Btw, did you see the preview for that other drama after ep 12? Looked like a warrior saeguk...

Ethlenn · Post by **Ethlenn** » Jul 3rd, '11, 11:58

No, my 720 version didn't have the preview. What drama? Warrior Baek Dong Soo?

arakira · Post by **arakira** » Jul 3rd, '11, 12:32

Yes that might be it. Ohh so it's the one to replace LTM?! Too bad there's no synopsis

Ethlenn · Post by **Ethlenn** » Jul 3rd, '11, 12:38

Synopsis 1:

Orion1986 · Post by **Orion1986** » Jul 4th, '11, 12:22

Yes, let's talk about Mr. Prosecutor for a bit. I actually didn't find him much special since the beginning. I think we've mainly seem him with people he needs to keep a front with, for some reason.

Prosecutor has to be cruel with his father, he has to act like all is well with Nana and in his professional capacity, he has to be very formal and calm. So, I found his acting somewhat lacking till now.
But then the last two episodes were such a pleasant surprise and eye-opener. His reaction to his father as the masks start dropping is very VERY good. I did not expect such a performance from him.

I am really looking forward to what the actor can do now that his role is getting a bit more complex and less one-dimensional. It seems the actors are inspired by this work, to do such a good job with it.
And it makes sense. If you force good actors to act the way you want and not the way they can and feel they should and if the work is idiotic, how could a serious person be inspired and motivated by it?

seirin · Post by **seirin** » Jul 4th, '11, 15:17

I don't really feel the prosecutor acted any differently? He seems to be acting pretty much the same as he has throughout. He knows his father is not a good person way in the beginning. He supported Na Na because he knows his father did wrong. It was a sort of compensation for her. He had no proof to bring his father to justice anyhow since the only eye witness changed his testimony. He's not even surprised anymore by what his dad does. He's just trying to convince his dad to give himself in (which he refuses). I think he will arrest his dad once everything is out. He just won't be proactively doing all the research as usual like the other 2 dudes. CH just hands them over to him with a bow ribbon and set of criminal activities all gathered together.

Orion1986 · Post by **Orion1986** » Jul 4th, '11, 15:29

I meant the actor, seirin. The actor now has the ok to show more emotions because things are getting tougher and tighter for the character.
He showed very subtle but very strong and well-acted emotions when the character confronted his father more, during the last two episodes.

MoonRaven · Post by **MoonRaven** » Jul 4th, '11, 16:30

Just wanted to show my love for City Hunter.
The series is great so far and the acting is amazing.
Can't wait for the next episode.

Watched 13

Also, back in episode 12, did anyone notice that slap Mark (Jong Shik's goon) got? Damn, that looked real. It made me cringe. Poor actor must have hurt and oh the apologies that must have taken place after that. Ahaha.

On the Making Of:

Ahahaha! Lovely! I love how you expect to see Min Ho and his fangirls and there is Kim Sang Joong with a bunch of schoolgirls around him taking photos! Ahaha! Priceless!

Kim Nana has guts, you have to give her that.

Oh, an emo killer returned, president's daughter too. I say - let's pair them, she will kill him with the void between her ears, and he can strangle her in the same time.

But... butt, why no preview?

So you should write that on DSC website.

Other news:

Earlier this morning, SBS’s “Good Morning” (uploaded here on D-A: E^^) visited the set of “City Hunter” to interview its stars and give fans more behind-the-scenes stories of the drama of the season. During the segment, actors Kim Sang Ho and Kim Mi Sook could not stop praising Lee Min Ho for his passion and dedication to “City Hunter.”

Kim Sang Ho, who plays Lee Yoon Sung’s (Lee Min Ho) confidant/fatherly figure Shik Joong, explained, “Min Ho sleeps about two hours a day, and that’s during car rides when he moves from one location to another. He’s under a tight schedule, and he’s constantly studying his acting and the scene he’s about to shoot.” He continued to praise, “He’s humble and approaches veteran actors to chat.” Kim Mi Sook, who plays Yoon Sung’s mother, added, “He’s a hard worker. He always calls me mom or mother, and we’ve gotten closer.”

Since the drama premiered, Lee Min Ho’s displayed various stunts like the “mud 12 vs. 1 action,” “spoon action,” “wire action,” “hat action,” “necktie action,” etc. “Good Morning” aired clips of the actor practicing the stunts nonstop until he was able to pull them off perfectly. There’s no denying that Lee Min Ho’s put in all he could into the drama. It’s been reported several times before that Lee Min Ho started martial arts and gunnery training several months before the production even began.

Lee Min Ho explained, “It’s my first time trying action stunts, so I was worried how it would be portrayed onscreen. But so many people helped me that I didn’t realize it was too difficult as I was shooting. When I throw a punch, there’s someone receiving it, and the camera’s moving with us to capture it. The entire process requires a lot of practice and chemistry between the actors and the crew. Please look forward as more hidden stories unfold in ‘City Hunter.’”

from soompi

Well, well, well... so he get praised for his serious behavior and acting skills, and devotion to the drama? That means he is punctual on the set too...

arakira · Post by **arakira** » Jul 10th, '11, 13:25

Thanks for the news and LOL at that last sentence...But I guess it's all due to his management

Still haven't watched 14. I still like the drama but somehow, like Sham, I got a juicier cake on my plate now...

MoonRaven · Post by **MoonRaven** » Jul 14th, '11, 18:50

I read on the facebook fan page that directer John Lee came all the way from the U.S to see him filming in Korea. Maybe he'll make his way over to L.A and do some some movies.

Ethlenn · Post by **Ethlenn** » Jul 14th, '11, 19:05

All Korean boards are in frenzy over this issue and everyone is saying that it's a big GREEN light for Minho to Hollywood.

I find this voices plain stupid. Korea! You have such talented people in every department, yet some complex towards Hollywood. Hollywood died, and the quality of US shows is the reason why are we all here, right?
Why people turn away from US dramas? There are few good, but the rest is plain crap with horrible acting. Movies the same. This is the very reason we are here, for Aja Hwaiting!'s sake!!
Stay away from Hollywood as long as possible.
Oh well, American version of Oldboy is coming our way. I see no way on Earth and Saturn how they're gonna do it.
But I may enjoy it, like this:

Orion1986 · Post by **Orion1986** » Jul 14th, '11, 19:23

Fact of the matter is, any Asian who goes Hollywood ends up playing some hot swordsman/ninja guy with horrible english and acting.
Did you see Ninja Assassin? Rain was horrible in his acting there and the movie ridiculous. And he's quite a nice actor in Korean works.
I bet even Jang Dong Gun sucks in his movie. Where he plays, guess what, some asian fancy fighting guy with angst issues, I'm sure.

I don't see why respected Asian actors who do serious works in their homeland want to go to Hollywood and show bad acting in cheesy works.
And I sincerely hope Min Ho doesn't do that. His acting is getting so much better. The last thing I want him in is another Hollywood mindless flop.

Well, Ken Watanabe is one of those who have succeeded, but he chooses nice works and he's been "around" more in non-japanese productions.

As for Oldboy, I hate the original (seeing characters screw their relatives is not my idea of fun or "art" or "meaningful") and I'm gonna hate the remake.
But seeing Hollywood remakes of Asian movies is always fun, because save for veeery few exceptions, they are unbelievably bad and dumbed down.

Like Ethlenn illustrates, it will be fun simply because it's bound to be hilariously horrible.

Well, that's what being called professionalism and when your fame/talent/beauty does not get into your head make you think you are the most important person on that set. Same age, yet SO different

I too agree with E-chan and Ori-chan. Nothing great comes out of them getting famous in Hollywood. If they not getting cast as vilian, they will have such a badly written character.

I guess you need to find a combination of great directors, writers and actors. And if LMH does go to the U.S, I hope he doesn't settle for any gig. He is obviously good. People know who he is around the world. If he stays he's not losing out on much. Though it would be nice if he traveled to North America more. I might have the teeniest chance of meeting him

Archie^^ · Post by **Archie^^** » Jul 16th, '11, 14:52

jus watched episode 16...

does anyone else think that

probably many do.. just wanted an opinion....

jubies33 · Post by **jubies33** » Jul 17th, '11, 04:41

I too hope LMH does not go to Hollywood mainly because I think asians get shortchanged in Hollywood however I respectfully disagree that Hollywood has crap dramas and movies. Some are but so are some k-dramas. I watch k-dramas mostly because they are more passionate and romantic and intense and that suits my taste (also has some outstanding acting)but not because U.S. television is no good. There are many great U.S. dramas and I actually prefer U.S. movies over Korean ones (in general) i just find them more funny,romantic, less depressing. Not knocking K-dramas you know I love them

I just have a lot of love for good U.S. dramas and moviesas well. We also have some incredible actors and original plots too. I do think we have to many reality tv shows and i get so sick of those after a while. Now that i have gotten completely off topic I will get back to the point. LMH

I am so impressed with how much his acting has improved and I am loving city hunter right now. Having a little trouble keeping up while finishing New tales of Gisaeng(so good by the way) and nice to meet you/my love by my side and the ever so addicting i need romance, but losing some sleep is worth it for city hunter.

Issy · Post by **Issy** » Jul 17th, '11, 13:00

yes, there are some few good US dramas that to be honest, best of Kdramas can't even get near them. at the end of the day, it all goes back to personal preferences. (not the one with LMH, speaking of which I think I am going to watch next)

OK, why is it that Korean OSTs always leave the very one track that I like a lot behind? it keep happening again and again and making me sad.
I am talking about particular piece of music that always gets played when ever CH is starting any of his missions. looked through all CH OSTs, and that one is missing in each one.

Lludara · Post by **Lludara** » Jul 17th, '11, 17:02

I gotta say I'm very impressed with how Lee Min ho's acting has taken off. Yesterday I started rewatching Boys over flowers (it's now on netflix) and the difference is honestly night and day. Not that I thought he did awful on his acting with Boys over Flowers, but it's that his acting has gotten THAT much better. Personal Taste was better then Boys, and City hunter to me is a cut above the rest.

Honestly, as much as I would love to be able to see Lee Minho on the big screen, I agree with everyone that generally they put Asian actors that can act in shitty characters or stupid plot lines. I'd much rather see them import Korean movies/drama and subtitle them so I could see him on the big screen.

He's modeled 'n stuff here, so I'm sure he's probably not that far from coming to Hollywood....maybe.

Just got done with episode 16, can't wait till the last four episodes are done. Also can't wait for what he's going to do next.

That is a part of the score. Which unfortunately means that we won't have it out on an album. I really wish the big budget korean dramas with good music would add a score to the osts.

It's like they only appreciate the licensed songs and not the composer of the show. Such good music deserves to be promoted as well. If it's top shelf like some are. Very impressive composers.
