Yuko Takeuchi's Classic: Be With You

Debuting in 1996, Yuko Takeuchi reached the pinnacle of her acting career between 2003 and 2005. Besides 'Yomigaeri' (Yellow Tears) which was just introduced, the 2004 film 'Be With You' (also known as 'Love Letter in the Rain') was immensely popular that year. Notably, she married Nakamura Shido, who played the male lead, the following year, leading to more imagination about the pure love story in the film. It sparked a 'pure love movie trend' at the time and can be considered Yuko Takeuchi's representative film work. This work was so popular that it even reached Korea, with a 2018 remake starring So Ji-sub and Son Ye-jin titled 'Be With You', paying tribute to this Japanese pure love classic.
