And I'm glad i was wrong, because i hate those things. Thats why i first didn't know if i should watch it and i'm so happy that i did.
This drama is the best i've ever watched since boys over flowers.. at least for me. I cried so much at the end, not because of it's ending but rather since it was over. I'm a huge fan of Kim Soo Hyun since dream high, but compared to this drama .. whoo.. he became soo hot. I've gotta admit that the actress was new to me (i've started watching k-dramas in 2012 so don't blame me please~).
But i loved the chemistry between those two.
At first i kinda disliked her character, because she was so arrogant and full of herself, and dumb. But when the story continued you've got to see her soft side and that she was a kind person, but still she was hilarious from the beginning til the end. I laughed so hard, i almost cried.
And the male lead was kinda hard for me too, because i don't really like those characters that act so mean in the beginning and so play so hard to get, even though he has a pretty good reason.
The minor characters where adorable too. I personally loved Cheon Song Yi's little brother. He was so cute and the bromance with Do Min Joon was great.
Even the evil guy was great. I really really hated him to death, which proves how great the actor was.
The soundtrack was awesome. I loved the song "My Destiny by Lyn", but it was kinda annoying after some time. And because i'm (now) a huge fan of Hyorin from Sistar, i loved the track "Hello Goodbye". Thats the two songs that were stuck in my head, even til now.
I would definitely say it is a drama that is worth watching, even if you don't like alien stuff and such. But for rewatching i would say you should wait a while before restart watching. I waited like half a year and i coudn't remember a little things so i rewatched it.

First of all.. it was sooo hard to wait, because i wanted to watch episode 19 when the ep 20 was out.
This was one of the first dramas that i watched with only a few breaks. It was always so thrilling and exciting. There was never a moment when i thought,"screw it i'm gonna make a break and watch another time" in the middle of the series (because i watch at viki it remembers the scene where you stopped if you didn't knew^^). I was always surprised that the episode was already over , because i was so stucked in the story.
This was one of the best dramas i have ever watched, because it was so .. i don't know how to describe it... but it was different. It didn't have a annoying second lead, because i didn't count Moon Ho as a potential love rival. Also it didn't have many drama clichees like piggyback rides or something. It wasn't really cheesy, neither was it overly sad or something. It was full of action scenes, which i really enjoyed.
When i thought "no you don't..." or "don't go that way...", it managed to surprise me. And I'm really glad that it didn't have the terrible ending like city hunter that I thought it would have.
The soundtrack of Healer was awesome. I enjoyed every song that was in it. But my two favourites where probably "I will protect you" sung by Ji Chang Wook himself and "Because of you" by Just.
This will possibly be one of my top 3 dramas of all time. And i would really really recommend it to those , who haven't watched or consider to watch it.

at first i wasn't impressed, because i don't really like it when the main character is a little older, but i forgot about that after the 1. episode already.
now let me tell you how awesome this drama was.
what made the drama outstanding for me were many things
- first it was a very brilliant idea to make a drama about a man with split personalitys, i personally think, it's hard to act as many people at the same time in a drama. but you really believed that the personalitys are different. of course you know it's the same actor or person, but i didn't get that feeling while watching.
- which leads to my second point: the acting. i don't know how to put it in words, how awesome i think the acting was. ji sung pulled the characters of so great and believable. you start to recognize which character is coming out, the first second he looks at the camera. I never saw a actor so awesome until now.
- the characters he portrayed were so lovable. there wasn't even one of his personalitys i disliked (well i've got to admit i didn't like se gi at first. but after a few episodes i felt so bad for him, that i started loving him)
- the plot twists are amazing and so creative, that i had to catch my breath. i expected a little things, when the hints were given, but what they made of it was so much more shocking, than what i thought of.
- i kinda suffered of second-lead-syndrome again, but in a way that made it not awful to watch. i really really loved the second lead, but i didn't want him to be together with her. it didn't made it less hurting at the end (i cried so much), but i felt relieved, that he still accepted it .
At the end i have to say this drama made me feel worse at the end, than healer did. Because i still have to look for a new drama and hate that it ended, but i really feel like i lost a good friend, the moment i watched the last minute.
Please please watch it. You definitely won't regret it, because so far it's one of the best dramas this year.

First of all you think this is a sweet movie (unless you haven't heard from everyone how sad it actually is and how much they cried), because the daughter is so adorable and her father is soo goofy it's really sweet.
But then when the father is taken away from her, because he has to go to jail, you're already about to tear up... or at least me.
I can't describe how much i loved this movie, because it was so funny and sweet, but at the same time so heartbreaking.
I loved every character from the adorable little daughter over the people from cell no. 7 to the jail gurad and the chief (with little exeptions... you know who).
The story is told really great and it leaves you wondering about a few things like unfair treatment and false accusation (which leads to unfair treatment of course).
In the end i cried so much, i really coudn't breathe. It was the first time i cried so much since hachiko i think..
And if you haven't seen it you should obviously watch it, because of it greatness. But beware: Bring at least 2 boxes of tissues with you.
