For the people that complain about the product placements, I believe they do it in Korea because they don't have…
In addition to what Ivy said, a lot of these comments are meant as jokes and poking fun of the situation rather than a genuine complaint.

loving our single parent couple so much!!!
They should have been given much more screen time.
Instead of repetitive scenes between leads, they should have given them more time.

This drama had a potential to be really awsome.
Mental struggle of doctors, and a relationship between two single parents.


Unfortunately, the writer either just not good enough, or didn't have the courage of their convinction, and thought audience will be put off by serious topics.
So, instead we got this. Poor examination of mentall illness, and endless scenes of grown ups acting like some teenagers (honestly, even in teen dramas some scenes are better). Adults might do this once in a while, but not al the time (not to mention stressed out adults).
There is a thin line between cute and cringe.

Also, why spend so much time on things that have been established instead of exploring the difficulties of working single parents dating??

*Sigh* What a waste of talent. Actors are really good, but without good writing and coherent narrative no matter how good they are, they can't rescue it.
This drama had a potential to be iconic and people will see it for years to come.
Instead we just have some beautiful people goofing around. It has some very funny moments, and some very cute ones, but I doubt people will talk about it in few months.

I think this is perception rather than reality.I admit that I haven't been on MDL for years (Btw..I can't comment…
" And I think we're going to see more and more moderate people alienated from this site due to extreme comments (on either end of the spectrum)"
I totally agree.

I think in the absence of stastical analysis about the comments it is hard to determine whether there are more positive or negative comments.
We seem to have a different view on the dominant nature of comments, but since neither of us have solid proof, I wil leave it there.

I agree some of the negative comments are absurd in their nature, and have nothing to do with the drama itself.
But, don't you think some of the gushing is equally ridiculous?
Lots of the gushing is also superficial.

Now, on a purely personal level, I prefer superficial gushing over negative one. Positive vibes are always better.

However, I also noticed there is such a high level of defensivness. A criticism is NOT hate. You can love something, but still point out its shortcomings.
Things are not binary. There is wide spectrum.

MDL should stop being so negative. Every single drama page currently (last 6-12 months) are drowning in negative…
I think this is perception rather than reality.
I admit that I haven't been on MDL for years (Btw..I can't comment on Twiter because I have never joined it), but if I go through the comments then I would say the majority, maybe even the overwhelming majority, are positive and lots are even gushing.

But, I think there is something with the human brain (all of us) that retain negative comments more than positive. I have heard almost all the YouTubers I follow say that few bad comments ruin hundreds of good ones.

The other point is as Kdrama become more popular and more people are watching you are bound to get less favourable comments. That is just the nature of things regardless of the platform.

But, finally, and maybe most importantly, why negative comments are bad? Negative comments are just as informative as good ones.
If I don't know anything about something, then a variety and contradicting comments are more useful than a uniform voice.
I think viewing all dramas with rose glasses is more harmful than good. Because if all you read is positive comments and then you watch and you don't like the show, you simply stop ignoring all comments alltogether and therefore harm the genuinely good shows.

Sincere feedback is more valuable than blanket positivite one.

PLEASE NO SPOILERS
I just want to know if it has a complete arc?
Or does it end on a cliffhanger/no conclusion at all?
Thank you.

The story is interesting, but I'm so distracted by PMY face. It looks out of porportion or is this the result…
I just finished Healer few days ago. She is thousand times better there. Almost another person.

I have unpopular opinion, but I think she looks much better when she is dressed down in ordinary clothes. Of course, these are dramas, and there is lot of make up even in simple scenes, but strangley enough, I find her less attractive when she start wearing all these glamourous dresses.

Idk, I just think the "girl next door" suits her much better than glamourous lady.

Title Healer
For long time I passed on this drama because I thought this is going to be like those American dramas with loveable team that goes around solving stuff, and we will have case of the week type of show.
I wasn't interested in that, so I kept skipping it.

One day, I felt like watching a case of the week show, so I picked it. OH! The irony of it all! lool.
I finished it in 2 days.
While it has some elements and structures of American dramas, it is most certainly Korean, and it is done better than anything I have seen before of similar nature.

The Koreans are MASTERS in genre blend. They just know how to mix them. This series has action, romance, mystery, humour and emotions! . One minute you are watching some cool fight scenes, the other you are crying over some deeply emotional scene, or swooning over some understated, gentle kiss (those few Kdrama kisses are more satsfying than all these full blown sex scenes in Western TV).
The cast is brilliant. The leads chemistry is off chart. They are beyond fantatsic together!. I mean PMY has chemistry even with her clothes lol (and btw..I am not her fan or something. But here she is just amazing)
Ajumma character is just A.W.O.S.M.E !! I love the actress playing her.

The show, unfortunately, has small stumble in its end. Nothing serious that ruin the enjoyment, but it leaves you a tiny bit wishing it was done differently.

Wow. This show is addictive.
I binged 9 episodes in about day and half.

It might not be the deepest or most thought provoking, but it is fantastic entertainment with great cast.
I Love Kim Mi Kyung!

The writing is very uneven in this series. It moves from really good to really bad.

I am going to finish it because there is enough I like, but I can't see myself rating it high or thinking about it once it ends.

I voiced my opinion few times that I thought Song Ha Yoon was the best actor in this series, but I also started to think about the reasons behind PMY popularity since I didn't see anything special in this series.
So, I went back in time, and started watching "Healer".
After 4 episodes I can totally see why she is popular now. In just few episodes she completely won me over. Idk, in those few episodes, she has both, great comedic timing, and great emotional scenes.

Of course, that doesn't change my opinion about MMH, but it gave me a new perspective, and I will be now much more open to watch her other series.
..Oh! and if Healer keeps that quality of the first 4 episodes, then I think I am in for a treat.
