I so wanted to see this! I am so disappointed!

They can't cancel this now! Not when it finally looks like Kim Hyun Joong is capable of forming almost-expressions! It took him years for this! XD I want to see it now.

Really bad news to read I wanted to see this show, let's
hope the situation will be better any time some maybe with
another network...I don't want this show to be released as a dvd only....

oh no....but why can't they broadcast it when the drama has a very popular star like Kim Hyun Joong??

I feel bad for the cast and crew :(
Is Kim Hyun Joong popular in Korea? I know he's very well liked in Japan, hence the investment from Japan in this show. I know some stars have enough credential and reputation to get their shows on air, but I guess those are very few.

I do hope that the production company did not get their funding from the Yakuza. What would Anthony Kim do?

I've never watched Kim Hyun Joong except for some sneak peaks of BOF, but I always feel like, with the right project, director, and dedication on his part, he can be better than Lee Min Ho. I just hope he can catch a break.

"What Anthony would do?": Donnapie has to do a meme with that line.
"You can live-shoot or you can pre-produce, but you sure as heck can’t do both." Hot mess indeed.
"Are we going to see it aired on some random cable channel, cut up into twenty-minute installments, and aired as a daily sitcom now?" I've been burnt with FH2. Never again.

What is this show even about? And wwwwwwwwhy would you just start filming and worry about the broadcasting later?

I'm a fan of pre-production but looked what happened to What's Up...

Are the producers not business men? Do they not understand the concept of sunk costs?

ISN'T Kim Hyun Joong popular in Korea? I thought he is already a Hallyu star. I know he's well known in the Philippines. I guess, I'm just surprised this question is being asked.

What's up was a good preproduced show ... paradise ranch, not so much. I don't have high hopes lol. But yeah, pitch it to other stations wtf? Confused about that..

I can't believe this! I mean, recently we were watching like a dark cloud on top of this dorama, but I was hoping it was still going to be aired, and I still do. I won't loose my hope until 17th or an official statements says it is cancelled :(

ummm...

I still don't understand the difference between pre-produced and live shoot :s (could be cause I'm kinda new to doramas and all...) somebody kind enough to explain this to me? pretty please?? xD

Totally reminds me of the track in KoD when Anthony was trying so hard to get the time slot for his drama. *puts on What Would Anthony Do? bracelet*

I am surprised by the news. I was under the impression that KHJ was extremely popular in Asia. Some Idols with equal or lesser acting skills have had popular dramas on the main channels. Also, I believe he was appearing on a drama after a long interval so many fans were eagerly waiting for the drama. The fault cannot totally be blamed on him. Surely there are other unknown factors in play.
Whatever the reasons, I would have watched at least few episodes if it was aired.

I am surprise at the news! BUT I have a feeling that another network will air it ... maybe in cable. One of this networks will see the $$$ wise they will make. This drama was sold to other countries just by name alone when Kim Hyun Joong sign to do it.

IF this is a good drama or not ... it won't be the first bad one to air (*.~)

His lack of acting talent and previous drama being a complete flop might have something to do with this choice. Though it's unfair to put the blame only on him. KBS just isn't that into you City Conquest.

Oh gawd. I hope they are not going to pull a Poseidon. Having that "what it could have been feeling" in the back of your mind while watching the drama is never a good thing.

I love how any conversation about behind the scenes drama of a drama goes back to Anthony...

I didn't think this drama will have trouble Herron a slot because compared to FH Take 2, this looks much better.. Superficially speaking.

Can someone explain what happened with Full House 2?

isnt it weird that everything the we hear about a drama...we now equate to WWAD (what would anthony do) hahaha

If they want to sell this drama they will make KHJ 
a nudist mute gigolo. Lots of actions scenes, a few bed scenes, tons of shower scenes and no dialogue.

I hope this drama will airing soon, i want to see Kim Seung Woo even it just a few episode. :D

His actung is amazing! After reading Hana Yori Dango (BoF) i realized he did a perfect protrayal of Rui (Ji Hoo) like perfect!! In PK i think i also portrayed the arrogant jerk really well too! It didnt gwt high ratings but it became really popular overseas, even YouTube launched a mini sequel of it. So the cancellation has nothing to do with his acting. Hes not the best, but with the right character he will be!! City Conquest at the the end will be broadcasted, i know it!

Am I the only one who thought of Namja Ramyun when EGGS were mentioned?

Hahahahaha...It didn't surprise me coz KHJ seriously cant act~!

Tell which of his characters was emotional? Ji Hoo was the serious type and Seung Jo was the ahole type. You cant expect them to suddenly burst out crying or showing extreme amounts of emotion. Im sure youve seem twilight, would you have rather prefered him acting as the male version if Kristen Stewart????? I know i don't ....

I never said i was a twilight fan, but mostly everyone has at least seen a movie. The actress over does absolutely everything. I think he portrayed his characters pretty well, and especially Ji Hoo, he did id exactly as he was made in the manga. Kim Hyun Joong is by far, currently, not the best but his acting is not bad either, thats my point. He did say he had not wanted to act but he also said he would like it if a good role came along, and im sure that role was in City Conquest

Finally someone who understands me :) Thats exactly what I was trying to say. He should be judged once he has tried different kinds of characters, not when hes only done 2 similar ones. And if he is anything like he was in WGM id say his acting was really good then. There was absolutely a big difference from himself and his characterals. And yeah, I agree with you but maybe theyre trying to do as much as they can before joining the army....
I hope the broadcast station changes their mind because the plot really didnt sound so bad, and plus this is his chance to show a more .... human character along with his acting skills.

Ok... this is sad news.
First of all... I just want to say that I think that KHJ's "bad actor" label is a tad bit unfair. Lets look at the roles he played and the people he was acting beside.
In BOF- He played Ji Hoo... who was such a flat character. There really wasn't much there for him to work with folks. He played an eccentric teenager who was traumatized at a tender age and has never talked or socialized much since. HOW ELSE WAS HE SUPPOSED TO ACT? lol. And he was lecond lead male to Lee Min Ho, who was playing an extremely expressve bratty rich kid who falls in love and changes his ways. That about closes the deal for any stunning acting that may or may not have happened on his part.
In PK/MK- He plays the part of a genius expressionless jerk. HEEEELLLOOO? The guy he plays is supposed to be aloof and standoffish.
KHJ got jipped in the ccasting of both of these dramas. I am not saying that he is an acting genius, I am just saying that his true acting ablity is probably not best depicted by the whopping two roles that he has played. Inexperianced coupled with the fact that the chemisty with the cast was a tad off is not really his fault. (Could anyone truly say that they could see Ji Hoo and Jan Di together as a couple?? *especially with Lee Min Ho waiting in the wings?*)
Soo producers? The smart thing to do would be to spin this as a sequel to City Hunter, tear the first couple of episodes apart and insert Lee Min Ho as City Hunter for a couple of episodes-while putting scenes with both KHJ and LMH faaaaaaarrrrrrr and few between-, come out with a couple of kick butt trailers, and start pitching it to anyone who will listen. That would probaly be one of the only ways to get this thing to air. Just make sure that KHJ is better than great because critics would have a feild day with sub par acting.

You crazy, you so crazy!

just air the DRAMA you'll never know how big it will get, besides you have one of the most big time Korean Singer/actor as the leading man what are you worried about. I don't really care about the drama I just want to see him on a Tv show it's been awhile now,it's about time to see him on a drama. I will watch it I don't care how good or bad the ratings it would be I just want to see on Televion

Kim hyun joong Mexico esta contigo.... fighting!!!

Kim hyun joong Mexico esta contigo.... fighting!!! Acabo de leer en la red una noticia KBS si pondra al aire city conquest, por fin podremos verlo. Te amo khj.

Are there any latest news about this drama I have actually been waiting for this to air.. Can't wait to see it. I hope they would take into consideration the people who have been wanting to see this drama. Many fan are getting hooked by the main actor so I hope they would release and air it as soon as possible.

Oh come on khj is a good actor. I ve only seen boys ova flowers nd i think e did gr8. I was able 2 relate with his character coz he was deep. Sometyms i think about ji hoo nd regret dat he s alone. Lee min ho got a better deal acting a brat, i mean seriously?? Dats like a typical role. Dont get me wrong, i loved city hunter, he was totally awesome. Buh dey ve had diff roles nd i cant see lee min ho playing ji hoo. He doznt seem like e has d patience or d look. I want 2 c city conquest sooo bad. Just 2 c khj again

This is messed up.... I wanted to see this drama.... Im a little disappointed that I may never see it ... Ive been hearing its because of the political issues in the drama and somethings about N. Korea.... I just feel like thats a lame excuse to not air the show... and yes their bad for not going to the other station and just relying on KBS
