City Hunter

city hunter

We usually have different tastes in Korean dramas. A Gentleman’s Dignity was one that we both agreed on and now we are watching City Hunter. While we are both enjoying it so far, he gets frustrated on those slower scenes with…. feelings and all that haha.

There’s a lot of dramas I’d like to watch but our internet has been terrible so it’s too frustrating (out of our control and hopefully we’ll move soon). My husband borrows some DVDs from a friend at work but most had such terrible English subtitles that I’d yell at the screen. Finally we got the City Hunter one and the subtitles are good, so slowly working our way through it.

What are you watching now?

(Also, I had to draw a very simple comic for this post because we are both sick with horrendous colds! It’s the middle of summer and it’s terrible being inside and sick like this).

    I haven’t watched City Hunter yet but a lot of people tell me its good. I actually just watched Secret Garden :p and now I don’t know what to watch next! Any recommendations?

    By the way, I hope you both get better! ^^

      It depends on what you’re in the mood for. If you want some, I can recommend a few you might like…

        I’m not really picky. Just anything you thought was good :) thanks!

          Queen In Hyun’s Man was a nice romantic one, My Girlfriend is a Gumiho is adorable, Sungkyunkwan Scandal is fun, The Princess’ Man is a super excellent one (a sageuk), Protect the Boss is hilarious, Flower Boy Ramyun Shop is funny and cute, if you’re looking for something a little more serious, but still funny then King 2 Hearts is pretty good. The Snow Queen is really beautiful, but it’s more serious. What’s Up is a funny musical one. Sorry, this has been a really long recommendation list. I also have a ratings page for dramas I’ve see: http://www.samsoondowntherabbithole.com/p/ratings.html

      For currently airing series, School 2013 and King of Dramas are really good. For past ones, Story of Man is very thrilling and the acting was amazing and Protect the Boss is so quirkily cute. Personal Taste is a pretty funny rom-com if you like Lee Min Ho.

  • CYah

    Lee Min Ho!! <3 lol if only the package arrives today~ sigh. Im on Winter Sonata.. (lol i know.. 10 years too late..) they say it's a must watch before going to Nami Island.. =D

      I hope it does soon!

    • Koreafornian

      Winter Sonata was the first K-drama I ever watched. I bought it because it was filmed in my Korean “hometown” of Chuncheon. I didn’t realize how good it was when I bought it but I’ve been addicted to K-dramas ever since. Bae Yong Joon will always be my favorite actor b/c of that. I’ve seen every BYJ TV drama and movie since then. :)

      However, I have also become a fan of Lee Min Ho after watching Faith. Then I backtracked and watched him in Personal Taste, Boys over Flowers and City Hunter. He’s really a good actor!

      • CYah

        i know.. i heard it was so good.. but i wasn’t really a fan of reading subtitles back then.. lol i only started watching K-dramas 2years ago.. so i have A LOT of catching up to do… i downloaded most of them but aren’t able to watch it all just yet.. Faith is definitely in my list.. i just need to find the time.. LOL. since i’m going to do an exchange program in Seoul.. that is why im watching Winter Sonata.. hoping to get a chance to visit Nami Island ^_^

      Oh that’s sad :(

    I am watching King of Dramas right now, and it’s been a lovely watch. It only has one more episode…hopefully it will end well. I hope you get better soon!

  • Lei

    Kkk funny ;) watching ‘I miss you’ ;)

  • kakashi

    sorry to hear that you’re still ill … hope you’re feeling better soon! I’m watching King od Dramas and Cheongdamdong Alice … probably both not for your husband (lol)

  • Marcela Oliveira

    Oh dear, sorry about your cold, I hope you both get better soon. Now I’m watching “Sorry, I Love You” – it has much drama and romance, with So Ji Sub (Ghost, Always, Cain and Abel and others) and Im Soo Jeong (Come Rain Come Shine, Finding Mr Destiny, Happiness and others). Drink a lot of water and get better soon! Hugs! ^^

    Get well soon!!

    I LOVED City Hunter! It’s definitely in my top 2 favorite Korean dramas. The other being, “The Moon Embracing the Sun”. I am currently watching Vampire Prosecutor which is totally different from other Korean dramas that I’ve seen. It is def more sy-fy/legal drama. I am going to add A Gentleman’s Dignity to my list of K-Dramas to watch. Thanks!

    I’ve only included K-Dramas that I have watched in their entirety so Vampire Prosecutor isn’t on here yet.

    I admit that I’m very slow with dramas, but I finally got the time to catch up on “Flower Boy Ramen Shop” yesterday. I’m also slow with my Korean learning, but I amazed myself with the amount of Korean I understood from the drama. Woohoo! If and when I get the time to watch dramas again, I’m going to try “Flower Boy Next Door” with Shin EunHye just because the internet keeps comparing the two.

    • http://www.mykoreanhusband.com/ Nic

      Dramas are really helpful with learning Korean :)

    Hahahaha! Whenever my husband and I watch dramas, we both snicker and make fun of the mushy scenes. They can be soooooo over-acted that it’s comical….but then again so can the fight scenes.

    me watched A Gentlemans Dignity, it was fun to watch………just finished watching Rooftop Prince, lovely drama……..

    • http://www.mykoreanhusband.com/ Nic

    I just started watching A Gentleman’s Dignity last night so far so good

  • Jessica

    Kyahh I loved City Hunter!! Seriously, one of the best Kdramas I have ever seen, and I’ve seen A LOT! Drama, action, romance, suspense, mystery all rolled into one show and led by the delicious Lee Min Ho <3 ^.^

  • Daniela Cardoso

    Maybe this is quite a late comment but, I watch korean dramas from this site and it’s generally quite good. Hope you enjoy it!

    I love Koreans, Lee Min Ho and his top rating City Hunter drama, too! ^^* And I agree with your husband, I mostly wait for the action scenes (not that I don’t like the romantic ones. Haha)

    I really enjoy reading your comic blog, Nic. It is very light, warm, easy to the eye and humorous, all at the same time! :) )
    My best friend who is a Filipina (like me) has a very charming, kind and fun to be with Korean boyfriend. She is the one who recommended your blog to me (just last week, Feb14) and I really think that this is one of the greatest/most entertaining blogs I’ve visited. I just read your whole Feb entries and now checking the January archive. I am clearly not bored but I sincerely have to get back to work or else…haha.

    Looking forward to see your upcoming videos and more comic entries about your bi-cultural married life :) Cheers to you and to your Korean husband!

    (I really wish my best friend end up with her cool and cheerful Korean bf. ^^)
