A Huey helicopter shown in the Episode 4 was not introduced until1960 - a decade after the time period of this drama. Fine script, action sequences and acting add up to an absorbing war drama.
Great concept and wonderful script/conversation help this drama get away with revised history, as usual. And, aren't lead actors and actresses easy on your eyes?
Isn't this drama a mega-hit in making with great conversations and plot twists supported by lively Ha Ji Won and convoluted Lee Seung Gi? Kudos for a credible portrayal of North Korean psyche, dialect and lifestyle such as subway, uniform/fashion, political posters and outdated technologies. Translation, though marred by inaccuracies once in a while (pardon my nit-picking), conveys Korean thoughts and feelings into polished American English wonderfully.
If you want some laughter, a healthy therapy BTW, without taxing your brain cells much, this is not a poor choice.
If you want a hilarious corporate drama that does not tax your brain cells, or zoom your Kleenex bill this drama could be as good as any other.
Not so much for dashing action scenes but for clever conversation and the noble "faith" of the City Hunter.
Fine dramatization of last years of the Joseon dynasty, Korean caste system, Japanese scheme to colonize Korea, patriotic resistance to it and contributions of American (medical) missionaries to modernization of Korea.
Very good, but...
I am too old for this genre.
