Shoots for SBS’s upcoming City Hunter have taken its star, Lee Min-ho, overseas; he traveled abroad to Thailand last month, which is where most of these photos come from.
The production hasn’t provided too many details about the plotline for the Thai shoots, so I’m just hoping that the furry, moppy thing that crawled on his head and died in an unruly mess is just a part of a vacation look, perhaps, or maybe a flashback. The other photos indicate a return to the sleeker, cleaner ‘do we’re used to seeing him wearing, particularly in the shot with his co-star Park Min-young. (Too bad we have to trade the hair for the pink pants. I guess that’s why they say life’s about compromise.) I presume that the two suited Blue House employees are talking on the job in that scene, since he’s a communications guy (MIT-educated!) there and she’s a bodyguard.
An attempt to explain the connection to the drama’s roots in the popular manga series: Shifting the setting from 1980s Tokyo to a present-day Seoul, this drama takes the original premise of a hero who solves cases, working through the injuries and pain that’ll come his way, and developing into a “city hunter.” The cases will range from big to small, offering comfort and satisfaction to people living and hoping for the future.
Not to beat a dead horse (thwack!), but wouldn’t it be easier for the so-called city hunter to solve cases if he were…yunno…a private detective? Or a cop? Or someone who solves cases for clients as a part of his regular job description? Not to say that a Blue House employee with a doctorate from MIT can’t tackle cases on the side, but when you’ve got the premise built right in… sigh. I dunno. I’m confused.
City Hunter premieres on May 25.

eee! he’s so hot! and he pulls of the pink pants thing pretty well.
awesome! I’ve never been first
P.S. The white guy is also cute.
Now I want to know who the white guy is……. Damn
Probably just an extra for a few awkwardly delivered lines in English. Le sigh!
In other news, LMH looks good with straight hair, I’m not used to it at all.
Hahaha….where do they get these guys? Ah my bucket list includes going to S.Korea and being a drama extra who speaks pretty damn good english.
Anyways my interest in this drama is waning but the car is the last pic is awesome
in reply to Maho. LOL. I’d like to that too XD
Yay!!! Two actors I want to see in a drama again
))
Yes, those blue eyes in the back seat. He looks sweet.
Lol! LMH is in big trouble!
Totaly digging the white guy in the back 
Lee Min WHO?? That caucasian guy in the back seat is so stealing the thunder!
OH.. I thought I was the only one. EEHEHEHEEE.
Cute white boy overshadows Min Ho. Who is he? Why is he there? Maybe they will have a very slowwwww and painful conversation in English:
Min Ho: Y-o, w-h-i-t-e b-o-y.
Cute White boy: Y-o. H-o-w y-o-u d-o-i-n-g, d-u-d-e?
Min Ho: W-h-a-t-’s u-p, b-r-o?
Cute White Boy: N-o-t-h-i-n-g, m-a-n.
Min Ho: B-ye b-y-e.
Cute White Boy: B-y-e b-y-e, d-u-d-e.
HA! So true.
LOL!!!!!!!!!
IKR. I was about to ask…and then squeal.
I could only stare at the white guy haha!
I think I’ve been watching a LOT of kdrama. The white guy looks really white/pale.
He definitely pulls off those pants way better than he should. And that long coat… HOTNESS.
Also, in the second to last picture, he’s totally turning on the charm. Can’t wait to see his sleazy act ;D
Totally agree about the pants. I just love how he never disappoint with his fashion and skinny jeans.
In my mind Lee Min Ho=Skinnys
I like his furry hair more than the straight one.
me too, i think the mop suits him.
Finely I found someone that think as me about le min ho hai.
*hair
Yup, I think he looks totally sexy in that bed hair. At least it’s not like BOF hair.
I love those pink pants! hehehe I can’t wait for this! XP
Those are SALMON pants, not pink ; )
Lol. Sounds like Ross from one of the eps of Friends where he insisted that his shirt was salmon and not pink! Heheh.
At least his pants legs reach his shoes. All throughout Personal Taste I wondered if they just couldn’t afford pants long enough for him.
I’m SO looking forward to seeing LMH in a drama again – moppy hair and pink pants and all!
OMG, I always thought the same thing and wondered if it was a fashion statement. In New York we had a saying that goes like this: “your shoes are having a party, invite your pants down.” I loved him in Personal Taste and will surely enjoy him in City Hunter.
LOL. I’ll be using that one
LOL! I’m pretty sure it was a fashion statement…I kinda liked it!
LOL! No wonder why I love NYers no matter what CAns say.
Ah~ they look like they are having lots of fun at the floating market in BKK. Brings back fond memories for me.
I totally looked to see if his pants were long enough!
whoa, lee minho and park min young both are looking ridiculously hot +_+
That’s what you get when you get the Daemul scriptwriter to do the script. Daemul was pretty boring. Hopefully she will make the cases interesting,although no pervy LMH and no line up of beautiful ladies. I must say LMH looks good with whatever hairstyle and whatever pants. Looking forward to the swimming scene!!!
shower scenessss
*drools*
I am so excited !!! The 2 leads are my most favorite young actor and actress. YAY !!!
LOL to the random white guy. It wouldn’t be a kdrama without one.
His face features are perfect beyond words! whether it’s from the side, eyes closed, half-open mouth, smiling lips….How can it be?! *drool*
hot dayum!!! I actually love his hair, just want to run my fingers through it hahaha
But I didn’t read the manga or whatever its based off so I’m actually excited for this
oh my God. my boy!!!!!!!!!!! i know the hair sucks, but he still looks smokin’ hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*drools* his biceps and triceps are to die for.
Ok…I’m dead.
Question now is will Lee MinHo’s hotness save the drama from itself…
“…the furry, moppy thing that crawled on his head and died in an unruly mess…”
BAHAHAHA!!! you crack me up
and what’s up with the white guy? is he also a main character?
I have yet to discover a fashion statement that I haven’t forgiven Lee Minho in about 5 seconds.
Work it, Minho, Work it.
I have yet to discover a fashion statement that I haven’t forgiven Lee Minho for in about 5 seconds.
Work it, Minho, Work it.
Pink pants? Road kill hair “do”? Who cares?
It’s ALL good, cause LMH is rockin’ it!
Can’t wait for City Hunter!
kekeke he looks goood in the pink pants ^____^
How come you peeps are peeping more at his pink netherland and not have a say about his moth eaten tee above those horizons? Please tell me it is not the next IT thing.
No, that’s not how it died.
First, he used the holy green shirt as a trap for “the furry, moppy thing that crawled on his head,” then, it died.
Love the greyscale photo of him with his eyes closed, he’s thinking about how “legal” he is.
I know I’M thinking about how “legal” he is! Ahhh yes, come to noona…….
Oh boy….he is looking mighty fine
PMY doesn’t look half bad and semi believable in that outfit.
Bad plot of not I can always shut off the audio and imagine my scenarios if the plot gets silly and just look at him can’t I?
I am so a glass half full person.LOL.
That white dude looks like that British child actor, Thomas Sangster from 2003′s Love, Actually.
He’s around 20 yrs. old now.
no wonder he looked familiar.
aww, little awkward kid turned out to be really cute.
I knew that kid was going to grow up to be a looker……but i didnt know hes 20 now?….he older than me!!…weird …but i did watch love actually last year for the first time ….awesome movie by the way
Agree…love that movie.
he’s dreamy
and i’ve got a pair of pink pants that look JUST like those
Is it just me or does he look good in EVERY picture???? I SWEAR I’m not even being biased or anything….I like the fury hair AND the pink pants AND the suit AND…okay u get my point!
Sigh….just when I said I would wait till the drama was over to watch it…I have finals coming up y’all!
Javabeans/Girlfriday can you pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee recap royal family!? It’s an awesome show, I love it- But it’s a bit complex and as I’m not korean it’s sometimes hard to understand
Please would you consider it 
Anyway I love both of your recaps and updates in the k-dramaworld, you guys rock! x
This drama is going to be real pleasing on the eye. Lee Min-ho and Park Min-young. Hubba hubba!
The guy is pure eye candy. JB did a great service to the world today by posting all these drool worthy pictures. What’s the name of the manga again, and why is everybody so pissed about the change in the plot? Pfffttt!! See if a I care… I’m so gonna watch this!!
A este nene no le duele nada!!!!
First I thought, PINK pants?? Of many colors he could choose?? WTH?
Then I saw his smile, and I forgave him. Just like that.
Anything he wears look good! Love the hair. The straight one haha
Those loooong legs look good in anything and probably
in nothing too……..
I just came back from staring some more at the pictures, and OMG that boy’s been working out!!
i hate (or not?) to say this, but he will forever be Gu Jun Pyo to me. no matter how i try not to!
Hmm such a pretty car!! I want it!
And ugh this messy hair don’t suit him.
Just Il-woo pull it off good
Now he definitely looked like Jerry Yan in the first pic
i love the straight hair, but the pink pants.. i’ll just pretend i’m color blind, but hey it’s a whole lot better than the “i’m almost the right length” pants he sported in personal taste
Gorgeous. Flawless. Scrumptious tall glass of handsome man.
OMO! my baby.
so cute.
Oh my goodness, Minho. I think I will really watch this show because of you.
i thought you had a thang for dem curls?
I’m grateful for these pictures but at the same time, this is torture! Still a more than a month to go before seeing him! TT
Is it me alone, why every time I see LMH holding apples I get BOF flashbacks?… Jan-di gots a lotta sagwa to give Joon-pyo. Pahehe!
Holy Molly! Who’s that gorgeous man out there?? Pink pants, messy hair, whatever!!! I’ll just gonna watch it for my love LMH!
Gorgeous! I hope he can pull this drama off with his hotness…lol
I like his hair on his BOF days…I think it suited him well…but hair or no hair…I bet he will still be looking good…lol
hes so cute and hot….i super love love him…
my minho forever….
XDDDDD
Bring back the Perm! I’m just kidding…or am I?
KYAHH!!!!!!!
I’m SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!
Hawwwttttt Damn! Pink pant is a no no tho.
Yeah, I first thought he should be a cop too, may that’s not fancy enough!!! (or cop settings are too expensive^^)
BUT that moppy thing on his head, and the 6th pic from bottom reminded me of City Hunter I know.
wow! i guess, someone has been working out! those gun looks so fineeeee..
Has he been working out? He seems to have more upper body muscle mass…. his legs are still kinda skinny. Probably excusable since he’s got more leg to cover.
So. Hot.
the end.
Not a big fan of LMH, but I agree he’s looking gorgeous with whatever he wears.
*throws PMY away* kekekekeke… I’m so evil, I know
