Hooray! I have no idea why, but I feel like this one gets overlooked despite being very nearly perfect.

You mean like it was supposed to be a 16 episode drama? That would make perfect sense, actually.

You're definitely not the only one.

Oh man, you are so right, as usual.

It's a beautiful feeliiiinnnng....

I hated him for even more reasons than that (like trying to ruin Ae Ra's life and career), but for some reason he is super popular. I guess you just need to be "cute" and kdrama fans will excuse any horrible thing you do.

Oya, you and I generally agree on dramas and drama characters: what is your opinion on Seung Hyeon, the second male lead?

After 3 episodes, my impressions of this show are not good: everyone is either greedy, shallow, or stupid. Or some combination of the three. It makes me uneasy. I realize, of course, that the INTENT is to make the viewer uneasy, in these early episodes. That's why I've set this drama to "On Hold" instead of "Dropped". I don't think my wife will watch it, but if I ever get to a point where I am actually watching kdramas by myself (gasp!), I might like to revisit this one. It's at least got me curious.

Episodes 9 & 10 are legendary, am I right?

And how are you enjoying it so far?

Episode 1 has some decent action, but is lacking in truly strong character moments, simply because it's mostly all exposition. Episode 2 starts bringing the heat, but it's still mostly a slow burn.
However, I'll be surprised if you're not hooked by Episode 4 and even more surprised if you don't think Episodes 5 through 19 are collectively some of the best drama of 2015.

What is this, really?

Well, that didn't last long: 14 days after giving this a 10/10, Healer forced me to lower it to a 9.5/10. Hardly seems fair, but Healer was so much better than everything, I couldn't leave Pinocchio on equal level to it. Pinocchio is AMAZING and ALMOST just as good as Healer, but Healer is truly the Best Drama Ever (along with Fated to Love You, which I will never stop loving).

Yeah, the music is perhaps the strongest aspect of the show.

I've watched 19 episodes now. Not only am I giving this a 10/10, but I am lowering the rating on every other drama I have seen by half a point. That's how dang flipping good Healer is.

I've literally gone back and lowered my rating on every drama I have seen by half a point (except Fated To Love You) just so the 10/10 I've given Healer will be even more meaningful.

Kang So Ra is one of the best parts of being a kdrama addict.

Yep, Kang So Ra... I agree with everything you said about her.

I find it difficult to believe that Park Min Young even HAS haters! Who could watch Healer and not completely love her? (NOTE: I have only watched the first 10 episodes of Healer)

Park Min Young is the only reason I'm considering watching this, so I can empathize. However, I don't understand a lick of Chinese or Korean, so... it shouldn't really affect me, right? I still get to look at Park Min Young be adorable either way, I'm assuming.
