PD Jin is the person behind dramas that are infused with humanity and emotion such as ‘Painter of the Wind’, ‘Brilliant Legacy’ and ‘Prosecutor Princess’. In particular, the viewership ratings and cinematic quality of the aforementioned three projects have shown that the dramas are well received. Therefore there is a lot of anticipation for his new drama ‘City Hunter’, which he’ll once again pick up the megaphone for.
Lee Min Ho, Park Min Young, Lee Jun Hyeok, Gu Ha Ra and the rest of the cast will head the drama ‘City Hunter’ which is based on a Japanese manga of the same name. PD Jin does not hold back but reveals his utmost confidence in these young stars that are brimming and overflowing with drive.

PD Jin revealed, “usually before starting a project, I will spend a lot of time with the cast members so I can get to know them at a personal level. I spent a long time discussing with Lee Min Ho and after much persuasion, we get to work together.”
He said, “Lee Min Ho is an actor who possesses a pure side and also a complex inner side. This gives him limitless potential as an actor. He’s an actor you have to look out for. He has the aptitude of many actors. I’d like to drag that side out of him in this project,” thus revealing his anticipation.
Also, PD Jin commented on Park Min Young saying “she’s the fastest rising female actress currently. She’s bright and energetic and is known as the mood maker at the filming set.
