City Hunter (Part 2)

~ I realized that I had a lot more to write on the drama and decided to split it into two parts so it wouldn't get excessively long~

Aside from the themes, I thought the feel of City Hunter played out well, the last two episodes hit me hard, but not as much as I expected. The main actors and actress(es) were chosen well.
-Kim Sang Joong -->  I really loved Kim Sang Joong's portrayal of Lee Jin Pyo who I hated in the beginning, but in the end I felt sad for. You really feel his anger and hatred, but also the love he has for son as well as his sorrow. He's an excellent actor so there's a good possibility I'll be looking into other dramas he's been in. 
-Lee Min Ho --> I originally saw him in Personal Taste (no I haven't watched Boys Before Flowers) and was blown away by his kissing skills more than his acting. He's definitely good looking, but he proved he has acting skills in this drama and damn good ones. I can't even try to begin just how well he portrayed Lee Yoon Sung. From the cool exterior of professor, to the "City Hunter", and to the son of Lee Jin Pyo, I was amazed. All I saw was of Min Ho was his character, where nothing seemed out of place. I'm convinced he nailed exactly how Yoon Sung was supposed to be like. His expressions definitely captured the time and feeling of whatever scene was occurring, especially his eyes. It's honestly hard to put into words, but overall he just proved he was an excellent actor.
-Park Min Young --> I tend to be prejudice against actresses for some reason. (Maybe I'm just harder on my own gender) However I give her credit. She did well portraying Kim Na Na, the love interest of Yoon Sung. Her character carries the pain and agony of her parents car accident, her duty towards her work, and her feelings toward Yoon Sung. Definitely not your weak, defenseless, idiotic sort of girl. She did get on my nerve a little, but not as much as I was expecting. Min Young held her own in this drama fairly well.
-Lee Joon Hyuk --> Another good looking guy, but he definitely held his own in this drama too. His character, Kim Young Joo, also carries some sort of burden which weighs heavy on his heart. Despite that burden, Young Joo, is a prosecutor, who has the strongest sense of duty and justice in his department (or so that's implied). I don't have a lot to say except I was lost for words when I realized what was going to happen to his character and actually despaired when my predictions came true. 


DISLIKES/COMPLAINTS
I was disappointed by the growth of the other characters in the drama or rather how the producer decided to cut the side stories short and leave you questioning. Yes, the main characters were given enough screen time and development, but I really didn't like how shallow some of the other characters seemed. Screen time, character development...I've seen better for the side characters and wish the producers and director did focus on them a little more than they did. The five politicians certainly got enough screen time to make you really hate them. I have some issues with the very last episode though considering it felt really rushed to me. Perhaps I was just used to how much time they gave in planning and plotting against the first four antagonists, but it really left a few important relationships unanswered and overall the ending was just sloppy. Not what I expected from this drama at all.
