I re-watched this drama twice after it first came out (years ago). However, I am not sure how much my original review (below) would still hold up today, especially after other similar dramas have aired since City Hunter that I have probably enjoyed more. But I decided to keep my original review because it stays true to how I felt after I watched this drama for the first time.

Action-packed with a lot of heart, this is the best drama of 2011 so far and (possibly, in my opinion) one of the best dramas ever. It wasn't perfect (right--name a perfect drama) but it had everything that makes a drama damn near close all in one tight (entertaining) bundle of 20 episodes. The actors are smokin' (Lee Min HOT ~swoon~) the plot is amazing and well constructed, the soundtrack is off the charts, the chemistry is on fire, and the cinematic pallet is beautiful. Of course, this drama should come with a health warning: not for the weak at heart. It will get your blood rolling, palms sweating, and pulse pounding. I don't know how many times I freaked out during this show. Enough to have me worried about the side effects, for sure. But regardless, it was a great watch and I enjoyed every minute of it. So sad it is over!
