@helkwo, I mean, I just think that the look on her face at the end can mean many things. So I guess I'm just not jumping to conclusions? She was shocked by what she saw, but that doesn't mean she'll immediately make assumptions. I mean, right now she has Moon-ho, ahjumma, and Myung-hee all on Jung-hoo's side. She knows he was in danger and once they talk it out together and realize who it is that died, they'll also realize that Jung-hoo never would have killed him. I mean, I know there's a chance the writers will go there, but I think there are too many circumstances that would convince Young-shin otherwise and it would go against everything the drama has been building to this point. There's still a chance she might doubt him a bit, but I'm choosing to be optimistic.

@kristel0714 I actually loved Young-shin this ep. And I don't have the same worry that some people seem to have about Young-shin not trusting Jung-hoo. But, that said, yeah it might be wise to hold off because there is uncertainty regarding that and this cliffhanger is driving me crazy!

@Teru_Chan Hello! Yeah I noticed you hadn't commented there for awhile, but I always noticed you putting a few posts here on MDL every week and appreciated those :) Real life's been getting in my way quite a bit this week too so I understand. Thanks so much for appreciating my comments!
I agree @helkwo. I've had such an amazing experience watching this drama with you guys and all the people just as Healer-crazy as us. I'm gonna need support from you guys when it's over :(

Well, shit. Ep 16 is...I mean, damn. Watch at your own risk. It's fantastic, but GAH. How do I survive? I know I say it every time, but this week is going to be the hardest to get through yet. I'm sure of it.

Hey helkwo! Wow, thanks so much :) It's so lovely to know that my ramblings are appreciated!

@Teru_Chan @helkwo
Great analysis! I completely agree with both of you guys! I think the drama has given such great attention to the developing of it's characters from episode 1 up until this point precisely BECAUSE now that they've gotten here they can begin to find the strength in one another to go and 'heal' the wounds of the past (by finally taking down those responsible). The revenge is about to begin, but I love how it inspires this feeling of not being in it alone and doing it, not solely for revenge, but to protect each other. I really enjoy this aspect of this drama.

In CH, the hero is more motivated by revenge for much of it, than he is for his own happiness (though he was very beaten up about that, if I remember). That is sad and moving in it's own way. But something wonderful about Healer, to me, is that he just wants to be happy and to not be alone, and that's what's driving him. There's something about that that just resonates with me more. And, most of all, I love how the romance here has become a source of strength. And how it's just as much Young-shin's fight as it is his and Moon-ho's! (hopefully they get her in on it soon!)

Ji Chang-wook is recording a song for the Healer OST!!! I've literally been wishing and praying for this. I'm so stoked!!!!

I CAN'T WAIT. Love him and the drama sounds like it could be good!

I, after 10 years of drama-watching, find Healer to be one of the most amazing dramas to come around in recent years. It may not be perfect, but it hits me in all the right spots and with each and every episode my love just grows and grows. So I respectfully disagree with your words that this drama "just sucks less than most of the dramas that are currently airing". That's just selling it short in my eyes. Of course, I understand that you're only writing how you honestly feel about the drama and that you can't write anything but that. I just think my taste is better. :P (but, really, who doesn't think that about themselves? I write this only to be honest, not to insult)

This drama is actually making it so that I can't get entertained by any other drama airing. Look at me, I'm sitting here "getting on the defensive like some frustrated/stressed fan" instead of making better use of my time, LOL, that's what this drama turned me into, and, I promise I was a rational person before this. But if I love a drama, of course I'm going to want to defend it. So I hope you don't take offense :)

Are you me? What you wrote right here? YES. So much yes. This is exactly how I feel about this drama after 10 years of watching (my first drama ironically aired at this time 10 years ago!). I wrote a comment on dramabeans last week about how I wanted this and this and this to happen between our leads before the drama ended. And everything I wished for? All of it happened within the last 10 minutes. All of it! And it was even better than I'd hoped for. That's not even mentioning everything else awesome about this drama! I simply can't believe it's true.

Yeah, it's funny because last week I was actually starting to get into other dramas again (after 2 weeks of not being able to get into anything). There are some pretty good ones coming out right now and I was looking forward to having some shows I'm actually excited for to distract me from Healer for the week. But then episode 14 happened. And I'm right back to not being able to get into anything else, AGAIN. All that exists in Dramaland right now? The last 10 minutes of this show and they will be replaying non-stop until I get the next episode!!!

@Haven I actually just noticed that he's wearing jeans at the end (he was wearing sweats before)...so it's possible he showered?

Even if he didn't though, I actually don't think I'd care that much if I were her. It's definitely not something that would cross my mind in such a passionate, emotional moment. Especially since he was just sleeping in his bed, it's not like he was out in the wilderness for 6 days LOL.

NO. Last week, I would have said wait. But this week?!?! Don't wait! Watch it! I can't see myself living with the ep 13 cliffhanger for a week, but the ep 14 cliffhanger?! I could live in that moment forever!!!!!

Well, I've watched episode 14. And I just want to let you all know that I have died and gone to heaven. Thank you and goodbye.

I really like Seo Hyun-jin too...

But if they're planning a loveline between her and Gu Dae-young, I'm out. I loved the first season and the lead couple so with no Lee Soo-kyung (or Barasshi!), I'm just not sure how they'll make it work for me.

I'm so bummed by this also.

AND I actually loved Seo Hyun-jin in Three Musketeers (which tvn ironically cancelled the 2nd season of, right before announcing season 2 of Let's Eat). In it, she played one of my favorite female characters of the year.

But I don't want her replacing Lee Soo-kyung!!! I love Dae young and Soo kyung together!

I think it's about time I catch up on this one! Thanks for giving the show some love because it's definitely one that more people should be watching :)

Yes it is! I typically switch out different illustrations from that drama for my profile picture :) One of my fav rom-coms!

Love yours too! Even though it's reminding me how much I miss Song Joong-ki :(

Completely agree. It's lovely to have a drama like this to look forward to each week :)

Ok, a shorter way to get across what I'm trying to say: Healer is basically making me realize that I don't really like City Hunter all that much.
