City Hunter

Like all good K-Dramas, CITY HUNTER has gradually become an old friend to me over the last few months since I first started watching it on Netflix. You know it's gotten under your skin when you start feeling emotional over a few notes from the soundtrack.If I had to relate it to popular Western stories, I would say it's THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO meets THE BOURNE IDENTITY, with fun and creative fight scenes pumped up with a little bullet time reminsicent of THE MATRIX.Perhaps my favorite part of the drama is the chemistry between the male lead Yoon Sung (played by Lee Min Ho) and the female lead Kim Nana (played by Park Min Young). It's hard not to root for them.My ONLY reservation about the show worth mentioning is one already pointed out by other reviewers: the ending. I'm not going to spoil it except to say that it's way too rushed. It's not a BAD ending per se, because happy endings are given or at least implied for MOST of the main characters. The more I watch it, the more I get used to the ending, and I'm not nearly as irritated by it as I was at first. For me, the story is compelling enough to overcome this flaw in the works.We all know that melodrama can be done badly, but if you are at all susceptible to the charms of a GOOD melodrama, CITY HUNTER should be quite a treat for you, as it was for me.I highly recommend checking this out on Netflix or Hulu or one of the other major streaming providers and then, if you find yourself getting into it after a few episodes, rush back here and buy yourself a copy to support the talented people involved at every stage of the process and ensure we get to see more shows like this here on Western shores.Enjoy!

I've watched a lot of Kdramas and this is the first one I felt was worth buying. I spent bits and pieces of my weekend watching it in parts, fast forwarding to my favorite scenes, etc.I saw a bunch of reviews that cover the drama itself, and since I agree 100% with them I won't reiterate. This is an awesome show, but I suggest watching it on Hulu before going out and buying it.I was really disappointed in Amazon's packaging. Both DVD cases in the box arrived with a broken spine. I didn't want to have to deal with returns or claims or anything, so I fixed it with superglue, but it was definitely disappointing to pay that much for a show and not even get it shipped in a decent manner. It came in a padded envelope, while a Southpark season I ordered for my brother a week before came in a reinforced cardboard box. I hope this doesn't happen to everyone, and I hope they change their shipping method for this package.

I first came across this series on netflix, where I became completely and utterly hooked. However half way through the series it was removed from instant Que. I do not like many TV shows in general so I was surprised at how amazing this series is. Filled with suspense at every turn, drama where it is meant to be, and romance to top it all off. The action however is only so-so, but that is not what you would watch this for. None the less it does not change how wonderfully made it is.I highly recommend this series to anyone, please do not let the subtitles scare you away. You would just be missing out on a great series.As far as other reviews go, some people were upset at the ending... I would have to disagree. Nothing is ever it is all a part of what makes this series so wonderful and I could not ask for anything better... Other than a second season ;-)

Watched the tv drama but having a hard time finding it to rewatch. Decided to get video in order to view it at leisure without fear of getting a virus from internet watching. This is one of my favorite Lee Min Ho's drama's right after The King: Eternal Monarch so I decided to add it to my DVD Library.Well worth the watch even with the plot holes. Story is interesting, the villains are believable (some more than others) and the lead's chemistry kept me watching. I would recommend if you are a fan or even if you want an introduction to Lee Min Ho's drama list.

I already watched City Hunter, but wanted to purchase the drama series for myself since I liked it sooo much! It's actually my first now that I think about it. My box was dented so I was super depressed/mad about that, but it would've cost me more to return/exchange it since I would have to pay for the shipping and handling fees. Therefore, I decided to keep it anyways. I'm a bit sad about the set not having as much pictures/photos as I expected, but that's okay. The subtitles are good. There is only English subtitles and this set comes with 78 minutes of behind-the-scenes and interviews special feature. I still give it 5 stars because I personally felt that the drama have one of the best timing ever (by that i mean the storyline isn't too slow, or fast)..the ending could've been explained more but after re-watching it 4 times in a row I understand and am enlightened by the ending now.

Very good drama! I really enjoyed it and it had me totally glued to my TV. The characters were all wonderful! I agree that the end could be confusing. After reading the reviews, however, I was prepared for an odd ending. I also looked up the directors explanation and it made perfect sense. It also helps to think of the City Hunter as a comic book character. I compared it to movies made from Marvel comics and it helped make more sense of the end.If I had one complaint it would be that they sort of dropped the love story about four hours from the end. I would have liked to see the tention of the love story all the way to the end but I still liked the drama.I would highly recommend it!!!!

"City hunter" est un très beau drama coréen. C'est un réel bonheur de retrouver Lee min ho dans un aussi bon rôle. Quant à l'actrice principale, Park Min-young, elle est vraiment adorable et forme avec Lee min hoo un duo parfait.J'ai reçu le coffret en parfait état. Les DVDs ne présentent aucune griffure et il y a bien les sous-titres en français. La qualité de l'image est également bien.Bref, rien à redire. Je ne regrette pas mon achat.

This is a really good TV series! Politics and revenge run rampant next to a great soundtrack! This is an excellent 20 hour action drama.

Good story, great actors, memorable characters, action, romance and comedy in one what to want more? It can get sometimes too pompous but overall its great.

A tous les fans de Lee Min Ho et de Park Min Young, ce drama coréen est un incontournable et qui a la chance d’être disponible en dvd vostfr. Drama qui regroupe différents genres : romance, suspense, intrigue politique, thriller.. À voir et à revoir !
