12/5/2023 0 Comments City hunter sweet momentsThe most complex and intriguing, and yet touching relationship was between our hero Lee Yoon Sung and his father Lee Jin Pyo, who raised him to become what he was. There are so many poignant moments that prevent the show from being a flimsy, shallow action thriller. I loved the show for handling the story with so much heart. The drama has its flaws but the segue never gives you time to think about them and we just sit and enjoy the journey of our hero with him. There is a perfect balance between light and dark. The drama keeps you on the edge of your seats throughout its run and never becomes boring or dull. The background score adds to the mood of the show effectively. It is not only a vengeance tale, but the making of a hero as he struggles to maintain his ideals and moral values intact, all the while fulfilling the revenge aim as well.Ĭity Hunter is fast paced, well directed and beautifully shot. That makes City Hunter so special and different from other revenge dramas. He prepares his friend’s son Lee Yoon Sung to fulfill his mission, but our hero not only seeks revenge from these dishonest government officials, but also aims at eradicating corruption from the society. The drama starts with a man Lee Jin Pyo who wants revenge from five men who caused death of his comrades including his best friend. I will call it what everyone calls it: badass, for the lack of a better word. City Hunter mixes the revenge theme with the super hero genre skillfully and gives an amazing blend of action, thrills, romance, comedy and lots of fun. Meanwhile, I’ll savor every single moment of this AMAZING drama by watching each episode twice.Now this is how an action drama should be done. While I can’t wait for the end to see if Yoon Sung and Nana end up together (crossing my fingers!), I know I will cry my eyes out when the drama is officially over. The plot is undeniably well written, with so many ‘what ifs’ and debate topics that keep my soompi forum feed on constant refresh. Taking us deep in a corrupt and dangerous world in one minute then soothing us with some Yoon Sung-Nana skinship moments in another. It’s a tragic love story, but totally not Romeo and Juliet style. The emotional connection between the two is unbreakable, and reinforces to the viewers that a real relationship is built on this foundation. It’s so refreshing to see a female lead take control for a change and tells (actually kinda forces) Yoon Sung to take her along on missions. Yoon Sung by pushing Nana aside and making her forget him and Nana by fessing up to her feelings and doing whatever it takes to keep Yoon Sung by her side. That they both strive to protect each other using the method they think is best. Finally! A truly independent and strong role model girls should model after. Don’t even get me started on how I was so severely disappointed by Gil Ra Im’s supposed stuntwoman independent self…. One that kicks some seriously butts and has enough bravery to make Yoon Sung look like a whimpering baby. Now I gotta admit that recent dramas have given us a better female idol to look up to (think Kim Tae Hee’s determination and bravery in ‘My Princess’), but we haven’t met a Kim Nana character before. I love that she’s the opposite of the traditional female lead, a damsel in distress (usually poor) who meets her prince charming. Kim Nana is today’s modern woman – a kick-ass bodyguard with spunkyness and sassyness that makes the hottest men aka Yoon Sung blush. What I love the most about the drama is the dynamic between the male and female leads (ok…I love Minho’s abs too!). It’s unbelievable to me that the ratings are still in the lower end of the spectrum for the drama (I blame this on the lack brand name actors…thank god Cha Seung Won’s ‘The Greatest Love’ is over now). From Minho’s improved acting skills to the cliffhangers that make me praise and want to kill the writers at the same time, the drama no short of surprises. So much that as soon as Thursday ends, I’m in agony that Wednesday isn’t here yet.Ĭity Hunter has surpassed all of my expectations and more. It is inevitable that a drama that contains a SUPERHOT male lead, twisted plot about revenge, action sequences, and a female lead that is sassy and independent (not a sobbing mess…hint Gil Ra Im) will captivate my complete and utter attention. Hot guys, nice cars, slow-moed action scenes, sweet love story, twisted plot.what more can we ask for?
