I was mistakenly lured into this as if it were a love story, and that's completely wrong. "City Hunter" is a good action drama about revenge, the fighting sequences were good and Lee Min Ho was a great fit for the lead character.

I felt like this drama could have ended sooner. After episode 12 or 13, it seemed like the political plot that fueled the story was becoming too slow, and I started to lose interest. I had a hard time not skipping scenes of some of the secondary characters out of boredom.

Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young had great chemistry. I liked that there was never a love triangle or any sort of confusion as to who liked who in this story - Yoon Sung was attracted to Na Na before they even met and, once they did, he devoted a lot of time into keeping her safe. However, this drama isn't one for people that seek romance. There are characters that are in love, but there aren't any relationships. The bantering between the two leads is very enjoyable in the first half of the show, and then it is completely replaced by angst, which changed the way I viewed both characters for the worse.

The soundtrack of this show is good. There was one song that annoyed me a little, which usually played in Na Na's scenes with Yoon Sun, but their two love tracks were beautiful ("Sarang" by Yim Jae Beom and "Suddenly" by Kim Bo Kyung).
