FIRST IMPRESSIONS
On episode 1, I got hooked(YES. It is one of the dramas that I got hooked on the first dramas) Why I got hooked? It is not because of Joowon but because the story itself made me interested and I already felt that I will feel intense on this drama. This is my 3rd action drama that I watched.
ON THE CHARACTERS
Joowon as Lee Kangto/Sato Hiroshi - On the first half episodes, I find him an anti-hero because of his attitude on this drama though as I carefully knowing his character, he is one of a kind lead and a risky man. Joowon's portrayal as Lee Kangto is DOPE and IMPRESSIVE (YOU CAN REALLY FEEL HIS EMOTIONS ESPECIALLY WHEN HE CRIES) and he is one of the best korean actors. I became a fan of Joowon on this drama
Park Ki Woong as Kimura Shunji - I find him as a typical second male lead but as the episode goes by, his character grew into a dark one. Park Ki Woong's portrayal as Shunji is also impressive and it is my first time watching him in a drama and I wished also he will be the main lead.
Jin Se Yeon as Mok Dan Sari - One of the bravest and independent woman that I saw in k-drama land. I find Mok Dan's patriotrism for her country realistic because she is proud on who she is and of course her nationality. I find Jin Se Yeon on her portrayal as Mok Dan as a mature one(She's only a '94 liner like me)
Han Chae Ah as Ueno Rie/Rara - I was annoyed at Rara because I find her very mysterious about herself. Though the good thing about her is she is a badass woman who can easily beat bad guys x) I kinda ship him with Shunji(They also look good together). Han Chae Ah really fits on this role.
Shin Hyeon Jun as Lee Kangsan - Am I the only one who was touched by his character? He is a Village Idiot but somehow he truly cares for his family especially on his younger brother Lee Kangto. I was impressed on Shin Hyeon Jun's portrayal as Lee Kangsan.
On the supporting characters, JOB WELL DONE *thumbs up*
OVERALL PLOT/STORYLINE OF THIS DRAMA
This drama is well-written and it will made you interested if this genre of this drama is not your cup of tea though. I can say that this is more cliffhanger than DOTS(it's also one of my top one drama) and also it is a roller coaster of feels. The cinematography of this drama is amazing and has a good quality and I was thinking also if this drama was pre-produced. When I was searching on the synopsis of this drama, I saw that it is one of the highest rating dramas of 2012(It really deserves a high rating) **I suggest that you need a free time if you are going or planning to watch this drama**
MORAL LESSON OF THE DRAMA
It's simple, you should love your country regardless of your race, religion, nationality and gender and also you should be proud of who you are. Lastly, everyone can be a hero and a leader for everyone.
10/10. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. MUST-WATCH. ONE OF MY #1 K-DRAMA.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
I only watched this show by accident because I didn't know that this show exists and I only watched this because I felt heartbreak on DOTS Ep 13(when it was on-going). At first, I really can't understand the first episode because I don't know what Healer's purpose though; But as I watched the episodes, I carefully understand the story. Before I came on the half of the episode, I re-watched Ep 1-8 in order to understand more the story.
ON THE CHARACTERS
Ji Changwook as Seo Junghoo/Park Bongsoo/Healer - My first impression on Healer was a anti-hero lead but as the story goes on he has a good heart and he is only searching about his father's past, Healer's stunts and actions scenes amazed me and much better than City Hunter. Ji Changwook's portrayal as Healer is DOPE. He really fits this role and I FELL INLOVE WITH JI CHANGWOOK ON HEALER! <3
Park Minyoung as Chae Youngshin/Oh Ji An - One of the bravest female that I've seen even though her weakness is when she feels violated, I like the way when she is with Park Bongsoo(They also looked cute!) Park Minyoung's portrayal as Chae Youngshin also amazed me.
Yoo Ji Tae as Kim Moonho - At first I thought he's the second lead who will have a crush on the female lead but good thing is he's does not have a crush on a female lead. He's also one of the second lead that I like because he only protects the two main leads.
Kim Mi Kyung as Hacker Ahjumma/Jo Min Ja - ONE OF MY FAVORITE AHJUMMAS IN KDRAMA LAND! I was really amazed on her hacking skills! How I wish I also have her skills like her!
OVERALL PLOT/STORYLINE OF THE DRAMA
It has a small differences on City Hunter's storyline though as you watched the entire episodes it's really different, the only difference is the male lead's occupation; City Hunter is a prosecutor and a freedome justice fighter while Healer is a junior reporter and a night errand guy or night courier guy. The Good thing about Healer was he does not seek revenge about his father's past and he only wants truth behind it and also he is not a guy-with-a-gun lead.
Tbh, I have also a roller-coaster feels on this drama because you'll only not feel intense but also you feel love on main leads. Ji Changwook and Park Minyoung's Chemistry is <3 they look good together!
MORAL LESSON OF THE STORY
Truth will set you free. You don't need to hide who you are or your bad experiences because it was already done in the past and you need to move-on.
9/10. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO WATCHED CITY HUNTER. MUST-WATCH

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
When I first heard about this drama, I felt curious because I saw some netizens on facebook that they are currently watching it. At first, I told myself that I will not watch an on-going drama after DOTS but as my curiousity goes up, I watched it right away when it was only 6 episodes and I started to marathon it in order to catch up with the latest episodes.
I sensed that this drama was all about fate and love and I thought that this drama is also about mistaken identity or switch identity because of two Oh Hae Youngs but they have really the same name! *shocks*
ON THE CHARACTERS
Eric Mun as Park Do Kyung - I find Do Kyung's character as the typical male lead that does not confess his feelings right away for the female lead though I find his character as a Sound Producer very unique because it is my first time to see the male lead like the type of the job. I love Eric's portrayal as Park Do Kyung, I love him more! It makes me want to watch his previous dramas MY AHJUSSI! <3
Seo Hyun Jin as Just Oh Hae Young - I love her being cool and free spirited woman. The only female lead that I was sentimental and touched by her character, really love her 'till the end. I like Seo Hyun Jin's portrayal as Just Oh Hae Young and she really nailed it! Also looking forward for her dramas.
Jeon Hye Bin as Pretty Oh Hae Young - REALLY PRETTY OH HAE YOUNG <3 Though I am not really hooked on her character because she was popular when she and JOHY when they are in Highschool.
Lee Jae Yoon as Han Tae Jin - I was really annoyed on Tae Jin because of what he did on JOHY >.< He needs to reflect on his conscience on what he did to JOHY and on his company.
JUST OH HAE YOUNG'S PARENTS - FAMILY GOALS! They are your typical parents especially JOHY's Mom that are supportive and at the same time very overprotective but I also felt that they want the best for their daughter. I REALLY LOVE JOHY'S MOM! One of my favorite k-drama land Mom
Kim Ji Seok as Lee Jin Sang - I find his character very funny even though he is a playboy though he is also handsome, I still find him funny xD
Ye Ji Won as Park Soo Kyung/Isadora - I didn't like her character at first because of her moody attitude but as time goes by, I find her character likeable especially when she is with Jin Sang, she is also funny xD
OVERALL PLOT/STORYLINE OF THE DRAMA.
I can say that this drama has also a unique storyline, the only common cliche here on this drama is the love triangle among the characters. The plot twist of this drama is somehow unexpected that it will make you feel nervous of what will happen to the main characters. You can easily get interested on this drama because it's a rom-com drama and I know that everyone loves romantic-comedy drama.
MORAL LESSON OF THE DRAMA
Do not lead on a person if you can't commit him/her 'till the end or do not lead into a person that doesn't have a relation about you. Everything happens for reason, if it does not come to you, there's always behind a reason to it or in other words, if it's meant to be then it will happen it is also fate or destiny. Lastly, live life to the fullest.
10/10. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. MUST-WATCH DRAMA. NOT THAT OVERRATED.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
When I first heard about DOTS, I immediately watch it right away because I saw on my SNS accounts that Song Joongki is the lead and I miss him so much in dramas because he enlisted on 2013 and he just came back from army. He is also my ultimate k-actor Oppa because he is cute, charming and handsome at the same time <3 I also noticed when I was watching the first episode that Song Hye Kyo is the female lead and she's an ageless beauty and also one of my favorite korean actresses. I wasn't really hooked on the first episode because as I've said earlier that I only watch it because of Song Joongki but I got hooked on the 3rd episode because I understand what the story is.
ON THE CHARACTERS
Song Joongki as Captain Yoo Si Jin/Big Boss - I REALLY LOVE BIG BOSS! <3 Big Boss for me is an eye candy for this drama because how a soldier can be handsome at the same time?! <3 I also like the way he jokes to Kang Mo Yeon. He's one of my favorite male lead because he is playful and brave. Song Joongki's portrayal as Yoo Si Jin. He really fits this role <3
Song Hye Kyo as Dr. Kang Mo Yeon/Beauty - I am amaze on her character as a doctor. Though what I didn't like at her was she is hiding her feelings for Yoo Si Jin :|
JinGoo as Sergeant Major Seo Dae Young/Wolf - I love the bromance with him and Big Boss <3 I like Jingoo's portrayal as Seo Dae Young and he is also handsome even though he has a tan skin <3
Kim Jiwon as Lieutenant Yoon Myeong Joo - Idk why but I like Yoon Myeong Joo than Kang Mo Yeon though I love Kim Jiwon here than her other roles like The Heirs, SHE'S ALSO PRETTY! <3
TEAM ALPHA - SQUAD GOALS! <3
OVERALL PLOT/STORYLINE OF THE DRAMA
As I've said on the first line, it is one of k-dramas that has a unique storyline. No Love Triangle, no rich guy-poor girl who fall inlove, no identity switch, etc. For me, this k-drama is a mature one that teaches us about our profession or our jobs in life. All the feels are here in this k-drama.
MORAL LESSON OF THE DRAMA
It's just simple. Love for the country regardless of nationality, race, gender and religion and also we must balance our priorities in life especially in our work or school works.
10/10. MY #1 FAVORITE K-DRAMA(ALSO BRIDAL MASK). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
