A Love to Kill (2005) A Complete summary (SPOILERS)

I just finished watching A Love to Kill starring Rain and Shin Min Ah and all I can say is  AISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A drama about revenge and love. Actress, Cha Eun Seok (Shin Min Ah) is distraught after breaking up from her boyfriend. CEO Kim Joon Sung (Lee Ki Woo) and Cha Eun Seok find themselves in a bad disposition due to Eun Seok's drinking. Meanwhile fighter Kang Bokgu (Rain) and his "girlfriend" Han Da Jeong (Kim Sang Ra)  was bullying people into paying money owed to her. The link to each other was Kang Mingu (Kim Young-jae). Kang Mingu was Kang Bokgu's brother, and Cha Eun Seok's ex-boyfriend. They all meet when just after Bokgu and Mingu are reunited, whether it's an accident on the brother's part or purposely Mingu jumps from the roof of the build in which he lives after seeing the announcement of Eun Seok and Joon Sung's engagement (which was Kim Joon Sung's idea of fixing the situation they were in because of her drunkardness). Bokgu blames Eun Seok and develops his plan to destroy her, so when a job comes up to become Cha Eun Seok's bodyguard he gets it in order to become close to her. Eun Seok ends up falling in love with Bokgu and he falls in love with her as well. Which makes Kim Joon Sung pull all kinds of stunts that only rich people can pull (send people to lock up the mom, sue the family, etc). It's when Eun Seok decides to run away with Bokgu who then says it was all a game and he never really loved her. Its revealed that Mingu is Bokgu's

brother. From there things just get kind of jumbled as they have to close the storyline. At this point I feel like they dragged the story along. And I have forgotten to mention the fact the Da Jeong was JEALOUS as hell because of he insecurities with herself. BACKSTORY Da Jeong saved Bokgu after a fight and a fire set out. She was burned in the process and as we know in South Korea, looks are a big deal blemishes are not cool! This was basically the reason Bokgu was with her as he pitied her as they say numerous times during the drama. When she found out the Bokgu was Eun Seok's bodyguard she was so jealous. Bokgu assures her its for a reason and he would be back to her soon. This is when he breaks Eun Heart, and send Eun Seok down spiraling into craziness. Bokgu also begins to spiral. In an effort to get her out of his life (as he was in love but didn't want to be) he "moved" his brother (he had him moved to another room) and made it so that Eun Seok couldn't see Mingu. What was sad was that she felt bad about Mingu because she had loved him and made promises to him, but was also in love with Bokgu. A Year passes, of course as fate would have it Bokgu and Eun Seok meet again. He lies and says the brother died, but of course come to find out the brother is with him alive but disabled. Eun Seok takes Mingu and begins carrying for him, but then he starts doing things like slapping tea out of her hands and other things that cause her alot of physical pain. Come to find out what he wants is for Bokgu and Eun Seok to be together he expesses this when he is hospitalized again. His last wish
for Bokgu was for him to take care of Eun Seok. He dies and then things REALLY spiral out of control for Bokgu and Eun Seok. He stops eating, picks a fight with anyone for any little thing and drinks heavily. Eun Seok eats and eats and eats until she's on the verge of vomiting. This is when Da Jeong sees that Bokgu isn't hers and that Eun Seok can help AND Kim Joon Sung sees that Eun Seok isn't his and Bokgu can help her. Bokgu and Eun Seok conclude that they can't really be together but decide to spend a day together doing whatever they want all day. They promised to live life to the fullest. After that day they did just that and lived. Everything seemed cool until Kim Joon Sung went to see Bokgu saying that he had hoped to find Eun Seok with him and that she had been missing for 3 days. Bokgu goes looking for her where they had spent their day together. BTW this is going on during the winter. After looking as its going into the night he finally finds her asleep on the ground. She is freezing and has basically lost most of her body heat. He tries to carry her, but has lost most of his energy and sits to hold her hoping his body heat will warm her only he freezes too... they freeze together in each others arms.

THE END!

The reason I summarized it this way is because this drama had me going crazy. I love happy ending and that is what I was waiting for. I wanted Bokgu and Eun Seok to be together. I never expected them to die in the end, which was the only time I shed a tear. The drama made me furious as fas as the storyline goes, only because I am always hoping for a happy ending. I had NEVER seen Lee Ki Woo as such a character. I mean he was the second male lead. I saw him as the second male lead in Flowerboy Ramen Shop, but he wasn't despicable. Rain was amazing. He's looks rather gruffy throughout BUT he is so sexy.

His mannerism. He would bite his bottom lip and let it bounce back out and there was one kiss with Shin Min Ah that I sweat I FELT! LOL!!! Shin Min Ah, she is also incredible. I enjoy the acting of all the actors and actresses BUT the ending upset me so much I almost wanted to give K-Drama's up. Unfortunately I am addicted and I'll just watch a romance comedy next time.
