Rain eyes a return to television dramas

[wishdreamx3.livejournal.com]

Singer, actor, fashion designer, entertainment company CEO, and all-around entertainer Rain is said to be eyeing a return to broadcast television later this year.

According to a rep from Rain’s company J.Tune Entertainment, the star has been looking favorably at several proposals for drama roles, and plans to make his final decision soon. One possibility is with a project whose writer made the suggestion directly to the star himself, and as they are close friends, Rain is said to be considering that role seriously. His rep said, “It’s true that he’s looking more positively on a drama role rather than a film.”

Rain had at one point decided to make his television comeback last year, but development fizzled on the project. This would be his first drama in four years, following 2005’s revenge series A Love to Kill. He’s done several films in the interim — I’m a Cyborg But That’s Okay, Speed Racer, Ninja Assassin — but arguably hasn’t been able to reclaim the visibility he’d enjoyed at his peak, around the time of his incredibly popular 2004 trendy drama Full House co-starring Song Hye-gyo and his third album (”It’s Raining”).

(Personally, I think his somewhat haphazard approach to breaking into the American market set him back quite a bit. Without the proper organization and strategic planning required for such a huge undertaking, his career screeched to a halt back home as he dropped out of the spotlight for several years — eons in showbiz time. I think Rain is a decent actor, particularly with his roles in Sangdoo, Let’s Go to School and I’m a Cyborg But That’s Okay, so if this drama thing ends up happening, I’ll be looking forward to it.)

Rain left Korea on July 6 for U.S. promotional activities for Ninja Assassin, which will have its worldwide premiere on November 25. Following his return to Korea, he’ll hold a fanmeeting on the 26th.

Good for him.
And, although his mouth looks weird, that's a pretty god picture of him.

IAweverything.
I want him here in America so bad so I can stalk him, kidding. I am enjoying him and his work back home. I understand the glossy love everyone has to break in the US but really it's not that important. The industry will turn on a person very fast. (heck they wanted to write him off coz of SP racer, hello it wasn't even his film) BTW i liked it a lot. So I wish him blow up success but then I say run swim back to Korea, US will never give him the love for being the hard worker he is.
ok enough of that... what kinda promo~ i'm excited, isn't it early? Is he going to be here til Nov? I wonder. Come to the Mall of America...I live there!
