Before saying anything else, let me get this off my chest. I *_need_* Ji Chang Wook and Taehyung (V) of BTS to do a drama together as brothers! Some of Chang Wook's mannerisms, especially when he was acting as Bong Soo, were *so* insanely V-like. Also, from a few angles Chang Wook looked SO much like V it was crazy! I really hope it happens someday. I feel like they'd be amazing together. Now, for the show itself, honestly I was gonna give it a 7/10 rating, but the last episode was so weird and unsatisfying that it left me with a bad taste. This is one of the longest k-dramas I've ever watched, but the last episode felt rushed and unplanned. Like they simply threw something together because they realized it was the finale, but failed to deliver on a proper ending. Threads were left hanging loose all over the place. I was very disappointed and underwhelmed. The overall plotlines I enjoyed. The thing with the parents, the kids, all of the interpersonal relationships between characters (especially those, the show really shined in that respect). The fight scenes were also very good and entertaining to watch and the acting from the two main characters was top notch. Chang Wook particularly blew me away. It was insane how different he was as Bong Soo and Jung Hoo. The rest of the cast, I wasn't so impressed with. Now, for the bad, who chose the OST for this? Like, maybe it's a chronological thing and back when this aired the music choices would have been considered good? I don't know, but I thought they were largely the bad kind of cheesy. Especially that "It's a beautiful feeling" one. That one made me cringe each time it started playing. But beyond that, I think they made very questionable choices on how to musicalize plenty of scenes. Like, they'd play happy-ish, up beat music during fight scenes or tense moments, which completely wrecked the mood for me. This happened a few times during the endings of the episodes, but then, on the replay of that same scene on the beginning of the next episode, they'd use a more mood-appropriate song, and it was insane how much the vibe shifted. I guess I'd rate this a 6.5/10.

HEALER/EL BUSCADOR Visto: enero/2015 Calificación: 5/5 (★★★★★♡) Healer un Kdrama que me encantó ni bien me lo recomendaron lo busqué por que en el elenco estaba Ji Chang Wook uno de mis actores favoritos después que lo vi en Empress Ki y lo terminé en poquísimo tiempo, los capítulos fueron intensos desde el principio, tenia una buena historia y los actores muy buenos había mucha química entre los protagonistas. en serio me encanto!!! así que le puse 5 en puntuación por que es una de mis favoritas. ヅ

one of my all time favorite tv shows ever. changed my life

It’s a little bit confusing in the opening episode to separates the good guys from the bad guys (yes, it seems to be set up on that binary) but the mystery was in this slow reveal. The chemistry between the two leads was palpable. I will definitely be following Park Min-Young aka Rachel Park’s filmography. I really enjoyed this light-hearted series. It was a vacation from the seemingly popular supernatural KDramas that seem to be the current rage. I give this series a 9 (loved it) out of 10.

Struggling to decide how to rate this; at time of writing this I decided to put it at an 8/10. Overall I did really enjoy it, the acting, the characters, the action, etc. But people aren't kidding when they say the last episode feels rushed, hoo boy. The ending wasn't terrible, but not satisfying by any means. I also devoured the first like 2/3 of the show, but lost steam after identities are revealed, etc — just felt like there was something missing from the remainder of the show after that tension was lost.
