Kim Sae-ron

[Night457]

This is a thread devoted to Korean actress Kim Sae-ron. I will provide a brief list of her films, TV shows and videos, with as many links to content as I have available. Other fans are invited to contribute pics, clips, interviews or anything else they come across.

I will start with links to all her films up through her teenage years. Further posts in the coming days will cover her TV work. As of July 31, 2021 she is 21 years and well past her FLM years. Thank you Sae-ron for your wonderful childhood roles!

NOT really FLM material. Kim Sae-ron is now 18 years old here, and there are only brief bit parts for any actresses who might be younger. [See next post for links anyway.]

[Night457]

These are NOT FLM RELeases. They are links for the curious. See previous post.

The Great Actor (2016) Original title: Daebaewoo

A breakthrough opportunity comes when internationally - renowned director Park announces an open call for his new film, and Jang begins intense preparation for the role of his life.

This black comedy about a not particularly good actor struggling in unappreciated stage roles reminds me of The King of Comedy (1982). There are multiple parodies of movies that character actor Oh Dal-su has been in, as well as a satirical portrayal of a director he has worked for multiple times -- and may not work for again! The children's roles are limited, although ultimately important is the character of his 9-year-old son. Kim Sae-ron makes only a brief guest appearance.

The Villagers (2018) Original title: Dongnesaramdeul
AKA Ordinary People AKA The Neighbors

Gi Cheol begins work as a contract gym teacher at a high school in a quiet countryside village. He feels weird because a female high school student went missing, but nobody in the village seems to care. Only Yoo Jin, who is the missing girl's friend, is sure that her friend has been kidnapped. Yoo Jin and GiCheol work together to find the missing girl, but Gi Cheol learns that traces of the missing girl are disappearing.

Ma Dong-seok (aka Don Lee) once again appears with Kim Sae-ron in a movie sometimes called 'The Neighbors', although different than their 2012 outing. He is absolutely adorable as a burly ex-boxer constantly bullied by everyone around him. He only throws punches when he has to. Sae-ron is 18 here, playing a high school senior in the female lead role, so she has plenty of screen time. She is even now at 21 still playing high school students, but nevertheless this does not qualify as an FLM film.

TV DRAMAS

Main roles are indicated.
Some TV shows she has guest roles and only appears in a few episodes.
Episodes are indicated if known.
(Those are best watched only if they look interesting without her. Seriously.
A sensible person would sample a few episodes before going all out on the whole series.)
Many of these are trashy junk soap operas! They are very addictive and entertaining, if also stupid and unbelievable. (Just like American soap operas.) Some of these series I collected on expensive bootleg burned DVD sets on eBay before I discovered I could download them. Duh.

These sites are the best sources for links to cast and descriptions for the series:
https://mydramalist.com/people/822-kim-sae-ron

Video streaming links are to English-subtitled episodes unless otherwise indicated.
dramacool, dramanice, and kissasia have multiple domains.
(For example, I have seen kissasian .ac .cc .nz .sh .si !)
Some of them disappear, and some do not work with VPNs.
The other domains can be found with Google search if one domain does not work.

Specials and TV Shows to come later ... and in later posts I will recommend which are the very best series, well worth watching. I have sifted through all the garbage, so to speak, and found some real gems.

[Nasuada]

I find the thread quite exciting right now, because I already saw the movie "A brand new life" here a few days ago (when I was looking for Korean movies) and remembered that I had seen this movie in 2009 at my favorite festival. Now I find this very thread here and stumble upon this film again. Unfortunately I don't remember if the actress was there at the festival and since it was only my second festival visit in a row, I wasn't as professional at autograph hunting as I am today. Just got out the movie ticket from back then and there is unfortunately no signature on it... Too bad.
Interesting that it was her first film that I saw there. I still remember the story very well and I have learned over time that films from the Asian region can be very depressing / profound, but also very unversändlich for me, what I owe the other life culture that I still can not fully understand (but would like). But there are also other films such as from the director Yoon Ga-eun (The world of us), which I like very much.

[Night457]

Here are the Specials and (Reality) TV Shows, where Kim Sae-ron mostly only appears in a few episodes. Each entry indicates Main Role, Cameo or Guest. Each also says whether the episodes are English subtitled or NOT subtitled.

This is where the casual Kim Sae-ron fans are separated from the obsessives. (Guess which I am!)

2005 Show! Music Core [2015-2017 Main Host] ONGOING LIVE MUSIC SHOW.
English subtitled for the hosts (not the singing) on most 2015-to-present episodes.
I have not downloaded or watched any episodes, so I don't know exactly what episodes she hosted.
https://dramacool.bid/drama-detail/show-music-core Page includes showdates.
https://dramanice.cx/drama/show-music-core-detail Page does NOT include showdates.
Unsubtitled clips can be found on YouTube with Korean or English searches:
쇼! 음악중심 김새론
show! Music Core Kim Sae-ron


I have downloaded all the Reality TV Shows except for "Show! Music Core", but I have only 'watched' the unsubtitled "City Fishers" episodes. It is noisy with lots of whooping and hollering, and is good for having on in the background while I am working on my computer. If I actually watched it I would probably be bored.

One of Kim Sae-ron's best TV series here:

[REL] Cheonsangui hwawon AKA Heaven's Garden (TV 2011-2012) [South Korea]

If you are not too hardened and bitterly cynical, you might like it. Check it out!

What an awesome thread, thanks for sharing!

[Night457]

In another thread, petra posted this:

Seeing that Kim Sae Ron is popular among some members you may be interested in this

https://channel-korea.com/kim-sae-rons-transformation/

Thank you petra, I liked checking that out!

One quote I found hilarious in context:

In March 2019, Kim Sae-ron enjoyed her time off to vacation in Hawaii. She looks like she had a lot of fun during this trip. With her long hair and white dress, Kim Sae-ron looked beautiful.

At that point she was 18 going on 19, too old for FLM. Still, my Adblocker was blocking the pictures and I wondered about older Sae-ron on a Hawaiian beach. The real point of the article is the pictures, I think ....

Yay! I am finally an FLM granny!




Ah well, I loved your childhood films Sae-ron.

[petra]

All you fans of this lovely actress. Some disappointing news. kind of.

Kim Sae Ron is under police investigation for driving under the influence of alcohol.

On May 18th, a representative from Gangnam Police Station shared that they received over six phone calls about a vehicle swerving all over the road. They also received a call from a citizen who was also passing by the scene and reported the happenings.

Read it here

Another article on the same page.
Kim Sae Ron admitted to the drunk driving incident a day after it happened.
