Who is Kim Nam-gil, the Korean actor best known for K-dramas Trigger and The Fiery Priest?
Korean heartthrob Kim Nam-gil remained as hot as ever this year, performing double duty on global streaming platform Netflix as the lead of the topical action-drama Trigger and in a cameo role in the dark thriller Karma Advertisement Like many others, Kim made his acting debut in the KBS anthology series School, a programme that has become a training ground for many small-screen stars over the years. He appeared in the very first iteration of the show, back in 1999, when he was still a teenager. Among his co-stars that season were other future bright lights such as Bae Doona , Yum Jung-ah, Jang Hyuk, Yang Dong-geun and Choi Gang-hee. But unlike other School alumni, Kim would not parlay that appearance into a screen career straight away. In fact, it would be five years until he notched another credit.

This period-set tale, starring Cho Seung-woo, was one of the latter works of legendary Korean filmmaker Im Kwon-taek. Why we love him
