Well I would have much preferred that the final City Hunter special-Death of Evil Saeba Ryo, and Angel Heart get a us release instead.
Well I can see this release as a good potential for:
1) Getting any of the US anime companies to license the mentioned two above. And also a re-release for city hunter based on the R2 remasters.
2) City Hunter/Angel Heart getting more anime adaptions in Japan.

So they changed the setting like they're changing the setting for Akira!

"Lee plays a former CIA operative who now works as a gun-for-hire. Park Min Young plays Ryo's love interest."
....Okay, here's a slight spoiler for people. I've watched the entire Korean drama, and he doesn't play the role mentioned. Lee Minho plays the son of a former bodyguard of the South Korean President, who was killed on a top secret mission along with 19 other soldiers by their own country. Minho is raised to get revenge against the people who formed the mission, and he winds up becoming a member of the Blue House staff (the tech section, mainly) so he can get closer to his targets, who are his real mission.
Also, character names were changed to fit the Korean setting.

I love all things City Hunter. I really liked this version, too. I was also going to say that whomever wrote this article didn't pay attention to the series. Oh well, I'm just happy to hear this news.
