A Love To Kill
A Love To Kill 
Cast:
Jeong Ji Hoon
Shin Min Ah
Kim Yeong Jae
Kim Sa Rang
Lee Ki Woo
If in Full House, Rain is a celebrity, here he tries to kill a celebrity. Well, figuratively kill. The emphasis of this drama is on brotherly love. A lot of Korean movies are good at this: Taekgukgi, My Brother to name a few. The drama didn’t fall short of a good story line about the two brothers: Kang Min Gu (Kim Yeong Jae) and Kang Bo Gu (Bi). They don’t have other family aside from themselves. Their father used violence in them so when he passed away, Bo Gu continued it. His violence stemmed from the violence that his father suppressed in him. The older son, Min Gu is the good guy and mediator type who always lectures Bo Gu about abandoning his violent ways. The younger brother could not agree and decided to be separated from his Hyeong (older brother). They didn’t see each other from then on. But after 10 years, they had a chance to get close to one another again.
Bi and Shin Min Ah
On the night that they were celebrating their brotherhood, Min Gu unconsciously jumped off the building after knowing that his ex-girlfriend, Cha Eun-Suk, an actress (Shin Min Ah) will be married off to a big time honcho from a global business group. He did not die yet but he lingered in the hospital for major treatment.
Revenge is plotted when Bo Gu grabbed the opportunity to be the bodyguard of the famous actress. He planned to get close to her, made her fall in love with him because he re-used his brother’s romantic memories and crazy antics. His plotted love for her destroyed everything she had (wealth, fame, friends and even sanity). His supposed to be brother’s love has turned into a monstrous love. A love that he has to kill. He is now torn between avenging for his brother’s accident or his unconscious love for the sweet and innocent girl. As the story unfolds, he realized that he is the one to be killed and punished because of his anger and malicious plans. He realized that true love existed and continues to exist between Eun Suk and Min Gu.
I know, I know the story is new but not that interesting. It is still about revenge, forbidden love and the character of a celebrity. But I like the characterization of Rain this time. He plays a serious guy. Gone are the playful, childish and chuckling days of Sang Doo or Young Jae. Gone are his Three Bear singing and dancing moments. He has matured in the story as an actor. For instance, he showed sleekness every time he saves and protects Eun Suk from getting harm. He has a different approach with the romantic scenes (especially kissing scenes) with Min Ah.
And one more thing I liked about the drama is the fluidity of their gestures and expressions. They act as if they are gliding and sashaying their way in a ballroom. Their pose and performance is like a 16-hour dance. I like the soundtrack that features Rain’s Sad Tango and the musical scoring for the sequence and scenes. Overall, I like the poignancy. Although there may have been some dragging sad moments and crappy romantic lines, the music, the characters’ muted dispositions summed up into my favorite word for this drama: poignant.
Oh and didn’t I say my friends keep telling me that I resemble with Eun Suk in the drama? I was actually taken aback and a little saddened for I was expecting them to tell me that I look like Bi.
