City Hunter will always be one of those classics that lives rent free in my brain. I’ve rewatched it a few times, but seeing it again as an adult added layers I didn’t fully catch when I was a teen. The political angles, the revenge plot, the emotional weight, the action sequences... everything hits a little deeper and somehow still stays exciting. It’s a heavy setup on paper, yet I found myself enjoying every scene like it was my first watch. And the OST? It’s been on my playlist for more than a decade since I first watched it.

Normally, I’d nitpick character choices left and right, but this drama gets a hall pass from me because of how much unspoken emotion is tucked into the story. Sometimes characters act messy or illogical, but that’s exactly what makes them feel human. And of course, Lee MinHo shines like the dependable go-to actor he is. Park MinYoung also caught me off guard. I remember her as this young version from City Hunter, so watching her newer works made me realize how gracefully she leveled up over the years.

This might not be everyone’s comfort genre, but if you love Lee MinHo or you’re looking for a solid action driven drama with heart, this is an absolute must-watch.
