Review by Me: Healer has become my top favorite action drama from 2014. It had a unique action-thriller-romance story that had a good balance of all three. The plot was solid, the pacing was perfectly balanced while never slow, and the characters were so natural. The acting by the ENTIRE was flawless. I absolutely LOVE Ji Chang Wook and Park Minyoung here, and.. Shout out to Kim Mi Kyung! She was seriously amazing as the skilled hacker

3. Pinocchio
Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes
Pinocchio achieved 13.3% nationwide ratings and won Outstanding Korean Drama at 10th Seoul International Drama Awards.
Review by Me: Started strong, finished strong. There was a balance from family to romance to politics to media manipulation to criminality. The main element that brought freshness was the Pinocchio syndrome. It was new and unique. The moral of the story was so powerful, you can learn something from it, about reporter life, news manipulated from journalist world& the relationship between family, lover, and friend

You're All Surrounded achieved 14.2% nationwide ratings.
Review by Me: This drama was something fresh& didn't kill viewers with a cheesy romance It was so much fun with the right touch of mystery, sadness& action . There was so much tension and heart in the side investigations alone, but the main stories were more incredible and satisfying. All of the main characters were likable, which was kind of surprising considering that most dramas had many annoying characters. I loved it!
