Does anyone know of any good korean dramas like City Hunter?

[Watermelonoma]

So i finished watching city hunter some time ago, and i loved it quite a bit. It was my first step into the korean drama world, and I'd like to see some more like that. But I don't really know where to start. So i was wondering if anyone knew of any korean dramas that were as good as city hunter, with the same sort of action-packed/engaging story mixed with romance? I would appreciate a few suggestions!

Iris is really good for that in my opinion. If you like action with some romance that's a good one. Modern day espionage type stuff..

Chuno (Slave Hunters) is pretty good if you're into more ancient history type action with romance.

Those are 2 of my favorite action/romance dramas. Let me know what you think.

City hunter is japanese actually. It was written by Tsukasa Hojo. It's a very popular but old manga that was adapted both as an anime and a movie with jackie Chan.

The koreans tried a reboot of the japanese one.

ahh i see. thanks for the info. do you have any recommendations then?

[JohnBelluci]

Well that's the thing, I really can't think of anything similar atm so I thought maybe if you can't find anything else, you could try to see if you like the original.

[Watermelonoma]

ah okay, well perhaps ill check it out then. thanks

hmmm, this seems to be a question for my brother, as I do think he is familiar with those. As far as what genre he watches, not too sure. lol

[Watermelonoma]

wish he had a gag account to help me with then, hah

Are you willing to try out Korean traditional dramas? If you are, try Queen Inhyun's Man, Faith, and Gu Family Book

[Watermelonoma]

I'll check em out. Thanks!

[cookiesandcream]

Try King 2 Hearts as well

[Watermelonoma]

i hope there's a lot of action :)

[cookiesandcream]

You'll like King 2 Hearts because it includes North Korea

You have got to see "Uncontrollably Fond", with Kim Woo Bin and Bae Suzy. It was the first Kdrama that I saw that made me cry int the last two episodes. The storyline is great. An actor/singer meets his high school sweetheart meet one another 10 years after high school. No spoilers here but if you have seen The Heirs on Netflix, you will be introduced to the character woo Bin plays. He is a great actor, in my opinion better than Lee Min Ho... and you'll agree if you watch both of those. I have seen City Hunter--and I think if you like Min Ho, you can also watch those, plus: Faith (The Good Doctor); Personal Taste (will leave you in hysterics); and Boys Over Flowers. If you can watch Pachinko too, not a drama but a film with Mon Ho playing a very different chatacter. But if you see the ones mentioned previously--you will favor Uncontrollably Fond. Even the music is good.
