So you can probably imagine how excited I was to find that he was going to be in a new drama. City Hunter was definitely a new character for him, and I was not disappointed!
City Hunter is based off of a manga series of the same name. It revolves around Yoon Sung (Lee Min Ho) getting revenge for the death of his father. However, there are many complications along the way, especially when he meets Na Na (Park Min Young)! I'll briefly introduce you to the characters to give you a better understanding ^_^
Lee Yoon Sung
Lee Yoon Sung is played by Lee Min Ho. Yoon Sung was taken from his mother as an infant and raised by his father's friend. His adopted father trained Yoon Sung from his childhood to be assassin-like. He is an expert at hand combat, as well as using firearms. He is also extremely smart as he went to college at MIT! At the beginning of the drama we see Yoon Sung come to Korea to begin the revenge that his adopted father had always planned for him to complete. There are five men who were responsible for the death of Yoon Sung's real father and these are the men to be on the receiving end of Yoon Sung's wrath.
Kim Na Na
Na Na is played by Park Min Young (who was also just in Kaw Yang Ee or Cat). Her dream is to be a body guard for the president. She is a judo master and is an extremely kind and generous person. She meets Lee Yoon Sung and sparks fly!
Lee Jin Pyo
Jin Pyo is played by Kim Sang Joong. Jin Pyo is the adopted father of Yoon Sung. He is the one who is forcing Yoon Sung to carry out the revenge as Jin Pyo suffered an injury that prevents him from physically being able to do as much as he would like. Jin Pyo is an uncaring man who seems to be out only for himself and his own desires.
Kim Young Joo
Young Joo is played by Lee Joon Hyuk. Young Joo is the prosecutor who is in charge of tracking down the identity of the city hunter. He is a very smart and kind man but often spends too much time on his work when he should be spending time with the people that he cares about.
Ajusshi
Bae Shik Joong (or ajusshi) is played by Kim Sang Ho. Ajusshi (Korean word for "Mister" or "Older Respected Man") meets Yoon Sung before he goes to college. Yoon Sung saves his life and from then on Ajusshi takes care of Yoon Sung and acts like a father figure to him. He is always cooking and worrying about Yoon Sung. He is very cute ^_^
Choi Da Hye
Da Hye is played by Goo Hara (of the girl group Kara). Da Hye is the youngest daughter of the president. She is not a very good student and when she lays eyes on Yoon Sung she demands that he tutor her (who can blame her?).
Go Ki Joon
Ki Joon is played by Lee Kwang Soo (who is also on Running Man). He plays a comedic character who is a co-worker of Yoon Sung. I was so excited to see Kwang Soo in a drama!
I really recommend City Hunter for everyone to watch. It has a perfect mix of drama, action, and romance. It also has an amazing score (I suggest listening to Morning Garden).
Here is a preview for you to watch. Enjoy City Hunter and let's all hope for a season two!
