More stills are out from behind the scenes of City Hunter, the SBS drama starring Lee Min-ho as the character not-quite-so-much-anymore based on the Japanese manga of the same name.
My main takeaway from these latest photos is: Phew, the shaggy mop isn’t here to stay after all. He sports an unrulier look for his Thailand shoots (below, on elephant and in tree), but cleans up nice for his job in the Blue House. The press release calls it a “hunter look”…which makes me think they know not the meaning of “city hunter,” either.
The Thailand scenes take place early on in the drama, and include the sequence pictured below where Lee rides an elephant. In the stills below that, we have snapshots from a comedic scene in wherein Lee’s character runs from danger (with comic actor Kim Sang-ho), chased by a gang, and seeks shelter in a tree.
This’ll be Lee Min-ho’s third drama as leading man, after bursting onto the scene with Boys Before Flowers and following that up with a more modest hit in Personal Taste. I’m not sure how this drama will measure up, and to be honest I’m not that excited about it… but it does have a competent team behind it with some decent experience between them: Directing is the PD behind trendies Brilliant Legacy and Prosecutor Princess, while the scriptwriter worked on medical drama New Heart and Blue House-centered Daemul.
The drama premieres on May 25.

MY BABY! STILL GORGEOUS AS EVER!
yeah right!! he is!!! and always will!!
ahem. YOUR baby?
Yes, Melissa, Phem just already say that! Lolz.
Don’t worry, Melissa, Minho is YOURS better than Phem, ofc. (Yesss, I am part of Lee MinHo’s fan club, yups!)
stfu betch, he’s not your baby. hes mine. RAWR.
lol xD
Man this guy is so beautiful.
It should be a crime to be this beautiful
Yeah, gotta see him no matter what, he’s here to torture us all!
But where is that cute white guy?
.
hahaha..we’re on the same boat. I was looking forward to see him more than Lee Min Ho
I wish I could be on the same boat… but with LMH and that white guy
hahaha..your comment is awesome
don’t we all?
Do you think TWG speaks Korean?
Wae would he?
Oh goodness…
He was detected by my radar in those last photos as well. At least we’ll see him in the drama (probably only in ep 1, though).
Lol! That was the first thing that popped in my head too
And i thot hw weird is that when LMH is there? But wow we sure are crazy 
it so very cute !!!!!
<3
i love it
Nevermind no hunter-look,but whatever look he got now is great! Those jungle photos-he should seriously think of doing Tarzan-you know the one who runs around with only a loin cloth.
Now…. THAT IS A GREAT IDEA!
LOL, you caught me off guard ^^
Hey Javabeans I understand when you say “to be honest I’m not that excited about it…” I personally did not care much for the manga, however I am looking forward to this drama only becase of Lee Min-ho. So I guess it all depends on how much LOVE we have for the actors. I still would like you to recap this drama. But don’t stress yourself, if you can’t.
Yeah agree with you Miriam and JB! Somehow I have a nagging feeling that this drama won’t be that fantastic.. The 2 reasons I would watch it are Lee Min-ho first, than Park Min-young.
But would love it if you could still recap it
I agree with you Mirriam. We should not judge the show until we’ve seen it. We might be surprised if it turns out to be a great show. Where is the excitement if you totally know every small detail of the show (if it is totally base on the manga series)? so plese, give the show a chance, if it turns out bad, I will be sad for Lee Minho because I’m one of his biggest fan in the Philippines.
The face, the bod.. so gorgeous!
it’s looking good
How incredible it is to ride an elephant like that. So majestic. Actors get to do such cool things while playing their characters…makes me want to be an actor.
Ditto!!! They always get to do the coolest stuff.
Seriously. I want to do that.
-by the way jb I love the new mobile look
thanks jb.
Hey ! that actor is now acting in Twinkle Twinkle ??.
can’t wait for tommorow !
I wonder how he is doing two dramas at the same time?
By the way, I have skipped every single scene he has been in, and I don’t feel like I have missed anything.
Yummy!
minho looks so, so good.
and so young!!!
de-lish!! can’t wait to see him in action
Coolness… I feel the cold air blowing my hair away from my face just looking at his picture!! *sighs*.
… oh wait… It’s just the fan blowing on me :*(
my daydreaming is getting worse
OMG!!!!! SEXY!!!!!! x) I can’t get enough of him!!!!!!!!
Though I’m kinda honestly not so excited about this Drama either, I am going to watch it from beginning to end! Besides, I have Lee Min Ho blindness, every drama he is in is GOOD to me.
Oh! And this will be his 4th leading Drama, his first was Mackerel Run. It didn’t get that many views, and it was cut short, I’m guessing from the bad ratings and other stuff, but Yes that was his 1st leading Drama.
And Idk, if it counts as a drama, or if TV movies are in a different category but he was also leading in the TV movie, I don’t know too, or Get Up.
GORGEOUS! GORGEOUS!GORGEOUS!
Can’t wait for City Hunter to start…with a yummy Lee Min Ho I don’t think I’d much care what the story is about as long as he looks this good throughout the show.
Lol! Same Here!
I have a question which sort of pertain to the earlier article about LJA and Seo Taiji aka the Kdrama Eruption of 2011.
Did Minho acted a lot before BOF? Or was BOF when we first know of him? From what I got, he was an unknown rather like LJA that burst onto the scene with BOF in a main lead role. If this is true, then I find it interesting and depressing that unlike LJA, who’s a woman, there is none of the snide implication he like slept his way through the top or something. With Minho, it’s all “ooh he’s talented!” (which I’m not saying he’s not) but why don’t we entertain the same speculation regarding his first starring role as well? Our sexist society make me =/
in regards to Lee Ji Ah, I don’t think it’s so bad if she used her connections to get the role, everyone does not only in acting but other businesses as well. Sometimes you just need to get a foot into the door to get a break. It’s called networking people!
I really do not like the implications that she did anything shady to get her roles. If being married to Seo T. really helped her, why didn’t she use those connections earlier? Maybe after her divorce she wanted to fulfill her dream of being an actress.
As for Lee Min Ho, i believe he worked in smaller roles before he got BOF.
first, minho worked small roles before he got accepted into boys over flowers… it was only bof that gets acknowledge tho
but i just think the whole accusation came up cuz no one understands how she gets all her roles.
majority of the viewers can never connect to her as an actress yet she landed the lead in Legend, Style (which was a mess yet was a high budget star packed drama), and of course ATHENA.
lee minho on the other hand, was the only actor in bof that saved me from dying of embarrassment.
the scene where he cried for jandi yet couldn’t go to her because of his promise to his dad absolutely made me bawl.
Climbing trees are really fun! Wiiiiiii~
my gawd. that hair is making me crazy!!!
LMH would be the ONLY reason to watch this cut n paste script once it makes it to the screen.
Whether it’s well plotted or not, we can count on him to deliver emotion in a way that is beautiful to watch and experience. He fascinates me.
How can he be so physically beautiful and gifted as an actor?
The Hand Towel, to me, is the most beautiful man in Korea, and I love him with all my heart, but he cannot convince me that the lines he is saying are coming from his mind and his heart.
Wtih LMH, I see the character first, then him.
I have to say that at first i NEVER ever thought that i would watch korean drama. But after my friend made me watch boys over flowers i was hooked! Im not used to watch a drama with sooo much drama and love! hahaha. Now i cant wait to see city hunter after watching personal taste!!!
Actually I started to watch boys over flowers. I had never thought that I liked them. Now I am a korean fan.
BOF was a disaster but the sweet consolation was the F4 beauties *hehehe* and Ga Yeul (she’s extremely pretty, girlishly pretty, it hurts!)
Respectfully I disagree.BOF was not flawless but it was not a disaster to many fans, otherwise it would not be such a huge hit in Korea and the rest of Asia,and other parts of the world.Other than KHJ, the casts were good.Ku Hye Sun did a pretty decent job of her character-she was cute and comical,and managed to convey the commoner vibe,and in her serious scenes, she was excellent.
Lee Min-ho looks hot but he needs to get some muscles, seriously. He’s supposed to be a great fighter lol
