They didn't sacrifice the story to serve up the audience lots of drippy, gooey love. Romance: While I am all for some loving, hugging and kissing.I like that this drama knew when to quit. I like that the writers didn't make the antagonists stupid and they weren't always easy for City Hunter to catch.
Also, those he's fighting aren't stupid either so he has got a fight on his hands. You get to see so many moments of kick-assery but you also get to see the price he pays whether it is his body or his psyche. The character of Yoon Sung (City Hunter) is a flawed and fallible hero but he's smart and ultimately good and I found myself behind him and his cause. Or you may find yourself loving a character that is on a dogged search for and could just bring down your beloved hero. They are fleshed out so well that you end up having sympathy for a character you know you ought to hate.who deserves your disdain and yet, you feel their pain. It's the best praise and prize a writer can get and the writers of City Hunter certainly got it from me.Ĭharacters: Again, the characters are written so they are not dumbed down for the audience. Pulling these physical and emotional reactions from the audience is the mark of great story telling. There are well timed comedic moments that will have you laughing out loud. There are times when you want to pump your fist and times when you want to sob your heart out. There are surprises around so many corners, moments where you suck in your breath. All good stories need moments of 'set-up' and because there are so many bad ass episodes when the action calms and there is a need for some exposition you don't mind.you understand that its necessary and it builds up the tension for the next stage of "The Plan".

Some of the episodes are packed full of dramatic tension and zip by so fast that when the credits roll you sit there thinking "The hour is over already?" There is a depth and smartness to how the characters are written and for the most part, the pacing of the 20 episodes is framed very well. As you watch this drama, you notice it is almost like riding a ride.

As for characters, I believe they were nice to follow considering the fact that their developments were quite good.Īs for music, I have to give this drama’s OST credit not only they were well chosen but they were also put at the right moment creating an enjoyable atmosphere. Other cast were also appreciated since they could deliver feelings especially Kim Sang Joong who portrayed the villain role in a perfect way. Lee Min Ho can be quite stiff but that doesn’t deny that his action scenes were pretty well done. I also have to refer to the masked hero theme that was used in a great way. What I appreciated the most about this drama’s screenwriting was the action and revenge departments they were really well done in a way that will make you believe they’re the core of the drama regardless of any other subjects. The intense events were always present to create cliffhangers at every turn in each episode. This drama’s story centers on revenge, action, friendship and romance: the ultimate combination to create various story’s developments all the time excluding any chance for dragging or slow moments. Rewatch Value 8.0 City Hunter is obviously one of the fewest well-made action dramas in South Korea.
