Many fans are excited about the cast for City Hunter, an upcoming drama starring Lee Min Ho about a private detective. However, after "The Fugitive Plan B" (a drama airing that has a similar set up) received many negative comments, the City Hunter drama is being taken out to be re-evaluated. The thing is, though, I've barely heard anything about "The Fugitive Plan B" until the other day. I guess I'll have to go watch the show in order to see what they are talking about.
This is something I'm not too happy about. I really like Min Ho and I love detective shows. I guess we can only hope and pray now though.
While we are on the subject, though, let's view the two story side by side. Do you think that they are making a wise decision with their re-evaluation of City Hunter? Why or why not?

| In Korea, you are not allowed to work on a secret investigation or be a private detective. This is why Jiwoo’s official job title is “P.I.A (Private Investigation Administrator)”. Many years ago, Jiwoo handled the case of Asian couple who died at a casino in Las Vegas. As a result, Jiwoo received astronomical amount of money as the reward and also became one of the top detectives. Jiwoo didn’t know this incident would rebound upon him at that time. He loses his best friend Gyudong and meets a lady named Jini. Jini requests Jiwoo to find a person calls Melchidec. Jini believes that Melchidec is the one who killed her foster parents and she will also get killed by him. She thinks Jiwoo drew the conclusion that her adoptive parents committed suicide, even though he knows all these facts. As Jiwoo and Jini come closer to getting the full story of the case, they notice that they fall in love for each other. | The series follows the exploits of Ryo Saeba, a "sweeper" or private detective who works to rid Tokyo of crime, and Kaori Makimura, a tomboyish girl who manages Ryo's business affairs. Their "City Hunter" business is an underground jack-of-all-trades operation, contacted by writing the letters "XYZ" on a blackboard at Shinjuku Station. |
