'City hunter' is facing hardship even before it's start due to comparison they currently receiving.

Actor Lee Min-ho's new drama, City Hunter receives non-stop comparison between Rain's 'The Fugitive Plan B'.

'City Hunter' became popular as soon as the main casts list was revealed but since when 'The Fugitive plan B' aired which has almost similar set up as the 'City Hunter', the said tv series keep on gaining negative comments.
One official from 'City Hunter' secretly informed, “There are some voices that SBS has to reexamine 'City Hunter', even from the inside. We might have to take some time until the final decision.”

'City hunter' is based on a Japanese comic. The plot is about a private investigator,
who specially likes women, solving cases; this is almost similar with Rain's The Fugitive Plan B'.The previous official added, “This became a big problem for 'City Hunter' since 'The Fugitive Plan B”'s viewer rating has been halved. Due to the fact that there aren't many 'detective' dramas in Korea, people will not stop comparing those two dramas.”

Lee Min Ho: "Worried because 'City Hunter'
is similar to 'The Fugitive Plan B'? No way!

[OSEN=이정아 기자]이민호 측이 비가 KBS '도망자 플랜 비'에서 연기하고 있는 지우라는 캐릭터와 이민호가 차기작 SBS '시티헌터'에서 연기할 강진이라는 캐릭터가 비슷할 것 같아 걱정을 하고 있다는 말에 전혀 근거 없는 말이라며 손사레를 쳤다.
Lee Min Ho's side has responded to the rumors that things had been worrisome becoz the character Lee Min Ho is undertaking for City Hunter (role of Kang Jin) is similar to the character played by Bi (role of Ji Woo) in The Fugitive Plan B by saying that it's not a big deal and waved it off dismissively.

그동안 까칠한 도련님, 동성애자로 의심 받는 멋쟁이 건축가 등으로 변신했던 이민호는 세계적으로 폭발적인 인기를 모은 일본 호조 츠카사의 동명만화 '시티헌터'의 남자 주인공 강진 역에 캐스팅 돼 진짜 강진이 되기 위해 사격, 무술 등 각종 액션 준비와 함께 캐릭터 분석까지 하나하나 세심하게 신경쓰며 준비를 하고 있다.
Lee Min Ho who has played roles of a picky young master, an architect who is questioned to be homosexual had been picked to play the main male lead of Hojo Tsukasa's internationally popular manga 'city hunter' and has been training in shooting, martial arts and other action skills as well as analysing the character he will be acting as, scrupulously immersing himself in the preparation.
이민호가 난봉꾼에 미인을 보면 어쩔 줄 모르는 호색한이지만 고도의 기술로 민첩하게 사건을 해결하는 비밀을 간직한 남자 강진으로 분한다는 사실에 벌써부터 설렘을 감추지 못하고 있는 시청자들도 많다.
Many viewers cannot conceal their thrill (anticipation) of the drama in which LMH will be acting as a playboy who finds himself rendered helpless in the presence of beautiful women, but is also a highly skilled and agile character who unravels cases while harboring a hidden secret.
이런 이민호를 보며 최근 일각에서는 "비가 출연하고 있는 '도망자'의 시청률이 절반으로 떨어진 가운데 비슷한 캐릭터를 연기할 이민호의 '시티헌터'에 대해 내부적으로도 걱정의 목소리가 나오고 있다"는 우려를 나타냈다. 하지만 이는 일단 기우에 불과하다는 것이 전반적인 의견이다.
Thinking about LMH as such a character, reports that the production team of city Hunter is worried since ratings for 'The Fugitive' (where Bi plays a similar character) has dropped by half has arisen. However the overall opinion is this may be undue worry.
특히 이민호 소속사 측은 26일 OSEN과의 전화통화에서 "비와 이민호가 연기하는 캐릭터 강진이 어떻게 비슷하다고 말씀을 하는 것인지 모르겠다. 이민호가 연기하는 강진은 원작과도 다른 부분이 많을 것이고 아직 대본도 나오지 않은 상태다"고 밝혔다.
In particular, LMH's agency spoke with OSEN through the phone on the 26th saying "We don't know why people are saying how the character of Kang Jin is similar to the character played by Bi. The character of Kang jin that LMH will be playing will be different in many aspects from that of the original manga. The script is not out yet."
이어 "강진의 캐릭터는 아마 상상 이상으로 입체적이고 색다른 인물일 것이다. 요즘 이민호는 그런 강진을 표현하는데만 몰두하며 준비를 하고 있다. 걱정 마시고 이민호의 강진에 많은 기대 부탁한다. PD, 작가, 스태프들 모두 '시티헌터'를 멋지게 만들어 내기 위해 구슬땀을 흘리고 있다"고 말했다.
"The character of Kang Jin is perhaps more 3-dimensional than what people imagine and will be a different (unconventional) person. Recently, LMH is immersing himself in the character while preparing for the drama. Please do not worry and please eagerly anticipate LMH's take on Kang Jin. The PD, scriptwriter, and all staff are working hard to prepare a cool 'city hunter' drama."
이민호가 주연을 맡은 한국판 ‘시티헌터’는 1980년대 도쿄를 배경으로 삼았던 원작과는 달리 2011년 서울을 배경으로 펼쳐진다. 큰 키에 잘생긴 외모를 가진 전직 CIA요원 출신인 강진이 차가운 도시 속에서 상처받은 사람들의 가슴 아픈 사연을 말끔히 처리해주는 해결사로 활동하며 자신의 마음 속 상처를 치유 받고 더 나아가 사랑과 가족에 대한 새로운 인식을 갖게 되는 이야기가 담겨진다.
The korean version of City Hunter that LMH will be in has 2011's Seoul as the background rather than 1980's Tokyo. Kang Jin, who is a tall and good-looking ex CIA agent, neatly solves and takes care of the painful situations of the city dwellers who live in an indifferent environment, and in the process heals the wound in his own heart and takes on a new perspective towards love and family.

"Lee Min Ho Works Out His Body for City Hunter"

“Pretty Boy” Lee Min Ho has begun his project to create the best body.


Next year, Lee Min Ho will appear in the upcoming SBS drama “City Hunter” as the main male lead, and will start his training for the drama.

In this drama, Lee Min Ho will be playing Kang Jin who is a problem solver. The plot from the original manga (written and illustrated by Hojo Tsukasa) is about a man named Ryo Saeba who’s a womanizer and helps beautiful ladies with their problems, but he’s also known to be a great fighter who can defeat anyone with his bare hands. He also creates a special unit of foreign members in Tokyo.

In the 2011 drama version, the location will be held in Seoul and Kang Jin will be a former CIA member. Although the background of the character may be different, the original role of the character will not change.

Lee Min Ho is preparing himself to create a whole new look for his new character, Kang Jin. Lee Min Ho last appeared on MBC drama “Personal Taste” and had been taking care of his body since then, but for “City Hunter,” he will be exercising more than ever to create a whole new body that will live up to his character. It has been almost a month already.

In the manga, there’s a scene where the main character starts to lift weights as a warm up routine which is one of the reasons why Lee Min Ho will be focusing on weight lifting.

Lee Min Ho also promised his fans on his transformation, “There will be many opportunities for me to create a healthy body, and I will do my best to work for it.”

Lee Min Ho earned the title of being a pretty boy since he appeared in “Boys Over Flowers,” and in the future, he might even earn the title of having the “Best Body” for appearing on “City Hunter.”
