K-Dramas love to romanticize everything, especially the rain. In reality, there’s nothing particularly romantic about wet roads, slippery stairs, and muddy streets. But for dedicated K-drama fans, rainy days are perfect for curling up with a warm blanket, a hot and spicy ramen cup, and their favorite K-drama. In these shows, rain is more than just a weather condition. it’s almost as important as the lead characters and often acts as a catalyst in the story. Also in Korean culture, rain symbolizes good luck and new beginnings.
Here are some of the most memorable K-drama scenes to enjoy during the rainy season:
Crash Landing on You
“Crash Landing on You,” starring Hyun-Bin and Son Ye-Jin, is an instant classic that perfectly illustrates the K-drama rain theory. One memorable scene features the lead couple enjoying a stroll in the park together in the rain. This moment beautifully captures their growing bond.
It’s Okay to Not Be Okay
“It’s Okay to Not Be Okay” is known for its iconic scenes, including a touching rain sequence. In this scene, Moon Gang Tae, played by Kim Soo Hyun, sees Go Moon Young, played by Seo Yea Ji, soaked and wandering aimlessly in the rain.
Business Proposal
In “Business Proposal,” we usually see male characters coming to the rescue in rain scenes. However, this show flips the script. Shin Ha-ri, played by Kim Sejeong, protects her love interest, who has ombrophobia (fear of rain), with a yellow umbrella. This scene is empowering and heartwarming, showing that women can also be protectors in romantic scenarios.
Lovely Runner
“Lovely Runner,” features a touching scene with a 19-year-old Ryu Sun Jae holding an umbrella for the female lead, Im Sol, who is crying in the rain. Seeing her distress, Sun Jae shields her from the rain, providing comfort.
The Legend of the Blue Sea
Starring Jun Ji-hyun and Lee Min-ho, “The Legend of the Blue Sea,” includes one of the most iconic rain sequences in K-drama history. When severe rainfall leaves Shim Cheong (Jun Ji-hyun) alone and waiting, Heo Joon Jae (Lee Min-ho) finds her in her miserable state. He covers her with his umbrella, protecting her from the rain.
