Rain held a concert tour in Japan during a busy day.

[Rain] : I think that enthusiasm for you guys’ work is not as good as it used to be.

0:22
[Rain] : You are false of heart.

0:27
Rain stuck it to the dancers about their insincere attitude and suddenly rushed out of the room in indignation. [pretending to be angry]

———————————————————–
– Episode 2-
1:06
The story about Rain’s appearance in the first episode of Mnet’s [Rain Effect] series is in a lot of papers.

1:09
Rain checks out people’s reactions to the show by his cellphone.

1:12
[Rain] : There are dozens of articles about the story in the papers.

1:14~1:18
[Rain]: My friend ‘Gwang-min’s name and my dogs, never mind me, are ranked No.1 and 2 on the Internet hit list.

1:20
The article says, “Who is ‘Kim Gwang-min’ who is Rain’s friend of over 10 years?”

1:23
Rain makes a call to his great friend ‘Kim Gwang-min’.

1:26
Rain can just hear a switchboard operator. [He giggles]

1:32~35
[Rain]: In my opinion, he doesn’t think that he can get any more mileage out of this show. [laughs] That’s why he doesn’t answer the phone. [laughs]

1:38
[Rain] : It means that he has finally attained his object. [That his name is ranked No.1 on the Internet hit list.] [laughs]

1:40
There are a lot of scandalous stories about Rain and ‘Lee Hyo-ri’ in the papers for fun.

1:43
[Rain] : ‘Lee Ha-neul’ was over the top. [In the first episode, ‘Lee Ha-neul’ shouted out, “Adultery! Adultery!” for fun when Rain and ‘Lee Hyo-ri’ put their arms around each other and hug to show that they were happy to meet each other]

1:47
[Rain] : ‘Lee Ha-neul’ is always joking around.

1:53
MAMA, one of the leading Asian music festivals, finally starts.

2:01
Meanwhile, we wonder where Rain is and what he is doing now.

2:02
[Lee Hyo-ri] : Are you done yet? (to Rain)

2:04
[Rain] : There is an hour before my performance.

2:06~10
[Lee Hyo-ri] : Whenever did you find time to do all the performances? Are you gonna show things you have enjoyed doing? Are you still living off the performance you used many years ago? [laughs]

2:10
[Rain] : No, I mean…

2:12
[Lee Ha-neul] : She has a spiteful tongue ! [laughs]

2:14
Rain has abandoned all pretence of being interested.

2:15~26
[Rain] : I think that the timing of your comeback is always opportune despite the long break. [to Lee Hyo-ri]

2:27
[Lee Hyo-ri] : Do you think that Lee Hyo-ri is a washed-up singer?

2:29
[Rain] : It’s absolutely not so. [laughs]

2:31
[Kim Ha-neul] : She has a spiteful tongue ! [laughs]

2:33
[Lee Hyo-ri] : I think that’s what he [Rain] means. [laughs]

2:33
[Rain] : No no no. That is not what I mean. [laughs]

2:34
[Lee Hyo-ri] : I fully understand that they can be fed up with me who are old-fashioned.

2:40~46
[Rain] : Please don’t say that. I think nobody can stand comparison with you [Lee Hyo-ri] in the present music world.

2:47
[Lee Hyo-ri] : Just popular in Korea? [laughs]

2:50
[Rain] : As you know, it is true. [laughs]

2:52
[Lee Hyo-ri] : I see that as an obsequious idea. [laughs]

2:53
[Rain] : No, I didn’t say that. [laughs]

2:54
This is getting way out of hand.

2:57~3:01
[Lee Hyo-ri] : [to Rain] Why are (you  ^@@^) here? Why not go to Paris Hilton’s side? [laughs] I think you’ve been to the side because you are what we call a world. [laughs] (?? ^@@^)

3:04
[Lee Hyo-ri] : So, you have to work harder to keep up with in the music world. [to Kim Ha-neul] :

3:06~10
[Rain] : I like this type of atmosphere where they talk ill of me as I’m in a situation where I’m recently being bullied online and in public. [a kind of paradox]

3:13~18
[Lee Hyo-ri] : [to Rain] Let’s get together one of these days after the reality show expires. I have many things to tell you.

3:18
[Rain] : No, thanks.[laughs] I should like to be excused from meeting you. [laughs]

3:24~27
[Lee Hyo-ri] : Previously I recognized you sunbathing in your birthday suit in a tanning shop. [laughs] [to Rain]

3:28~33
[Rain] : It was a ridiculous situation. [laughs] When I entered the room, somebody believed to as Lee Hyo-ri said, “You are Jihoony[Rain], right?” [laughs]

3:33
[Lee Ha-neul] : Did you two meet in your birthday suits? [laughs]

3:36
[Lee Hyo-ri] : We just had a talk with each other in our birthday suits without seeing each other with our own eyes. [laughs]

3:38~43
[Lee Hyo-ri] : While we were lying on the bed on the opposite sides of the fence, I imagined him being in a state of undress. [laughs]

3:46
[Lee Ha-neul] : I can imagine. [laughs]

3:49
[Rain] : Where is my cellphone? [pretending otherwise]

3:52~55
[Lee Hyo-ri] : Look at this! Even Rain (is wearing ^@@^) stockings. [laughs] He has changed since he came back.

3:55
[Lee Ha-neul] : It is so dated, it is almost obsolete.[laughs]

4:00
[Lee Hyo-ri] : You should have chosen the style yourself. [to Rain]

4:05
[Rain] : This is the style I’ve made. [laughs]

4:07
[Rain’s stylist ‘Hye-jung] : [I told you so]

4:10
Lee Hyo-ri is lost for words.

4:11
[Rain] : I can’t believe that they have brought me here. [laughs]

4:12~13
[Rain] : How dare she treat me this way? [laughs] Did I do something wrong? [laughs]

4:17~22
[Lee Ha-neul] : Absolutely not! She doesn’t really mean that—she’s just being deliberately provocative. I’ve got to go. Talk to you later. Even though we call her name upside down, she is still named ‘Lee Hyo-ri’. [laughs] See you later.

4:26~28
[Lee Hyo-ri] : Are you staying in Seoul for the time being?
[Rain] : Yeah.. Your phone number hasn’t changed yet, right?
[Lee Hyo-ri] : Yeah, it’s still the same.

4:30
[Rain] : See you later in Seoul.

4:33~36
[Lee Hyo-ri] : I missed you a lot. Do well!

[Rain] : Today I’m gonna let them know the date of my comeback. I’m pretty happy with what I’m doing. I’m gonna enjoy the first time, and I’ll be doing as I usually do, not getting too carried away.

5:24
Finally, Rain goes backstage before his performance.

5:31
Since this is just the stage he’s been waiting for where he lets everyone know of his comeback, he seems to be more nervous.

5:40
On stage, Stevie Wonder is honored with a special MAMA Award for his work.

5:54
Rain is on standby backstage eagerly waiting.

6:19
When there is a moment when a video announcing Rain’s comeback is shown, how will the audience react?

6:47
[Rain] : I went out of my skull when I stood on the stage for the first time since my debut as a singer. [After his performance]

7:06
[Rain] : My heart was too full for words as soon as I appeared on the stage.

7:11
Rain’s unexpected appearance makes the crowd go absolutely wild.

7:19~24
[Rain] : Before I knew it, I took a deep breath, and I found this is the place I should be.

7:28
The screams of the crowd roars in the hall.

7:33
Rain’s powerful performances on stage mutilate 2 years of his absence.

7:38
Rain rapidly moves down the stage for another performance.

7:59
Rain successfully finishes work without any false move.

8:06
A video teaser announcing his comeback is released soon after.

8:15
When his comeback that a lot of fans have been looking forward to is unveiled, Rain watches it, feeling nervous.

8:33
Rain heads to the waiting room with a light heart after his performance.

8:33
Rain runs into ‘Lee Hyo-ri’ and Big Bang’s member ‘Daesung’ on his way.

8:44~58
[Daesung] : [to Rain] How have you been? This is the same color as yours. [laughs]
[Rain] : It just happens to be done. [laughs]
[Daesung] : I am reluctant to get compared to you. [laughs]
[Rain] : Don’t worry. My situation is also past praying for. [laughs]
[Lee Hyo-ri] : What are you guys doing in front of me, with ugly faces? [laughs]
[Daesung] : So, are you proud to get a man? [giving her a disgusted look for fun] [*Actually, Lee Hyo-ri’s husband is a very ugly man][laughs]
[Rain] : Our faces are the hottest ones these days. [to Daesung][laughs] See you later.

9:00~2
[Rain] : Take care. [to Lee Hyo-ri]
[Lee Hyo-ri] : See you then.

9:04
Rain is satisfied with his performance after receiving an enthusiastic response from the audience that day.

10:02
The Zepp tour venue in Tokyo.

10:05~29
[Rain] : Unexpectedly I find there are no malicious comments to Internet articles on my performance at MAMA. [seeing people’s reactions on Internet]
[Song Jae-hong] : There are a lot of comments that no singer can compete with Rain.
[Rain] : I am usually provoked out of patience when I read malicious comments to insult my character, however, comment of any kind is better than doing nothing.

10:30~38
[Song Jae-hong] : A netizen said, “I turned off the TV when Rain’s appearance on TV irritated me, but I was so curious so that I turned on the TV again. [laughs] They can’t help but wonder how well he does performance.

10:43
[Rain] : It seems like forever since my face last turned red. [laughs]

10:47
Rain’s manager wants to intrude himself into Rain and his dancers’ conversation.

10:49~50
[Manager] : Now it’s time to prepare for your concert.
[Rain] : You should do it first. [laughs]

10:52~11:05
[Rain] : Have you arranged my lines in the English script? [to manager] You should highlight the changed parts in it, and I’m gonna rehearse my lines with you later. You speak good English, right?

11:09
[Manager] : A little bit. [laughs]

11:12~22
[Rain] : Anyway, thank you for your hard work at MAMA, and I think we’ve achieved good results this time. I’m to comeback after the reality show.  I’m prepared to accept my share of blame.
[Sung-tack] : It’s better to get the worst out of the way first.

Rain becomes one with the fans.

——————————————————

11:57
Hollywood calls Rain out again.

12:02
At his hotel that night.

12:05
Rain is expecting a video call from movie ‘The Prince’s director ‘Brian A Miller’

12:08~13
[Rain’s staff] : How can you have coffee at night?
[Rain] : Because I have to memorize all my lines tonight.

12:18~23
[Rain’s staff] : Do you drink wine? [laughs] [When Rain slurps his coffee]
[Rain] : I should slurp my coffee in a big mug to make it taste better.

12:30~42
[Rain] : Can you answer the phone for me while I’m out? [to manager]
[Manager] : Sure.
[Rain] : Please don’t (make him believe ^@@^) [director] that you are Rain. [laughs] When I’ve seen you trying to imitate me with sunglasses, you are more likely to do so. [laughs]

12:45
[Staff] : And even if you care, you shouldn’t. [to manager]
[Manager has a hangdog look]

12:52
Just then, Rain is wanted on the phone.

12:56
[Staff] : Telephone for you [to Rain]

12:58~14:16
Rain and the director speak in English on the phone.

14:17~24
[Rain] : I think everything has turned out as we wish. I’ll make arrangements for my clothes and take them with me. OK, thank you.

14:26
Rain successfully has a meeting with the director.

14:29~33
[Rain] : I’ll bet I come out great in the movie. I think I can do what I like by expressing emotions through my eyes.

14:37
Rain looks as if he is about to dominate Hollywood.

14:40
Rain stays up late to prepare and concentrate on his character.

14:47
It is the end of the day.

14:52
There is a man [Rain] who has a hard time falling asleep at night.

15:01
Rain is absorbed in music when brushing his teeth on the bed, and his feeling is enhanced by the music.

15:07
Brushing his teeth for five minutes, he hurried straight over.

15:16
Rain washes his hair, putting a hair cap on his head.

15:22
Rain uses lotion until nothing is left in it.

15:44
1:00am

15:48
Rain begins practicing reading his English lines in earnest.

15:53
Rain is so rusty after a long interval that he seems to have trouble speaking in English.

15:59
Rain is studying very hard.

16:09
Rain is so sleepy that he can hardly keep his eyes open.

16:15
Rain nods off to sleep.

16:22
Rain practices reading his English lines again.

16:33~41
Rain is absorbed in study, listening to energetic music to keep himself awake.

16:54
[Rain] : It’s already 3 o’clock.

17:05
He practices reading the lines over and over again until late at night.

17:16
To shake off sleepiness, Rain stares at the camera as if he and the camera have a staring contest.

17:20
Rain finally washes his face to shake off sleepiness.

17:24
His head has cleared up and he begins studying the lines again.

17:42
4:00am

17:45
[Rain] : Phew.. I must get some sleep.

17:51
[Rain] : Oh, father..father..

18:02
Three hours later.

18:08
It’s very hard for him to wake up early in the morning due to lack of sleep and mounting tiredness.

1:26
He can’t stop practicing the lines even while having a shower.

18:36
Rain is looking at the cellphone after a shower.

18:48
He gives a deep sigh.

18:53
Rain runs articles in the papers that make him upset on the last day of his concert.

19:00
Care sits heavily on him because of such news articles with a critical eye.

19:11
In front of the Zepp tour venue.

18:17
Fans have been waiting here for Rain since this morning.

19:22
Rain finally arrives on the scene.

19:34
Rain greets them, waving at them.

19:41
Rain leaves with a heavier heart than ever.

19:50
Unusually, things proceed quietly.

20:06
[Fans] : Rain, we love you!!

20:09
The concert hall is crowded with people.

20:19
Rain appears in front of the fans.

20:22
Rain starts his final concert in Japan amidst hearty cheers.

20:29
Rain wants to end it very well as it is the last show in Japan.

20:39
[Rain] : Hello, everyone!

20:42
[Rain] : Thank you for being with me.

21:01
Rain moves offstage while a video showing his activities is played.

21:07
All the staffs take part in helping him to change his clothes within a short time.

21:19
Rain changes his clothes rapidly and is quite ready now.

21:30
When the video ends, and Rain appears on stage again.

21:38
Regardless of how hard the work may be, he tries to do his best to the end.

21:45
Rain is passionately enjoying his performance with his fans.

21:51
While he hardly has any time to catch his breath, he looks a little tired.

22:03
Rain takes a sip of water to moisten his dry throat for a while.

22:15
He vents his explosive energy of movement again just on stage.

22:26
The performance ends in great success.

22:37
Rain speaks his mind by having a drink. Where then did it begin?

22:41
They have a wrap-up party after his performance.

22:46
[Rain] : We all did an excellent job!

22:51
Rain makes a point of thanking all the staffs to the concert.

22:55~23:08
[Rain]: I like to perform in kind of appropriately sized hall crowded with people where fans and I can communicate with each other.
[Song Jae-hong] : We can invoke a more exciting response from the audience in such a place.

23:12
Rain is sitting quietly.

23:16
Rain thoughtfully drinks soju.

23:29~32
[Dancer] : You look depressed. [to Rain]
[Rain] : I’m not in a bad mood. I feel good.

23:33
[Song Jae-hong] : I think Rain’s mental abilities are very strong.

23:42
Rain hides his anxiety with a forced smile.

23:47
A female executive from the production crew sits across the dinner table from Rain to interview with him.

23:49~24:04
[The executive] : There was a myriad of things happening to you.
[Rain]: There was, is, and will be a lot happening. I feel like I’m riding a roller coaster. Good events have always been followed by bad ones.

24:16~30
[Rain] : Since the complicated series of events that had led to this situation, things have not worked out for me, but I bear no resentment towards them.
I should not consider thinking it’s unfair to me. Even if it is unfair, I should give no indication.

24:33
[Rain] : I’m always ready to take criticism, but eventually, truth comes out. I think it’s impossible to always receive clapping.

24:47~25:52
[Rain] : We all live our lives experiencing all sorts of emotions. Suddenly, I ever felt doubts about my life in the past. I’m prepared to accept constructive criticism, but I have only to let the malicious attacks on me go in one ear and out the other.
As my true roots are in Korea and Korean fans have named me Rain, of course they have the right to criticize me, to like me, and to love me. I think I’ve been only applauded so far.
As ‘Song Jae-hong’ said, there is a story about a netizen who is really still interested in me despite disliking me, which is a cathartic experience to me.
I’ve realized yet again just how precious a fan is.

25:59
He pauses, apparently lost in thought.

26:04
The day darkens into night in Tokyo.

26:09
At Gimpo Airport on November 29, 2013.

26:14
The place is heaving with more reporters and fans than ever to see Rain’s reaction because he is in a bad situation where there are lots of bad articles about him in the papers.

26:19
Finally Rain shows up.

26:22
An unforeseen occurrence happens.

26:25
It is a situation where his fan suddenly descends on him, begging for his autograph.

26:30
He treats his fan kindly, behaving with great composure.

26:36
Rain rushes to get out without being able to sign autographs for anybody.

26:41
Rain heads home quietly, being mobbed by photographers.

26:46
Rain’s home that afternoon.

26:48
Only Sarangy and Jangoony, Rain’s dogs, are staying in the empty house.

26:58
[Rain] : Oh, my! What the hell are you doing?

26:59
[Rain]: Who did this mess! [Sarangy has just pooped in the room]

27:03
There are piles of dog shit everywhere in the house.

27:05
[Rain] : The floor is full of gunk!

27:19
Rain can’t even relax as soon as he gets home.

27:10
[Rain] : I need more rags.

27:13
[Rain] : Oops! there is more shit in another room! He is driving me nuts!

27:18
[Rain] : Take it easy [to Sarangy]. He takes a shit more than I do!

27:21
[Rain] : It must be a blessing to live as a dog!

27:25~27:45
Rain is talking to his sister on the phone.

[Rain] : Why didn’t you remove the shit before going out? You didn’t see him taking a shit? Are you trying to screw me over?  Why are you so angry at me?… I apologize if so.

[She just hangs up on him as if she is angry]

[Rain] : Hello..hello!

27:52
Rain is doing a general house cleaning to chill out.

27:58
Rain goes to a room to bring Sarangy after cleaning the rooms.

28:00~11
[Rain] : You rascal! He really drives me out of my mind! Why (do you keep ^@@^) taking a shit!

28:17
Rain takes Sarangy to the bathroom to bathe him.

28:20
Rain’s manager is removing Sarangy’s shit all the time.

28:24
Suddenly, the electric bulb breaks into smithereens.

28:26
[Rain] : Take it easy! Take it easy!

28:30
[Rain] : Don’t move!

28:33~36
[Rain] : I think I am OK, right?
[Manager] : Yes.
[Rain] : Please do not reply half-heartedly to what I said!

28:35
Rain is destined to work hard.

28:46
While he’s at it, he’ll bathe Sarangy.

28:53
Rain even washes Sarangy’s back passage throughly.

28:56
Sarangy looks refreshed after the bath.

29:01~05
[Rain] : This nice, hot bath is making you feel better, right? [to Sarangy] Whew!

29:08
[Rain]: I’m so starving!

29:10
[Rain] : I gotta look for something to eat.

29:12~14
[Rain] : You can cook good ramen? [to manager] Ok, I’ll do it.

29:17
Rain shows cooking skill to appease his hunger.

29:09
Rain has his own special method of cooking delicious ramen.

29:10~30
[Rain] : Boil only noodles in hot water for a few minutes, immerse them in cold water, drain. and then cook ramen, adding a spoonful of ssamjang. Finally add eggs.

29:34
Wow! it looks good!

29:40
[Manager] : It’s very delicious!

29:45
The hungry guys are hoeing in.

29:51
[Manager] : Frankly, I prefer greasy ramen.

29:54
[Rain] : We are not suited to each other.

29:59
This is new actor ‘Rain’.

30:04
At Incheon International Airport on November 30, 2013.

30:08
Rain is flying out to shoot Hollywood film ‘The Prince’.

30:16~26
[Staff] : We’ll prepare for your music video well.
[Rain] : I still don’t know exactly what direction we will take with the project.

Rain sees how things are going until shortly before his departure.
Rain finally leaves for the US.

30:33~56
[Rain] : This is the script for my movie ‘The Prince’. I got it exactly five days ago. Originally, I was poor at English. I feel giddy from speaking English I’m not used to, but I think I can do well. I’ll see you in a little while.

31:39
The movie shooting where there are many coordinators and famous actors including Rain, will be unveiled soon.

31:21
Mobile, one of the Gulf Coast seaports, is located in Alabama in the American South.

31:21
[Rain] : At last, we’ve arrived in Mobile, Alabama.

31:32~37
[Rain] : I feel so good, and I’m so happy to work with Bruce Willis and John Cusack. They are my favorite actors.

31:39
Rain’s group is transferred from the airport to the hotel by taxi.

31:51
[Rain]: When I asked the taxi driver, “How long does it take to get to the hotel?”, he answered, “Not too long”. When I asked again, “I’m sorry?”, he answered, “I said, not too long” [laughs]

32:00
There is something cynical about the Mobile-style taxi driver.

[Manager] : He has a blade scar on his neck.

[Rain] : Does he? Please don’t stare at him.

31:19~23
[Rain]: The blade scar is seen clearly?
[Manager] : It may be a surgical scar. It is still new.

32:30
[Rain] : I think he underwent a surgical operation.

32:35~37
[Rain]: It’s too cold in the car, but I can’t ask the driver to turn off the air conditioner. [laughs] I think he will take in a wrong spirit. [laughs]

32:40

32:43~33:05
[Rain] : When we meet the director, I’ll ask him as to whether I should be putting a piece of candy into my mouth during my scene.
[Manager] : Why are you trying putting a candy into your mouth?
[Rain]: I want to look calm and composed.
[Manager]: Then, are you going to be just putting it into your mouth, or suck on it? [laughs]
[Rain] : I’ll take care of everything. Why are you so curious to know about such petty matters? We don’t seem to have clicked yet.

For a three-month old cub manager, the path of learning is long and winding.

33:07~32
[Rain] : My character in the film is similar to that of Joker or Gary Oldman. The villain I play in the film is sexy but charismatic. I want to play the part that way.

Manager rehearses for the interpretation [translation] for Rain.
