I have tried Vagabond after seeing so many great reviews, and I have to say that I am not at all disappointed. In the first episode, it started off comedic in the first half of the first episode, and then the story suddenly started with the crash of B357 aircraft.

The story caught up on me from the very beginning, and the cliffhangers just kept me coming for more and more. The action is quite amazing and the fight choreography is also good, except I didn't like the excessive use of shaky cam, it threw me off so often. The music is great to listen to and the acting is, I would say good enough to watch without any problems. The lead of course screams so often, not sure if it is over the top or whether he is just venting off by screaming.

Oh and note that the story doesn't end at the end, in fact, it just opens up more corruption within the country. So I really hope there will be a second season.

I write this review after just finishing Healer, this is my second Korean Drama, the first being City Hunter. I got to watching it as I said there are similarities between the two, and it sure is correct.

Healer is a decent drama, made better by the cast it offered. The story was intriguing enough to come back to watch, though at times the pace varied up and down. For some odd reason, the music wasn't too memorable, except for maybe the main theme itself., it didn't exactly strike the chords perfectly for me.

My only complaint would be the ending, I am not going to spoil it but I felt as if the ending was rushed completely. It tried to cram in so much in a period of one hour that I got confused here and there, it would have been better if it was maybe fleshed out to two or three episodes than just one, would have made the drama even more better. The ending is the reason I decided to lower my rating, but nonetheless, it was a fun ride while it lasted, and most of all, the characters are memorable.

This is going to be a short review, as it has been quite a while since I finished watching it and I kind of forgot to review it.

Just as the title says, Nine Times Time Travel is an intriguing time travel tale.

The concept of using incense sticks to travel back 20 years into the past is unusual, but what captured my interest the most is the fact that the timelines of the past and the present parallel. Ever since Park Sun Woo (the lead) time travels for the first time, the two timelines are now made parallel. Any change that occurs in the past takes immediate affect in the future.

But I guess what I disliked the most is the poker face of sort that Sun Woo always put up. It's kind of expressionless but at the same time, he can express so much.

This is the first Korean Drama that I have finished watching, and I have to say, this is quite an addicting experience. The cliffhangers at each episode kept me coming for the next episode, the story is intriguing and well fleshed out, though it drags out a bit here and there. But the thing which stood out the most was the soundtracks, it was just amazing! I literally had chills listening to the soundtracks play with the scenes and for the most part, they suited the scenes pretty well. The next thing which amazed me was the acting. I read a few comments of some poor acting and I don't see how, all of the people were perfect in their roles, especially Prosecutor Kim Yeong Ju.

Overall, the drama was amazing and I would perhaps rewatch sometime in the future.
