I've seen many Korean dramas, and this one is on the top of my list. I'll make this short, and I know I sound cheesy saying this was a 10 out of 10, but I truly think that this deserves this rating. I love action with a bit of romance, so this drama was perfect for me. Hope you can watch it soon!
I first heard about City Hunter well before it was to be aired. I had set it aside to watch, mainly because I'd recently become a fan of Lee Min Ho (main male lead) via his previous dramas. Unfortunately, it took me a whole year before I finally sat down and watched this truly amazing drama.
I was captured from the very first episode, where you witness the deaths of 20 Korean soldiers, betrayed by their own country. The musical score used to draw you into that whole scene is just...beautiful, and heart- breaking. It plays throughout the series, perfectly placed, perfectly timed.
I began to love each of the characters and watch them progress, some of them more than others. The relationship between Lee Yoon Sung and his father is one of the core aspects of the drama. I tell you now, if you have not seen this drama, go and watch it. You will not be disappointed. I felt that it got a solid ending that wrapped up all the loose ends in the plot, and even with the romance. It left me wanting more..in a good way XD I would totally go for a second season, if the original cast remained :p
From the astounding musical cores, the lovable characters, and engaging plot, I highly recommend this drama.

Although this show might have started off slow and boring for me by the end I was gripping on to my seat in nerve-wracking anticipation. The action was authentic and the characters completely lovable. I would like to have seen more romance between the lead couple but their chemistry either way was evident. The plot had a few loose ends and I hated the ending which left me feeling unfulfilled, but I'll forgive the makers on the grounds that I loved the series as a whole. I would definitely recommend watching this to anyone who loves the good looking hero with a hidden identity trying to save the world and protect his lady love, etc etc.
This is an exciting series that has an onward momentum with quite a lot of story to keep things from repeating. Many other kdramas of the past were too long and stalled. But there is so much going on here that the series is quite interesting till the satisfying end. There story comes together. Lots of high powered villains to take down and it's all painstakingly explained so there is no confusion.
The romance isn't the main thing here. No love triangle and all that. The ending is neat. Could have had a bit more romance to finish things. The musical score though repetitive is quite suitable.
As City Hunter Lee Min Ho keeps the character likeable though his hair covers his face too much. Park Min Young is sweet as the bodyguard Kim Na Na and her charm isn't annoying. The supporting characters are quite good too. The tenacious but conflicted prosecutor Kim is convincingly played by Lee Joon Hyuk.
Worth watching.

Only discovered City Hunter drama in last year 2016 after I started watching Heirs and Personal Taste which lead me to search for another drama under Lee Min Ho. After watching almost all drama acted by Lee Min Ho ,City Hunter is the best drama and i like it the most. Not only the story line is interesting but both the lead actors (Lee Min HO and Park Min Young) is the most matching and perfect couple which make the drama so interesting. But the ending part of the story is not satisfying because is a puzzle to the audience whether is Kim Na Na and Lee Yoon Sang will together happily ever after. Their chemistry is really good. I started to fall in love with this minmin couples. But i know is too late because now they have separated. I felt so sad to read about they broke up. I sincerely hope that in one fine day, Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young will get back together again. They are really so matching together among all Lee Min Ho co-star that he has worked together. Love to see both so playful and laugh together so happily.

- TriviaDuring filming Min-Young Park sometimes had to stand on a platform to make her taller while standing next to Lee Min Ho to fit both of then into the camera screen.
- GoofsIn retaliation for a terrorist attack, the South Korean government sends a unit to assassinate 30 North Korean generals. That anyone would even consider this action is exceptionally unlikely due to the unstable diplomatic situation in the Koreas which would doubtless unbalance were any such series of assassinations to take place.
