Goodness gracious, does anyone in the world have a more adorable smile than Park Min Young!?
This drama is surprisingly cute and sweet, for all the action it has. I'm only 10 episodes in and this drama already has some of my all-time favorite romance scenes ever. In particular, at this point in the show (episode 10) I find myself perplexed and enthralled by Healer's actions and the mysterious motivations surrounding them.
I actually really liked the romance subplot here. It was sweet and simple, and there was basically no forced love triangle, which was refreshing. Plus, I mean... Jang Na Ra, man. Any excuse to watch her being cute, am i right? ;)
Started this about a week ago. Watched up to Episode 5. Love the premise and the action. The characters are really starting to develop well, although this show starts slowly in this area. Park Min Young is a treat so far, and Ji Chang Wook has good range.
Yikes....came here after being sooo amazed by the 1st episode. ..than I saw so many negative feedback =(.......…
I watched the whole thing and gave it an 8.5.
I think Lee Jong Suk, Park Hae Jin, and Kang So Ra BY THEMSELVES warrant at least a 7.0 rating, even if you hate everything else. But that's just me.
Not bad. Was a treat to see Lee Min Jung and Park Shin Hye in the same movie. Min Jung, especially, was very beautiful. It's weird how different she can look with a different hairstyle and skin tone.
The rest of the movie was just ok.
So yeah... that might be the fastest I have ever gone through a 20 episode drama: eight days. And what an amazing eight days it was.
I gave this a 10/10. It's the 3rd 10 I have given out of the ten dramas I've seen (Good Doctor and Fated to Love You being the other two).
I went into this expecting a lot from Park Shin Hye and Lee Jong Suk, and they not only delivered, but EXCEEDED my expectations. Especially Shin Hye. She was good in You're Beautiful, which was my first drama, but she was on a completely new level of awesome here. Her performance brought me to tears multiple times. There's a beautiful honesty about her eyes that touches my heart so easily. And of course, LJS and that smile of his; it's so easy to like him!
As for the rest of the cast:
- Wife and I were happy to see Kim Young Kwang as the second-lead here, as we both agreed that he was the best male of the Supporting cast in Good Doctor. He nailed this and is, no doubt, Leading Man material now for the next several years.
- Almost every drama we watch brings us a "revelation" in the cast: an actor/actress that we find particularly likable and makes us want to see more of them. Here, we had two: Lee Yu Bi as Yoon Yoo Rae, and Lee Pil Mo as "Cap" Hwang Gyo Dong. Wife and I found ourselves rather attracted to both of them, as both the performances and the writing of the characters were strong and interesting. The characters themselves could have used a little more resolution, but we'll be looking to see these two actors in more dramas from here on.
It's a shame, though, that everything else Lee Yu Bi has done looks like total garbage. Her cuteness is very watchable.
I also want to give major points to the music in this drama. It's the first drama I've seen where I really took note of the incidental music and enjoyed it.
That said... the story.
Wow. What a cleverly written, touching, and extremely dense plot this drama had. Every major character had an awesome back story, a bunch of the supporting roles had satisfying mini-plots around them, and multiple times it felt like the drama should be over because so many satisfying resolutions kept happening! This drama had layers upon layers and packed more great story and character moments into 20 episodes than a lot of Western shows fit into multiple seasons. Seriously, I have never seen a drama this packed with content.
Although Fated to Love You remains my sentimental favorite, this is probably the "Best" drama I have seen from an objective viewpoint.
Oh man... Park Shin Hye and Lee Jong Suk acting side by side. This is going to be awesome. I have only watched…
I have only heard the faintest rumblings of hate for Park Shin Hye, but I don't really know what people say about her. For me, she's the total package: funny, talented, and beautiful. I don't know what there is to complain about.
I ended up giving this a 9.5/10. It was endlessly entertaining. Every emotional beat and every comedic scene worked to near-perfection. The scene with Do Min Joon and the car on the cliff (you know the one I mean) is still to this day the coolest thing I have ever seen in a drama and I'm sad I'll probably never see anything that cool in a drama again.
And the CAST! Oh my word. They're all amazing. When Kim Soo Hyun gives the weakest performance in the show, you know you've got a killer cast. All of the main roles were A+ performances.
Oh man... Park Shin Hye and Lee Jong Suk acting side by side. This is going to be awesome.
I have only watched the 1st episode so far, but I will say a couple things:
1) That is one harsh back story. Even for a kdrama.
2) Park Shin Hye is incredibly attractive. In fact, unbelievably attractive. I spent all of You're Beautiful watching her be a boy, but to see her with all the feminine charms and grace of a young Korean lady was startling for me. I would say she just narrowly beats out Kang So Ra as the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in a drama (although I still choose Jang Na Ra as a personal fave).
Top of my list!!! I got bored with Kdramas as they contain too much absurd romance, but I decided to watch this…
Of course you don't have to think the same way as everyone else. But pushing two brothers to be nominated as "Best Couple" in an awards show means you're hoping society accepts incest as "normal" and "acceptable" and "cute". Actual, real-life incest is very harmful and dangerous, and so pushing society to accept it goes beyond just "let me think the way I want to think".
It's fine to let people have preferences and not judge them, but when somebody dwells on, and then promotes, nefarious and hurtful things, then it's unfair for that person to then ask society not to judge them.
Seriously, that was even one of the minor messages of this very drama: the harm you cause when your thoughts are twisted and you don't even realize it.
Unless it's perhaps a hidden message? Maybe from a spurned woman to her ex-lover? "I'm already pregnant"... see that? I think it's up to us to figure this out.

Completely didn't notice that when I watched. Pretty bad production error, if true.

"Orphan Lin Xiao He became Mrs. Merrill Lynch"??? The Chinese translator can't be THAT messed up, can it?
Whatever, you do you, man. But I will always be critical of incest and people who like it. And I'm not wrong to voice it either.

Moon Chae Won! YESSSSSS!
