Kang Yoo (Dong Ho) is
socially awkward and shy high school student, who roams around the streets at
night in order to feel anything, which he misses in his everyday life. One day
he is provoked and picked by a street thug, and ends up punching him K.O., and
the next evening he helps to girls from a man harassing them, by doing the
same. Soon the streets are full of rumors about this ‘Hunter’ who beats up high
ranked gangsters, but for no one can understand what his goal is. When the
leader of one of the two the rival gangs feels targeted, he announces that this
‘Hunter’ has to be found, Kang Yoo doesn’t believe they are after him. At the
same time, former boxer ‘Charisma’ aka Sang Ho (Sung Woong) has found an
interest in this Hunter, as he reminds him of himself. Now everyone is looking
for Kang Yoo who thinks nothing of himself…
I didn’t really expect
anything from this drama, firstly because it is so short, secondly due to the
lead actors being pretty new. But it sort of just went it’s course while
watching, especially since it reminded me of the Japanese delinquent dramas
that have B rated actors and loads of fighting in it. By that I mean I actually
did enjoy it, though it was just a tiny bit too detailed and deep for a drama
about people fighting thugs and each other. I also didn’t quite get the
storyline, even though they kept repeating it, it really didn’t make sense -
might be that the storyline doesn’t try to make you relate to it, like Japanese
dramas are. On the other hand the amount of time used on the explaining was
quite decent, meaning they didn’t spend all of the time introducing millions of
characters and explaining how scary and undefeatable they are.
All in all, if you
prefer this kind of ‘boys-fighting-to-see-who-is-strongest’, this is a pick.
