This drama is insane! All the characters have problems. Some have psychological problems as well! LOL. But seriously this is a dark drama. Sometimes there were times where I wanted to drop this because I got so frustrated with the characters. Even so, I kept watching because the story kept me interested. I still get chills thinking about Katsumi. He is one sick dude! Overall though I feel this drama is important and everyone should watch. I sure learned a lot=)

I really enjoyed the story. Some parts were funny, some were breath holding thrilling and some very wet from all the crying. Even tough there isnt much to criticize about the story I feel they could have done more. Sometimes I felt the story was dragging a bit and the pace was slower as considered good. And of course I would have loved to see one more kiss of the leads just for a dramalovers sake. ^.^ As for the acting, I loved it very much. Everyone was really good except (It really pains me to admit it) Lee Min Ho. His looks are undeniably and unforgettable over the top. But I felt thats all I got from him. A pretty boy. During all 20 episodes I tried very hard to see past Lee Min Hoo' Face and see the man who grew up as a drug lords son somewhere in the jungle and who now wants to take revenge as the city hunter. But I couldn't. not really. I'm a LMH- Lover, dont get me wrong but the more dramas I see of him the more disappointed I am because in every drama he plays the exact same role. (himself?) "His" role may be perfect for PersonalTaste but as for the city hunter he didn't convince me at all. As for Kim Na Na, she did a perfect job. Well, except maybe in the last 10 minutes sitting around weirdly but that's maybe just me. As for the music, it wasn't bad or anything just nothing that stuck with me... In general I am really glad I watched this drama so my advice for you: Go and watch it! ^.^

The drama is a good twist on the revenge story. Before watching this I have seen several of other dramas featuring Lee Min Ho, and have not held any particular like or dislike for the dramas. But in this drama, he really out did himself and created a very likable character. The cast was very good and everyone did a great job in creating the mood of the overall story line. Although it is a good drama to watch, which I would highly recommend, rewatching it would probably not be as good as the first. This drama is very good for the suspense of the plot as well as the action, but once already seen, the suspense would probably not be there anymore.

Are you looking for a drama that well make you cry like a baby, smile like and idiot and keep you on the edge.

HERE IS YOUR DRAMA!

This has got to be one of my favourite dramas that I have seen. Started from EPISODE 1 it GRABBED your attention and got you hooked & emotional attached.

Yoo Sung (Lee Min Ho) and Nana (Park Min Young) are the cutest thing alive. They are AH-MAZING actors and actress. Ahh~ they really need to date in real life.

All the characters have their on lil charm that well make you love em'. But others well get on your nerves and make you want to jump into your computer screen and shoot them yourself.

There are many fighting scenes and MAN are they FRIGGIN AWESOME! Just. I can't explain it, you have to see it to know how I feel.

All I say is WATCH THE DRAMA. YOU WELL HAVE NO REGRET!

This drama had imprest on the great hit, but this is only "good" story. Good 1st episode, then quite dully to 9. Again very well and the last episode was too weak for me. I don't like the end episode. Decent music, but nothing better. Minho is an average actor, Min Young also, but several persons were good: Lee Joon Hyuk, and also Goo Ha Ra which does not have too large experience. The history has big potential, but according to me this potential became waste.

This drama has shaped up to be one of my favorite dramas of all time!



Everything about this drama was amazingly done.The 2 main leads (MIN-MIN Couple) provided all sorts of emotions. The supporting cast was phenomenal...prosecutor and heck even the evil dad Lee Jin-Pyo was amazing...and I give props to Hara because she was actually quite good for her debut drama. Lee Minho stepped into something new taking on an action drama unlike his 2 previous dramas with BOF and Personal Taste. The story plot was one of the best I've seen. One of the biggest and most exciting twist to a story from start to finish Ive seen in a while or should I say in any kdrama...ever. Every episode gives you something to look forward to, very suspenseful at most times because it provides some VERY GOOD cliffhangers, its hard to predict whats going to happen unlike some other dramas. Even though I see this as a thriller drama, the 2 main leads gave off very cute moments and the loveline was freaking great! I was ONLY slighty disappointed in the ending because THERE WAS NO KISS to make it complete. I HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS DRAMA TO ANYONE. VERY EXCITING!!! TOO BAD IT WAS ONLY 20 EPISODES....

This drama is quite different from Tsukasa Hojo's City Hunter, so do not wait for the lecherous Ryo Saeba :P... I adore the seriousness of it and the actors are amazing... from the charismatic Lee Yoon Sung, the strong-willed Kim Nana...the amazing Kim Young Joo ♥ to the main antagonist! This drama will make you cry, boil with anger and is one with a suspense to keep you on edge.

Even if the investigation and special effects lack a bit of professionalism, this drama is my favorite so far.. it is far from the boring, common, predictable k-drama.

I can't think of anyone giving a negative review for this drama... so watch it and you will not regret your 20 hours spent on it ;)

Aaaw City Hunter how i love you so. I am not going to lie at first when i heard the premise i was turned off since the story wasn't like the original manga version but i am glad i gave it a shot. Hands down its the BEST drama of the year so far. The cast, acting, music was just right. This story had heart, family, romance, action, vengeance, sacrifice in all the right places. Each character brought so much to the table that you couldn't help to either root for the downfall or their triumph. Overall its definitely a must watch.

This is by far the best Action filled drama I've ever seen. I normally don't like watching action dramas but DANG! this drama is a must watch!!! To tell you the truth, I only wanted to watch this drama for Lee Min Ho at first but it really is a good drama. The action, the romance, the thrill, the excitement! Oh it's just great.

So this is an update review after rewatching it a 2nd time...

Story: A predictable HILARIOUS well paced romcom about the entertainment industry. Had an awesome ending!!

Cast/Acting: Cha Sung Won was PERFECT as Doko Jin. Really I dont know anyone who could have played him better. He had a subtle chemistry with Gong Hyo Jin (same tame natural acting style you see in every drama). I didnt really care for the supporting characters as their scenes tended to bore me. That was kind of disappointing because the Hong Sisters usually tend to write interesting supporting characters that I love in addition to the main characters.

Music: Catchy songs for the drama but I was disapointed that it wasnt as good as their past OSTs that get me to download them.

Rewatch: Being super hilarious Ill watch this again in the future when I want a good laugh.

Final Thoughts: This is a must watch if you like romcoms and are a fan of Cha Sung Won.

All eye candy & no substance. The acting was mediocre, the story line sucked & was rushed. Main girl reminded me of Dory & left me sitting here questioning my existence. The two kids are adorable though - only two people who made it worth watching. Matsujun, I love you more than anything, but this drama was a FAIL.

My Favorite thing about this drama was definitely Cha Seung Won and his Dokko Jin. So different and outrageous from the usual rom-com leading man. I absolutely fell head over heels with this completely ridiculous and relentlessly endearing character. Gong Hyo Jin's Goo Ae Jung was a perfect match for him (almost like his straight man most of the time) and they created completely convincing, adorable, and hilarious chemistry.



The story line is a little ho-hum for me which is why I put off watching it until about 8 episodes were already out (also because Goo Ae Jung's hairstyle seriously repelled me, but that's a small thing and I eventually got over it as it seemed to match her character and the drama after all). My opinion of it didn't improve much after finishing the drama, but it was handled better than I thought it would be.



Despite the story keeping this drama from, in my opinion, being a perfect 10, this was an exceptionally entertaining summer drama. I laughed out loud at least a handful of times every episode, which rarely happens, and I would happily sit down to watch this again, which also rarely happens. The supporting cast is delight to watch and the "2nd female" is handled in a refreshing way. The costumes are an absolute hoot and the sets are colorful and a delight to the eyes. Definitely one of those rom-com dramas whose head sticks above the rest.



Another of my favorite elements was how this drama pointed out that celebrities are real people as well and they are deeply affected by those "thoughtless" comments that come out of people's anonymous fingertips. I would hope that to some, at least, it got across how stupid it is to write viscous things like that. I can't understand anyone who would do that in the first place, but hopefully they think next time they open their mouth or log into their anonymous accounts.



Definitely make a point to watch this heart-warming, refreshing, and seriously funny drama. It's not perfect, it has a few flaws besides just the story, but there are so many great things about this, it's not one to be missed.

I liked the show at the beginning, but it started feeling as an anti-climax as the end was near. I was really disappointed by the final episode. I don't know, it just wasn't what I expected.



I liked the story though, I just kinda felt the magic was gone in the middle of the series.

The music was really great, I loved every song (and downloaded them).

The actors were also good, although it wasn't always believable (partly the story to blame), I enjoyed watching Ah Jung's crazy outbursts.

Re-watch value is low, since this is a series I won't forget so easily and I personally don't like re-watching things, but that can differ for each person individually.



Overall, I would give this series an 8, because it kept me interested till the end and that is the meaning of a show, so they succeeded in this. This drama is recommendable, since I really wanted to keep watching and knowing what happened next. That's the thing that counts, isn't it?



I hope this helps ;)

The movie is very....cute. that's the word. is cute. if u like cute things you should watch it.:) i liked the acting a lot. both Byeol and Joon-soo were interesting. the only thing is that the plot is loosing it's essence cuz the movie is too short. the main thing was the baby of course, but in my opinion, the fact that the story does not have a bigger concentration on the other peoples life, is loosing a big point. of course Jang Geun-Suk was great, but i mean really great in this movie. his acting was impeccable. i think i'm gonna re watch this sometime.

( I saw the movie last night. i dreamed that i had a baby, it was cute and smiling. i'm having a great day cus i woke up in a good mood )
