cityhunter

when he stated in at least 2 interviews that he doesn't like unattractive people, that if an attractive person shows up looking a mess that's cool but if an unattractive person does it, that's pathetic, so much so that he does not even want to LOOK at them. to the point that he admits his own friends tell him he's mean. oh yea and then there was the time he complained that he had to do minor roles when he first started acting, which he felt was unfair b/c he was already a successful model. i don't generally read interviews or keep up with actors' personal lives, and him being a jerk isnt going to stop me from watching his stuff, but it's out there, he's a jerk. and he doesnt even deny the comments about unattractive people, claiming only that it was a joke- yea dude a joke you told at least twice to the media.

too bad he's a self admitted asshole in real life. if only his personality could be as nice as his face *sigh*

is anyone subbing this. i really wanna watch

thank you!

if you didnt like boys over flowers i doubt you'd enjoy something like this.

the guy from secret garden was a stalker and some of his behavior bordered on assault. it's just a show, not real, i get it but it's still creepy and gross if you think about it too hard. you dont have to kidnap a chick to be a bad boy or even a complex character.

in general the rich thing is all about the fantasy. in Korea specifically it is a societal thing. countless surveys have found that to korean women wealth is more important than looks and even love.

that doesnt mean you never see it in dramas, in Mary Stayed out all night a poor guy ends up getting the girl, but not before he secures himself a more stable income.

i don't think we'll ever see the end of the Goo Jun Pyos completely but at least they arent the only thing on our screens anymore and even they are getting better. i can't remember the last time i saw a korean male lead force a kiss that was not quickly reciprocated.

if you are new to Thai dramas the language does grate in the beginning. even for a Asian drama vet it doesn't sound like anything you've ever heard before. my first thought was "they are not actually saying anything, that is just people clucking at each other!" by the end of the drama though it didn't bother me at all.

as far as N, the fact that he showed his forehead at all totally slowed me down in being able to recognize him. also in his work with VIXX he tends to be dressed/ styled in a very flowerboy way and his performances and gestures tend to lean toward effeminate. there is NONE of that here so if that's you're only experience with him and you dont go in knowing it's him it's not immediately obvious.

he's added at least 3 more. less monotone. this has him doing mostly funny/ light stuff which seems to be his niche. stay in your lane boy.

this show is bonkers but i n a really great way. it's also only the 2nd time i've like dSung Joon in anything.

it is odd. mostly you hear so and so's omma even after a couple has split.

I much prefer the romance and humor in healer to that of cityhunter. Cityhunter had better editing more consistent writing

I never said he was autistic. Healers teacher stated he had autistic tendecies which as I mentioned in the article is not a thing.

yea, i'm just some weirdo on the internet. no need for anyone to be upset

birth secrets, politics and cover ups are makjang's bread and butter. pretty much the entire past plot line was makjang and it frequently leaked into the present. i dont mind makjang in principle but healer falls into some pretty common makjang pit falls by circling the exact same issues repeatedly destroying momentum.

i think there are many ways to do a drama well but there are a few basic things that are needed for it to be well done. acting, writing, and production are what make any show of any genre well done.

as i've mentioned before though a show doesnt always have to be well done to be enjoyable.

i loved healer too, but my love for the drama doesnt blind me to the poor editing and story structure.

i rate dramas based on how much i enjoyed them. a drama can be poorly done objectively but still be a fun watch. when you look at a drama objectively you are looking at how well the various pieces like writing, acting ect were executed.when a show has many things or large elements that are poorly done it's objectively not good. there are many blockbuster movies that are loved by millions that suffer from poor execution. that doesnt make them any less fun to watch.

the quality of the writing is inconsistent. every time the writers got going they slammed on the breaks. every story has an ebb and flow but in healer it is abrupt and counter productive. boys over flowers is not on the list because it is not good enough to over come it's flaws.
