Synopsis

The story takes place in Seoul, 2011. Lee Yoon Sung (Lee Min Ho) is a talented MIT-graduate who works on the international communications team in the Blue House. He plans revenge on five politicians who caused his father's death with his surrogate father Lee Jin Pyo (Kim Sang Joong) and eventually becomes a "City Hunter" and falls in love with Kim Na Na (Park Min Young) unexpectedly.

What I Think

Creative story exposes politics. The character of Lee Jin Pyo (the father) is strongly bad compared than usual bad characters in Korean drama.

Personal Taste

Genre: Romance, comedy
Episodes: 16
Year: 2010
My Rating: Good

Synopsis

Jeon Jin Ho (Lee Min Ho) is a straight guy who pretends to be gay in order to become Park Kae In's (Son Ye Jin) roommate. His hobbies include organization and ironing, and he’s known for his stoic poker face. He’s a stickler for cleanliness, but he also has a talent for figuring out a women’s feelings. Kae In is very trusting even though she has a habit of being betrayed. However that doesn't stop her from giving people the benefit of doubt and Jin Ho is no different. How will Kae In react when she finds out that her gay roommate is not actually gay at all and that he has fallen for her? 

What I Think

Nice story line exploring the rich culture of traditional Korean house. I just realized that the guy is Lee Min Ho after watching this series for the second time. His top performance is still in City Hunter I think.
