A Love to Kill


(Source: Wikipedia)

Title: A Love to Kill
Year: 2005
Genre: Romance, Drama
Director: Kyoo-tae-Kim
Synopsis by Wikipedia:

In A Love to Kill, Bi/Rain/Jeong Ji-Hoon plays a tough guy as the role of a K-1 Fighter, Kang Bok-gu. Bok-gu is a character who is dynamic in nature and grew up in a foster home. He falls in love with a woman whom he should not love. It was because of the woman, his emotionally-wounded brother fell off from the rooftop and became a human vegetable. So, his love is forbidden and inevitably tragic.

The woman is Cha Eun-seok (Shin Mina) who is a TV talent and movie actor. It was not that she jilted his brother on purpose, but upon a basis of misunderstanding, his hatred toward Cha Eun-soek grows more and more burning.

By becoming Cha Eun-seok’s private bodyguard, Bok-gu keeps concretely practicing his revenge upon her. He only desires ‘to bring his brother’s woman to her knees.’ He is gradually taking Cha Eun-seok to destruction, while he feels his love toward her growing deeper and deeper in his heart.

Bok-gu is a cold guy character without any special concern for woman. Martial art of hand-to-hand fighting was just kind of his escape he choose from the shock of a spinster’s death whom he loved from a distance.

What I think:

In Korean Dramas, there's always the love triangle scene, melodramatic, the frustrating scene, and the part where there's always a 3rd party that will acts as the bi*** or the a***** and this is no different. However, what's interesting about this one is as u go thru each of the episodes the storyline become even more interesting. Even though, u'll know how the ending goes, u'll want to watch how the couples endure each troubles and faces turbulences along the way. It's of course, definitely a tear jerker that will touches hearts of every women. Duh! Haha. YEaps. This drama starred by Rain, and Shin-Min-a, both whom have delivered and expresses their character well. The part which I hated the most is when the things are actually easy but they make it sooo complicated that they dragged the story even longer, makes u really frustrated not with the story or actor and actress but with the movie as a whole. However, I'm rating it 3 out of 5. I believe that women especially, wouldnt want to miss this one.


Couldnt find the trailer, hope this'll do ;)
