[KD] City Hunter posters and stills

But maybe the stills will help us. We start off with a mother —
everybody’s got one of those, right? And a man scrambling on a beach,
who may or may not be a father. Let’s say he is, because in a K-drama,
chances are, daddy issues are a motivating force.




So then our hero grows up and spends some years working in some
action-packed, fighting-filled capacity in Thailand. He’s rough, he’s
sweaty, he’s either an assassin or a spy or a construction worker with
Issues.




Then there’s our heroine, who works for the Blue House and apparently kicks some ass.




The hero’s ass, specifically. Wait, but what about all those
hardcore badass years he spent as an undercover dude? Apparently those
years he spent getting his doctorate at MIT and working in
communications at the Blue House softened him up. Or maybe he’s just
faking to the the girl to manhandle him. Heck, I’d rather he be a sneaky
perv than a wuss.




Ms. Heroine is assigned to bodyguard the president’s daughter, who
looks like a spoiled brat. From the way Bodyguard #2 is giving her the
sideways stinkeye, I’m gonna guess Heroine’s job isn’t entirely smooth
sailing. But at least working at the Blue House should pay well to
compensate for the brat factor, right?





Alas, it would appear not. Former judo star and current government
employee notwithstanding, Plucky Heroine also has a side job hawking
promo materials, or some such thing.




But wait! Badass Hero is back! But…you’re a government employee now!
Surely the president won’t tolerate his employees working side jobs as
vigilante crime-fighters. I smell conflict of interest!




City Hunter premieres on May 25. Maybe then I’ll finally know what it’s about!
