ewww...fuckin ugly rain..i wish he will fucked by dog.

poor dog . did he ever do anything to you ? no . you need to get a damn life wasting your time hating on someone that don\'t even know you exist , & wont give two fucks bout you .

i hope its at least a well-written role. God knows what a terrible role can do to his acting career. Chinese dramas aren\'t known for their quality lmao...

haha...in terms of "star quality." I don\'t know why but that\'s funny

Dang no wonder idol actors are filthy rich. They already have a large fanbase due to their idol status. Then they display their acting talents and gain even more fans and attention. Rain FIGHTING!!

He is already halfway to carrying off that role cos he has the "chaebol" look!  Looking forward to this drama.  Does he speak Chinese?

People should know  that a lot of chinese dramas have voices dubbed EVEN when the actors are chinese. Like Zhou mi and Victoria acted in a drama once and their voices were dubbed, even when they\'re chinese. And also...a lot of BIG Chinese stars can receive up to like couple hundred thousand/ episode in China, it\'s common for it to add up to couple million or over.

Pssh added to my to watch list already! C\'mon Rain + Tiffany Tang? HELL YUSH!!

can that shirt just open up a little bit more?

actually no, the shirt bothers me, just take it off rain 

WHOA THE WOT??!!! thought he was already rich enough...just saying XD

I just find it sad Taiwan has to hire Korean actors/idols to up their ratings for their dramas. And they must have a big budget to pay Rain so much.

according to the article, it\'s a Chinese drama (mainland), not a Taiwanese Drama

@bestrc taiwan is still consider chinese just not part of China. And according to the another article the director of this drama had usually directed Taiwanese dramas.

@lostinthemeadow yes, nearly all Taiwanese are ethnic Han Chinese. But they are different countries....so a Chinese drama is distinct from a Taiwanese drama. Your original post referred to Taiwan, when according to this article, this drama is being produced, filmed, and financed in China. So understandably, I found it odd that you would drag a different country into your argument, irrespective of the director\'s other projects.

Lucky him. This year has been lucky for him. Rain hwaiting.

DAMNNNNNNNN, 5.5 million dollars!!!!! That is beyond insane. Imagine what a person can do with that money though!

it\'s so awkward when voices are dubbed over

Chinese is a difficult language. I\'m pretty sure he would love to speak it fluently but he can\'t. Lol
