KBS2 TV's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Love Rain,' predicted to create a new Korean Wave craze through Korean Wave stars Jang Geun Suk and Yoona along with the harmonization of the writer and director of Korean Wave dramas 'Autumn Fairytale' and 'Winter Sonata,' has produced sour results in its second episode airing.

According to AGB Nielsen Media Research on the 28th, the drama placed last among Monday-Tuesday dramas, recording a 5.8% viewer rating.

The low ratings have fans and producers of 'Love Rain' worrying while competing dramas 'Light and Shadow' and 'Fashion King' are on the rise. Although there are criticisms about the predictable storyline and familiar scenes, there remain audiences who enjoy 'Love Rain.'

On the audience bulletin board for 'Love Rain,' viewers are attempting to look at the positives of the drama, rather than its shortcomings with a young love mindset.

Audiences anxiously posted, "It's better because three generations can watch. I feel my heart beating while watching 'Love Rain.' The reason that the viewer rating is low must be because there are many who download the drama."

One representative on the topic of the poor viewer rating stated, "A lot of time has passed for 'Love Rain' to re-master the glory of 'Autumn Fairytale' and 'Winter Sonata.' It seems that audiences are frustrated at In Ha who cannot reveal his love for Yoon Hee."
