Hero


Rating: *****

Genre: Comedy, Police, Reporters
Episodes: 16

"Hero is the story of Korea's top reporters and ordinary citizens fighting against the society elite's abuse of power. Working as a reporter for a racy tabloid called the Monday Seoul, Jin Do Hyuk uses any means necessary to get a scoop. One day, he goes to interview Jo Yong Deok, the boss of the Axe gang, who suggests that they start their own newspaper. Do Hyuk lies about the credentials of his former co-workers when he introduces them to Jo Yong Deok as potential hires for the newspaper venture. With his former co-workers on board, he is able to launch the Yongdeok Daily together with Yong Deok. But the newly hired reporters soon find themselves sucked into a huge conspiracy that could utterly ruin their lives. "

I personally loved this series. Then again, I'm biased because I love Lee Jun Ki as he is extremely cute. He makes me want to give him a hug. Anyway, I really enjoyed the storyline and the directing was very good. The only problem I really had though was in the last episode when reporter Jin Do Hyuk (Played by Lee Jun Ki) was hurt, the bandage on his head was nowhere near realistic lmao. Like his hair was perfectly combed and a large bandage was just attached to his hair. Other than that, though, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
