In 2001, Kim transitioned to acting, appearing in bit parts in the SBS TV Movie Series and MBC Series Wuri's Family. In the following Year, Kim make his first acting debut in film The Coast Guard, later commenting that the role of a soldier was the only one he could get without any prior experience.

Transition to leading role
His first leading film role was in Jeong Jae-eun's 2005 sophomore feature The Aggressives, for which he and co-star Chun Jung-myung were the co-recipients of the Best New Actor Award at the 6th Busan Film Critics Awards.[4]
In 2007, Kim starred in Park Heung-sik's film The Railroad, which told the story of two strangers who reveal their inner pain to each other when they are stranded at the last railway station before the Korean Demilitarized Zone. Kim was upset when the film was only released in ten theaters, and went to screenings by himself in an effort to promote the film, where he greeted and conversed with members of the audience.[5][6] In spite of its poor box office performance, The Railroad found favour with critics, and Kim won the Best Actor Award at the 25th Torino Film Festival. Although happy to win the award, Kim found it more gratifying to observe Italian audiences responding to the film in the same way as Korean audiences, recognizing the power of film to transcend national borders.[5][7] He also admitted to being anxious because of the increased expectations people would have over his future performances.[3]
Breakthrough
Kim found commercial success with his next film, Le Grand Chef, which despite opening during a slow season sold more than three million tickets to become the fourth biggest selling South Korean film of 2007.[5][8] Based on a popular manhwa, the film focused on the conflict between two rival chefs, played by Kim and Im Won-hee.
