I have just started watching this latest Korean Drama starring my favourite actress Chae Rim on Starhub Channel 173 KBS World. The drama is currently broadcasting in Korea from April to Jun 2008. The second episode was so funny and it is definitely a must watch drama for Korean Drama and Chae Rim fans!
Chae Rim stars as Cha Young Jin, who is the first female to ever work as a bodyguard in the Presidential resident, Chungwadae. The role of a bodyguard is a refreshing change for Chae Rim since her last role in Dalja's Spring as a woman who was undecisive in love. With the Blue House (Korean presidential residence) set as the drama's background, Formidable Rivals revolves around the lives of presidential bodyguards and offers a fascinating rare look into the inner workings of presidential affairs.
Young Jin and Ryu Gwan Pil (Lee Jong Hyuk) work as bodyguards assigned to watch over the president’s son, Kang Soo Ho (Lee Jin Wook). They are assigned to guard Soo Ho for 15 months. It turns out that there was some sort of deep connection between Gwan Pil and the President's family. Some things bad happened in the past which led to Gwan Pil leaving suddenly 8 years ago.

Happen to find my way to your blog by chance. I love Korean dramas..currently following "Formidable Rivals" fervently...hehhe...and I'm a huge My Melody fan...love your blog! =)
I finish watching the chapter "trust or not" (5 I guess)
I really love this K-drama and its ver interesting.
I love Chae Rim...she is so cute ^^
Thanks for all the comments :> I'm only at episode 10, long way to go. Was distracted by another interesting drama , "On Air". Now gonna concentrate on watching Chae Rim's drama. I'm hoping that she would be with Gwanpil as he is so cool and they look quite cute together.
Finish watching father, is father episode...so nice...when Chae Rim appears with the black dress...so beautiful ^^
What I dont like is to wait a entire week to follow the drama xD
Lady Jan: does it get interesting in the next 4 chapters?
Yes, i hope she stays with GwanPil :)
BTW, nice Blog
Dear PSVJinzo,
thanks for your comments. Keep watching the drama, guaranteed you would not be disappointed, would get more interesting :> My favourite is episode 15 where Gwanpil finally shows that he does like Young Jin....stay tuned!
what happens at the end
who does chae young jin pair up with
its confusing
Hi,
i came across this blog (http://hanfever.wordpress.com/2008/06/04/powerful-opponents-does-it-have-a-powerful-ending/) that gives a very detailed summary about the ending and also the blogger's view of who Youngjin ended with. You may wish to take alook. I personally feel that the open ending would enable me to imagine my own preferred ending (which is of course Youngjin ending up with Gwanpil :->)
