Curador (2014)

Not my cup of tea

I feel bad because a lot of people have recommended this drama and I genuinly tried to enjoy it.

I think this one might just be me more than the drama. I'm more of a main character focus first then slowly get into plot - high stakes - larger than life conflict sort of person. This drama just failed to make me care about the characters.

When I first started watching the very first episode we hardly spent much screen time with the MC. There is just too much going on, so many overly complicated political nuances that I honestly do not have the patience to follow at this point in the story. I usually can appreciate the political side of dramas and the evil overlords that want to conquer the world and kill ML but with this one, because I barely had any information about ML and the situation at hand, I couldn't care less if he died or not. It's a bit of a structural problem... like they're introducing the bad guys and side characters first and ML and FL second. It just felt all over the place and very disconnected. I gave it five episodes and each one felt like a chore and homework mixed together. I had to keep tabs on everyone all at once and the backstory is not very engaging.

ML is charismatic and has um.. visual appeal, but other than that I'm not really seeing much five episodes in. He might get better in the future but if you haven't been able to properly introduce your ML in five hours I can't help you. His connection with FL- them knowing each other as kids but maybe not remembering is something that I've seen being handled so much better in other dramas. A picture of both kids sleeping next to each other is just not enough to make me relate to them. If you're having them be childhood friends at least have them be awake. I don't care for sleeping characters as an introduction.

FL is annoying... such a disappointment from her wonderful introduction being raised by thugs. All that goes out the window very quickly for the sake of rescuing her. I love me some damsel in distress actually, but it felt... forced here.

I did not care for Reporter guy or his backstory. Sorry.

Overall this drama lacks the binge factor/page turner/mystery aspect that makes me click the next episode. I might come back to it one day and give it a chance, but probably not at the time being.

Healer is that special snowflake of a drama that manages to combine action, romance, and some nice spots of comedy, all in one tight little show. And i like that badass healer!

the blend of adrenaline-pumping thrills, a truly sparky, heartfelt OTP, a deeply melty – yet flawed and believable – hero, and a courageous, strong heroine, makes for an exhilaratingly heady combination of feels that just sends my heart in multiple directions all at once.

Highly polished camera work and its very effective, very immersive OST, and it’s a combination that’s pretty darn hard to beat.

A worth watching drama.

ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE

I can't describe how much I loved this drama, everything about it was absolutely PERFECT is EVERYWAY. I loved every single second. It was so exciting, funny, adorable, sympathetic, sad, melancholic, action-packed, fast paced yet soooo many details and just an absolute masterpiece. The story was like mind blowing, it felt so original and just soo good to watch. I guarantee butterflies every minute of the drama, either because of the romance, the adorable comedy, exciting suspense or the awesome action. This drama was a true masterpiece. The Cast have done a FANTASTIC job like the acting in this drama is phenomenal! Huge fan of the ML after this drama and the FL was just dazzling. The music. THE MUSIC WAS AMAZING AmAZiNg like absolutely brilliant, especially the bgm during the scenes where the ML is jumping on rooftops and the action sequences their bgms were absolutely brilliant. DEFINITELY rewatch worthy and I don't rewatch dramas but this drama was a classic. Overall ABSOLUTELY phenomenal masterpiece that is literally perfect in everyway with exciting action-packed-suspense, adorable romance, melancholic backstories and brilliant comedy!???️ ??❤️‍???‍???

Strong start but lacking ending

I won't lie. I'm kind of upset writing this review because I just finished the show, and the ending left me unsatisfied. It was a happy ending, but I expected so much more. There were questions unanswered, and some of the scenarios that happened in the show did not really get fixed. I also felt like some of the characters and their relationships should have been focused and delved into more. I do have to say that I loved the idea of this show (the whole night errand thing). All the main characters and their personalities were fun to watch. The action and fight scenes were exciting and fun. The actors did a phenomenal job and were the main reason I went back to keep watching. I only wish the storyline could have taken a better turn in the last half of the show. I still think everyone should check 'Healer' out because it's different from the typical K-dramas you see. It mixes action, comedy, drama, and romance, and it does a good job at it.

I hadn’t expected to watch this kdrama as it didn’t fall into the rom-com genre that I seem to really like but I couldn’t believe how quickly I got sucked into this one. Granted, I spent a lot of time with my finger on the FF button through the action scenes as I get anxious when people get hurt. But, it was such a great story line, with complex characters, and a wide cast of them. I really felt invested in the growth and healing of the two main leads. I loved the chemistry between them. It’s a bit ironic that The Healer took the name but actually needed to find healing for himself.

Some nice entertainment after a hard day's work? There you go, friends!

A nice series, exciting, thankfully without love triangle, with many quite funny little incidents. The beginning was perhaps a little bit boring.

Good action, good pace in each episode, only the rushed ending was a bit over the top. Individually, there were hardly any crooks to catch, despite a lot of clues/evidence, but all the bad guys at once? And the whole thing with the help of an intellectual low-water mark of a police officer, who knew only one suspect for 5 years: Healer!

But anyway: Happy ending, what more could you want, when the bad guys are after all of us!

PS.: Last but not least: Good actors.

Good but not amazing

Let me start by saying that it took me almost a whole year to finish this series. I honestly thought I wasn’t gonna finish it.

I love Ji Chang Wook, he’s on of my favorite actors which is why I was looking forward to this drama.

I’ll list the things that I loved before getting into the negatives.

I loved the actors, whether it’s the main ones or the supporting roles. They all did an amazing job and they fit their role extremely well.

The chemistry between Ji Chang Wook and Park Minyoung is amazing. I have yet to see her not have chemistry with the actor she plays with, seriously.

Now, what I didn’t like. I didn’t like how long and very redundant it was in the beginning. Like I said, it took me nearly a year to finish this series and to watch 5 episodes.

The drama started to get good only on episode 10 and for a drama with that many episodes as 20 it’s way too long to be honest. It should’ve gotten to the point a lot quicker and have much less filler episodes.

I didn’t like how confusing it got sometimes with the case about the farmers and about the elder and the older brother.

Lastly I didn’t like how so many questions got unanswered. I would’ve loved to see a real interaction of Young Shin with her mom knowing that her daughter is alive after all these years, we never got that.

I would’ve also loved to see why the older brother did what he did and how he was blackmailed more in detail.

We also don’t get to see how the bad guys got what they deserved, we only saw that they got denounced publicly and the ones at the airport got arrested but we should’ve seen them in jail or something, I don’t know I just personally wasn’t satisfied with just the news coverage.

That’s it for my rambling.

To end it, overall although it might look like I didn’t like this drama I enjoyed it quite a lot which is why I gave it an overall of 8.

Perfection

My favorite Kdrama ever. I'll never get over it and I'll probably rewatch (the scenes between the ML and FL) several times a year.

Full disclosure: I watch Kdramas for the romance, and the romance here is TOP NOTCH. The background story for this one is fine. It makes sense and as an action plot device is pretty good. Most of the time, the background story helped add tension to the romance, so I only fast-forwarded through the action plot scenes during the last 4 episodes when I finally got tired of them and felt like they weren't adding to the romance. (Usually, I'm fast-forwarding through the non-romance scenes starting with episode 3).
