I know i’m waaaay too late to make the summary for this drama. But better be late than never, right? This drama is too sexy to be left behind, but I hate how everything was started in bitter preface.

October 1983, a baby boy was born to a mother who labored without the husband. In the same time, there’s someone’s funeral in Myanmar, I guess he was a famous politician because many country representatives came down there. And when South Korean representative was about to enter the building, it blasted. Someone had blown a bomb in the building and killed many people. Two guards survived: Park Moo Yeol and his partner Lee Jin Pyo.

South Korean 5 higher generals smelled it as North Korean way to attack them, so they planned a revenge. They’re running a secret mission to kill some North Korean generals.

As for this secret mission, they appointed the two survivor guards to train the best 19 skilled military men to run this mission.

Moo Yeol just had a little time to see his newborn son. He said the boy would have the word “Seong” within his name. But he hesitated to give him the full name because he said he’d be back from the mission to do that.

The secret team succeeded to execute some North Korean generals, but suddenly the president of South Korea said he didn’t want this mission to be done because it’d give a bad effect on South Korean diplomacy. So the 5 generals decided to turn their backs on the 21 soldiers and commanded to terminate them. Only one person who against it, he was the one who promised to make sure everything would be alright for the soldier and they’d go home safely: Choi Eun Jang.

But when the soldiers were swimming on the ocean, waiting for the submarine to pick them up, they’re killed. The injured Moo Yeol saved his beloved friend’s live. His last word was, “I love you, my friend”.

The 21 soldiers were announced missing in action. Jin Pyo sweared to get a revenge and he warned Mr. choi about it. He said he’d be back for those 20 lifes they’re taken.

And Jin Pyo kidnapped the baby from Kyung Hee, Moo Yeol’s son. He just left a note saying that he would raise the baby to get a revenge for his father. He’d be named Lee Yoon Seong, instead of Park Yoon Seong.

Jin Pyo raised Yoon Seong as his own son, but under a military-like training. Little Yoon Seong always longed for mother’s love and wanted to have a live like his friends, but his father was too strict. Yoon Seong grew up to be strong man, but he had a rebel character.

One day he skipped training and went out of the camp to see the crown in town. He heard a Korean speaking man crying for help. That man was cornered by a local gangster. The soft heart Yoon Seong decided to give a help. They succeeded to flee the gangster.

Yoon Seong brought the Korean ajeossi, Bae shik joong,  home and his dad approved because that man cooked very well. From then on, Bae ajeossi had become loyal to Yoon Seong because he had a life debt to him.

Yoon Seong was taking some rest after having a hard time with his dad for his mistake skipping the training. He stared at a picture of a young girl that belonged to the ajeossi.

Suddenly the gangster came bursting their camp. Lots of gun fires and fight. They’re going to revenge Yoon Seong for taking away the ajeossi.

In this event, Yoon Seong’s beloved ajumma, whom he loved like a mother, died after the gangster shot her.

When Jin Pyo’s people came to back up Yoon Seong, the gangster fled. Yoon Seong was furious for the ajumma’s death. He decided to go after those people but ended up stepping on a boobytrap set by his own men to protect their teritory. His father helped him but had to lose half of his right leg.

Before he went unconcious, Jin Pyo told Yoon Seong that he wasn’t his real dad.

He told Yoon Seong to took out a bullet he planted on his shoulder saying that it was the bullet which his real father took to protect Jin Pyo. He told her about the incident on 1983, how they were betrayed by their own people. He told him why he raised Yoon Seong in a strict training. Yoon Seong was prepared for a revenge.

Yoon Seong, having his world turning up side down in all a sudden, had his calling. He said he would change from then on. He would avenge his real father’s death. “It is my destiny,” he said.

Yoon Seong studied hard, practiced hard…he pushed himself to be a much better man. He’s no more a rebellious son. He had a mission to run.

Seven years later he arrived in South Korea as an MIT graduate, Texas’ resident Korean talented young man Lee Yoon Seong. He’s ready for the revenge mission. He remembered his father’s words, “No one should know your real identity. Don’t fall in love. The moment you fall in love your plan would be shattered and the person you love will end up dying in a bloodbath.”

Park Min Yeong is so cute in this drama and Kim Sang Joong (as Jin Pyo) had that deathly eyes…cool expression. And I never thought of Lee Min Ho as an attractive man until this drama. I think he has grown up to be a real man.

Just like I said before, this drama is too sexy (not there yet in this summary) to resist watching…..and retelling .

The aggressive daddy’s daughter, Da Hye (played by Goo Ha Ra), has a crush on our hero on “City Hunter”, Lee Min Ho, at the first sight. (Well, who doesn’t?   )

In this drama, Goo Ha Ra will fall for Lee Min Ho’s character, the private detective who is also her tutor. Da Hye always wants to be around him and doesn’t even hesitate to express her feelings for him.

For playing Da Hye’s character Goo Ha Ra must appear as a cute and spoiled girl. Maybe she will be  a bit annoying but sweet for Lee Min Ho.

Lee Min Ho and Ha Ra are so friendly on the filming location. But Goo Ha Ra addressed Lee Min Ho with ‘ajeossi‘ not ‘oppa‘ and Lee Min Ho calls her ‘Hara Goo”…hooo..they look like a pair of cute siblings.

The role as the youngest daughter of the President makes her look like a spoiled girl. But on her new stills form “City Hunter” location, she looks cute with lollipop. For killing the boring time there’s nothing wrong with enjoying the lollipop, right?

She plays as Da Hye, a lovely bright girl who just entered college. As the President’s dearest daughter, even when she’s studying, she’s always under supervision of her bodyguard, Kim Na Na (Park Min Yeong), who’s standing behind her. so I think, I wouldn’t be surprised if in this drama her character is little bit rebel, because everyone need freedom.

Playing as a college student maybe easy for Ha Ra since she’s also a college student in the real life, and with her charm, I’m pretty sure that Da Hye’s character can be a success.

Regardless of her group, Ha Ra, as I said before, will act in drama “City Hunter”. After a couple stills from Park Min Yeong and Lee Min Ho, finally I get stills from Ha Ra when she’s filming at the club.

Through these stills I can catch what the character she will play. Her role is as president’s daughter, maybe she will be a spoiled and childish girl, a daddy’s little sweety pie and also a party girl.

When filming this scene, she was dancing (its easy for her) with 12cm heels…ouch..but she wrapped it naturally-success-dance scene without NG.

It seemed that he really enjoyed Thailand’s warm weather and exotic views. Boating on the river, climbing trees and riding elephant. He wore a casual suit, looks fresh and more handsome with his cheery smile… ouch .. ouch … I love spring time, blossom totally bloom on this May! Even the elephant was smiling…

“City Hunter” filming has been started long ago. Park Yeong Min as Kim Na Na published a photo of her when the shooting took place via her twitter account on April 13th.

She wore a high school uniform. Apparently she is undergoing a shooting for the scene when her role in the past because as I know, her role is not as a high school student, so maybe this filming for the story before the story.

Park Min Yeong will be paired with Lee Min Ho who acted as an eccentric private detective. Oh May, hurry up coming…

As a planed this drama will be aired on May (on SBS), “City Hunter” has started the production, then on April 14th they held a first script reading session.

All the casts were present to read their script, including Goo Ha Ra, KARA’s member . “City Hunter” is her first drama in Korea, in Japan she played on “URAKARA”. Besides Goo Ha Ra, there was the lovely Park Min Yeong (I love her acting in Sungkyungkwan Scandal) who will also acted with Lee Min Ho and Lee Jun Hyuk. In addition to leading roles, supporting roles are also present, Kim Sam Jung, Lee Hyo Jeong and others.

For the sake of this drama, Lee Min Ho had to take a quite hard physical exercise because on “City Hunter” he will act as a private detective and certainly there will be some action scenes. Actually, what made me wonder the most was whether there will be some abs-scenes or not…I’ll be waiting for it …
