Am relatively new to this Asian Shows Forum and totally excited to find a reason to be active on IF again!
*Flashing my best Oppa-for-you smile*
So I was searching the threads on this forum and couldn't find ones for the some of the best shows I've ever watched.
And someone's gotta remedy that.
*One bowl of kimchi for guessing the right answer*
It's me! 😆😆😆
This one is dedicated to all those shows which have romance in lesser doses and have suspense or thrill at their core.
City Hunter: What Shawshank Redemption is to Hollywood, City Hunter is to Kdramas. At least that's what I think. It's a complete show. It nailed the balance between romance and suspense. The plot was intriguing and kept me glued to the screen for hours (No pee-breaks even😛)
I haven't watched Heirs but this has got to Lee Min Ho's best work till date. The action sequences were especially mindblowing. He even beat the crap outta bad guys with water bottles. Like a BAWSSS!
But City Hunter wouldn't have been this good if not for Lee Sang Joong who played the Badass Daddy! He was PHENOMENAL. He's totally the hottest ahjussi I've seen on TV!
Park Min Young was good too. But me was too jealous of her to actually appreciate her 😳
Okay, okay. I'll admit it. She was really good.
(But I'd have done better! 😛)

Heartless City: I'll start off with...BACK OFF PEEPS! JUNG KYUNG HO IS MINE. *territorial roar* 😆
Heartless City started off really well. The plot was intriguing, the suspense thick and the characters extremely well sketched.
But towards the end..somehow the plot became a li'l too repititive. Like an undercover agent popped up in every new episode. And I was just sitting there waiting for another guy to say, "Yoo Hoo! I'm a cop too."
Jung Kyun Ho totally shouldered this one. He was the heart and soul of the show quite literally. And yes it was heartless that he had to go through so much but I bet we wouldn't have loved his character if he'd not been through all of that suffering.
I also really enjoyed the other characters. Soo Min, Jin Sook and Hyun Soo especially. The friendship between Hyun Soo and Shi- Hyun was especially heartwarming.
Flaws and all, I still love this show to bits. It's something special to me. I found my to-be-husband innit 😆

Two Weeks: I just completed this show and I can't stop gushing about how awesome it is. Everyone should watch this show.
N.O.W
It's at par with City Hunter plotwise. Maybe after I watch it again I'll like it better. Yes, THAT GOOD.
Lee Joon-Gi was a total rocksta! It's a story of his redemption. Of how he finds a purpose and gives life a second chance.
The Prosecutor, girlfriend and detective were great too. Okay maybe the Prosecutor chick was a overacting a little but she toned it down after the 1st episode.
But the true star of the show was the little kid. She brought out all my latent cannibal tendencies. I wanted to munch on her cheeks till I burped out loud enough to end the world. Adorable doesn't begin to cover how cute she was.
When I do marry JKH, I want kids like that.
Amen.

So, this thread is a dedication to all of you who've enjoyed these shows as much as I have. Bring it on people. Lemme know what you thought about them. How much you loved them. How awesome they were.
And exactly how far away from JKH are you gonna stay.
Yes. That's a compulsory question. 😉
