I love to watch this drama…this is the best Korean drama that I had ever watched…Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young is a PERFECT COUPLE in this drama..but I don’t understand and little bit disappointed about ending of this drama… I really hope that this drama will continue in ‘City Hunter 2′… If there are Boys Over Flower 2.. why not City Hunter also continue in City Hunter 2… “Producer of City Hunter…please continue drama of City Hunter in City Hunter 2 for the lovers of City Hunter”
