However, when it rains in a K-drama, you know that something life-altering or a breakthrough in the show is about to go down and you’d better pay close attention. Either the drama is set to get intense or the romance is going to be up a notch.

Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016)
Whenever someone brings up a rain scene in K-drama, this is one of the ultimate scenes that come to mind: that heartbreaking scene when Hae Soo (IU) was protesting the death sentence for Court Lady Oh and suddenly, the fourth prince Wang Soo (Lee Joon Gi) provided cover for her from the rain.

Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016)
It was a painful mix of emotions not knowing if your heart will break or swoon because of what’s happening. The scene was so iconic that IU and Lee Joon Hi recreated the rain scene during the singer’s Taiwan concert where the actor made a surprise appearance to the delight of fans.

It’s Okay To Not Be Okay (2020)
First was when Moon Gang Tae (Kim Soo Hyun) searched the streets for Go Moon Young (Seo Yea Ji) on a rainy night. He found her drenched walking aimlessly on the road and offered his jacket before offering a ride home on his motorcycle. Go Moon Young came in for a hug looking relieved and comforted.

It’s Okay To Not Be Okay (2020)
The other one was when Moon Gang Tae and Moon Sang Tae (Oh Jung Se) walked under the rain with umbrella and took Go Moon Young with them. She instinctively used her umbrella to shield Gang Tae from the rain as Gang Tae shares an umbrella with his brother—an “aaawwww” moment that truly touches the heart.
Something In The Rain (2018)
Is it really a K-drama rain list without this drama with rain in its title? Just thinking about that rain scene when Joon He (Jung Hae In) went to Jin Ah (Son Ye Jin) and told her “I really can’t live without you” while under the umbrella together.

Legend of the Blue Sea (2016)
Shim Cheong (Jun Ji Hyun) patiently waited for Heo Joon Jae (Lee Min Ho) when a heavy downpour stranded her and right when you think Joon Jae was going to abandon her, he spotted her in that pitiful state, covered her from the rain with his umbrella and offered his hand to help her get up.

Goblin (2016)
Viewers collectively fell in love when Kim Shin (Gong Yoo) and the goblin’s destined bride Ji Eun Tak (Kim Go Eun) came across each other (and in beautiful slow motion) on a rainy day at a stonewall street unaware of the big roles they would play in each other’s lives. If you’re still single, be mindful of your surroundings when you’re walking outside in the rain—THE ONE could just be right around the corner!

Doctors (2016)
Hong Ji Hong (Kim Rae Won) and Yoo Hye Jung (Park Shin Hye) sought shelter from the rain in a red phone booth. And then Ji Hong just went out of the booth, danced in the rain and grabbed Hye Jung to join him. It ended with a confession and a surprise kiss that swept her off her feet.

Pinocchio (2014)
Choi Dal Po (Lee Jong Suk) and Choi In Ha (Park Shin Hye) braved the heavy rains without an umbrella. Actually, Dal Po got playful so he tossed aside her umbrella and shielded her with a traffic cone (pylon) instead. The two share lingering gazes under the rain with traffic cones over their heads.

She Was Pretty (2015)
Ji Jung Soon recalls a past trauma involving heavy rain and a tragic car accident and while in the throes of an intense panic attack, Kim Hye Jin chances upon him on a rainy night, runs to him, covers him with her jacket and comforts him. The two share an emotional moment in the middle of the road under the heavy downpour.

My ID is Gangnam Beauty (2018)
Do Kyung Seok (Cha Eun Woo) sought a jealous Kang Mi Rae (Im Soo Hyang) to protect her from the rain and to assure her that he is not interested in the woman she’s jealous of. This led to Kyung Seok confessing his love to Mi Rae and asking her to officially date him.

While You Were Sleeping (2017)
Hong Joo (Suzy) and Jung Jae Chan (Lee Jong Suk) were reunited and they marked it with a romantic kiss under the rain as Henry’s beautiful OST song It’s You plays in the background. And before you know it, the umbrella Hong Joo was holding to protect them from the rain got thrown on the side so they could be in the moment and share a heart-melting kiss amid the raindrops.

Flower of Evil (2020)
On their first date, the two took refuge from the rain. Cha Jiwon dared Hee Sung to play a round of rock, paper, scissors to break the tension in their romantic discussion. Hee Sung was reluctant but they played it anyway with Jiwon winning. She playfully pushed Hee Sung in the rain and he, without realizing it, smiled.

The Producers (2015)
Annoyed by Seung Chan because of the inconveniences of reality show filming, Cindy got more frustrated when it started raining in the forest. But then Cindy’s heart was touched when Baek Seung Chan’s hand shielded her from the rain and opened an umbrella to protect her.

The Producers (2015)
The heart stopping and seemingly romantic rain scene was quickly shot down when Seung Chan realized the cameraman was helplessly shielding the camera from the rain and left Cindy soaked up to protect the equipment and the cameraman instead. The scene hilariously ended the K-drama rain scene tropes for sure.

Some people love the rain, some do not. If you’re one of those who don’t, give rain a chance!

It’s the perfect season to cozy up with someone you love or to do something creative as you let your imagination fly as the rain drops. If you’re lucky, the rainy weather could even lead you to romance—just like in the K-dramas.
