Kai Feb 11 2023 11:41 am Well... The story line is not that good. why was it hard for shi-hyun to explain something easy to people around him? this is hilarious (The Moto Of Drama) you see it but you cant end it Till Drama ends with viewers yelling there right there it is but why lo

DC Feb 11 2023 11:37 am Shi-Hyun: The Funniest thing is that when he had a f.a.r.t and didn't want to talk about it until someone else discovers its smell. was like ahhh i just wanted to explain by my f.a.r.t but its something beyond explanation when it was simple and easy to share with aunt Jin-Sook & Soo but the director either story writer. lmfao this is f hilarious to watch

Afolabi Tomisin mercy Dec 15 2022 1:56 pm Well... The story line is good... But I just like shi hyun too much... I mean.. He's just full of charisma... Lol. He's a good actor... He makes me finish watching the series even though I found it boring at some point... He should have survive the series... Too bad that he died and even his best friend hyun soo... They really don't deserve such an ending.... As for the actress... I especially like Soo min's eyes... They are really captivating... And she has such a good chemistry with shin hyun... Too bad the drama didn't center on them.. They would have a made a cute couple....... I really want to watch all of shi hyun's drama.... He's so good... Wonderful

Nana Mar 10 2022 5:10 am Wtf.... I can accept sad ending drama, there are many dramas with sad ending but still good. but not for this one. Sihyun doesn't deserve it, so does hyunsoo. They should be alive till the end ㅠㅠ

So, this drama is on my watching list for years.. Like fckng long time. But I just got a chance to watch it. Actually it's a good drama, even though I watch it in 2022, but you know I think old drama always give us strong vine and feeling. But yeah, the minus is there are many stupid scenes, and min hon gi' character is totally ridiculous lol.

Anna Jan 09 2022 7:03 am I’m on episode 9 and I don’t know whether to continue or not. The female lead, I don’t like her character. Kind of confusing and irritating, easy girl? Idk. Lol

Ciepao May 15 2021 2:56 am The actors and actresses that plays the character in this drama are amazing, I just don't feel the story/plot of the drama that much. I don't think it's boring, I just don't get interested in this drama(?). I mean I watched it until episode 10. But after ep 11 I slowly lose my interest and start skipping some scenes until I finished it. In my opinion, this drama is full of dramatic (?) gangsters and cops lol.

I'll give it a 5/10. I can't really give a long review about this drama since I didn't watch it that 'faithfully'.

jkhily Aug 07 2020 12:22 pm kyungho looks super baby in here but super muscular and full of charisma?? a drama with loads of mindblowing things happening

Ivana Aug 06 2020 8:36 am One of the best kdrama! Must watch ?

ste Jul 07 2020 7:33 am busan's henchman is at your side in image 71, the police officer is in image 66 in a white blouse, and would you also like to know the name of the actor who plays the policeman who is an informer for kim hyun-soo? he is wearing a light coat in image 9

ste Jul 07 2020 7:16 am does anyone know the name of the actress who plays the police officer who was shot in the leg? she was responsible for hacking. And also the name of the actor who was busan's henchman? busan hurt his hand

des May 26 2020 2:59 am I wish there had been more interaction between shi hyun and soo min. their chamistry was so good

Number7 Apr 09 2020 7:36 pm Forever Best and Hottest Kdrama Kiss Ever!! Damn!...So sexy??? The chemistry between!!!FIRE!!!

Karai Feb 01 2020 10:21 am This is still one of the best series I have seen. Well written and acted. It was a bit on the violent side, and dark, but so good. Definitely worth watching.

YONDAIME Aug 09 2019 11:39 am omg this is the saddest most tragic kdrama ive seen...

Doctors daughtern May 21 2019 12:14 pm I really really loved that drama since 2014. I watch it every year. Every time I watch it I feel new feeling, new emotional. I have never watched drama like that. IT dooes not feel like just drama. It feels like really real. I am so amazed with this drama. OMG. Every time I see it I cry and at the end of this drama I want to wake him alive Jung Kyung Ho. He is the masterpiece.Their acting is so real. Even I know this is just a movie, I want to believe it was real happened thing and there was a Doctor's son in real life. I love Jung Kyung ho more than Iron man.

Misha Apr 08 2019 4:59 am Jung Kyung Ho’s masterpiece! I am a fan

Rina Aug 28 2018 2:18 am This is next on my list :) Currently on Jung Kyung Ho's marathon. I really love him :)

Krisstina May 14 2018 3:49 am Jung Kyoung-Ho was amazing as always! Such a great actor! Great drama, very emotional.

Nasta Apr 07 2018 5:37 am Really good drama!!! So many twist. Great storyline+directing+acting. Superb! Hands up for Jung Kyung Ho.

sasaeng_fan Mar 31 2018 9:04 pm One of the best action dramas of Jung Kyoung-Ho! Thrilling!

whynot Feb 19 2018 2:06 pm excellent drama!

Mary Jan 13 2018 2:04 am Such a great drama that hits me to the bones! Highly recommended!!!! Remarkable piece of work indeed!

Deborah Nov 28 2017 3:32 pm I am thoroughly enjoying this drama. I have watched a couple of dramas with Jung Kyoung-ho, which is what brought me here. I am convinced he is an amazing, versatile, under rated actor. The assemble of actors for this drama, do a great job as well. Wonderful music score adds to the overall brilliance of Heartless City.

Arihant Jul 08 2017 9:25 pm Jung Kyoung Ho was the leading man of my first kdrama "beating again" and I was really keen to watch his other work. Had heard a lot of praises about this one and decided to watch though am not a fan of the genre(melodramas/cops/gangsters)

First things first, hear the ost prior to watching this -it is one of best kdrama osts I have heard (and I have heard many)and it puts you in the right mood for this drama. The song "Hurt"will remain with you.

The story takes some time to be set up but once it is done, it is a thrilling ride. Great twists abound in this game of betrayals, dual identities, unexpected love.

The romantic OTP looks fresh and endearing. The action scenes are well executed and you remain in constant fear for our protagonists well being

One of the best action/drama/romance shows ever made. Kudos to the team.

AJ Jun 14 2017 4:00 pm It was great, every episodes are worth watching for although I never expected that the ending would be that harsh still, it was amazing that it left me in awe and I definitely think that the ending made the story unique and outstanding. It would take a right measument of action, friendship, family, romance, trust, and conflicts to make such an enormous and one of a kind drama and I can say that Heartless City has it all. I have cried a lot, this gave me a really huge impact. Thumbs up!

evanessa Apr 15 2017 4:41 am The senario was perfect.But the ending,i don't like it.NO HAPPY END...

- Jan 20 2017 5:35 am does anyone know what's the relationship between kyung mi and shin hyun ? so curious. P/s : im skipped this drama a little bit bc the storyline is so long

Maria Garcia Oct 23 2016 7:01 am I love Jung Jyoung-Ho, I first saw him in Beating Again, I love his acting as well as the series. I recently discover Korean series in Netflix and I'm hooked, love the special effects in Descendants of the Sun but moreover I like the acting.

a male viewer Oct 21 2016 9:34 am This was an exciting one. It's dark, and i like that in a tv series. Overall, it's not very memorable, and the story is pretty simple. But it will keep you entertained throughout each episode, and it's sort of believable. I would expect the drug world to be like this.

The male lead is very well executed, and it's hard not to have a shred of homolust for him. Reccomended.

Suhos Wife Oct 02 2016 5:40 pm I just finished this drama. Man I cried a bucketload of tears. I have watched A LOT of kdramas and even though for most dramas, if trey have an ending I didn't like, I end up hating it.... not with this one. Yes I hated the ending but I loved the rest of the 19 episodes too freaking much to hate it all. So if you're hesitant about watching since you've heard we all hated the ending, watch it bc believe me you will not regret it!! This is a definite must watch.

Migthy Thor Jul 08 2016 9:11 pm After seeing Lee Jae-Yoon did the swimming, judo and volleyball in the sports variety show Cool Kiz On The Block, I became interested in him as an artist so I started searching his movies and dramas and so I chance upon this one - heartless city. I have no regrets watching this drama. Very well done. For lovers of crime, suspense, action, thrilling, mystery and a bit of romance dramas, I highly RECOMMEND this HEARTLESS CITY! Brilliant story, Very Good action stunts, Artistic directorial job, and FABULOUS LEAD and SUPPORTING ACTORS - Jung Kyoung-Ho, Lee Jae-Yoon, Son Chang-Min, Choi Moo-Sung and Yoon Hyun-Min !

CONGRATULATIONS to ALL the cast, crew and staff of HEARTLESS CITY (",)

Mya Jun 27 2016 10:35 pm Or that min Hong-kin is the real puppeteer and he set all of them up against each other for personal gain or something.

Mya Jun 27 2016 10:29 pm I feel like all the bad guys are actually just undercover cops trying to catch each other ;:D

Marie Jun 15 2016 2:16 am Wow! I really love this drama! It's amazing! Each episode are really interesting! The story is really great! This is the best drama ever! Second is Two Weeks! Thumbs up to the cast and production staff especially to the writer! I really like Jung Kyoung-Ho! He's very handsome and woman dreamed! He's really cute! The way he act he's really a man! I love him so much! I hope you can visit here in the Philippines!

whynot May 28 2016 12:05 am very good drama. so different form the usual k-dramas. powerful performance by Jung Kyoung-Ho.

yemi Ogabi Apr 13 2016 6:12 pm amazing movie such strong feels, i actually got bored of korean drama but this hooks me in. inlove with this movie crying bucket of tears ending was too much for me , damn.

popo Mar 14 2016 9:35 pm his drama is soo good but i think it gets a lil bit draggy at towards the end. BUT do WATCH it . I like how they have romance but didnt focus to much on it. As for the ending its not a happy ending but its a GOOD ending.

John Mar 10 2016 11:13 pm Fantastic series! Unfortunately, I felt the final episode was disjointed compared to the rest of the season. It felt rushed, unfocused, and as if they decided to redundantly kill off a few characters for the sake of closure, albeit one that was unsatisfactory in my view.

Maybe i just wanted a happy ending. Everyone seems to have gotten the short end of the stick. I just finished watching the season, so maybe i am just annoyed at how they handled the ending. Sun-soo should have shown up and taken revenge, thus saving our beloved hero from his fate.

Beansprout Feb 25 2016 10:24 pm wow! im in episode 5 and I already decided that It will be one of my favorites... full of action,intense drama and many revelation. im shock on what happen to Gyung mi then the real job of Doctors son.... jaw dropping revelation. haha....looking forward for the next episode.. good job guys.. Oh i wonder why its not that popular. I think its more good than the other korean dramas in 2013.. But anyway... Im so glad I started to watch this series... Doctors Son was hot... :)

Pchan Feb 22 2016 11:23 am Best drama ever, great story each episode from ep 1 till finished , love it.

Rynia Feb 14 2016 9:28 am What happened to kyung ho in the end? It is happy ending or not? i like kyung ho and watch his drama if he be a hero.

Lady Feb 12 2016 2:17 pm T_T awesome but

nvoadndov Jan 24 2016 3:32 am Can't STOP thinking about this AWESOME drama......I literally dreamed of Jung Shi-Hyun the other night.....sexy man, keep it up *thumbs up*

Mariana D. Dec 12 2015 3:18 pm I lived every moment and cried like crazy at final. It's one of my favourites drama ever. And I'm a big fan of k-dramas and watched a LOT of them.

kaya Oct 18 2015 3:52 am I vote this the best kdrama. Congratulations to the actors!

Ebial Oct 03 2015 1:41 pm This is why I don't watch this kind of apocaliptic dramas...don't watch if you don't like to cry... But I watched because of the romance..and kinda dissapointed to be true, angry too...honestly, I wouldn't watch it again but whenever I'll remember it or listen to the OST I will cry. This was a good drama but my heart wasn't prepared..

So as a reference...not trying to spoil but if you don't want to waste ur time to get angry and dissapointed and sad in the end don't watch. If you don't have any drama on ur list and u're bored, watch it..after one or two eps u will get addicted.

abigailbasao Sep 06 2015 11:00 am OMG! getting addicted with kyoung ho after fall in love with soon jung! ts like all his dramas and movies and interviews id like to watch them alll!!! whoaaa!!! hahahaha whoaaa!!!!

Josh Sep 06 2015 12:16 am Oh I love the cast, the dynamic, the flow, this drama is a true emotional roller coaster!

Some parts seem to be reeled out too much but that's okay. Hoping for a clearer and better ending though. :(

What happen to Shi Hyun and Soo Min? And Jin Sook noona? Can't Jin Sook just be alright with Shi Hyun and Soo Min and act as a noona? :(

The amount of killing is top of the line and the bad guy is really bad and wicked to the point that you want to punch your screen straight on. And the heartbreaking scene makes me so mad that I literally punched everything around me.

Season 2 please jebal jebal jebal!

I still can't move on from this and the OST is on reply now. :(

Bernadette Aug 06 2015 1:35 pm Awesome Drama. Should have won multiple awards. Those that vote for Drama of the Year is crazy for not voting for this one. Soundtrack is the bomb!

Daniel Aug 03 2015 7:42 am Awesome but sad so many people sacrificed and dead (even doc son assistant/driver that went as undercover and pitiful scale who did a big 360 turn to help doc) in the end.

Big question mark that never explained is what kind of affection or love that Jin-Sook having for Shi Hyun? It is not blood relationship so I am guessing between men and women? What kind of realtionship in the past for Jin-Sook and Min Hong Ki in the past? Moon loved Jin Sook for sure lol she such a female fatale.

So many thing left unexplained. What happen to congressman Cha? Her daughter had given up on Hyeong Min lol? How about both of the Moon assistant? Prosecutor Ahn? Hmm...

I don't see the need for season 2 its already great as it is and it would be no fun without our Soo bromance anyway kkk...

Kim Na Na Jun 28 2015 9:50 pm

Shi Hyun not Won ^^

oh now I saw the end that he's alive

Kim Na Na Jun 28 2015 9:47 pm WOW! What a great drama! Every episode is so exciting! OMG! Couldn't stop watching! The lead characters acted so good! It's cool that Soo and Shi Won acted in the new drama "Falling for Innocence" again. ^^ I don't think there'll be a 2nd season, since Shi Won died.

mariankata Jun 18 2015 7:01 pm The drama was awesome... hope there is a second season.

But what really happened in the end??? I am going crazy over the light suit scene!!!

Pat May 31 2015 10:59 pm I adore it, addicted to it. Sooooo much! Request 2nd season !

Jo May 02 2015 12:41 am Is he dead!! There is a scene he stand alone in the end with talking via a cellphone ....this drama is awsomeee..ILove it adore it ...doctor's son..the script..the actors ..all of it such a great work..I wish for another season ...

hi Apr 11 2015 3:36 am I just want to know, will there ever be a sequel?because of the ending scene

rouge Apr 10 2015 4:06 pm if there is anyone who knows a drama similar to this, please let me know.

Rouge Apr 06 2015 12:26 am This is the first drama I have watched in my 20years that no matter the ending I love it to death. I usually REALLY hate dramas that have this kind of ending (no spoilers sorry, it's really good tho watch the drama), but I swear no jokes -serious face- this drama is something you can't hate. SO just know that I hate dramas like this but i don't hate this one and I have watched it a total of 3 times, plus re-watched all of it today even tho i have exams. This drama is intense, emotional (a great deal), romantic, and omg the action <3. 1000x better then city hunter personally. THIS DRAMA IS DARK AND INTENSE! BEST DRAMA EVER WATCH IT!!!!

shaginee Mar 24 2015 7:46 am another awesome drama i've ever watched!! the storyline and the cast's act are sooo good.. fall in love imedieately with jung kyung hoo.. and also love yoon hyun min's acting.. he is soooo good for such a newbie that time. great drama ♥♥♥

heinrich enja yram Mar 04 2015 12:06 am This is my first time to comment !! But I love watching Korean drama since 2002 until now . All I can say its great .. amazing character with gullible cast ..lol. I love watching then Jung kyong ho is my favorite one actors and Lee jae won ko na un .. guys keep it up . And more power ...

batrizy Feb 13 2015 8:07 am I think sans Kyungmi, this drama should left out the romance. The supposedly love between shihyun and soomin seem do sudden and out of nowhere, atleadt develop their feelings better.

Watching it for the bromance & Soo colorful suits.

the killer Eunsoo character was so messed up in later episodes. I mean we get it that she's been forced into sexual acts with Director or is it Chairman Jo but why the sudden personality change. I also hated how the antagonist would always lost to the main cast, I mean one skinny Dov vs 10+ people. And don't make me rant on how slow Eunsoo get so slow after being mauled by Doc in the face and didn't contact Safari or Meth Kim. Jinsook being a better fighter than Eunsoo is also ridiculous, sure Jinsook a drug ringleader and street smart but Eunsoo made her living as a killing and have beaten numerous gabgster by her own (unlike Jinsook who depends on her bodyguard or Doc(.

But the biggest mess in this shows is Soomin closet. High heels during a mission, and not even the chunky heels or wedges type.

Fizza Feb 07 2015 9:45 am It was one of the best dramas i have ever seen but there is one thing i am against why they killed doctor's son at the end...I was so disappointed after watching the last episode :( ... Why does most of the Korean dramas don't have happy ending??

ri hyo Sep 18 2014 10:07 pm This is my first time comment on this page, and i dedicated this to Cruel City screenwriter-nim... This is totally the best crime drama i have watched... The storyline and acting SUPERB! I juz finish watching this drama and can't get over of it... So, plez screenwriter-nim.. MAKE SEASON 2 ! I hope to see more story about shi hyun, soo min, hyung min. This season is successful as noir, for season 2 crime- romance would be nice. I really want a happy ending for shi hyun soo min ~-~ Plez consider it.. with the same cast, the same team, the same action packed drama ! I'm have been your fans.. keep on good work & HWAITING ^^

lenimoz Aug 29 2014 4:33 am One of the best Kdramas I've seen. Fantastic story, cast and one of the best soundtracks I've heard in a really long time. Jung Kyung Ho, Kim Yu-Mi and Choi Moo-Sung were really believable and can make you feel their emotions. I really reccommend to watch it, you will not regret it.

scb Aug 22 2014 11:10 am This was an under-rated but out of the ball park home run of a drama. Cruel City is one of my all time favorites. The screenwriter Yoo Sung-Yeo hit a home run with this drama. Yoo Sung-Yeo created a strong and intriguing plot-platform that any actor delivering the lines rote, would shine, but having Kyoung-Ho, MooSung, and Hyun-Min just shot the quality to the moon. The camera work and the choreography of the fight scenes made you feel the intensity (ducking and cringing). The attention to detailing the underbelly of the drug world (at times) felt more like a raw undercover documentary. The emotions of all the actors were true, visceral and convincing, Jung Kyoung-Ho was fascinating to experience his emotions come across his face, accemt that with his suave graceful demeanor (007 debonair) and Lord have mercy I was 100% immersed. This is a must watch, one of Kdramas best. I will be looking out for more works by this author. @nd season plz.

mhh na Apr 23 2014 6:52 pm It was indeed a good drama. A lot of action, beautifull actors wearing beautifull clothes, not a boring moment at all. They almost made me wanna become one of them :P. Priceless! Those true, hard, full of emotions lives they had here...i felt the joy, the pain and hate along with them . Very talented cast. Their faces were so expresive! Moon Deok-Bae and Lee Jin-Sook, these are 2 caracters that i won't forget too soon. Special. Definitely there should be a second season. The chemistry between Jung Shi-Hyun and Han Soo-Min is great. Mh actually ...verrrry good. the kissing scenes...perfect! one does not doubt their feelings. Love the lines and of course I hate Min Hong-Ki :))). The music? Congratulations! . And the singer's voices...like the movie's second skin! Still listening to them right now. Jung Kyoung-Ho....I've seen him before. Always amazing and beautifull. I love what he brings to the character :) I like happy endings but this drama really tingled my taste buds! :)

Shanz Mar 08 2014 12:25 pm Amazing drama....thumbs up to Jung Kyoung-Ho's acting.Just loved main characters and bgm...simply awesome

Shay Mar 07 2014 8:21 pm An AMAZING drama! Great actors! Jung Kung Ho has got to be one of my favorite actors.

Reira Feb 22 2014 6:29 pm This is undeniably one of the best dramas I've ever watched, it has everything: the story, the characters, the side characters, the music, the filming techniques... It was an extraordinary experience, from start to finish. Btw, the end is neither happy nor tragic, but rather half realistic, half mysterious. It's a drama I like to compare with Time Between Dog and Wolf and even Infernal Affairs. Genius!

Gage Feb 21 2014 11:55 am Best kdrama ive ever seen. Only a few parts of the acting on gyu ris part could of been a little better but it was fantastic. Moo sung was so dynamic is this show. Great story. As much as I wish the romance side was a bit better, id rather have a great overall story then a story buried under puppy love romance.

Levi Jan 20 2014 5:32 pm Season 2 please :)) Nam Gyu Ri and Jung Kyoung ho, i will see both together again *-*

dadz Jan 04 2014 9:51 pm . . . .actually, when i first watched it, i think i love it that much. but i was wrong . . . .i couldn't wrap my mind from the flow of the story . i think the writers have overdone the story . .its so stuffed of problems. i just don't like it .but it's worth a try though . . .

Lizzy Payne Jan 04 2014 4:36 pm This drama is GREAT seriously ! When I was at the middle of the drama, I came and read the comments of others here... I was disapointed cause I don't really like sad endings... but I was allready addicted to it xD this is one of those drama you watch even thou you know the end of it ♥ Give it a try ! You'll not be disapointed !

Hannah Dec 13 2013 2:29 am Honestly, a lot of Korean dramas piss me off nowadays, but Cruel City has got to be my all time favorite. I fell in love with it so easily and I love the cast. Everyone did amazing acting, especially Jung Kyoung Ho. I seriously loved the action scenes and music in this drama. And not to mention, I think the bed and kiss scene in Cruel City was the most perfect and hottest kiss scene of all time compared to all the Korean dramas I've watched. It wasn't awkward like the other dramas. I definitely recommend!! :)

Amanda Nov 14 2013 9:26 pm Wow... Just one of the best of this with Queen of Ambition and Secret, it was very catchy and have an excellent cast. I hope a second season.

Drama101 Nov 10 2013 5:32 pm At first, I started watching this drama because I had literally nothing to do during the holidays and I had already downloaded this series. In the first episode, I was like okay, why am I watching this? Then I slowly, but surely got intrigued by the plot so I started watching it more intensely. By the end of the second episode I was bewitched by how fascinating the whole show was that I watched it day and night! I haven't finished watching it yet, but it definitely was worth watching so far!

Spoiler Alert!!!!!!!!

The only sad thing was killing off Kyung Mi at the beginning of chapter 4 :( I miss her!

samy12 Nov 02 2013 5:26 am This Drama is beyond amazing One of the best It's a must see

Sunny Oct 17 2013 7:17 pm Every second of this drama was worth watching. There was never a point I felt bored. I anticipated every second and once it ended, I felt a bit empty despite all the emotions that swept over me as I watched this series. I wanted more of Jung Shi Hyun, Soo, Jin Sook, Ji Hyung Min, and Moon Duk Bae. They were the ones who left the deepest impression on me. I didn't care much for the romance because this wasn't what the drama was about, anyway. This drama was amazing. It was heartbreaking, yet I still love it.

Remeechan Sep 30 2013 4:19 pm Awesome,, Amazing,, Daebaaak ~~~ Totally recommended.

ana Sep 01 2013 12:29 pm this is just great!..I'm hoping/wishing for a second season just like vampire prosecutor.,

angie Aug 16 2013 9:42 am the only word to describe this drama is ''amazing'' this is indeed the best drama of the year. i read from reviews about the tragic ending, for the first time it didn't stop me from watching. this is a must watch for all. amazing amazing and amazing.

xrutti Aug 14 2013 7:24 am I wish to see season 2 , but with the main guy too!!

sweetdramas Aug 13 2013 3:29 pm I wish there was season 2, BUT is has to be the main guy though or else....Hm....? idk if i'll watch it.

sweetdramas Aug 13 2013 3:27 pm OMG!!!! this has got to be one of the best drama ever!!! I don't really like dramas with drugs and gangster. No matter what I just can't keep up at with it. My attention span is probably up to 2/3 eps, but dang! this one was awesome!!!

OH and the main dude it to die for!!! Just to good looking! I dreamed of him after watching this. LOLOLOL

paper Aug 08 2013 11:15 am I love love love loved this drama :) Totally recommend it to all. I don't get why people are calling it a "melodrama" but its far from that~ its so much more. It is by far the best kdrama I have watched in 2013. The plot was so tight, the characters were superbly utilised and the acting & directing was FANTASTIC. For people who are craving something to fill the empty void check out Banshee (US tv-show) & Two weeks the new kdrama.

Anywho~ the only thing that I didn't fully enjoy was the last episode... oh and all the censoring BS that went on (there better be a fracking boxset of this coming out for me to purchase! preferably blu-ray release~ i'm even willing to fork out money for the super expensive japanese release [prays to the powers that be that there will be one]). I'm all for what they did but it would have been more meaningful if they gave.... the proper sendoff. Then again I think they pulled a Vampire Prosecutor on us and all is well with the world. I really hope thats what they did... it sure as heck looked/felt like it.

Oh and this show is best watched in one go~ you really really really need to have all episodes on hand otherwise you will be pulling your hairs out ;o Oh and have lots of tissues on hand and Hot chocolate or preferred alcohol of choice.

pearl Aug 06 2013 6:33 pm JKH became "Polat Alemdar"!

reza Aug 04 2013 5:17 pm wow , beautiful ... :(

lillia Aug 03 2013 10:15 pm I loved this drama very much! The story line was interesting and each episode had some surprise element. I agree with others that they could've done a better job with Soo Min. I personally liked her acting but her character needed more depth. I liked that in this drama they equally showed the weakness and strength of the lead.I also wish they didn't kill the lead...it's showing a pattern in all dramas now. Anyways, LOVED every single actor in this drama and i vote this the best drama of 2013!!! <3

gora Aug 02 2013 11:35 pm This is the best drama for 2013. Its my number 1 korean drama of all time! Love it for JKH's superb acting. Love it for the great actors, cinematography, tight directing. Over all what a wonderful drama. Absolutely fantastic. No words can describe the beauty of this drama!!! Thanks jtbc for giving as a drama of superb quality! LOVE IT!

lembukamu Aug 02 2013 1:02 pm the best of kdrama 2013 HEARTLESS CITY.... I am very saddened by the final episode,I hope final episode happy endding... ihope next season still hero and heroin hc 2013....

ruby Aug 02 2013 12:02 am hate the ending. tx

Diena Jul 31 2013 7:19 pm I loved nam gyu ri in this drama. She is so pretty. I want to see nam gyu ri and jung kyung ho in another drama or movie together because in this show ı could not see love :( I was n waiting love actually . What ever tis drama is awesome. I didn't like the final episode. İt is normal. I really hate ending all kdramas. Writers can t able to write final episodes ı guess :)

addylovesbwood Jul 31 2013 6:04 pm Hope it's not too early to call this 2013's best drama!!

Razon Jul 31 2013 4:25 am I watched cruel city IN 1 DAY! I fell in love with the main actor because he did an amazing job and he really pulled me in to watch more of it! I wish it didn't end the way it did ..... Sometimes we need a happy ending .... too bad we didn't get one here :) I really enjoyed watching this drama

Lena Jul 30 2013 5:46 pm Heartless/Cruel City was DAEBAK!

I just wished they had made the ending stronger because Shi-Hyun had suffered so much. I felt he deserved better! Hopefully a CC Season 2 but has to be same characters.

CC and Shark finale just made me sank. =( But I still love both dramas and totally recommended. =)

Desire Jul 30 2013 5:18 pm Tonight, I finished watching two nice dramas –SHARK and HEARTLESS CITY- they both had nice stories and ended up so sad but also lovely. I really feel good when the dramas I love most end in a way I enjoy. SAD or HAPPY ending doesn’t matter for me, I just care about how my beloved heroes may end up. Kim Nam-Gil (Yi-Soo), Jung Kyung-Ho (Shi-Hyun) and Yoon Hyun-min (Hyun-Soo) acting was superb and touching.

Queen13 Jul 30 2013 1:44 pm I didn't expect a good ending but I was hoping for a decent one at least

The ending leaves alot of questions. The writer shouldn't have ended it like that. So many deaths!!!  And *spoiler**********our favorite character too. Doc.

choi Jul 27 2013 7:39 pm such a waste its getting boring toward the ending

Kelly Tan Jul 25 2013 8:43 am It's the best Korean drama in 2013. Can't wait until next week to see ep 19 & ep 20. Jung Kyung Ho is the best actor in 2013

Laura Jul 20 2013 5:30 pm This drama is awesome , ı love watching it but ı need more romance please :) I was waiting a love triangle (between soo min hyang min and shi hyun) but it won t be happen I guess :( Last 4 episodes and I have a hope to see more romance. Crime crime crime when it s will be end ?

chaca Jul 19 2013 9:23 pm really like this dramaa,, shin hyung and han soo min i hope happy ending :)

Lana Jul 18 2013 5:25 pm I loved this drama! Jung Kyung Ho is the best actor ı have seen ! I watched him in Smile.You too . But in this drama he is really different and cool. Nam Gyu Ri I loved her acting too! (I wont say something about her beauty because everybody Knows it) Best couple ever . They havent have many screen times like another kdrama couples but them chemistry , ıt makes me addicted to this drama. Last 4 episodes. I would more screen time for this couple please!

setareh Jul 17 2013 4:15 pm Jung Kyung Ho is the best his acting ..make me so suprize...

i like his character hee soo powerful react and actor in this drama i liked him :-*

tasha Jul 17 2013 6:02 am This is the BEST DRAMA EVER for 2013 Jung Kyung-Ho really did his best n manage to bring the character alive and other actors n actress too did an amazing job....I really like how they leave the audience wandering what's happening next in each and every episode....It is a well plan drama...Thanks to all the production team and cast 4 the great work <3

Alafe Jul 17 2013 12:02 am i usually don't comment here but i just have to say 'Cruel City" is the most impressive drama in 2013. Others are so alike..........

CICI Jul 16 2013 9:54 am I LOVE "CRUEL CITY"! It's exciting, has gripping twists and turns, fantastic acting and the best music ever!! If you like action balanced with mystery, emotion and some great martial arts scenes from Jung Kyung Ho, I think you'll love this as much as I do. I also think that Nam Gyu Ri was perfectly cast as an inexperienced undercover cop and she is beautiful and "believable" in her acting along with so many others. I look anxiously look forward to each week's episodes.

vannyrath Jul 16 2013 4:20 am i'm really like this drama ,Great drama 2013 ,love Nam Gyu Ri and Jung kyung ho !!!!!!!!!!!!! heartles city ( FIGHTING ) the best drama...........................

Dalal Jul 15 2013 12:01 pm This drama makes me speechless.. The brilliance of the story, the excellent performance of all the cast, the breath taking direction and the strong dialoges all of these make me speechless every time I watch a new episode. One of the best dramas in 2013..love it love it . I am an Arabic viewer who fell in love with korean dramas and korean people . Chommal kamsahaminda hankok saram dul..sarangaheyo

Nam Gyu Ri Jul 13 2013 3:59 pm I started this drama because of Nam Gyu Ri. I thinking like that:Eventually smart woman in korean drama. But I was disappointed. Writer doesn t care her character. Just ı want to say something, lead role is not just jung kyung ho. I want to see smart yoon soo min. Whatever, still like this drama .

Nidnoi Jul 08 2013 9:13 am Great drama of the year 2013. Jung kyung ho is so awesome. His acting is really great. In the right time he can choose the very good drama when he came back the military. I hope he will choose the good drama for his next role like this.

Siska Jul 07 2013 9:33 am Just a few months ago I look at Korean series, but it's perfect for me ... Fast, exciting, great actors! Like it...

cha Jul 06 2013 10:47 am really like his drama,, :)

nice Jul 04 2013 9:24 pm I just wish they can extend this drama with 4more episode that will be very enjoyable, for a long time i have never feel like this about Korean drama.hope for a happy ending so that when it ends i can come back and rewatch it again. good for you screenwriter I think you know what you are doing just give us a happy ending that will keep this drama a memorable one,which you can always recommend to any one who wishes to watch a good drama, please no sad ending.

Thandy Jul 03 2013 9:12 am I absolutely love this drama , can't wait until the next episode . The lead is so awesome.

astrijjj Jul 02 2013 10:14 pm arggh..can't wait for next monday ep.13..doctor know identity yoon so min,that made me crazy x.x

Nana Jun 29 2013 6:21 pm the best drama i have seen this year so far, i love the characters, plot and how every week it leaves you with wanting to see more. i specially love the twist on episode 10 gosh who would have imagined that. But what i am wondering more is how Shi-Hyun going to escape. I guess i'll just have to wait for Monday. For any one that is reading this i swear to you that if ur thinking of watching this drama u wont regretted trust me, this drama is full of surprises and intense feelings. You shouldn't miss it. Can't wait for Monday :(

elicit Jun 12 2013 6:35 am This show is on a whole 'nother level!

Lee Re Na Jun 12 2013 12:36 am One of the best dramas out there. Seriously, I never thought I would enjoy this drama so much until I finished the first episode. The best thing about it, is that it continues to be entertaining, you never get bored, plus Jung Kyung-Ho is so hot and badass. I love the fact that this drama is so different then any other drama I've watched.

I am seriously obsessed with this drama and can't wait for the new episoded!

eun won Jun 08 2013 4:44 pm i like the ending song, what the title of the song?

DC Jun 08 2013 11:17 am This show is amazing. It's on a whole different level. It gives you a different feel and vibe. I feel like even if this show didn't have a romance angle Doc son would have carried it all the way. This drama best of the year. Best Kdrama in my opinion.
