CAST - GREAT // OVERALL PLOT - Lack luster (Too over the top)
I know I am the minatory on this one, but here's what I thought about the drama.
I picked up this drama because it had raving reviews. I will admit, I'm not the biggest Ji Chang Wook fan, but he's a GREAT actor, so I can see why everyone loves Healer and all his other works.
The first half of the series was pretty light and good. There were mini-side stories and really added warmth and character development between the cast members. I REALLY enjoyed the side stories a lot, especially the girl who wanted to be in a musical.
The second half of the series pretty much killed my love for the drama. This is where it became a very angsty MELOdrama and I couldn't stand for this.
If you had to create the MOST annoying character on the planet, then yes, it's created and thrown into the drama for dramatic effect. You are talking about people who are 100% shameless and are so Over-the-top, You know the character is written to add shock value.
I couldn't stand the overall main-plot and storyline of the drama, which was basically why the ML was the way he was. His backstory was very hard to watch and not in a pleasant way.
There's a lot of moments you want to throw something at the screen and say, "hey, it's common sense to do ABC, but why are you not doing it?" oh it's because this is the driving plot of the story. Or, "I have a secret" and everyone knows it EXCEPT for the person that needed to know it.
I do LOVE the Casting. FL was spot on and the I'm a mega fan of Sung Dong II, so if you like the cast, it's there.
Anyhow, this drama was not for me and I'm glad everyone else liked it, but like I said, I couldn't get past the second half.
