Underrated

Highly underrated. For some reason only one review was posted which kind of made me not watch the movie but I'm glad I did watch it because it was fun. We rarely have those fun movies with some sort of a message. If it's a funny and lighthearted movie then mostly it's just that.
This one motivated me enough to save our nature and stuff bcs after finishing this movie I went straight to water my plants hehe.
Ofcourse there was space for a lot of improvement but I'm not a critic I'm just a viewer who was interested in something with the comedy tag and this one kind of attracted me.
Dumb kind of comedy with a plot line which didn't make me think too much along with a typical rich people torturing the poor or powerless ones for their gain type of story is not too much off an attraction but it did attract me.
Even after being such an illogical story, the movie did attract me. In those 2hr 22 min even though I did not laugh like a stupid person but it did make me happy. There were fun moments and there were dumb moments too.

For someone thinking about whether to watch or not, I'd recommend go for it. It's not a waste of time as such. The cast is good. Story is clear and doesn't revolves around too many things. Simple plot with simple things. Nothing too much of fantasy or unrealism.
Rewatch: I might do it. It was worth my time.

Lee Min Ho fans just go for it. Others who want to watch it for story should think again.

Lee Min Ho was the only reason why I'm watching a 2011 drama in 2020.
Lets get a little critical about this.
1. Lee Min Ho
The first episode made me fall in love with Poo Chai. Awwwww how cute. The way he was curious about things, was an emotional guy, how much he loved people around him was something I really loved. But then as the drama moved on, this nature of his was desolving some where amidst his revenge. Lee Yoon Sung grows up to be the perfect bad boy we people love. How he used girls to reach his goals was somewhat not too good.
2. Park Min Young
She is that one cute vulnerable character who is supposed to cry many times. Why should she cry? Being such a strong person on outside, she is still very gulliable. When she was hurt by Kim Young Joo was and still she moved on without pondering over what to do showed that she has finally matured.
3. Lee Joon Hyuk
Mr prosecutor is that one person you like so much but you hate them a lot too. Why does he have to be after LYS even after knowing that he is doing such a good job? I totally loved how he is that one hard working person who is never going to back off from his duties.

Well , a lot about the main characters. Lets get into the story now. The story started off on a good note and how the first person was caught all nicely and quickly. But then this father- son war was sparkled through this.
Ajussi was really lovable due to his habit of home shopping.
Actions scenes were top class and how LYS disguised himself according to the situations was also amazing.

I'm still trying to figure out why he was named city hunter and who exactly named him. Since this name was given only after catching the 1st person, it makes no sense to call him a "Hunter".

Kim Young Joo ( the prosecutor), did not deserve the heroine and actually did not get her. Ahh!! Something very logical. He was way tooo much intrested in the "Sweep Mission" and his curiousity was illogical as he had litreally no connection with it.

The vet doctor was being way too concerned and motherishh by not reporting city hunter. Being a civilian, you should do it. She didn't! Irresponsible person.

I did not kind of enjoy the end because it was too sudden to let LYS die and then cone back at the end without any scenes showing what happened and how he was saved.
How was his mother treated if he was missing for some period of time?
The director might have added an episode or may have cut unnecessary scenes from initial episodes and should have elaborated how our hero was saved and still not end up behind the bars after all these people knowing his identity.
Also, they did not mention what happened to the president.

What was all this about LYS saving the president just because he is his father. Except for the genes, they have no other reason to be connected to each other. What is with all this about father- son love vetween two people who havent met for 30 years!!

Overall, a good drama with nice action and everything but the plot in the last 2 episode just spoiled the whole drama. Had it not been the ending episodes, I might have stopped watching the drama. Lee Min Ho fans, must watch. You're gonna fall for him again.

Daebak!

First of all let me get this straight that i watched this drama for IU. In episode 1, the whole cast is introduced and I was really happy to see JiSoo and NamJooHyuk there. They are really my fav ones.

Story line was epic. The fact that it was all in goryeo with all these cute princes and ofc Hae Soo it became really intresting.
How the story moved on from all the comedy to the actual politics and fight of attaining the throne was at a good pace. REALLY GOOD PACE.

Thing which made me quite sad was that people were judging on the basis of a scar. These things are considered Taboo in today's time and I am really relieved for that.

As we all know their is supposed to be this one bitch whom we all mutually hate and can never like her. That was the princess Yeon Hwa. I just can't stop hating her.
We can justify the greed for throne of others as they wanted to protect something or someone but this girl was just playing to get to the throne which litreally made no sense. She could have married some other king and could have became a queen but idk why she was so obsessed with the throne of goryeo.

After all this time the one person who was trested the most unfairly was Wang So followed by Hae Soo.
Wang So never got the love of his mother. He was hated by her over something for which he was not even at fault. Even though he was not greedy for the throne still she was misunderstood by people for no reason. At the end after becoming the king, he still did not kill his brothers and was a really good king. All efforts he did for the Baekje Slaves are Daebak.

Coming to Hae Soo, she was unexpecteely in goryeo where she was not even supposed to be. Even in modern times, she was sad and cheated by people. See ing how many people were there to save her, she was way less lonely that Wang So. After all this, she was cheated by the girl she trusted the most. It kind of makes her pitiful.

All other characters were there as jewels to decorate this long lasting love which was between ages.
Cinematography was one of a kind.

Points to look forward:
1. That amazing friendship and bond between the princes and Hae Soo.
2. The slow yet amaizng romance in the middle of all the chaos.
3. Lots of cuteness, which was later taken over by maturity.

P.S.
Also, get a handkerchief after episode 8-9 as you will really cry a lot
