The drama “Love Rain”, with actor Jang Geunsuk and Girls’ Generation’s Yoona playing the lead roles, has signed a contract with Japan’s Pony Canyon for resale publication rights.

Whiteley Media revealed on November 17th, “‘Love Rain’ has signed a contract with Japan’s Pony Canyon for resale publication rights. It will receive the best treatment amongst Hallyu dramas advancing overseas.”

Yoon Sukho will be leading the Hallyu wave with “Love Rain”, like he did with “Autumn Tale” and “Winter Sonata”. Jang Geunsuk and Yoona, who have been making their way out into Asia and the world, had also garnered attention in Japan and other countries before their roles were even confirmed for the drama.

As if proving their popularity, the Japanese broadcast company sent a lovecall early on for publication rights, allowing for the contract to be signed. The drama will be aired with the name “Loverain”. It was also informed that “Love Rain” has been gaining a lot of attention from many countries other than Japan.

“Love Rain” will start airing early in 2012.
