City Hunter » Korean Drama Synopsis, Details, Cast and other info of all Korean Drama TV Series. Title: 시티헌터 / Sitihunteo / City Hunter Chinese Title: 城市猎人. Date, Episode, Nationwide, Seoul. Just finished watch the eps 11 raw version. Pls download city hunter episode 11. Soo excited to watch it.:)).
Prosecutor as investigator isn't totally unbelievable, even in the States. I worked last summer as a legal intern in the local DA's office, and the prosecutors there worked very closely with the police on major crimes-showing up at murder scenes along with the police, etc. Especially in big cases that take a lot of prep work, like gang-busting or white collar crime, prosecutors may spend months (or, in the federal system, years) investigating before bringing charges.
(And yes, DA's offices do have dedicated investigators, usually former police officers. Ours took us out to lunch and showed us all the shiny equipment in his car.) This doesn't mean that Young-ju isn't getting awfully over-involved-I wonder if the police do ANYTHING in his world. But there's enough of a thread of realism that I can sit back and enjoy.:). I've been waiting since Wednesday night for this recap-you didn't disappoint! Fantastic episode, with a perfect mix of action drama (my heart was seriously pumping during the first ten minutes, and again during the scene with Right Hand in Nana's apartment) and romantic comedy (I just about died of the cute on the bus). Also, I'm totally cheering for Ki-Joon and Eun-ah.
Their judo scene was adorable-and her defense of him in Episode 6 totally tipped me into shipping them. Here's hoping they'll be the nice normal couple on the sidelines, while Yoon-sung and Nana and Young-ju and Sae-hee do their mating dance! How did she get a job at the secret service!? LOL Wouldn't her training have prepared her to be vigilant for any evil-person-lurking-in-the-dark?

Also, just having experienced near death (with a bullet to her head), in addition to the heightened political environment, and the fact that she's the personal bodyguard of the president's daughter, wouldn't those factors dispose her toward doing routine safety-perimeter-and-interior-scoping of her place of residence? Maybe she's just a super optimistic, carefree person.who happens to land a job with the secret service.
To be fair, I think she knew she wasn't the target of that assassination attempt so she has no reason to fear for her safety. As regards to her job though, I don't think Judo champion qualifies you to be Secret Service (in my country, they came from the military, even the women) and they have crazy-good reflexes and eyes like hawks. I remember this one event I couldn't run or make any sudden movements within a ten meter radius from who they were guarding. Those guys are shoot-to-kill, dude. SO, suspension of disbelief time! And just enjoy.
Ya i am offically dropping this drama for good!!!! For the past few weeks I have been wishing/praying each episode would have pack the same intensity as the first but it just never happened. I've been trying so hard to like this show since i love all the actor/actresses but they just don't seem to work together for me at all, expectually Yoon-sung and NaNa! I practically roll my eyes and fastforward everytime they are together, I always get the immature high school lovey dovey vibe from them which might be cute for a drama with a lighter tone but not so much here. Oh will at least I TRIED. Yeah this episode has turned into a rom-com with a fist fight.
Not a slick cool intense drama that the first episode seemed to indicate. I sympathize with your disappointment. I find the interaction between YS and NN -BOF-ish. The biggest flaw (there are many minor ones) for me is Na Na and the other girl as bodyguards or part of the elite security service in the Blue House is unbelievable.It is hard to follow a drama where the characters and their roles do not match. But, I am staying on because it is a Lee Min Ho drool fest and I like the scenes between LYS and the fake dad.
So I haven't watched ep 5 yet because I just finished watching episode 4 (and wrote an epic comment! You should read it!) but I had some fridge brilliance moments that I don't want to get buried on page 3.
You guys have probably already thought of this, but I think I understand better than before about why Yoon-sung has a different idea about revenge than Jin-pyo. First off, Jin-pyo didn't actually tell him about his father's death until he was 17, allowing most of his formative years to be unfettered by thoughts revenge. Now, the effects of Jin-pyo's harshness were felt, but it caused him to strive to be better, and luckily did not result in resentment. We probably have Alfred to thank for that. I'm sure the resentment will come later, with the whole mother issue plotline.
The big one, I think, that the drama did a good job of setting up was showing us his relationship with his surrogate mother. His first reaction, upon her death, was to run off willy-nilly and Get Revenge on the killers. And what happened? He almost lost his father, or the person he's known all his life as his father. I think this showed him caution, since his actions wouldn't bring back his mother, and he almost lost more.
So with his refusal so far to corrupt himself, and his determination to live well and get an even better revenge that, you know, actually helps the bigger picture AND the people around him, I think this is a more dynamic story than most revenge thrillers. Also, there were a lot of critics of Lee Min-ho's acting, but I thought he was doing a pretty good job of emoting.
I definitely feel his pain, and he does the split-personalitied super-hero thing really well. Plus he's good at doing quietly intense faces, like that scene around his real mom in ep 4. Most young actors make the mistake of overacting, and I think he's understated without being mannequin-like. To each his own, though. And I much prefer Park Min-young's personality to the average ditzy, clumsy heroine. I think they're doing a great job together.
It also helps that LMH is gorgeous. I try to be objective about assessing acting ability, but it must be said. So much cuteness. Lee Min Ho, I knew you were hot, I knew you were cute, but not THIS cute. And togheter are adorable.
How can she refuse to a smile like that? I would be harvesting the beans for his coffee in that moment. At some point in the drama Young-ju will have to pursude his father.
I would like to see that because its affecting him right now the fact that he cant (or want I cant say) do anything against him related to Nana's parents. I think too that he has fear that she will hate him if she knows. Why Yoon-sung didn't adopt a puppy? Lee Min Ho + puppy = Me dying of cuteness. Thank you for the recap!
I love the cuteness of the latest 2 episodes, but i want more actions! Haha its so strange cos action drama has never been my genre, but i am so in awe with LMH for his great action scenes.
He made it look so slick and effortless and pretty to look at! I see the writer is laying all the groundwork for future conflicts (soooo many!) and I'm hopeful that more action scenes will ensue in the later episodes! Although I wouldn't mind the cuteness too!
Awww just look at Mino (as his Kr fans affectionately call him) hugging the prosecutor on the set, the boy is sooooo cute! GLAD to see this ep 5 recap up! City Hunter is just one big pot of HAPPY soup for those of us who squeee over LMH! And 6 has generated lengthy threads over on Open Thread - LMH love is pouring over all of us - and we did it SPOILER FREE!
5 really shows us the firm hand the writing team has pushing this storyline along - it's a seamless flow to ep.6 and a total pleasure to watch. The only sad thing about 5 & 6 is that FLAMINGO DREAM is at the cleaners, but will make their reappearance in ep.7.
The boy can really rock those pants.:):):). I totally NEED LMH to wear that asymmetrical fitted zipper jacket he had on in this episode along with our rockin' FLAMINGO DREAM lean jeans, for ep. That is the picture I have of him in my brain. (Oh, yeah - and he's hugging me, too, and has that really intense stare of his focused on my 'come hither' expression.) Wait!What? Cripes, there goes my husband (KHJ) bugging me again to pay attention to him! It's like he's got LMH-radar. And Hyun-joong keeps reminding me that's he's my firefighter hearing an alarm?!
What the hell's up with that?! It's a good thing that he's so pretty.:):). I didn't expect city hunter to interest me and i must say, it's become my crack.
I thought the young-ju and nana connection was made sort of clear in the previous episode when he and yoon-sung got the same wallet for nana. Young-ju was shown asking the clerk to include a dog keychain with the wallet. And nana received the wallet and that same keychain in the mail from her 'daddy long legs.' That, combined with young-ju's convo with the vet which had showed he had known of nana even before they ran into each other at the club, the show helped us realize that he must be daddy long legs and had been taking care of her from afar. The reasons why, of course, weren't quite clear with this episode. I've no doubt that yoon-sung will figure out eventually that young-ju is daddy long legs, but i wonder if he ever saw young-ju giving the keychain to the salesclerk to include with the wallet, and put the pieces together that way? Almost Paradise!
The one thing Ive tried so hard to forget about BOF. But it keeps coming back to me somehow. I love episode 6. Its brilliant. I just keep swooning scene after scene. City hunter has alomost taken my breath away. Especially in a particular scene- SPOILER!!!!
Yoon Sung perving on Nana with wet hair. Its almost as though its his first sexual awakening. Boy you are so in love with her. Just admit it. She can protect herself from all the bad guys who will exploit her as your kryptonite.
I still like Best Love more though. Dokko Jin takes the cake. After reading javabean's theory that Young-ju could be the son of Kim Jong-shik, one of the members of the Council of Five (and since this drama has turned into a superhero story), the first thing that came to mind was Young-ju is the Harvey Dent/Two-Face to Yoon-sung's Batman. As you may recall in The Dark Knight, Harvey Dent was the straight-laced Gotham City District Attorney and a rival to Bruce Wayne for Rachel's affection.
He became a villain after Rachel's death and his being badly scarred on one side of his face. Perhaps he will be scarred in a similar way due to some action by Yoon-sung (and said action possibly causing Nana's death as well), that he turns evil and swears revenge on Yoon-sung. I'm guessing that unless the Joker shows up, Young-ju/Two-Face will be Yoon-sung's arch-enemy (cue awesome Batman music). I need sleep. Thanks for recapping this. The show doesn't have a lot of weight, though it tries, it really tries. The problem is when all the serious stuff hits the screen, it is three lines of subtitles that I have to hit the pause button to read.

After three or four of those moments, my interest wanes enough where I go off to read Dramabeans to see if anything new is posted. 10 minutes later, I'm like, 'Oh yeah, I was watching City Hunter, wasn't I?' Your enthusiasm for the characters and the cute aids and abets mine. Then again, your father probably didn’t kill her mother, so you’re already ahead of the game. Who would ever guess being raised by a heroine producing father is an advantage in the game of lurrrrve?
The bus scene was so cute, it took me out of the show a bit. It looked like LMH was just playing with PMY. I agree with whoever says KNN is the weak-link here. I am not completely blaming the actress. Forcing her to play the 'I love him/I love him not' several times in one episode doesn't help.
She doesn't look conflicted, she looks like she is playing someone with a personality disorder. Sometimes YS can fool around with Nana the Nice, but one moment later, Nana the Wounded shows up and yells at him for trying to help her. God forbid someone with power offers to help. She'll only take assistance from people as weak as her? All right, all right, I get it. Pride and stuff.
But hearing that same song over and over will get on my nerves. And, to make sure it is understood, LMH is a beautiful beautiful man. I think his character is believable, even with the superhero abilities. I am rooting for him, and I want to see him through to where he is HAPPY! I do wish the writers would put more depth into NN character as she is pretty central to City Hunter character development.Therefore even in dramaland,her character protryal should be at least half-believable. I don't think PMY plays conflicted emotions very well. She is good at being cute and sweet-the director is promoting it as evidenced by her attire when she is not wearing the suit,the ribbons on her hair, the stuffed toys, the frilly curtains,cute slippers,etc.But the few expressions she display is similar to the ones she had on for SKKS.Even then I thought the boys outacted her.
Recaps up yessss!! Thanks JB.:D I really enjoy this episode, I think the writer is trying to give the audience some sort of balace of romcom and action/thriller by give us back to back cuteness on ep 5 and 6, but yet both episodes lay the groundwork for what is to come. Ep 5 really was an episode that give us more insight on Nana's story and character, which i think is needed since her story, I believe is going to be center stage down the road, since we get the hint that her dad accident was not 'really an accident'. Also what I really enjoy in this episode is that YS character is changing, from being that detach person, that we saw earlier to someone who is beginning to care about people. Which is a great thing to see, cause with great 'power comes great responsibility'.plus LMH is just freaking adorable when he does the cute scene.
Not give anything away, by the end of ep 6 we start to see that things are getting intense and Daddy Dearest is going for the kill. This is just probably me, but in other political/action dramas I tend to hit the fast-forward' button, but on CH the writers are doing a good job in keeping interested on this men and what they have done and how corrupted they have become. LOVE LOVE LOVE the balcony fighting scene it was such a great fluid action sequence.
Can't wait for ep 6 recaps.:D.
