The funniest thing is I watched the show thinking HEY I WANNA BE A NOONA TOO and googled Jung Hae In only to find out that he’s actually 30 in reality. Watching them reminds us of something, whether in the past or now. I read comments noting that the actors must have had a serious relationship before to act this out, and I agree – they seem to bring some part of themselves into the show, which is why I think we all feel so attracted to this couple. American dramas are mostly passionate making-out (sorry if this is a generalisation!), but here, we are seeing really small kisses most of the time. In a sense, I think this drama has no less kissing scenes than any other American dramas I’ve watched, and yet this is more intimate and at the same time, conservative, and I admire this balance. We know what’s going to come, but it’s these moments that matter more to me – those quiet moments where you don’t say anything but simply look at your other half, which is why some dramas lose me when they start having bed scenes. The next time, it’s them with their clothes on but taking turns to be on top, smiling lovingly and then kissing the partner. For example, the first time they slept together, the focus was on the TV (LOVE that Singing in the Rain was chosen like whaaat) and you only see them taking off clothes (Joon Hee to be exact) and fidgeting under the blankets. I’m not a person for bed scenes to prove that the leads love each other and here, even though we know that the couple is having a healthy dose of sex, the portrayal is classy and yet electrifying. Sometimes i think Korean dramas try to ‘normalise’ their shows and show that koreans are exactly the same as everyone else, but end up over doing and spoiling the momentum. Their chemistry is on fire and their physical interactions are exactly how you would expect a normal couple to be. I am ADDICTED to this show – it brings a smile to my face and I actually find myself thinking about it even after the episode ends.įirst off, I like it that the couple is natural and relatable. Jang Seong-hwan, head of the Beijing Office of the Korea Copyright Commission, told local media that he is expecting to see more Korean content getting the green light in China in the near future.Just here to drop off quickly my thoughts about the show! Since 2017, Korean contents have been barred from not only video streaming platforms but also China’s TV networks and cinemas as well. The series has enjoyed popularity here, having reached a viewership rate of 7.3 percent.ĭespite the barrage of negative public opinion in China about the show, some Korean industry insiders see the drama’s release in China as signaling a positive change in Beijing’s stance on Korean content. Yoon, who finds her peaceful life sometimes frivolous, unexpectedly falls in love with her best friend’s younger brother, Seo Joon-hee (played by Jung). The romance drama, starring top star Son Ye-jin and rookie actor Jung Hae-in, tells the story of Yoon Jin-ah (played by Son), a single woman in her 30s who works as a store supervisor in a coffee shop. A Chinese remake of “Something in the Rain” will also be streamed on iQiyi, the platform announced in May. On Friday, the 16-part JTBC drama series made it to the list of top 10 popular content on iQiyi, one of the top three Chinese broadcasting and video sharing platforms. Korean fantasy romance drama “Saimdang: Memoir of Colors” was also aired in China in January, but it was approved by the NRTA before the retaliatory action began in November 2016. Since 2017, Beijing has imposed a tacit ban on Korean content in response to Seoul’s decision to deploy the US THAAD anti-missile system. “Something in the Rain,” which has been available on iQiyi from Thursday, became the first Korean drama in about five years to win approval from the Chinese broadcasting regulatory authority National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA). After this Winter Olympics, all my goodwill toward South Korea has disappeared.” “There are so many dramas that are not on the platform and you choose to stream a Korean drama? Take it down quickly,” another comment read.Īnother said, “Has the Korean content restriction been lifted? Do we not have any of our Chinese dramas? I am speechless. ![]() The comment received more than 49,000 “likes.” “(Korean dramas) can stay banned … Why are you starting this?” one user commented on iQiyi’s Weibo post.
