Halfway through first ep of City Hunter
And JFC, this is really dark!!!
Also, really and surprisingly good - I had zero expectations other than maybe some amusing camp, but this is genuinely quality (so far).
Oh, and Lee Min Ho's adopted father, I sort of want to dismember you. CPS is yearning for your blood - Ninja Assassin is not supposed to be a 'parenting for dummies' guide. Accomplish your freaking revenge yourself, psycho! With that background, the main character doesn't need a girlfriend, vengeance, or a good lawyer - what he needs is a decade or two of therapy instead.
Also, the little kid they picked to play childhood version of Lee Min Ho looks freakishly like him.
ETA: We have achieved Lee Min Ho! I have no idea what it is about him - objectively I've seen kdrama actors who are better-looking. But the man just burns the screen with charisma, whatever role he is in, even something as dull as his character in Personal Taste. And here, as this violent, devil-may-care, fiercely cheerful thug who hides any issues under an attitude - oh my.
You know - this is what I wanted Fugitive to be.
ETA2: Park Min Young! She's the daughter of the dude he rescued! And he's totally smitten with her picture! Awwwwww. Something bad is sure to happen in 1, 2, 3...
EAT3: THEY MAKING HIM KILL HIS MOTHER FIGURE ?!?!?!?!?! I have never wanted a drama parent figure dead as much as I do psycho kidnapper 'adopted' daddy. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!! Oh, I see, Daddy is merely making sure he's good at target practice because there are things he's supposed to shoot all around her tied-up self and if he misses, she is dead. What, you couldn't just buy him a puppy and make him cook it, like a normal parental lunatic?
ETA3: Finished the ep.
That was frakking intense and, tbh, the best first ep of any kdrama this year. Bring it on!
