we'll miss you Kim Rae Won :(

I will miss KRW..

I will miss KRW...

Everytime one of these cuties leave for MS, it seems like a huge void. Even though 2 years seems like a long time, I agree with jinkzz that it passes faster than we expect i.e. in the case of Goong Yoo. Still, it's never a happy moment to say good-bye to them.

I will not be alone in missing KRW obviously.... me and my best buddies are all his fans!!..ahh..hope he will come back even much a stronger actor later (now he is already a talented one anyway..)

bye bye to him...
kind of like him........
like him in gourmet,my love pattizi.........

ill miss this guy and his acting Kim Rae-won is such a wonderful actor and he
really does grow on you

good luck Rae won ssi and Gid bless You

I'll miss KRW so much. I guess I'll have to watch his dramas and movies again.

I just read that after 4 wks basic training he's been assigned to Namsan Public Library as a Public service worker. I'm thinking the Library will see a few more visitors in the future!

I've loved him through every drama he's starred in. Attic Cat, What Star Are You From, Love Story in Harvard, Gourmet, etc... I didn't know of his army departure until just now. How sad :( SERVE KOREA WELL KRW! I KNOW YOU WILL :D

I think it's cute that all the women who showed for his entering his service years are all ajummas! lol. LOL. it makes me feel like I'm looking at the korean version of the Josh Groban Fanclub.

I don't see why though- Kim Rae Won has broad spectrum appeal! you're totally right about his transparency and warmth as an actor. Maybe its the direct contrast to his award winning smile- but i've always felt that Kim Rae Won's crying scenes were the most heart breaking scenes ever! Its like watching a little kid cry.

Anyway- bye Kim Rae Won. hopefully we'll SEE YOU SOON!

OMO~~
Gonna miss you oppah rae
saranghe...
You are my one and only one in my hear,,,

i miss you for two years

Thank you Alyssia.

I appreciate your answering my post. I've seen most of KRW's movies and most recent dramas. I appreciate a good movie with a good plot. I've never felt that sex scenes were absolutely necessary in a lot of 'romantic'movies to attract viewers..

@66
definately sex screens were not necessary but i guess it's something different for an artiste to be participate in. u won't want to see KRW being the same nice, romantic, lovely, etc guy in all his dramas/movies(i.e. love story in harward, which star r u from & many more), do u? sooner or later, u'll get bored of him seeing all the same for so many yrs. it's good to see KRW with different characters, isn't it? such as insadong scandal being the latest.

My day is not complete with out watching any of his film..(particularly-Which Star Are You From?)We hate to see him go but still im happy that he is willing to serve his country giving up his acting career for 2 yrs is really a sacrifice.Two thumbs up for you KRW! We will miss you...take care and remember that you are always included in my prayers.....Ms.Cyna from the hilippines

Sorry to ask, but i have something very curious in my mind. I watched KBS world last week and I heard that Kim Rae Won is entering the military service for 2 years. But, does any one know the reason why he is entering the military only at the age of 28?? Im not being offensive here. Im just asking if people can clear my suspense. If no one knows or sometimes its natural, its fine too. I just thought that there might be some reason to it and maybe some fans can answer my question?

really really no offense here.

take care kim rae-won!!!
i really like him as an actor...

ดูแลตัวเองดีๆนะคะ Take care! ^ ^

He definitely grows on a viewer. Love that crew cut however. Love it. It suits him since he's not as "pretty" as other Korean stars. I don't mind pretty, but I like his slight roughness. I fell in love with him in Say That You Love Me.

Isn't he a bit old to do military service? What is the age limit in Korea? And do women have to serve?

Yes. The more you watch his drama and movies, the more you will like him. KRW has tried many different roles, testing his acting skills from funny roles to crying characters. He proves himself as not just a good-looking star, but rather a very hardworking actor contributing lots of energy and emotions in each role. Perhaps his smile is so lovable, when he takes on crying roles, I feel bad. His recent movie, namely Insadong Scandal, gives him a chance to act a mature, metrosexual and charismatic man. I love this movie as well as his other drama. He looks so different from his past work in Insadong Scandal, though the movie plot is far from excellent. Anyway, KRW is the Korean star making me hooked up with K-Dramas. I don't know how long I will keep up my passion with KDramas, but so long as KRW still acts, I will still watch his work.

Aw man. I only just discovered Kim Rae-Won, and now I find out he will be gone for two years!

KRW...i missed him already... i love him in Attic Cat, Love Story in Harvard, Which Star Are You From and Gourmet...for me..he's one of the BEST GOOD LOOKING GUY AND BEST ACTOR IN KOREA. : )

Hi raewon I like you movies and dramas. you are very very handsome .

من عاشق اقای کیم رائه وون هستم و سریال تو از کدوم ستاره ای بهترین اثر اوست

Awww....recently discovered Korean drama ...came across this obviously talented, charming dude with the infectious smile....only to find out he's gone off 2 the military. The buzz cut works 4 him...btw. Attic Cat was my introduction to KRW but it won't end there. That boy's got me hook, line & sinker and l'll keep watching until l've seen everything. He should b back by then and l'll b waiting for new dramas, movies, etc. YAY!!!! Can't wait!!! :) much luv

KRW was the reason i started watching korean movies and dramas. one of ur big fans dude and wish u winning cannes best actor in future.

peranya bagus sekali apalagi waktu film love story in harfard....

SHOULDN'T HE BE OUT OF THE MILITARY THIS AUGUST...

ah.... time flies so fast. it's august next month! is kim rae won coming back?

KIM RAE WON is finally BACK after 2 years...how time flies...

Love to see him again with Ryeo Won Jung either in a modern or historical drama.
