SOMETHING IN THE RAIN
I n f o r m a t i o n
»Something in the Rain (Korean: 밥 잘 사주는 예쁜 누나) is a 2018 South Korean television series directed by Ahn Pan-seok and written by Kim Eun. It stars Son Ye-jin, Jung Hae-in and Jang So-yeon. (...)
The series explores the relationship of two people as they go from being "just acquaintances" to "a genuine couple." Jin-ah (Son Ye-jin) is a district supervisor in her 30s at the coffeehouse franchise Coffee Bay (an actual Korean chain) and Jun-hui (Jung Hae-in) is an animator in his late 20s at video game developer Smilegate Entertainment. When he returns from working abroad, he reconnects with Jin-ah — who also happens to be best friends with Jun-hui's sister since childhood. The episodes give an intimate look into how they fall in love, struggle with their age differences (considered to be taboo in some circles), and find the courage to go public with their relationship to everyone around them.
The series also contains a secondary storyline about the struggles that female employees face in the company where Jin-ah works, as they try to climb the corporate ladder amidst sexual harassment, mistreatment, discrimination, and career sabotage from their male managers – all part of an unspoken culture of sexism considered to be normal among South Korean companies.«
