KBS‘s highly-anticipated drama, ‘Love Rain‘, is experiencing some turbulence due to Jang Geun Suk‘s busy overseas schedules.


According to an insider related to the issue, shooting for the drama came to an ‘all-stop’ for two weeks because of the male lead’s Japanese activities. “Director Yoon Suk Ho recently brought all the managers together to go over schedules.” he said. “Because Jang Geun Suk paid attention only to his foreign schedules, the director had to step up to the plate. It’s a rare case for the director to personally meet with the managers.”

Jang Geun Suk recently kicked off his Japanese Arena Tour, and also has his first Chinese album to promote as well. In short, his schedule is packed.

“The shooting schedule is considerably backed up,” the insider revealed. “We were supposed to have completed five episodes by now, but only got through one. Jang Geun Suk keeps leaving in the middle of this situation, so the directors and the other cast members are having a hard time.”

Jang Geun Suk also raised eyebrows by bringing his own filming crew on-set, purportedly to film footage for a making-of video. “It’s not enough to harm the production, but since it’s Director Yoon’s first time dealing with it, he doesn’t know what to think of it.”

‘Love Rain’, which also stars SNSD‘s YoonA as the female lead, is scheduled to be broadcast in early 2012.
