}} Kim Rae-won (born March 19, 1981) is a South Korean actor. He rose to fame in 2003 romantic comedy series ''Rooftop Room Cat'', and is also known for his leading roles in ''My Little Bride'' (2004), ''Love Story in Harvard'' (2004), ''Gourmet'' (2008), ''A Thousand Days' Promise'' (2011) and ''Punch'' (2014-2015) ==Career== Kim Rae-won initially wanted to become a professional basketball player, but when an injured ankle tendon ended that childhood dream, he turned to acting and studied Theater and Film at Chung-Ang University. He made his acting debut in the 1997 teen drama ''Me'', in the role of a newbie at the broadcasting club of his high school. This was followed by another teen drama, ''School 2'' (1999) and coming-of-age film ''Plum Blossom'' (2000). In 2003, Kim became a household name after playing a law student slacker who cohabitates with a girl (Jeong Da-bin) in the popular series ''Rooftop Room Cat''. He then played a carefree photographer who enters the life of an introverted girl in ''...ing'', followed by a return to the romantic comedy genre with ''My Little Bride'', in the role of a college graduate forced to marry a high school girl (Moon Geun-young). ''My Little Bride'' became a sleeper hit and was the second top-grossing Korean film of 2004. Kim continued playing romantic heroes on television, in dramas such as ''Love Story in Harvard'' (2004) and ''Which Star Are You From'' (2006). But on the big screen, he focused on darker, more masculine fare. He played a lowlife-turned-cop in ''Mr. Socrates'' (2005), a former gangster attempting to turn over a new leaf in ''Sunflower'' (2006), and an antihero art restorer in ''Insadong Scandal'' (2009). In 2008, Kim played an elementary school teacher who falls for a Korean-Japanese jewelry designer (Mirai Yamamoto) in the Japanese film . Later that year, he was cast in the leading role as a genius aspiring chef in ''Gourmet'', a hit series based on Huh Young-man's manhwa ''Sikgaek''. Kim then explored the melodrama genre in ''A Thousand Days' Promise'' (2011), by renowned TV screenwriter Kim Soo-hyun. His character is torn between the longtime girlfriend whom his parents approve of, and the woman he truly loves (Soo Ae) who suffers from early-onset Alzheimer's disease. In the 2012 film ''My Little Hero'' (released internationally as ''A Wonderful Moment''), Kim played a cynical music director who "discovers" a young boy in an audition contest. He next starred in 2014 legal thriller ''Punch'', in which he played a prosecutor who is diagnosed with a terminal illness and decides to use his remaining six months to bring down the corrupt officials within the legal system. This was followed by ''Gangnam Blues'', a 2015 film by director Yoo Ha about the seedy underbelly behind the rapid real estate development of Gangnam in the 1970s. Kim shed 15 kilograms to make his role as a fist-fighting gangster more realistic. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kim Rae-won」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
