MANILA, Philippines - ABS-CBN kicks off the Year of the Dragon with the biggest Korean drama City Hunter premiering tonight in Primetime Bida.
Taking the lead in the landmark Korean production is Asian superstar Lee Min Ho who returns on Philippine primetime TV after his hit series Boys Over Flowers and Perfect Match.
Playing as Min Ho’s leading lady is his rumored real-life girlfriend, Park Min Young. The two reportedly fell in love while shooting the action-drama soap.
In the series, Min Ho plays the role of Johnny Lee, a charming and smart young man who works at the Presidential residence called the Blue House. Little did everyone know that behind his massive appeal to women, intelligence and pleasing personality lies a son trained to kill and seek revenge for his father. His mission is to make five politicians responsible for killing his father pay with their own lives.
Despite being a skilled assassin, the task wouldn’t be that easy for Johnny because he has to follow three rules on his mission — he can’t trust anyone, he can’t reveal his true identity and he can’t fall in love. All of these will be put to test when he meets Kim Na Na (Min Young), a body guard at the Blue House. As Johnny unintentionally falls in love with Na Na, he must also choose which path to take. Will he choose duty or love?
City Hunter airs after Pinoy Big Brother Unlinight.
