Based on a famous Japanese comic, CITY HUNTER is a Korean TV drama thriller starring Lee Min-Ho (Boys Over Flowers) and Park Min-Young (Sungkyunkwan Scandal) that follows a trail of revenge and romance all the way to the presidential Blue House.

In 1983, South Korea sent an undercover military unit to North Korea on a top-secret mission. On their way home, the special agents were mercilessly killed as part of a cover up. Years later, the mission’s sole survivor Jin-pyo (Kim Sang-Joong, Palace) and his adopted son Yoon-sung (Lee Min-Ho) return to South Korea to exact revenge on the five men behind the betrayal. One by one, Yoon-sung (the City Hunter ) exposes his targets’ crimes and delivers them to dogged prosecutor Young-ju (Lee Joon-Hyuk, City Hall). Jin-pyo, however, is out for blood, putting father and son at dangerous odds as the stakes rise and the targets hit closer and closer to home.

From shiny tracksuits to cappuccino foam kisses, the SBS fantasy romance Secret Garden provided some of the hottest topics and most heartrending small screen moments of 2011.

Hyun Bin, in particular, rose to a new level of popularity for his versatile performance as the arrogant man-child hero who is maddening, hilarious, and lovable all at once when faced with the unfamiliar challenge of courting a girl from the other side of the tracks. It’ll take some magical intervention to get these two stubborn lovebirds to ‘fess up to their feelings!
