On the 8th, singer Rain brought a suit against outsourcing drama production 'D' which hasn't yet paid 396 million won of the total fees for his appearance in KBS 2TV drama 'The Fugitive Plan B'.
According to Rain's agent, his side has pressed the production for the payment of its debt by certified mail, but it hasn't yet paid to him, so he has brought an action against it.
For a similar reason, last December, the production was sued by actress 'Lee Na Young' who Rain had played in the drama with.

KBS highly anticipated drama Fugitive : Plan B already ended last week.
Started with strong first episode rating (reached more than 20%), this 20 episodes detective drama experienced a downfall rating, never reached the 20% rating mark for the rest of the episode and ended around 11%.
Although it's not a result everybody expected, but this drama brought benefit for one of its main star, Lee Na Young.
Through this drama, for the first time in her long acting career, Na Young challenged herself for action performance.
On the Fugitive Plan B Special episode which aired last week, the day after the 20th episode, Lee Na Young confessed that action scene was a difficult part.
She said that the beating action is more difficult than to be beaten action. Both needs to be very careful and cautious.
Although the action scenes resulted some minor injuries of hurting wrist and toes for her, luckily, she more often being hit than hitting.
When reporter asked her about her partner, Rain: "What type of man is Rain?", she said that in the real life, Rain's just the same character with Ji Woo – Rain's role in Fugitive – sometimes serious but some other time super funny and Rain always cheers up the mood of the shooting field.
Yes, we believed that, many behind the scene pictures proved it.
The KBS2 blockbuster "The Fugitive: Plan B" drew its curtain with its final 20th episode on December 8. A special program showing behind-the-scenes episodes was broadcast on December 9 with Lee Jung-jin, who played police investigator Do-soo in the show, as its narrator.
The cast and crew worked in perfect harmony. Rain, who played a leading role of private investigator Ji-woo, served as an entertainer on the sets.
Scenes from a special program showing Rain and director Gwak Jung-hwan
Lee Na-young, who played the female lead role of Ji-ni, showed off her new image in the first action-packed drama of her career. Other cast members such as Sung Dong-il and Kong Hyung-jin also add zest to the show.
"The Fugitive" drew much attention from the beginning because it was directed and written by the same director and writer, Gwak Jung-hwan and Chun Seung-il, who were behind the mega-hit period show "The Slave Hunters." But it failed to gain as much popularity as their previous show. Gwak commented, "Ratings do not necessarily reflect the toil and sweat we put into a work. I hope all the cast members remember that. What counts is the effort itself. I hope other people also acknowledge this and recognize us for that."
- It focuses on interviews with Rain and 'Lee Na Young' -
0:39~0:59 Q: How did you feel when you gave Jinny (Lee Na Young) a kiss in the last scene of The Fugitive Plan B'?
Rain: 'Ji Woo' (Rain) used to kiss a character called Jinny with force, but in the last scene, they came to kiss each other by tacit agreement. I wish they had kissed a little earlier, and it's a great pity that they had kissed in the last scene of the drama.
1:21~23 Q:What was the hardest part of doing this drama?
Lee Na Young: I think the fact that we had to shoot action scenes, including me.
1:36~2:06 Q: A picture showing your lost muscle mass during the 2010 Asia Song Festival, just ignited a heated debate on the Internet.
Rain: It all depends on how they take pictures. I still have nice abs. You can see the abs during my concert at the end of this year. Please look forward to it.
2:22~2:35 Rain: The biggest change in this drama seems to be that Jinny wears a short skirt, I think.
Lee Na Young: Maybe I should just stop wearing it.
Rain: 'Lee Na Young' has seldom worn a short skirt, but she has often chosen to wear it in the drama.
Lee Na Young: I think I've exposed my body to the public frequently.
Rain: Men ought to be all the more grateful for me.
2:43~ By making mistakes by intention, Rain is trying to make the drama contain many scenes where she wears a dress that shows her exposed figure.
2:53~2:58 Rain: The scene should be let go on long. That's the shots. Don't give up!
3:08 Q: What is it about each of you, you're pleased with?
Lee Na Young: He always let me know the point that has to say in this drama.
Rain: I think I'm more meticulous, but she isn't.
Lee Na Young: He brought me laughter.
Rain: We sometimes had a very hard time during the drama shoot, but we always seemed to use our good manners.
3:49 Rain: It seems like just yesterday that I started shooting the drama 6 months ago. Thanks for a job well done.
4:00~ Lee Na Young: I know that our great accomplishments are due to your hard work and professionalism.

The KBS2 blockbuster drama "The Fugitive: Plan B" has drawn its curtain with good triumphing over evil.
The show kept the tension high even in the 20th and last episode on December 8, as Yoon So-ran (Yun Jin-seo), a police investigator and girlfriend of fellow investigator Do-soo (Lee Jung-jin), was killed, and Ji-ni (Lee Na-young) and Ji-woo (Rain) saw the gold bullions they had barely acquired go missing again.
That seemed to leave no hope for the two to reveal the truth behind the gold theft and evil crimes by Yang Doo-hee (Song Jae-ho) and Yang Yeong-jun (Kim Eung-soo), who masterminded many murders, including that of Ji-ni's parents, in order to lay their hands on the gold.
Kai (Daniel Henney), who once worked for Doo-hee, comes to help Ji-ni and Ji-woo and reveals the whole truth to the media. But Doo-hee and Yeong-jun deny their involvement and point the finger at a sniper they hired.
Getting away with the murder, Yeong-jun, a prominent politician, runs for the presidency successfully. But Ji-ni shows up at a campaign event he is holding and plays a recorded tape where he threatens Ji-ni about the gold in front of reporters present, and Ji-woo comes with the gold he found in Yeong-jun's office. This leads to the arrest of Doo-hee, who kills himself later, and other accomplices.
Bringing all the evil to justice and confirming their love for each other, Ji-ni and Ji-woo leave in a car on their own.

[Pictures showing Rain at a hospital in Chooncheon city on November 28th.]
Here are pictures taken at a hospital in Chooncheon city of Korea which shows Rain. I'm sorry the pictures came out blurry.
He was wearing the same kind of clothes that he wore at Guangzhou airport. As you know, he had been so busy.
Even though he was probably very tired because he came to the hospital immediately after he arrived at Incheon airport of Korea, he was saying hello to the filming crew in a very loud voice, as soon as he got off the elevator.
We were quiet so we would not disturb others during the drama shoot. The cameras started rolling at 8:00pm.
There were probably still two more scenes to be shot at that time when we had to return home at midnight. I can't wait to watch this drama to be aired in Japan because it has completed filming after such a lot of hard work.

Which country's heart will they "Runaway" with next?

With only one episode left to air for the KBS Wednesday/Thursday drama "Fugitive Plan B", Rain made an appearance in Yeouido on December 6th to talk about his experience and what's coming up for the world star.
He said, "Although 'Fugitive' didn't rank too high in terms of viewers' ratings, we did have a diehard fan base. It helped me to see a new side of me as a person and I think it was a drama that gradually earned the recognition of viewers. Although ratings are important, I also think the relationships formed between people and bettering yourself as a human being is important. I want to thank the producer Kwak Jeong-hwan for always greeting me with a smile and supporting me despite the various hardships that popped up during this drama. I'm thankful to Lee Na-young too for giving me strength as her opposite male co-star. She told me that if I let the negative personal issues get to me on set, I'm the one that's losing in the end. Overall, this was a project that allowed me to really look back on myself and my actions."
The filming of "Fugitive" took place while there were allegations of gambling and a significant amount of debt for the singer/actor.
As for what lays ahead for the big star Rain revealed, "The timing worked out for me to shoot one more Hollywood movie and then I'll enlist in the military towards the latter half of next year."

황미진과 양영준은 노련하게 나름의 플랜B를 가동해 위기를 해결해나가기 시작하고 유일한 희망, 금괴마저 사라진다. 생각보다 거대하고 절망적인 현실의 벽에 부딪힌 주인공들은 이제 다시 서로를 밀어내며 괴로워하는데...
The last episoe (the 20th) :: On Wednesday, December 8th, at 9:55pm.
'Ji Woo's operation to try to drag a confession out of 'Yang Young Joon' (Yang Du Hee's son), is being waged dangerously as 'Yang Young Joon's side behaves more rudely than thought.
'Ji Woo' (Rain) proceeds as always planned and this represents a significant achievement in itself, but his approach causes another victim, so he is overcome with shame, thinking of 'Jang Da Boo's death.
While both 'Howang Mi Jin' (Yun Son Ha) and 'Yang Young Joon' start to avoid the difficult situation with going for plan B, even the god bars that are the only hope for the main characters (Ji Woo & Jinny), have disappeared.
The main characters refuse to help each other in an even more desperate situation and are greatly tormented.

The 20-part series first scored viewership ratings in the 20 percent range when it aired on October 7 and has maintained its position at No. 2 on the Wednesday and Thursday primetime slot with ratings in the 13 to 15 percent range.
Rain says that he plans to enter the army in the latter half of next year after finishing shooting a hollywood film.
Rain talked about the terms of entering the army at KBS TV's every Wednesday and Thursday drama series 'The Fugitive Plan B' farewell party last 6th.
On that day, Rain expressed as, "I'll enter the army in the latter half of next year after finishing shooting a hollywood film I've recently arranged my schedule to fit into."
And, he said, having a great affection for 'The Fugitive Plan B', "'The Fugitive Plan B' series haven't enjoyed high viewer ratings, but the drama's continuity in a unique way in a tightly woven plot has created a huge fan base for it.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to have made a lot of friends during the drama shoot. I think this drama will win wide acclaim among the public as time goes on."
Adding, "I really wanted to appear in a soap drama, but I think 'The Fugitive Plan B' can be far better received by the overseas critics because it is a detective drama with lots of suspense."

The beginning of the last episode of KBS TV's every Wednesday and Thurday drama series "The Fugitive Plan B", portends a leading cast member's death before it goes off the air, which makes viewers look forward to it.
One official from the drama production excited curiosity, giving a hint about the death in the 20th episode of the drama, "One of the main characters will meet his or her death in the 20th episode."
Continuing, "A sad thing will happen in the beginning of the last episode where they are in so much pain because of one character's unavoidable death, so the drama shoot proceeded on under a sad atmosphere."
This is the first time that one of the main characters has come to die since 'Jang Sa Boo' (Gong Hyung Jin) was cruelly taken by poison by 'Howang Mi Jin' (Yun Son Ha) in the middle of where the drama started.
Even though the beginning of the last episode will tragically unfold, the main characters will mercilessly avenge his or her death on them, and this drama will be brought to a successful conclusion.
On a special feature on "The Fugitive Plan B" to be aired on December 9th, at 9:55pm, behind-the-scene stories during the drama shoot and the staffs' stories will be shared.
