I wouldn’t mind a starry starry umbrella if Yoo SeungHo came with it. I interpreted the yellow umbrella as a sign that the couple’s separation was only short-lived, and they had a bright future ahead of them.īut any color of umbrella will do, if shared with pretty boy, Cha Eun Woo,įrom “Legend of the Blue Sea” which is another drama written by the CLoY writer. In “Splash Splash Love,” the King (played by Yoon DoJoon) reincarnated and showed up at Seulgi’s side. Apparently, those colors were the girl’s favorite…or something like that. I remember a scene in “He’s Psychometric” where all the umbrellas that paraded past the hero were either yellow or red. Here’s the yellow umbrella in “She Was Pretty”:Īnd the yellow umbrella in “Missing You.” In “Tomorrow, With You” the couple married on a rainy day. There must be some folklore or old wives’ tale about the auspiciousness of the color yellow that I haven’t heard because yellow is the preferred color of umbrellas in kdramas.

The yellow umbrella is ubiquitous in kdramas. The central message of an accidental meeting on rainy day: the couple are fated for each other. (It wasn’t really raining…but we got the message). The first encounter in “Temptation of Wolves” has often been parodied.Īnd we had the “cute-meet” in “Extra-ordinary You” between Eun DanOh and Haru. She didn’t know that he’d appeared before her even before then (remember? her first crush was the baseball player and Gong Yoo ruined his game…hahaha). Ha! For the girl, this was their first meeting. We saw Gong Yoo meeting his bride in “Goblin” in the rain. The raindrops represent the tears.įirst meetings in kdramas have to be memorable. So if the characters are lonely and depressed, then the clouds have to weep with them.

The weather is supposed to match the mood of the characters. *I’m not a literature major, so don’t kill me if I get this literary device wrong. Off the top of my head, I can list 10 uses of rain in an Asian drama. Kdrama can’t be a legit drama without a rain scene. Does it always represent tears or drama or an excuse to huddle together under an umbrella, or can it have other meanings? What significance does rain have in K-dramas and C-dramas? It always shows up and seems to be like another character. Dear All, this is a bit of an off track query after a stormy night.

Tomorrow with you gif
