Mild revenge in respects of lakron
•Story- Revenge mixed with family drama.It was kind of Mild revenge drama in respects of lakron typewell written script but becomes a little draggy with the middle.
•Acting- Prapaye as Nai was beautiful.Her face was full of naive expressions.she was perfect for the role as she seemed stupid never standing up for herself inspite of seeing the negativity of her benefator in the whole drama.
Donut pattaporn as Paul was splendid. His revenge and love were perfectly blended in the expression. His shirtless scenes was jaw dropping.
Jayeda as Pat was too nosy about every matter without knowing the depth and judging everyone superficially. She was loyal to her friend but she always threatens the doctor and pukes the secrets to Nai.
Chayapol as Dr. Kachane was a positive supporting character. But his lack of expressing his love towards Nai was unnecessary.that seemed like a filler to the story
Jeab as Netselao, Vicious vamp with beautiful face. In the beginning episodes she seemed to be a next door vamp but in the latter episodes she bombed the character of Net and made me hate her endlessly.
•Music- Osts were beautiful. Perfectly fitting the situation and scene.
•Rewatch - the romance in later episode stole the charm and for their chemistry I am gonna rewatch it again.
•Favourite scene-At jungle where Paul says sorry was the most intense scene dripped with emotions.
•Criticism-Stupidest dad paramee, not investigating whom to marry his child. He clearly sees pauls feelings for nai but not the betrayal of dan.

Must Watch for a Sweet Fluff
●HOW I CAME TO ITI had always wanted to see Dilraba Dilmurat with Yang Yang, so I had been waiting since its announcement and I really can't wait for it to finish up and then binge on one sitting. I will update the review after completing the show once again.
●STORY
The story says Diraba and Yang Yang are high schoolmates. after ten years, She is now a successful actress and he is an aerospace engineer. She meets him while playing online GAME and asks him to be his professional coach to teach the game.
●PLOT VIEW
The title gives a vibe of Esport as I had watched Kings Avatar where everyone was playing the game GLORY. The plot also kind of reminds me of The Kings Avatar and Love O2O, and we all the reason why, it's Esports Ace Actor Yang Yang. To see people from different professions and personalities coming together to make a delicate slow-burn epic romance saga IS so beautiful. It is also nice to see normal things such as finger touch can also be such a beautiful moment. It deals with professional life, insecurities, budding friendship, and romance. The plot has a lot in store for us as it is barely the 10th episode and the characters are not fully evolved. Also, some of the characters such as EX’s and Family have just minute appearances and don’t know what amazing twist they might bring. Fingers crossed for the best thing. But am highly satisfied until now with the Yang Yang work plot and Dilraba weight-conscious gamer thing.
●ACTING/CAST
Esports Ace Actor Yang Yang has mastered his skills of expression while playing games. You just can't take your eyes off.
Dilraba I had been her fan since Mr. Pride and Miss Prejudice. She is very eye-catching and in the drama, she accomplishes her role as a role of down to earth celebrity exquisitely.
their chemistry is just over the top, just a glance, and can't stop falling for them. They had been my dream pair for a long time.
●MUSIC
The opening track “Fireworks Star” is very beautiful. I like how the series opens up the track with aesthetic background incorporating the actors. Also whenever the OST plays there are lyrics popping on the screen, which seems more beautiful.
●REWATCH
Let us finish the series first, but it would be Yes since am an avid fan of the Esports genre and of course the leads.
●NOTE
Furthermore will write when the drama finishes. Also, it is highly recommended to those who loved Esports, RomCom.

Watched ep 14-18 raw
●FIRST IMPRESSIONAs a lakron watcher, the synopsis seemed very interesting, but it was a bad experience. It was Frustratingly crazy and I was crazier to even watch this. You know there is something crazy about lakrons that you don’t like but still want to watch it, it is exactly that stupid lakron.
●NOTE
I watched episodes 14 to 18 raw. because the subtitles aren't available. but as a lakron watcher for a year I was able to fully understand it. the typical lakrons have almost the same scenes and dialogues. Its a great feeling, I realized that my THAI learning has improved.
●PLOT VIEW
It's a typical lakron but yeah there is no slap/kiss thank god because that sucks. It has FL who gets involved in SML marriage and he thinks that FL has feelings for him. Whereas SFL still has not forgotten her ex that is the ML. That's what pendulum characters are, all the four leads keep going back and forth. They are engaged to one but keep on clinging to the other. SML and SFL say that they don’t receive love, but in actuality, they are not giving their full faith in the relationship.
The description of a one-night stand is written so vividly in the synopsis because it's actually a topic of great discussion. It has significance, involves all the main characters, and is very unpredictable that what actually happened that night.
fairly writing What kind of intoxication did the writer use while writing this. This was so frustrating and crazy. Everyone was hell-bent on making the wrong decision. Even though the whole truth is laid on the plate in front of them but still they chew on the lies crying as if they are sacrificing for their country. And No one tries to correct it, is more annoying.
The only good thing about this series (or any other lakron) that made me finish this was the ending. All the evil characters are punished, it feels so satisfying.
●ACTING/CAST
Pinkploy as FL has improved a lot since her previous drama. She seemed natural but she was low confident and doesn't stood for herself. She accepts all favors from people without thinking and has no stand on how people try to use her and claim their ownership over her until the end. Very saddening.
Euro as ML is handsome. His goodness was shown from the beginning but after analyzation he was a jerk, he tricks FL each time. i watched him for the first time and he is good.
Chayut and Maneesuda were the characters getting on my nerves like hell, they had no loyalty, even a dog does better than them. But they did well as actors.
Sirin, FL's sister was dirty but went on to be a good person actually feels good.
The most deserved appreciation for this drama is LUK PRUN. He just melts the hearts with his smile. Even though he is small he did things more wisely than elders.
●MUSIC
The ending track was nice, otherwise, I don’t remember any tracks playing in the scenes.
●REWATCH
I would be insane to watch this again. It was annoying at the first time itself, wont is able to take this stupidity ever again.
●FAV SCENE
Luk Prun runs away from baddies in the first episode.
Sports day at his school with Chon and Kasa .
●RECOMMENDATION
If anyone wants to watch this series, they could just skip to episode 14/ also fast forward is good. It wont give you headache.
●AFTERTHOUGHT
One should not consume alcohol to the level that you don’t remember what you did.
Women should fight for their dignity not for men. What does a physical fight actually prove? It displays their low self-esteem and the upbringing they had as we all know “Actions speaks louder than words”
In this drama, all the women can be seen fighting for a man. And all those men are jerks.
Lastly, the parents use their kids as a business bargain. This is a very wrong way of parenting. IMO all these leads grew to be jerks because of a lack of love in parenting.

Death is a sensitive topic done carefully
●“Sunrise is pretty but sunsets are prettier” I read this quote somewhere, where I had a debate about life and death. Sunrise represents life and hope to start fresh. Whereas Sunsets represent Death, where life fades away in the darkness. After living life to the fullest in the day making beautiful memories, when sunsets and all those beautiful memories shine bright with the dusky hue of the sun, making death peaceful.●I cry easily, not just to my pain but seeing others in pain too so I knew I signed up for a melancholic drama but it would be these tears of happiness and satisfaction I didn’t expect that I would use my whole box of tissue.
The melancholic death was sad but the drama with the help of team Genie put beautiful colors and send people with a smile.
●The pain, misery, suffering, and fear of losing someone we love, this K Drama series reminds us all of the fragility of life. The drama felt episodic as every patient's wish was granted in 1 or 2 episodes. But it also helped in healing the sufferings of others, who are relatives, hospital staff, team GENIE or strangers who became part of the wishes. I loved the healing storyline overall., where ML is the core, he is broken and while fulfilling all the wishes, gets healed himself slowly.
●ML, Yoon Gyeo Rye Played by Ji Chang Wook portraying an ex-convict, abused in childhood, lonely as an adult, no ambitions left, is heartbreaking. On Skin, he has tattoos, ready to physically fight, but inside he is all broken, that mental health contrast is shown superbly. His eyes just penetrate the heart, the sparkles when he cries, his cheeky curiosity, his genuine feelings were brilliant. Though I didn’t like the wardrobe, it determines he was trying to live while wearing vibrant colors. JCW can show the simpler and down-to-earth character with ease
Seo Yeon Joo played by Choi Soo Young is showing toughness outside by lifting weights, has a warm heart, and becomes ML healing genie. CSY looks innocent and tough at the same time. That nurse outfit looked adorable and I felt happy seeing her trying hard to ease out others pain.
Kang Tae Shik played by Sung Dong Il is one of my favorite senior actors. Whenever he plays positive characters I just love it, because in negative characters he is very scary.
●OST’s are healing and soft.
Part 1 “Loner” by Kim Sung Kyu is soft vibed and the lyrics are healing.
Part 5 “Halo” by Park Jinjoo is upbeat and has a warm touch of morning sunshine.
Part 9 “You and me” by TAEYEON has a soft heartwarming vibe just like when two lovers hold hands in winter.
●I would rewatch this when I would like to shed some tears.
●If you want like healing, heartwarming dramas, watch If You Wish Upon Me
If you don’t like sad and tearful dramas or want some amazing avoid this. Because it is a sad drama and has an average story.
●My favorite scene is Yoon Gyo Rye with Sonny at the beach in the first episode. It was a sad scene but it was aesthetic.
●If You Wish Upon Me is pleasant and sentimental; whether its emotions are manufactured or sincere will be in the eye of the beholder.

Lighthearted TYPICAL KDRAMA but still feels refreshing
●FIRST IMPRESSIONAs the title says BUSINESS PROPOSAL, I thought of possible Kdrama cliché I.e. contract relationship, accidental kiss, childhood trauma, boss-employee relationship, the secondary couple are leads friends and all my expectations of cliché Kdrama rom-com are fulfilled. Despite that BUSINESS PROPOSAL is heartwarming as hell.
●PLOT VIEW
My concept of love is that there is never love at first sight, it is just attraction of the outer beauty. For love to be true, it always progresses slowly, They embrace each other flaws and appreciate the charms. when the two people are destined together with each encounter loves turns into slow burn passion. Shin Ha-Ri and Kim Tae-Mu had a chance encounter but as they come to know each other they romantically fall for each other.
As the title says BUSINESS PROPOSAL, the contract relationship seemed basic for the plot development. SHR has a secret and KTM is a workaholic signing them into a contact relationship making them meet and greet and also giving out cheesy office romance. For a few episodes, KTM is seen as tsundere but ends up being warm and soft to contrast SHR's lively personality. KTM fulfilling his filial duties by getting married as his grandfather wished, he didn’t want to lose the person he likes is the most charming shows his guts and persistence as a man.
Cha Sung-Hoon and Jin Young-Seo made a pretty good secondary couple without overlapping or creating confusion in the leads' love story. They were great supporting friends.
The series is fast-paced to unveil its story in 12 episodes. despite its compact episodes, it had few unnecessary plot fillers of office people and others. The drama is lighthearted without losing its theme, and gives unexpected twists and turns in the love story of the leads.
●ACTING/CAST
Let me talk about my favorite first,
Ahn Hyo Seop as KTM, his young and slender body with sleek hairstyle was a typical Kdrama CEO character. AHS outshined his annoying expression with cold eyes. He had a playful and unpredictable personality. This is the 2nd drama of AHY I completed, in the initial episodes I didn’t recognize him, he looked super different and that makes him an amazing actor, playing a character that gives a different visual.
Kim Se Jeong as Shin Ha Ri watched her for the first time. She was a strong-willed, amazing friend. Her portrayal of Shin Geum-Hi was amusing.
The grandfather of KTM is like a big teddy bear I wanna hug. being a typical Kdrama lover he made a lasting impression.
●MUSIC
The theme music for KTM is my favorite. His gleaming eyes and fossil bird flying to the music are so apt.
Though I enjoyed the OSTs they aren't memorable as they are not played much. Unlike the other Kdrama where an OST is repeatedly played until one gets bored.
●REWATCH
I would rewatch the drama as the story is also lighthearted and the lead pair did an amazing job.
●APPRECIATION
No love triangle.
No annoying Ex.
●FAV SCENE
The lead's first blind date. (Ep 1)
●RECOMMENDATION
If you like cheesy romance, typical Kdrama with rich ML, and poor FL troup, you should watch this drama.
●AFTERTHOUGHT
Love comes in unexpected ways!!! all we need to do is persist but never pressure. If the person is meant for you they will see the love and loyalty in your persistence. If not they will feel persistence as pressure hindering their daily lifestyle.

Deze recentie kan spoilers bevatten
interesting stories had great potential whipped with great acting
1. Bandi - 8.5/10the collection of Unframed movies, begins with director Choi Moon’s soft and surreal storyline of the titular character Bandi, a teen girl who lives with her mother. mother and daughter visit the grandmother. The three of them are emotionally grieving due to Bandi's father's death. The grandmother keeps seeing her son in the house, while So Yeong (wife)doesn't talk about him, Bandi had a stammering problem for which she is also bullied.
Bandi however feels solace in her father's room and tries to talk to her mother. They both visit a forest to see fireflies(Bandi) where the mother and deceased father had promised to come. This shows they had a communication gap which is minimized when they keep on talking. While returning Bandi asks for her grandmother's number to stay in touch. The end is surreal as it ends at the same place where it started with a stronger bond between So Yeong and bandi as they talk about her father.
The character Bandi also emphasizes the title Bandi (Firefly). Just like a firefly flickers, Bandi stammers in spite of that they both bring smiles.
The scenes of the forest and park give a natural feel, whereas the restaurant gives an emotional touch. it is visually emphasizing that the movie ends where it began.
2.ReRun - 7/10
It takes us on a brief journey of a failed actor with his aunt by Son Sukku.
Soo In visits his aunt to send her off to a wedding ceremony but her health deteriorates on the way. while she gets an IV, she glimpses of her daughter. Soo In gets an urgent gig but gets uncertain. When they both reach the venue late, only a few close families are there. While he is looked down on because of having no proper success, he also feels out of place. He remains calm, fills up a food plate, and presents it to his aunt, showing his care until the end When all the others were just trying to talk.
The movie shows how an unsuccessful person is looked down. While he is the most genuine person who cares for his aunt with small gestures and doesn't really talk back. Soo-In's kind personality is all we all need to see his amazing acting skills.
3. Vote for INNO - 10/10
Park Jung Min brings the third piece which is a darker tale behind the faces of innocence. It focuses on a rigged class president election in a junior high school, where a bully manipulates an unnoticed student to win against a rich kid who uses the money to lure voters.
the intense music favors the visuals that how it was rigged and who actually won the elections. It gives a highlight of the adult political world in the form of class president election, where kids do campaigns, give speeches and bully the ones below them.
I was shocked to see the environment in class. Yes, students should have competition but here it is so unhealthy focusing on the present adult political world. All the kids gave a phenomenal performance. The music and editing are equally amazing to give an uncanny joy to watch “Vote for, I don’t Know”
4. Blue Happiness - 7/10
A clear critique of the oppressive nature of youths in present-day, Lee Je Hoons gives a bitter-sweet modern couple in “Blue Happiness”. Chan Yeong is a young man who is job hunting meanwhile working as a chauffeur and is in a live-in relationship with his girlfriend. He coincidently meets his former classmate who convinces him to do stock trading. While in the beginning, he manages to make money he falls into the loop of the stock market and incurs losses both in money and relationship.
This highlights the modern youth problem of job hunting who sometimes knowingly or unknowingly fall into these gambling games. They ruin themselves while losing money, relationships, and sometimes life too. the struggles of Chan Yeong played by Jung Hae In are the only good thing about this story. He simply connects the audience with his emotions. Story TBH is nothing special.
OVERALL
It is a good watch, by the actors, turned directors it is a good effort with liking possibly two or more short of the films. The messages within were very deep and complicated.
The performances were excellent in all.
The cinematography was amazing in all of them.
I wish to see Park Jeong Min more work as a director.
REWATCH
I wouldn't rewatch it, but I'd say if you're a commuter, you just found yourself two days' worth of entertainment

Bulgasal: Immortal Souls

Lee Joon: The villain
Horror is the last genre I pick for entertainment, I get scared easily with all the blood and ghostly immortal creatures. It had a dark aesthetic world full of monsters and Bulgasal (Immortal Creatures) which haunts, reincarnations, and curses that runs from ancient to the present.Bulgasal has an interesting plot, full of fantasy thrillers with the unpredictable story. The history is written pretty nicely with all the characters intertwined with each other but the present story writing is quite stretched and lacking. Every episode is interesting and has a twist but sometimes the questions that arise with the twist remain unanswered in the Plot loops and I watched the next episode expecting to find those answers.
Every scene of the drama is cinematic with the color palette and lights in perfect proportion. Every episode has flashbacks, monsters, and immortal confrontations with humans. Many of them feel having the same expression with all the makeup.
Bulgasal (Kwon Na Ra) is like a damsel in distress waiting to be rescued. She has unconventional beauty which resembles immortality. Her role matches that of a solemn, optimist, and resentful lady of the past. She does a very good job.
Well, Lee Joon villain saves the day for me. He literally is my show-stealer. His villain characterization with bold wardrobe is exemplary. I picked this drama solely for LEE JOON, for I had started admiring him for a few months after watching his extensive range of acting in My Father is Strange. He is an excellent ick for the antagonist character and for the first time I am more into villain than Leads.
music is fine with my favorite is "If You Cant Forget". I really like the intricate BGM.
I would rewatch the drama to watch of course Lee Joon.
If you are a fan of fantasy, mystery, and thriller dramas, BULGASAL is a must-watch.

Demon Presidents Contract Lover
3 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
ML is a living devil, he takes every chance to focefully kiss the lead which seems very uncomfortable onscreen. As in drama world I have seen many forced kisses but that acting is par excellent, as for this movie its seems very immature. He is unable to show proper emotions. He looked quite old with his white hair colour.
FL is cute but stupid. She made plans but falls into her own dug pit. She only speaks dialogues in right manner but her body language as actress needs improvement. During the forced kiss she resists for fraction of seconds then stops resisting, WHY. You should resist or slap or fight or do something.
Directors also need to do the job properly. I didn’t like the angles. And actors did what they were told by the director. And he is the one to approve OK to the scenes so its his responsibility.
Music was nice and songs were good. After a long time I found different song in this series of movies.
Its a one time watch and basicly you can skip many scenes or watch in 2x speed.

Kids are fragile brains, they do things to fit in with popular kids, but the wrong things like abusing, stealing, or lying. It may seem petty but the adult world term these as crimes. It is a society that shapes the kids personality and brains.
The movie shows two girls who intentionally or unintentionally hurt each other with their lies. The movie ends with an idea of what goes around comes around. what we give t others comes back to us.

Keep you phone in bag and not hand.
It's centered around the aspect that mobiles have become way too essential in our lives than imagined. UNLOCKED, is a gripping and thought-provoking movie about being overly invested in smartphones these days. While this is not the first movie to undertake the subject, it did a good job of delivering a realistic wake-up call about the dangers of social media without any sugarcoating.A woman loses her phone on a bus and her life gets worse as it gets hacked. The plot is simple yet engaging throughout. The plot is predictable cause we see through the eyes of the hacker, about his next movie. But the ending is satisfying, I thought it would be a lot worse but thankfully not.
I loved the movie's cinematography, the camera angles, the relationships between the characters, the depth of the storyline, to the suspenseful moments that made me feel emotions as if I was the one going through it.
This movie should be watched by everyone not just for the thrill of the movie but for most important awareness of how careful you should be with your phones. Not because someone will stalk you with the phone, but because scams and fraud could happen too.
And those of you who believed it is over-exaggeration or unreal, it may be dramatized but I have seen real cases. Better safe than searching for a cure
1. My phone got hacked and lost a few bucks.
2. A girl's laptop was hacked at my university and they could see her through her camera. She later told everyone to put up a sticky note over the camera if not in use.

This drama needs a chance
●FIRST IMPRESSIONWow!!! This drama is superb, I got this accidentally and when I was in the first episode, I got hooked to it. This drama deserves a chance.
●PLOT VIEW
Stock market has always been called a gambling house where people only lose money, But this drama through its characters helps everyone to see the other side of the stock market system.
All the characters go through anxiety, stress, and emotional drowning losing their money in many different ways but they still keep their enthusiasm and learn the basics of stock buying and earning. In other words, to say that if you open a restaurant or business some days it has good sales, you earn profit and someday it rains so no sales and, you make no money. Sometimes business is in the wrong place so the business falls. While the characters come together they learn about each other's dreams and motivate them to pursue it without any judgment. In this journey, we could see their families stress too, and its not to be ignored,its good humor.
●CHARACTERIZATON
The FL, Han JiEun playing Yoo MiSeo is very passionate about stock buying and losing all her money she learns how stressful it is, but to gain her money back she meets the group study and meets a stock investment expert. Their romance blooms slowly as the ML is going through a depression phase due to stocks.
An old man and a Kid are paired together and bond when they visit a science center.
Similarly, a widow and a carefree homeless man bond when he starts working in her restaurant.
●KNOWLEDGE I GAINED
So with its various dimension of characters, it shows that anyone can invest in stocks without any age limit, they just need to have some correct knowledge. They can also have it as a job if they are experts. Its stock investment can also be done with low capital too.
●All six characters acted so well, and you cant feel depression seeing them in depression because its supposed to be a light humor drama. The romance between Yoo Mi Seo and Seo JungWoo gives so many good vibes. Also, the other two pairs have a good friendship which is nice to see.
●APPRECIATION
There is an epilogue at the end of each episode, like a Youtube video where an expert on stock buying is giving his valuable knowledge, If any1 wants they can skip it. But for me it was fun I learned something new.
●RECOMMENDATION
Watch this if you want something light and humorous.
Please give it a try
It is really good.

Good movie but unimpactful
●There is a phrase in my country “every man's heart way is through his stomach” but my opinion is “every person's hearts way is via the stomach regardless of gender”If we eat a dish made with love even after a long time it will be imprinted on our memory.
●This movie had many elements in the story inclusive of amnesia, accidents, soul-switch, delicious food cooking, Piano playing, childhood friendship, and wedding. Despite having all such crazy stuff it is subtle and calm.
●Nothing is overdone and tragedy, romance, drama everything is well incorporated. Just like a meal consisting of various dishes and everything is delicious and enjoyable.
●Acting is average. No one impresses actually. But I really liked the FL and her way of savoring each dish. She was truly happy eating those dishes.
●Story is simple and sends up a message If You love someone and afraid to lose, be brave to confess if you can't let go.
The music is isnt great. and rewatch is not possible for such an unimpactful movie.

Artistic but Not for everyone
●Hesitated for a long time before starting.Reason: firstly it's slow-paced and secondly it's 2 and a half hrs long.
●Reason I started: only one YOO AH IN, I respect his works. His projects are marvelous and keep one intrigued with his marvelous acting.
●My Feelings: In spite of being slow the movie wasn’t boring. It was like a work of art. thinking about what to draw, finding the right canvas, mixing all the colors, and slowly stroking brushes to create an artistic painting. This movie is like those modern art pieces which are beautiful but not distinct. And the viewer is open to read in between the lines and creating their own theories. The plot unfolds slowly with a tense build-up, along the way with some interesting conversations and interactions. The ending is ironic in with an open ending leaving the viewers with an uneasy feeling the end which makes them want to know more.
●The movie surrounds Lee Jong Su played by YAI who wants to be a writer but is struggling in his daily life.
Ben played by Steven Yeun is rich and has a playful luxurious life. This character contrast shows the class difference as well as their personality.
Shin Hae Mi played by Jeon Jong Seo was in between them. She was a free being wanting to learn about the meaning of life. Her character was the most interesting, she had all sorts of random stories which sometimes seemed fake and sometimes artistic.
●The actors were magnificent and did an excellent job to this convey this slow-paced movie. It can be a great character study for the audience, as all three characters are mysterious yet enchanting.
●And director and cinematographer did a great job of not making this slow movie boring and instead gave it a cinematic touch.
●The dialogues of the movie are metaphorical and have deep meaning than just the sentence.
●Music is mostly natural, rain, wind, birds, car wheezing, walking, utensils, etc. The other tunes were light and not overbearing which I seemed to have missed because I was engrossed in the movie I guess.
●The Ending
1>My understanding of the ending was, that the movie ending was real and ML took revenge, simply just as the movie is trying to show.
2>My Hypothesis of the ending was, that the ending part of the novel ML was writing. Because we see him writing in a room and the camera just zooms outwards.
● This movie is not for everyone. if you like mystery or thrillers, do watch this
but if you hate open endings don't watch this it will not serve you the ending on a plate but you have to put your mind and give it a thought.

My Kdrama Superhero HEALER
If there is a better word for, excellent, exceptional, or outstanding, I would choose that to describe the drama HEALER.●HOW I CAME TO IT
I spent like 5 years in Kdramaland but was oblivious to Ji Chang Wook,I recently came to know about him, and with the suggestions of fellow mdl’er I decided to watch Healer.
●FIRST IMPRESSION
The drama has everything - great script, amazing casts, perfect OST, and fast-paced. It's a mix of action, drama, romance, and mystery. It kept me hooked to all 20 episodes without an ounce of weariness.
●PLOT VIEW
When I started it, I thought I know the ending but the amazing twists rambled in my mind. At some moments it felt like a superhero drama. The superheroes live a normal life but also disguise themselves in their costumes and help people. In another moment the drama felt like a makjang with a birth secret. And yet another time it felt like childhood trauma, a Kdrama cliche plot. But in spite of having all this, it had remarkable entertainment.
●ACTING/CAST
Since this is my second JCW drama I had a good impression of him but let me first hype OMG!!! he shook my heart. His action and expression were like, he is made to do this character. Fangirls swooned over his hotness and gave all his dramalist but am way past there, I love good acting. I cannot imagine another actor in the role of HEALER. The duel character give a consistent growth and I got more immersed in JCW. He made his way onto my favorite actors list.
Park Min Young, I have watched her in office dramas, but here she surprised me. She played a weak lady but fearless. Even though she is struggling she still thinks to help others. JCW and PMY created phenomenal chemistry, they were not sensational but believable, subtle, and sweet.
Another character I enjoyed thoroughly was, Hacker Ajhumma, her voiceovers were amusing and most of the time she was alone working on computers. She might have acted alone like talking to someone with perfect expression is daebak.
Supporting characters Dae Young, aide girl of the healer, Choi Chi Soo, Chul Min, and Kim Moon Ho were enjoyable. Antagonist characters were also done well, otherwise, how would the protagonist look good? The baddies elder, secretary Oh, were humans who seemed fearless but had their heads shaken by the end.
●MUSIC
Whoever chose the OSTs did an excellent job. “Eternal Love” by Michael learns to rock has a soulful tune ensembled with perfect lyrics. It synced into the Healer scenes like the blood in veins.
“I’ll protect you” and the Healer theme was also mastered well.
●FAV SCENE
The snowfall kiss scene. It was so harmoniously aesthetic.
●REWATCH
It is a great drama, am surely rewatching this very soon.
●RECOMMENDATION
If anyone likes to watch excellent action and amazing acting, Healer is a must-watch.
●APPRECIATION
The action sequence was marvelous. I enjoyed each sequence without skipping. Every run, every jump, fight it was perfect. The action director did a phenomenal job.
●AFTERTHOUGHT
I will have a hard time getting over this, and If I can't find an excellent drama of this level I will be very disappointed I guess.

This ghost is neither funny nor scary
Am not a fan of the horror genre but still, I tried to watch this because I saw a clip of funny ghosts' interaction with humans. But I was highly disappointed the clip I saw was the only funny thing in the drama too. til the 11th episode, 70 percent of the screen time was about cooking food and catching ghosts which brought no development to the story. Also, It was so slow that I was tired to watch everything, so I skipped through it. Amnesia and murder mystery could have been written more strongly because it had created a good backstory.If anyone wants to skip, then watch the drama from episode 12, it gains a high pace in uncovering the ghost mystery.
Acting by Kim So Hyun is just excellent. She is one adorable hungry spirit.
Ok Taecyeon was good but he was just average.
Music is not memorable
Rewatch is an absolute NO. I would rather watch that clip of ghost than watch this ghost and human cohabitation.
Afterthought
The cohabitation didn’t feel like happening between a ghost and a human, because she is demanding food, clothes, and studying, she feels like a teenager who is latching onto their guardian.
