‘City Hunter’ is an original script based on the world-famous novel by Japan’s Tsukasa Hojo. Since it became public that Korea would be the first remake of this story into a drama, ‘City Hunter’ has been receiving worldwide attention.

‘City Hunter’ has switched the setting from Tokyo 1980 to Seoul 2011, and according to the original story structure, the protagonist becomes a city hunter and his character develops while resolving gratifying cases.

Lee Yoon-Sung (Lee Min-Ho) works at the Blue House for the National Communication Network Team. He graduated from M.I.T. in the U.S. and possesses elite skills as an I.T. engineer. At the Blue House, Yoon-Sung meets Kim Na-Na (Park Min-Young), who works as a bodyguard there. The two people fall for each other even though Yoon-Sung was warned not to fall in love. An elaborate plan for revenge is his ultimate mission ....

Lee Jin-Pyo (Kim Sang-Jung) and Park Moo-Yul (Park Sang-Min) worked as bodyguards at the South Korean President's home the Blue House. While the president and other high ranking public officials were visiting Myanmar an explosion occurs there set off by North Korean agents. The explosion did not harm the South Korean President, but other South Korean officials were killed. To retaliate for the killing, five high ranking South Korean officials plan a covert operation to go into North Korea and kill North Korean agents. Without the president's knowledge, bodyguards Lee Jin-Pyo and Park Moo-Yul gather men who will take part in the dangerous mission. The men will be dropped near the North Korean coastline and then enter North Korea to carryout their assassinations. For their return, Choi Eung-Chan (Cheon Ho-Jin) promises to have a submarine waiting for them to carry them back to South Korea.

Meanwhile, the five high ranking South Korean public officers, who initiated the covert operation, changes their minds while the operation is taking place. The officials decide to give up on the 21 special force members taking part in the covert operation.

The special forces members complete their tasks and swim into the ocean looking for the submarine to take them back to South Korea. They spot the submarine waiting for them and attempt to board the submarine. A sniper on the submarine kills all of the special forces members except Lee Jin-Pyo - who survives and swims back to South Korea.

Lee Jin-Pyo, carrying out a promise to his fallen comrade and good friend Park Moo-Yul, goes to Park Moo-Yul's home and snatches away Moo-Yul's baby, while Moo-Yul's wife hangs clothes outside. Lee Jin-Pyo then moves to Thailand with the baby. Lee Jin-Pyo sets up a camp in the jungles of Thailand, while growing and trafficking illegal narcotics. Jin-Pyo also raises the baby Lee Yun-Seong and eventually trains him into an elite soldier.

Lee Yun-Seong, now a young adult, enters a village in Thailand and spots a Korean man, Bae Sik-Joong (Kim Sang-Ho), being shaken down by Thai gang members. On a whim, Lee Yun-Seong comes to his aide and helps Bae Sik-Joong escape. Lee Yun-Seong takes the Korean man back their camp. It turns out Bae Sik-Joong is quite a cook and he prepares dishes for Lee Yun-Seung and Lee Jin-Pyo. Lee Yun-Seong also spots a photo of a young woman named Kim Na-Na that Bae Sik-Joong carries with him. Lee Yun-Seong takes the photo and places it next to his bed. He becomes emotionally attached to the woman in the photo even though he has never met her.

A few days later, Lee Jin-Pyo loses a foot while saving Lee Yun-Seung from a landmine. While Lee Jin-Pyo is recovering, he finally tells Lee Yun-Seung about his birth father and how he was killed by his own government. Lee Jin-Pyo then vows to exact revenge upon the five government officials responsible for his father's death.

Seven years later, Lee Yun-Seo finally arrives in South Korea. Prior to arriving in South Korea, Lee Yun-Seo studied at M.I.T. in the United States. He was also warned by Lee Jin-Pyo, prior to entering South Korea, to avoid falling in love because blood will be shed all around him ...

Povestea are loc in Seul in anul 2011. Lee Yoon Sung (Lee Min Ho) este un talentat absolvent de MIT care lucreaza la Casa Albastra pentru echipa internationala de comunicatii. El planuieste sa se razbune pe cei cinci politicieni care sunt vinovati de moartea tatalui sau impreuna cu tatal sau adoptiv Lee Jin Pyo (Kim Sang Jung) si, in cele din urma, devine City Hunter. Numele personajului principal feminin este Kim Na Na (Park Min Young).

Actorii din ‘City Hunter’ admit relatia lor in viata reala.

Actorul Lee Min Ho de 24 de ani, si actrita Park Min-Young de 25, au confirmat ieri ca au fost la intalnire.

Cei doi au aparut in drama ‘City Hunter’, o serie foarte populara care s-a terminat luna trecuta.

In drama, Min-ho l-a jucat pe Lee Yoon-sung, un agent secret ce planifica sa se razbune pe guvern, in timp ce Park a jucat-o pe Kim Na-na, un bodyguard la Casa Albastra. Cele doua personaje se indragostesc una de cealalta, chiar daca Yoon-sung a fost avertizat ca nu trebuie sa se indragosteasca.

Acum, povestea din film a devenit intr-un fel adevarata.

Agentia lui Lee, Starhaus Entertainment , si agentia lui Park, King Kong Entertainment, au declarat impreuna ca cei doi actori sau intalnit, insa n-au vrut sa dezvaluie mai multe detalii despre viata lor privata.

Presa locala au raportat ca cele doua staruri s-au intalnit cu cinci ani in urma, in timp ce filmau o reclama TV impreuna. Cei doi au negat orice posibilitate de a avea o relatie serioasa pana cand au fost vazuti in mod repetata facand excursii recente in Cheongdam-dong, in sudul Coreei.

Intre timp, popularitatea serialului “City Hunter” a crescut, iar fanii au solicitat retelei un al doilea sezon. Nu este inca dezvaluit daca cererea va fi acordata.

Serialul s-a incheiat cu o cota de audienta de 18 la suta pentru ultimul episod.
