City Hunter is a South Korean television series that aired on SBS from May to July 2011. It stars Lee Min-ho as Lee Yoon-sung, a talented MIT-graduate who works for the Blue House as a National Communications Network (NCN) agent. He's on a secret mission to take revenge on the people who betrayed his father, Lee Jin-pyo (Kim Sang-joong), who was a member of a secret organization called the Five Sectors. They were tasked with stealing a large amount of money from the North Korean government, but their plan went wrong when they were betrayed by the government and scapegoated for the incident.

Lee Yoon-sung is a skilled fighter, shooter, and hacker. He disguises himself as a wealthy businessman named John Lee to infiltrate various institutions and get close to the people he needs to eliminate. He receives help from Kim Na-na (Park Min-young), a bodyguard at the Blue House who becomes his love interest. They have a rocky start but eventually develop feelings for each other as they work together to uncover the conspiracy behind the financial deal.

Lee Joon-hyuk plays Kim Young-joo, a prosecutor who is investigating the same conspiracy as Lee Yoon-sung. He's a honest and stubborn man who doesn't like to be manipulated or obstructed. He has a complicated relationship with his father, who was once a judge and is now a high-ranking official at the prosecutor's office. Kim Young-joo confronts Lee Yoon-sung several times as they both try to get information from each other and protect their allies.

Hwang Sun-hee plays Jin-soo-hee, a news reporter who is eager to dig up dirt on powerful and corrupt people. She befriends Lee Yoon-sung and joins him in his quest for justice. She's a smart and ambitious woman who cares about people's right to know the truth. However, she also puts herself and her colleagues in danger by reporting on sensitive issues.

Goo Hara plays Choi Da-hye, the daughter of Choi Eung-chan (Choi Il-hwa), one of the main conspirators behind the financial deal. She falls in love with Lee Yoon-sung but is also torn between her loyalty to her father and her conscience. She tries to uncover the truth behind her father's involvement in the crime and comes to regret her father's actions.

City Hunter is a thrilling drama that combines action, romance, and suspense. It's based on a Japanese manga series of the same name by Tsukasa Hojo, but it has a distinctly Korean flavor and setting. The show explores themes such as betrayal, revenge, family, and patriotism. It also depicts the inner workings of government institutions and their relationships with each other and with the media.

The show's main actors deliver compelling performances, especially Lee Min-ho, who shows depth and range as the conflicted hero. The chemistry between him and Park Min-young is also palpable and believable, adding a touch of sweetness to the otherwise intense plot. The action scenes are well-choreographed and exciting, showcasing Lee Min-ho's physical prowess and agility.

Overall, City Hunter is a must-watch for fans of Lee Min-ho and action dramas in general. It's a well-written and well-executed series that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end. It's a testament to the power of determination and justice, as well as the value of friendship and love in the face of adversity.

City Hunter is a series that ran for 4 seasons (204 episodes) between April 6, 1987 and on
