Plot

K-1 Fighter Kang Bok-Gu (Rain) is a man 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 Min-A) who is a TV talent and movie actress. It was not that she jilted his brother on purpose, but upon a basis of misunderstanding, his hatred toward Cha Eun-Seok 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.

Bee Jun 11 2023 9:04 pm I cannot find this mini series anywhere for under $150-3,000 USD! I watched this on cable when it released. Once, I found a copy in A Japanese shop here in the USA. It was accidentally broken and I want to watch it again so terribly that my family tells me to stop talking about the mini series. ? Fantastic if you can find it.

Mari Apr 29 2023 5:06 am I finished watching this GEM for the first time (28th April 2023). And I'm 17 years late....! I was taking pause when I was watching this drama....so intense...so hopeless their Love. Why must we always do what society expects of us? Wasn't it better to follow their heart without caring about the opinion of others? A bittersweet ending. What they couldn't do on earth, they did in the hereafter! Being together again where they can love each other again without having to apologize for their love

taydiamond Nov 29 2022 1:05 pm Great one!!! I've watched so many of Rain's dramas more than once. But, A Love to Kill, I could not bring myself to watch it again. It draws you into his character to the point that you want him to win just this once. This one broke my heart!

Lily C Apr 27 2022 1:03 am damn... i remember this being shown on PH national TV

RMo Mar 11 2022 11:03 am Although I enjoyed the entire film very much and got carried away by the script and the performance of the main actors, however I was also dumbfounded by the film's tragic finale. I felt really sad :-(

Red Oct 21 2021 7:28 pm It's a great drama....we just wished a happy ending... Why did the writer kill the male lead...

May Oct 09 2021 10:10 pm One of the few movies that made me really cry to the max. Three men who truly love her in so many complicated ways. I believe this is worth watching. It all started with Mingu not fighting for the love of his life. But if he did, it's totally a different story. Just the tragic ending could have been avoided

Elle Oct 01 2021 2:02 pm This one killed me...one of my favourite melodramas ever... I hope we see a Rain and Shin Min-a and Lee Kyoung hee collab in future again soon

Confuse Sep 03 2021 3:29 pm This drama run so slow. Every scene was so slow. I just continued till end episode just to know the end of this drama. I dont understand what happened with them. Do they continue their relationship or do they die? Because bokhu's hand fall to the ground. I really didnt get the ending. I also didn't get anything feeling when bkhu said he likes eun shok from the first sight. I think rain missed this act. Used to be the actors can expressed it from their eyes. Sometime I cant feel bokhu's feeling toward eun shok. But i can feel his anger and sad and how he has miserable lufe when he was a kid.

Shpulka Apr 26 2021 1:16 am One of the best kdramas I ever seen. Every second, movement was overloaded with feelings and emotions! First serie seems like alternative type of movie, it was hard to catch the sequence, but even though it was catchy start of full story I went through with the best actors!! After "full house" I didint expected much from Rain but here he was that one whom I believed from the start till the end! Seems actors were not acting but just living in their roles. The best I have seen waching over thousands of kdramas!

Tas Oct 26 2020 3:18 pm I came here to read a comment like that from Binero. I'm not continuing to watch it, it's just terrible from start to finish. I feel ni empathy for the main leads, yet I feel something for all the side characters. Honestly, their drama world is a better place without the main 2 leads. Also there's nothing loveable about cha eun seok, so what did he fall for? Da jung and even the fiance deserves so much better.

HealingForMyself Jun 13 2020 6:06 am 8 years later and I still can't get over this drama! I love it so much! This was one of the first k-dramas I ever watched and one of the only k-dramas I've re-watched because that's how crazy good their acting is! It hurt so much and made me cry so much! The OSTs are also so good and really memorable. I've been fighting the urge to rewatch it a third time otherwise I'll never get through the list of dramas I'm still yet to watch but I think I will just cave in and watch. Can't get enough of their chemistry!

Binero Feb 19 2018 2:43 pm I‘m in episode 9 and it’s sometimes still confusing. The script writing is messy itself but what kinda ruins it is the cutting and directing. And the camera angles are also really weird. At one point the girl suddenly looks as if she is being abandoned with flashbacks to some entirely unrelated scene and in the next scene Eun seok and Bokgu are smiling together and having fun. So weird. The relationship between Bokgu and his pity girlfriend is also so weird. On the one hand he is supposed to be the (debatable) nice guy who wants to marry her because he ows her or something. And on the other hand he dandles around with his brother‘s ex. Even though he fakes it. Probably. Who knows! He has the facial expressions of a lobster most of the time and suddenly he is all goofy. The plot tells me that it‘s fake but then he never shows if he means to make her fall in love with him or if he really feels something for her (which is also written in the plot outline). There never really was a time where I got the feeling that he actually did fall in love with her. So I don’t get why he treats his pity girlfriend like crap. And then the scene in which he asked Mingu if he was doing the right thing... what do you mean? Making her fall in love with you so you can hurt her? Wanting to kill her? Starting a relationship with her? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOUR INTENTIONS? I just don’t get it. And Cha Eun Seok.. why do girls in dramas need to be so damn helpless and sissy all the time? She always needs to be helped with everything. She hits a boxing bag, it repells and hits her and what happens? She nearly fainted and lay on the floor until Bokgu looked after her. Or in the first few episodes. She left the hotel for a night walk and everyone starts a search party to bring her back. And I hate the parents plot. But that’s kind of standard of korean drama so I shouldn’t go there.

Kimmy Jan 31 2018 6:09 am Honestly this requires a strong hearted person to watch.its so emotional.but i loved it.a beautiful lovestory to two people for whom love was everything.i just wish they atleast had more time together happily.i wont forget this drama

narges Sep 30 2017 2:25 pm it is one of the best KD that i have seen ever . 10/10.sooooooooo beautiful and expressive . i love both of main characters , even supporting characters . i have seen it more than 10 times . i recommend it to everyone . a drama full of tears , laugh , heartstrings .and ..........

Gizibe Apr 01 2017 3:13 pm If you are not only into cute drama... you really really need to watch this.... it will torture your soul, but despite all you might read below.... is a happy ending...... that will make you cry a river. I loved this drama.... every second of it

Aya Jun 16 2016 6:17 am I have always put this drama in the top 5 of the best dramas I've ever watched. I admit I've watched it a long time ago but I doesn't really matter. I came to see the comments on this page and I'm actually surprise about them. The moment a drama doesn't portrait someone compassionate but who does actual hurtful things the drama doesn't become worthy of watching ? It's the actual opposite to me, I enjoyed this drama because I felt like it depicted the agony of someone initialy unstable that had his miserable life made even more pitiful. Kang Bokgu's character is like trapped in the past, only his body has grown up and I even found him childish and innocent at times. That's why unlike in common romantic drama he sticks to his plan of revenge even though he begins to have feelings for her. When he brutalizes Cha Eun Seok he's punishing himself for having those feelings despite hating her for being responsible for his brother's accident. I'll always have a good memory of this drama and I wish more unique ones would be produced like this one.

adelini Feb 21 2016 12:48 pm why his love is forbidden?

MitchG Jan 05 2016 12:49 am I hung in there for the first 2 episodes and then bailed out. While I liked Shin Min-A's character, Rain's character was shallow to the point of just not being at all interesting.

I'm not saying that Rain wasn't doing a good job of acting... I'm saying that the story's lead character was just not interesting to me.

What the heck... I gave it a shot. But, I'm not going to risk wasting another 14 hours.

sunny Oct 21 2015 3:53 am yeppppppp hate ! hate! this drama

Rot May 01 2015 6:48 am 35 mins into ep 1.. and i already hate it.. the characters are trash and the camera work is really one of the worst i have ever seen.

dont waste your time on it

reacheal Apr 27 2015 4:52 pm What was the song that kang Bok gu and his brother sang when they were young in this drama . Please if u know pls tell me☺

Lee Dec 16 2014 3:23 pm I liked it up to about episode 10.

Then BokGu acts like a jerk toward Cha Eun Seok in episodes 10-15. Not only a jerk, but machismo jerk who seems to have the emotional maturity of a 10 year old kid. At which point, it seemed to me that she was better off without him.

I no longer liked or sympathized with the guy, which is a big negative since he's the main lead.

Also, one significant point, for me, was that when he realized that he had been badly mistaken about Cha Eun Seok, he apologizes to her while she's sleeping. Now, to me, that's not an apology. I thought he would apologize again later when she was awake, but he never did.

I realize this was fiction, but my advise to the Bok Gu character is attend some anger management classes and grow up (as a human being).

In sum, a very uneven drama that hits some fairly sour notes.

lovekd Nov 27 2014 12:54 pm This drama had the worst cameraman and director. The "emotional" scenes didn't capture any emotion because of the camera angles, it looks like it was done by 5 year-old kid. Please don't waste your time watching this drama.

At some moments the plot and the way the characters behaved seemed cheesy.*

Imelda Valle Nov 04 2014 7:38 am It's the best Korean drama I ever watched. Rain acting at Full House is so light and I loved it but for this it's heavy and best acting for Rain.. great acting also for Rang and Min-Ah.

I am following the My Lovable Girl... a very nice drama too.

lovedrama Jan 16 2014 7:47 pm I was very desapointed of this drama even though i watched it till the end as i always do i had to miss some scene since it really got too boring i have never seen a drama so drepressing as this during all the drama rain doesn't show any emotion he is like a robot (though he cry sometime and do fake smile) but i'm a great fan of shin min a acting and i think her caracter saved this drama if you want a describtion of this drama it is shin min a suffer.... if it had been a masterpiece i could have get along with this emotionless depressing athmosphere but it is not MY ADVISE DO NOT WATCH THIS DRAMA

narges Apr 14 2013 7:09 am i haved watched this drama several times . it is one of the lovlier and sadnesser korean drama. i love rain & shin min ah. i suggest to every one to watch it.

John Mar 22 2013 12:40 pm Sorry, but I can't endorse this drama. Although Shin Min-A's character is very sympathetic and her acting is top notch as usual the character played by Rain has no redeeming qualities and in the end I was hoping he'd get hit by a truck before he could do more damage to everyone -- everyone -- around him. He is so self absorbed and negative while occasionally he does the right thing in the end he is just a very self absorbed and self centered jerk (as he calls himself) who ruins the lives of a large number of people (if you think about it it includes, friends, family, lover, acquaintances, and he even lets his brother down)... pretty disappointing and a total waste of time... I did not feel sorry for Rain's character at all... I just wanted someone to shoot him or run him over with a "big" truck.

TAMARAXXE Mar 19 2013 6:12 am A work of art and one of the most brilliant and lovely dramas I have ever seen. I have watched it several times and will watch it many more. Rain is the hottest man alive.

Tori Oct 02 2012 11:14 am WHAT DA BUCK MAN!?!?! That ending was wack!!! What the...? I mean....seriously??? SERIOUSLY?!?! I can't...I just can't love this drama. (-_-)
