Lee Min-ho on location for City Hunter
by javabeans
Shoots for SBS’s upcoming City Hunter have taken its star, Lee Min-ho, overseas; he traveled abroad to Thailand last month, which is where most of these photos come from.
The production hasn’t provided too many details about the plotline for the Thai shoots, so I’m just hoping that the furry, moppy thing that crawled on his head and died in an unruly mess is just a part of a vacation look, perhaps, or maybe a flashback. The other photos indicate a return to the sleeker, cleaner ‘do we’re used to seeing him wearing, particularly in the shot with his co-star Park Min-young. (Too bad we have to trade the hair for the pink pants. I guess that’s why they say life’s about compromise.) I presume that the two suited Blue House employees are talking on the job in that scene, since he’s a communications guy (MIT-educated!) there and she’s a bodyguard.
An attempt to explain the connection to the drama’s roots in the popular manga series: Shifting the setting from 1980s Tokyo to a present-day Seoul, this drama takes the original premise of a hero who solves cases, working through the injuries and pain that’ll come his way, and developing into a “city hunter.” The cases will range from big to small, offering comfort and satisfaction to people living and hoping for the future.
Not to beat a dead horse (thwack!), but wouldn’t it be easier for the so-called city hunter to solve cases if he were…yunno…a private detective? Or a cop? Or someone who solves cases for clients as a part of his regular job description? Not to say that a Blue House employee with a doctorate from MIT can’t tackle cases on the side, but when you’ve got the premise built right in… sigh. I dunno. I’m confused.
City Hunter premieres on May 25.

Probably just an extra for a few awkwardly delivered lines in English. Le sigh!
In other news, LMH looks good with straight hair, I'm not used to it at all.

Cute white boy overshadows Min Ho. Who is he? Why is he there? Maybe they will have a very slowwwww and painful conversation in English:
Min Ho: Y-o, w-h-i-t-e b-o-y.
Cute White boy: Y-o. H-o-w y-o-u d-o-i-n-g, d-u-d-e?
Min Ho: W-h-a-t-'s u-p, b-r-o?
Cute White Boy: N-o-t-h-i-n-g, m-a-n.
Min Ho: B-ye b-y-e.
Cute White Boy: B-y-e b-y-e, d-u-d-e.

He definitely pulls off those pants way better than he should. And that long coat... HOTNESS.
Also, in the second to last picture, he's totally turning on the charm. Can't wait to see his sleazy act ;D

At least his pants legs reach his shoes. All throughout Personal Taste I wondered if they just couldn't afford pants long enough for him.
I'm SO looking forward to seeing LMH in a drama again - moppy hair and pink pants and all!

OMG, I always thought the same thing and wondered if it was a fashion statement. In New York we had a saying that goes like this: "your shoes are having a party, invite your pants down." I loved him in Personal Taste and will surely enjoy him in City Hunter.

That's what you get when you get the Daemul scriptwriter to do the script. Daemul was pretty boring. Hopefully she will make the cases interesting,although no pervy LMH and no line up of beautiful ladies. I must say LMH looks good with whatever hairstyle and whatever pants. Looking forward to the swimming scene!!!

No, that's not how it died.
First, he used the holy green shirt as a trap for "the furry, moppy thing that crawled on his head," then, it died.
Love the greyscale photo of him with his eyes closed, he's thinking about how "legal" he is.

PMY doesn't look half bad and semi believable in that outfit.
Bad plot of not I can always shut off the audio and imagine my scenarios if the plot gets silly and just look at him can't I?
