Clever plot

This is a story of 6th daughter of 5th ranking official. She was concubine born and what all injustice all kids not born from main mother go through. Very much a female eccentric movie. All the characters were nicely portrait and amazing star cast. Whole drama is not happy one, its full of wicked plots, twist and turns, but the ending is the happy one, considering this is period drama. After feeling little tortured it feel at the end it has to be happy otherwise it will be not productive.
I felt dialogues were too many and long conversations, sometimes it will get too much. One thing that struck me with this drama was if a male is well to do and is an official in the court of the king than it's natural to have harem.

its okay

I think if i had watched this first and healer next i would have given it half a star extra. If i have to choose between city hunter and healer its Healer all the way. I couldn't help compare it.
Both have excellent star cast. Strong ML and FL. When it comes to story which keeps you on your seat city hunter is not the one. I didn't do binge watching on this. Story is a kind of cliche except one element of his birth parent part. Action scenes are slow and not well performed for someone who is learning marshal arts from young age as per the drama.
I would have dropped this drama if not for Lee Min Ho smile. Another funny thing i find is pronounce of L is R. I slept off many times while watching this drama and i gave my rating for making it bearable.

Main leads of the drama it was my first time watching them. Story was good, with a touch of supernatural element to it. Main leads didn't disappoint. It started out strong and intrigued me but then towards the end it became very draggy and unnecessary at the same time it has some fluff to it. Storyline if you leave out the supernatural element to it, it will become a cliche. From these dramas of upper class it feels like they like it when they see a real person who is not hiding behind the mask of coldness.This story could have ended in 14 or 15 episodes there was no need for it drag till 20.

I have been holding on to this drama and waiting watch in leisure because this has my two fav Opas ! Lee Jong Suk and Park Hae Jin it was feast for my eyes to watch two of my fav actors on the screen at the same time and no need to say they both were amazing in their acting and did great justice to the characters they were playing. Lee Jong Suk played a devoted BF and his emotions remained constant for Jae Hee. I liked the changed where is started becoming a real doctor and treating everyone as patient irrespective of their past. Where as character of Chief Han was motivated by his painful past, which remained consistent as well till he realized what one perceives is not always the truth. I also liked the character of Kang So Ra as Dr Oh Soo hyun, she liked chief Han but was always confused by her feelings towards him and she finally was able to discern her feelings and acknowledged it for Dr Park. She was bold and brave, able to speak her mind, she was considerate and forgiving at the same time hard working. No wonder so many reviews wanted Dr Park & DR Oh So to be a couple at the end because both the characters were true to themselves and in a way similar.
Dr Han her character was shady inconsistent i kept wondering how can someone like he,r she thinks she was manipulative in the name of protecting and she kept saying she is protecting and then she wants to be with her BF and then she wants to protect and be with her BF and then she does not want to be with him becoz of organ transplant, her character was confusing and all in all her character didn't bring out the true feeling which DR park was able to portray so this character left me confused. Her acting was not intense either its was below average. I think Kang So Ra, Lee Jung Sook and PArk Hae Jin were able to pull the entire drama as i still don't understand what was the mission from North Korea side that they wanted to collaborate with Prime Minister. Every now and then they will kidnap one character and making him/her face the gun point. Story line started great involving medical practice and politics but it kept going downward.
It was Lee Jong Suk and Park Hae Jin screen time which kept me going , writers did terrible job in writing this plot which had so much potential due to cast and acting talent.

This drama surprised me. I am glad i picked it up. It was an easy watch and entertaining. I laughed so many times. All the six characters gets a good screen time. This drama is about how people from different background come together and form a team and work hard supporting each other. Story is not new but the acting and star cast is definitely awesome! I have always like watching Ahn Jae for his good looks and he entertains well. In this drama he looks dashing with gun holsters ;). I became fan of Lee Seung Gi, he is my new fav.. his character is aloof and has gone many hardships, he's straight forward, smart, hot tempered and introvert. I watched couple of his drama and from this drama i can say he can pull off some romantic scenes well. Chemistry between Lee Seung Gi and Go ah Ra is pretty good on screen. Go Ah Ra is really pretty, she is sensible but little dim wit, she works hard to meet her goal, she friendly and forgiving. I like her character and ofcourse Cha Seung Won, he is amazing!

This is my first movie of Xu kai and Bai Lu! loved the acting. At times it felt though female is kick ass character she is still sissy. It was more like she just came to AMA without giving much thought about she will be day and night sharing her space with guys. For e.g. when there was a shower scene and she who is too short was still hiding and feeling shy which was hard to understand. Also female lead came across as she wanted to please everyone. She is going on dates with HS and SJS at the same time and she knows she has no interest in either of them why mislead them??? couldn't understand. Towards the end when she made her decision that she likes our ML i liked her resolution and she standing by him. Also it was refreshing to see what a ML always don't have to be standoffish and serious. It's okay to be silly and impulsive too. That was breaking the pattern of all powerful ML's. Over all a good watch.

Full of fluff overrated drama

This drama is about people in writing and publishing business. ML is an author who is young and popular and female lead is an editor and slowly climbing the corporate ladder started as an intern. i am surprised that this drama is 8.4 rating. The story is total cliché full of fluff. 1st ML and FL Ryan Ding and Ether Wu does not have chemistry on screen. Ether Wu's role was very confusing, she comes across timid but she acts brave and is outspoken sometimes, sometimes she behaves like a crazy women with no sense, sometimes she when she is none of above she is talking like a child. She is ambitious but relying on all three leads for her success. Ryan Ding portrays typical author who is aloof and cold and minds his own business but in reality he is kind and often misunderstood. His acting and character he played was at least consistent. 2nd ML and FL leads have good chemistry and mature roles. I liked them both. Most annoying thing for me was the background music, which was so loud and plays all the the time even when there is a dialogue going on in front back ground music is not subtle and completely unnecessary. If you have time to kill, watch it, otherwise you can pass this one.

Good drama

I came to watch after watching Doom at your service. I had watched shopping king. Louis half and was bored so dropped it and thot Seo in Guk is so so. But in Hello Monster i saw he is amazing.
The story is pretty good and there are times i felt sad for the brothers, where people try to make decisions for others. I liked their bromance. FL was not so bad as i have read in many reviews, she came across little selfish and little dumb but she did her part well. All in all it is a good watch. It's right amount of mystery, romance, bromance, thrill till the last episode.

Touching and relatable

This is one amazing plot. I highly recommend it. I just stumble upon this by chance. This drama is all about family and it conveys to be a family its not necessary to be blood related. Relationships are formed with emotion, care and love. It pulls at your heart strings. Loved all the 3 main characters. Steven Zhang is amazing and so cute. I have never been a Fan of seven tan but she did alright with her sun shine personality in the role. Song Weilong did justice to his broody and neglected traumatic child persona. All three deals with life in different ways. It is pretty good story, it has 40 episodes on viki but it does not feel like it drags or anything. In fact i felt they could have added couple of more.

??? Siblings ;)

It's a good show. I am fan of Hu Yi Tan from Life is beautiful! in this his role was not equal to Chen Zhe Yuan. Chen Zhe Yuan has a more screen time. Over all the story is satisfactory, with good martial arts scenes, humor and story line. This series is one of those which makes you think if ancient chinese people did this all the time that would be ridiculous and that is poison someone and cure them next minute with an antidote or take antidote first and play with poison. In every other scene someone is given some kind of poison and they are looking for antidote i found that funny and very un realistic, yes wuxia is fantasy but this was quiet ridiculous. If you can get over that story is good with martial arts which i really like. FLs are no strong leads and yes i felt character of Su Ying was unnecessary and had no chemistry with ML. I thought it is not always needed to pair up with someone, this is one of that case.

This movie has a good cast , the start was good and i could not stop from binge watching it but then some where around ep 17 story started to go downhill it picked up again after ep 33. Too much repetition of the same story. Most times i was getting bored and wanted to stop but Allen Ren kept me hooked up to the series. I will watch it for him. FL is strong but little annoying i felt she was overdoing it and she does not have much acting skills, i have watched another of her series and she did the same type of acting in that so not very impressed with her, i liked the second FL better. Good part of this movie is it has strong female leads and good martial arts.
