first

They should really rename this. I was excited at first, because hey, City Hunter! But now...it bears no resemblance at all to the story the name implies. And of course...a computer genius. I add my sigh to the chorus.

Though I'm happy for Kwangsoo is added to City Hunter cast. But I can no longer interested in this remake as the plot unveiled. It's gonna be iffy, and just ruining my imagination of the original version.
As for me, the best City Hunter version will be the Hong Kong version. Even if Jackie Chan is much-less good looking than Lee Min Ho. But he'll still be my number one Ryo Saeba, ever.

What is strange to me also is the title. How does "City Hunter" relate to the Blue House set up? Weird. They should just give it up and call it something different as well.

thanks jb,

I don't think this year kdramas will remain a nostalgia for us viewers.

I'll watch this but not for LMH but for this guy, hahaha i love him xD

Hm, I don't think even the beauty of LMH can save this (see Personal Taste, and there he had a kick ass costar in SYJ which helped a lot but not enough).

I'm not a PMY hater, she's just decent in my opinion.

I was really excited to see Lee Min Ho play the original City Hunter PI character. Now, I'm just disappointed that they've completely sterilised the story.

Unfortunately, for me, I really like LMH so I'll be watching regardless. :-( It's hard being a stan.

tell us all this is a joke. surprise us with the real dealio when time comes...PUH-LEASSSSSSSSSE?

I am joining the chorus of pleading them to change the name of the drama and not call it a remake. They shouldn't tease us for months with the expectation of the popular manga. I guess no more pervy detective LMH,and no lineup of beautiful women. I was expecting them to announce more beautiful actresses added to the cast!

Since I've never read the original story, it doesn't make a big difference to me personally. But I did find the original plot much more interesting.

Sigh. Why does everyone want to follow each other? You'd think these guys would rather want to stand out with their projects. I know they think viewers "like" this stuff, but it's more like they watch it because there isn't anything else being put out. What other choice is there?

SIGH. I was so excited when I first found out that City Hunter would be an adaptation of THE City Hunter which stars Lee Min Ho. I haven't read the manga or seen the anime yet, and I was planning on doing those before I watch the drama. But after knowing that the premise of the show is not exactly what I hoped for, I'll be watching this show because of Lee Min Ho and Lee Jun Hyuk. However, if the first few episodes don't pick up and lose interest, then I might drop it because I have other dramas to watch. Again, SIGH.

They should just change the title. Like, City Hunter: The Blue House Adventures. Or City Hunter: Not the City Hunter you think it is. Anything, any title because City Hunter alone is very misleading.

For some reason I thought he is a really petite version of THE VOICE!!! Lol..

LOL I thought so too I thought he was Mr. Voice too. That pasta guy for a second

They should rename this drama, seriously.

Awwwww He's so ahdorkable!

Had to do a double take. I thought it he was Lee Sun Gyun!

I LOVE GWANGSOO!!! he was HILARIOUS in episode 28 ahha one of my most favourite episode .

I like Gwang-soo too...though recently he's no more incriminating GS....He's more angry GS....and maybe Pitiiful GS. lol. Still..zero interest in this set up. Well, unless it does the unthinkable and prove to be iressistable...

I cannot imagine PMY as a bodyguard no matter how I try...isn't she like REALLY REALLY petite...she can pass as a boy in SungKyunKwan because she's a sort of flower-boy with brains....but don't bodyguards need...uhm...SOME amount of brawns too?

my excitement for this show disappeared a long time ago......

Here we go again.... Angry City Hunter fans rants.... commence....

They should change the title to "Pity Hunter"

No offence..but I'm so tired of them tagging on City Hunter..
If it doesn't follow any of the original's, just drop it and get creative.

For it to be called City Hunter, first, it need to have Ryo Saeba and Kaori working together as PI.
That what Ryo is, and Kaori's reason to join him was also to find out the murderer of her brother.

WTH with this Blue House??
They can call it it "Not Really Really Like You", or "Not So Powerful Opponents"

Sorry, but my crazy uncontained enthusiasm for this drama pretty much hit the meh stage since Park Min-young was cast as the main lead.... *eyeroll*.

It sounds like just another run of the mill Korean drama now. *Not really complaining here but bitter cos It could have been a.w.e.s.o.m.e.*

I think they definitely should amend the title... at least it gives some of us hope that they might possibly eventually do a proper Cityhunter adaptation.

Still trust the origin manka writer to have allowed all these, anyway will be tuning in for LMH hehe.

the mustache has to go away.

I REALLY WONDER WHY....the writer of the
original storyline of "City Hunter" hasn't
objected (yet) to these changes. True, in
most cases if you buy someone's work you
might also buy the right to finagle the story
around. But still, why buy the well-known
storyline of "City Hunter" in the first place,
if you intended to do such a major hatchet
job on it?

And why do I have a slight premonition that
LMH will pull out of this drama, because it's not
the original story/premise that he signed on for?

:(

LOL i wtch every episodes of RunningMan and i just love his tall tales...its hillarious...but i also dnt lyk the idea how they chnged the whole idea of CityHunter..i wnted it to be fun not all polished lyk every kdrama seem to be!! im a minyoung-minho fan so thats ok...but the story ,scenario..it all seems wrong comparing it to the manhwa. i realli wish theyd keep it along the original storylyn and will stop chnging things!! but i realli would lyk to see how minho and minyoung play out their respective roles..its diff from what they hve done...sooo..ill deffi wtch for that :D

Wow one by one, Running man members are getting casted, that's really good and really bad T_T. They might not be able to film running man depending on the schedule. PLEASE DON'T GO AWAY!

LOLLOLLOL :D

sorry.. but i can't really see Kwangsoo as a "methodical, rigid personality"... pwaha :D

don't get me wrong- i really like him... and i hope he puts his all in his character! :)

Pretty cast. Looks like I have to wait 2 months before anything interesting pops up. This season, there's nothing much.

facepalm.

I am all for "City Hunter"! I think the producers will not deviate too much from the original manga as they must have signed an agreement with the original writer. I remember at the very beginning there was a report that the original writer allowed Korea to produce the drama only if they cast Lee Min Ho as the main lead. So I am all for this drama. Lee Min Ho fighting!:)
