don't get me wrong. I pretty much have a great time watching it.

I was having a block in terms of watching k-dramas and decided to give Healer a chance since Ji Chang Wook is one of my favorite Korean actors (and again manages to hold his place). I really enjoyed the story a lot, the amount of clichés was impressive, but not in a way that was overwhelming or made me stop watching. Honestly, I found it easy to follow episode after episode and it took less than 3 days to finish watching.
I liked the cast and felt the chemistry between the characters, although the way the romance grew between them could have been better, I felt like the only reason there was attraction was that they knew each other as kids without knowing it.
Beyond that, I found the chapters very interesting, the action scenes were good and I managed to empathize with the characters.
But I must be honest, at some point I felt that the plot lost its way and just a bunch of random things happened that without being very convincing for the viewer turned out to be convenient for the plot itself, but I must say that I didn't care much and kept watching. On the other hand, I liked the ending, but it needed more emotion or maybe it's just me, I felt that it lacked depth in how some things turned out (like her relationship with his birth mother and what happened with Kim Mun Sik).
Anyway, yes I would recommend it for those who enjoy cliché stories, action and romance and are familiar with the characteristic structure of k-dramas.

The message is not helpful... but the acting and the action scenes were exciting.

I really had high expectations about this k-drama, how not to get excited with such a good cast and the performances really met my expectations, but about the story itself I do have some things to say. First of all, I consider that it is obvious that this is not the right k-drama to prevent and give knowledge about such a delicate subject as suicide, if that was one of its objectives it failed to achieve it, because at the end (as well as other kdramas of this style) they show this act as selfish and almost senseless, and that the one who commits it should be punished, which is very ineffective in most of the real cases. Using this resource is a bit risky and delicate, but leaving that aside and from my own point of view, I found the first part quite exciting and intriguing, the chase scenes were probably my favorite, however, in the second part it took a turn, although it was not my favorite, it still managed to capture my attention, unfortunately in its last two chapters it became a little boring and personally failed to move me enough, as it seems it was intended. I don't think it was totally bad, in fact it was okay, but I think some things could have been better executed (I clarify that I didn't read the webtoon, so I don't know how well adapted it was).

Give it a chance.

I think this kdrama is very suitable for marathoning, so much so that I finished it all in one day and enjoyed it. I think its length is sufficient, it didn't bore me nor did I think about fast forwarding through it, I think it had just enough of everything... except romance, although I guess I say that because I'm more used to this type of series containing more romance and that's why I expected more in the main characters. However, that doesn't detract from the plot of the series, the way the characters connected I thought was unique and certainly cute. Some people didn't like that the characters somehow didn't change that much over the course, but I think that's a pretty real thing, in the end our personalities are hard to change 180 degrees, but the characters did have a lot of growth and gained more wisdom about life, but they were still them at the end of the day, and that's fine from my perspective.
I want to highlight the cast, it was adequate and they executed it very well.

I would recommend this series without hesitation. I liked it.

Must watch..

Este drama llamó mi atención especialmente por la participación de Ji Chang Wook, uno de mis actores coreanos favoritos, y de Bibi, a quién hasta el momento yo no había visto actuar en dramas. No es el tipo de drama que suelo ver, aunque sí es un género que me ha llegado a interesar, y debo decir que me ha parecido muy entrenado de ver. The worst of evil logra retratar bastante bien desde lo corrupto que es el sistema, lo fácil que es usar a las personas sin importar su bienestar, y por supuesto cómo podemos vernos corrompidos por todo ello. Creo que las actuaciones estuvieron muy bien, lograron convencerme y las peleas fueron bastante crudas y hasta me hacían voltear la mirada por lo real que se veían las heridas. Incluso logró hacerme poner en el lugar de los delincuentes, llegué a sentir mucha empatía por Haeryun y más aún por Kicheul. Quizá me quedó un sinsabor porque no es el tipo de final que estoy acostumbrada, pero sí que es uno muy realista, vemos cómo todo esto que impulsó a nuestro protagonista a infiltrarse al final parece haber sido también perdido, el reconocimiento que recibe no es visto por nadie, aquel que consideraba cercano murió a causa de la investigación, su situación matrimonial no es la misma, y él tampoco parece ser el mismo después de haber hecho cosas que antes no hubiese concebido, hasta el punto de matar a aquel que dentro de todo este embrollo llegó a considerar su amigo o a guardarle algún tipo de respeto o afecto. Sin duda, bastante crudo. Si te interesa este tipo de tramas, lo recomendaría.

Mmmm idk.

I found this show very questionable sometimes. I was left with a bad taste with how the relationships started and the way they then took a turn did not please me completely, it was a bit hard to see the characters in a better way after how they acted the firsts times they met with her later partners, but the truth is that I enjoyed the show, excluding those scenes that bordered on the non-consensual things (between the couples), but for what I've seen in Thai bls this one has not been so bad. Undoubtedly, the ending was a bit rushed, I think it was a plot that could have been deepened more and in a better way, but well...

It was fine.

At first I had a hard time watching the whole first episodes, it seemed like pure comedy (I thought it was okay but I had other expectations) and the plot was just forming. A few episodes later the drama gets better, I admit it made me laugh and I binge watched the last 5 episodes. Anyway, I think it was very predictable, I immediately identified who the killer was but still wanted to know how and why he did it, also for me it was a bit rushed the way the main characters fell in love but I appreciate the effort.
I think the overall drama was fine, not the best but you can watch it to relax.

Seguiré esperando la tercera temporada...

En esta segunda temporada sentí que la historia se alargó mucho. En algún punto fue muy confusa la continuidad, hasta llegué a pensar que estaba viendo una historia distinto. Considero que las cosas que más nos interesaban y aportaban a la trama pudieron ser mejor ejecutadas o más ampliadas, tal vez está temporada sólo haya sido para darle sentido a la que saldrá en el próximo año. Honestamente , como un producto aparte me hubiese gustado más pero como continuación a lo que se había construido en la primera temporada, sentí un cambio casi que abrupto, metieron demasiados personajes e historias paralelas que poco llamaban la atención, creo que los dos últimos episodios fueron los mas interesantes y que me dejaron con ganas de ver el siguiente, a los anteriores me costó verlos.

Como punto a favor, el CGI mejoró, el ost me pareció bastante bueno, y la actuación también fue bastante buena.

Enjoy the romance

I just finished this kdrama and I think it will be one of those where I will ignore what I didn't like so much just because what I did like had more weight.
I decided to watch it when all the episodes were available and I think it was a good decision, I would have despaired of having to wait every week for a new episode, although I will admit I was a victim of spoilers.

Knowing all that, I think it was quite worth it, and in contrast to other opinions I consider it does deserve the hype. I clarify I'm not saying it was perfect because I agree that several things could have been better executed. However, knowing that I don’t dislike clichés and usually enjoys the usual structure of romance kdramas, this series was quite to my liking. Maybe it's because I have a weakness for these kinds of plots, it already happened to me with Twinkling Watermelon and A Time Called You.

Now, what things didn't I like so much?
Initially I feel it was hard to believe that the adult ImSol was in her teenage body as she was still behaving and making decisions like a teenager would from my perspective and that made me exasperated at times by her actions or attitude. I understand that she thought what she was doing was the best thing to do, but sometimes it was just like "was this necessary?"
Another thing was that the villain somehow ended up being just a flat character and they don't end up explaining in a more reasonable way why he had tangled himself into all their time lines so insistently. Yeah, he was a psychopath or something, but that's just so meh. Still without mentioning a word, he kept getting on my nerves, I just would have wished for a little more of background.
The same thing happens to me with InHyuk and TaeSung, I was delighted every time their characters came out on screen and I would have liked them to be included more, as in the end we are given to understand that specially TaeSung ended up being very relevant.
And about the grandmother, was she some kind of deity?
There were also moments when the transitions between times were so confusing, I didn't know if what I was seeing had happened before or after, then I could understand but I don't understand why it was so confusing.

Something I would have wished, this time very personal, is that when they met again in the final timeline they would have done it like the first time, with the rain and repeating the umbrella scene, it would have added many more points. However, that's not something so relevant lol.

Buuuut, like I said before, there were more things that I really liked so I was purposely ignoring all of the things I said before.
All of the romantic scenes had me giggling and kicking my feet, the chemistry was on point, I should say. The male lead made me smile a lot, he was just too cute, sorry, I’m just too biased by WooSeok, he played that character really well. And speaking about acting, I think everyone did a good job.

I laughed a lot with the funny scenes and I was moved on many occasions, both sad and happy, so I must say that I enjoyed every chapter. Regarding the ost, I declare myself a total fan, the songs are all very good, they accompany the scenes well and I liked the ost so much that I will keep listening to it. “Sudden Shower" is just beautiful.

I liked the ending of the story because I did wish he would get his memory back, it would have hurt me that all those nice moments and the time they spent together went away.

I probably missed things, but the truth is that I would recommend it if you are the type of person who enjoys kdramas and doesn't dislike teen romances and time travel.

I will give it a high score because I certainly enjoyed it from beginning to end.

ummm well

I just finished this show and I have some things to say.
I found the beginning of the series intriguing and it managed to catch my attention, however, as the series progressed I felt that I lost connection with the story and the characters, which didn't seem to have a major development within the plot. In the end, everything was just cruelty and sadism leaving aside other aspects that would make us as viewers feel something more than just disturbance. I don't think the show did everything wrong as it somehow made me want to finish the episodes but I do feel, and I agree with other reviews, that it lacked something more. Also, there were a lot of plotholes and things that didn’t make sense (like they could just buy a toilet in the common room). anyway I give it a 7.

Enjoyable but I was expecting a little bit more.

My initial motivation to watch this k-drama was all the hype I saw on social media and the success it had in view ratings. I must say that to some extent, it is quite deserved, but my expectations were much higher because of it. I don't want to say I was disappointed, because the truth is I thought it was enjoyable but I expected more.

It is curious that this k-drama uses a number of tropes present in other series, but manages to execute them all and everything turns out good for the characters. We saw terminal illnesses, chaebol family heiress x middle class protagonist, family traumas, destined souls who met as children, villain who's only motivation is to be obsessed with the female lead, memory loss, car accident and even more. I honestly felt like I was watching a soap opera but with less chapters.

I have a few problems with the main characters, especially with the idea that the male lead actively wished for her to die, I understand that he was having a hard time, but we are given to understand that he always loved her even though he had forgotten about it, so from there to him being okay with her dying is a bit brutal.... Plus that was showed up as funny thing, and well, that didn't convince me. Also, most of the time I couldn't empathize much with the female lead, at times she was just unbearable, I must admit, then I started to like her a bit more, so you could say there was character development but a bit forced. Also, the way they tell us the story and mix it with memories of the past I think it could have been done better, that's my perception, and yes, everything was connected, but there was no surprise factor.
The villains from the beginning we know they are villains, and they only fool the most naive. I would have liked a little more construction of those villains, something that makes their reasons more interesting than simple "I want to have money" or "I want her to be with me".

But leaving that aside, I think the story stands on its own, it's interesting, funny at times, it has endearing characters, good acting (although I don't know why in all the kdramas I've seen the foreign actors talk like robots lol), and of course, the happy ending we like.
Also it has particularly a good osts with good songs that I'll probably keep listening to just because I liked them.

I think I would recommend it, not with so that hype, but I think it's good and achieves its purpose to entertain.
