The acting is what makes this drama worth watching. There really doesn't feel like there is any tension in the story line and it was created by the actors. I'm a huge fan of Soo Hyun Joo and he didn't disappoint as Min Jae. Go Soo as Tae Joo and Lee Yo Won as Seo Yoon are also really good. I don't know if I was supposed to feel so much hate toward Seo Yoon, but I did. The one character I was routing against was her. I hoped she would lose everything the entire drama. In a way she did. There are tons of other good actors in this drama also.
The music is really good and appropriate.
I will never rewatch this.
I think some people would find this boring. If you like great dialog and good acting, then this is the drama for you.

Zhao Zanilia is really pretty and I like the way she expresses herself. I think I will watch Boss and Me soon. Chen Xiao is also a good actor and really cute. I think they had great chemistry together. All of the acting is good.
I enjoyed the music.
It is too long to rewatch.
If you like strong women characters and great cinematography then I recommend this drama.

The most compelling part of this show is what Jo In Sung did with his role. Very emotional and credible performance of a character with a pretty dark past. I do wish the show had a better focus on his character's story because it was really what kept me watching the show in the second half.
There were certain aspects of the story that left me pretty irritated. Perhaps the characters' quirks, frustating behaviour and decisions can be excused by the fact that this drama is celebrating how everyone has their own skeletons and "mental issues". Another thing is that there was so much talk of sex, especially in the first half of the show. I had a "whoa back off a bit" feeling towards that part of the story. Even then, I did appreciate some of the frank talk about sex in this show.
However, I did appreciate how the drama tries to explain mental illnesses to the layman viewer. It's a small but important step towards better treatment and understanding of mental illness.
Kudos to the music team for choosing non-Korean songs for the OST though.

Story:
Not the most original story but, the execution was perfect. This was my first Chinese historical drama but the amazing thing was that, I got sucked into it from the first episode. Somehow, it didn't feel foreign at all. Scarlet Heart deals with a throne succession and the complex political factions within the royal family. However, this drama is more about the people and their relationships. I think this was the reason why it was so addictive and compelling.
Acting/Cast:
Most of the cast portrayed their characters brilliantly. I've never cried as much as I did watching this drama. The actors were so good that whenever they cried, I cried with them. I know that often dramas use many tactics to make the audience cry but at no point did I feel like I was being manipulated into crying.
Writing:
Gosh, this is one drama I wished that I could understand Chinese. Even though I watched it with subtitles, the dialogues were simply beautiful. I can only imagine how much was lost in translation. I often teared up just from the things that the characters said. The characters were developed really well and so none of them were just good or bad. They were more like people who made bad choices sometimes due to circumstances or misunderstandings.
I found this drama to be incredible moving, because I could actually feel the love and the warm friendships between the characters.

I found it fascinating the things I learned about the operations of a world class airport. The drama was peppered with a series of action/crime plot lines typical of American programming and some of these scenes were a bit clunky but they served only as a backdrop and did not deter me from enjoying the drama at all.
I was also intrigued by the secret agent, black ops theme. There is always something mysterious about such occupation and Lee Jung Jae was both charismatic and enigmatic in that role. Choi Ji Woo was right on as the confident professional brought in to run the airport. The only minor complaint I had was her language skills. Her character was supposed to be fluent in 5 languages but she clearly struggled with the English scripts.
The romance was my taste with the hate at first sight, misunderstood theme and the chemistry between the leads was icing on the cake. The human struggles also shone through. I could identify with the choices Ji Sung had to make between his duty, guilt for Myung Woo and his love for Do Kyung. And of course, there was a very deserving second lead to spice it up.
I won't give away the ending but I have to say it was one that still gives me goosebumps to this day.

for this Drama. Because it deserves it!
I have always been a great fan of high-school-dramas, especially when they have
a "hero-like" main-lead :)
(maybe my addiction to them comes from Gokusen)
But for once I didn´t even plan to watch this Drama. By accident I clicked on it on a streaming website and I must say that this is one of the Dramas which are unexpected gems!
The plot was very well-done and it served it´s purpose. I was glued to the screen each time I was watching the episodes. I even put on-hold currently airing dramas such as "Kill me, heal me" only in order to watch a new episode of this Drama. Besides being a light watch, it involves a few darker themes as well (such as disappointment, bullying, betrayal etc). In my opinion it was the perfect mix of them. My favorite part weren´t only the held speeches but the presidents encouraging of her classmates, teachers etc in the middle of each episode were really touching as well.
I didn´t feel the need to stop to watch the Drama, like I tend to do with many melodramas.
But still it was enough to evoke excitement in me. Especially in the middle of the Drama.
As for the ending it didn´t quite satisfy me (no I won´t spoil it don´t worry) but then again it made me happy as well. You will see what I mean when you have watched it :=)
The female leading role (the president) seemed sweet and sincerly in her role. Her acting portrayed her innocence and ever growing strong will well, though I wouldn´t say that it was outstanding.
It was enough for me that I felt along with her and I really enjoyed her role a lot :)
The male main lead was more like a mysterious side-character who played a major role in achieving her dreams. At first I thought he would only play a gloomy, minor role but it turned out to be different.
I wouldn´t say that I will miss his role as much as from the sweet president, but I really enjoyed the interactions between him and her.
As for the other roles I personally really liked the "platinum" group, the student rulers of the school. I would have wished for even more of their screen time. Instead they more likely became side-characters.
There was no actor/actress whose acting I found to be "bad" and therefor I gave 9 points for the cast.
This definetely isn´t a cheesy drama as you might expect from the synopsis and I am glad that I came to watch it. I can assure you that most likely won´t regret giving it a try as well. It will be worth the time!

Thank You does not have the glitz of the popular kdramas but it is a wonderfully well scripted, and well acted production. This is also one of my few favourite kdramas where the female leads are the stars of the show. I fell in love with eight year old Bom and her mother Young Shin. I watched in awe at the incredible acting skills of both.
Yes, it is a tear jerker but it is exceptionally well done, not overly melodramatic and it has its share of tragedies versus realistic outcomes; a perfect balance between sadness and happiness.
It has many of the staples of a kdrama; triangle love story, birth secrets, and serious illnesses but all woven beautifully together. It is a drama about family, love, conviction, and perseverance. It is a gem and is well deserving of my 10 rating.

1) the flashbacks. OMG SO. MANY. FLASHBACKS. I ended up skipping ahead often during last few episodes but I think it didn't detract from my experience as an audience. *happy face*
2) The female lead's screaming tendencies. My friend thought she was comedy gold and loved her hilarious screams, but it personally hurt my ears. I had to turn down the volume every time she looked like she was about to yell or shout---SHE IS HILARIOUS THOUGH I ADMIT.
3) The long kisses. ... Honestly, they just need to kiss already. THEY SPENT 30 SECONDS STARING AT EACH OTHER BEFORE FINALLY TOUCHING LIPS. Wth? But anyways, that's the editor's fault. The male lead Cha Do Hyun is actually an AMAZING kisser---I blushed several times during this drama. kekeke.
4) Episodes 16--20. Let me explain: the first half of the drama were mostly comedy with some sadness hiding behind it, but the melodrama poured through starting in ep. 16. It was lined with sadness after sadness, and I literally cried until I just couldn't shed tears anymore. LUCKILY, there are still quite a bit of comedy relief in those 4 episodes---so I was able to survive and come to love it.
But despite the flaws of Kill Me Heal Me, I loved it for it's sensitivity to D.I.D., and for its array of top notched actors who slayed the drama. *v*
Ji Sung is absolutely amazing in this drama. According to what ppl have said, HE ONLY SLEPT ONE TO TWO HOURS to film this. That's true dedication. Also, you have to understand that it's very hard to portray 7 different characters, but Ji Sung managed to nail the role. The female lead was also amazing. Everybody was amazing, tbh.
I personally loved the melodrama in the end because it was realistic. DID is not meant to be funny. Childhood tragedies are also not meant to be glossed over. I'm glad this drama actually took the time to show how horrible both things are--That alone gives this drama a high score.

As much as I love my usual rom-coms, Misaeng completely took me by surprise and gave me thrills and heart wrenching moments in every single episode. Some people find the pace slow, but it worked for me. I was engrossed with each and every character and every single plot. I laughed and cried with the trio from Sales Team #3 and its group of supporting casts. It has unexpected moments and original story telling that is rarely seen. I absolutely loved it!
Give it a try. If nothing else, you will walk away with a few valuable life lessons.

Story: 10/10
I don't even know what to say about the story, everything was just perfect. The writing was written to perfection and the directing was absolutely put together so well. I will say this, each episode made me laugh till my stomach hurts, cry until I couldn't cry anymore, and make me fangirl like any other fangirl would
Acting/cast: 10/10
Man oh man did the cast break my heart and put it back together again. The acting and the cast were absolutely spectacular and incredible, and can we talk about Ji Sung because for me that man is an acting genius, he made me laugh, cry, angry, and just made me feel all the feels.
Music: 10/10
The music was amazing as well, so beautiful and mesmerizing at the same time.

My friend introduced me to this drama and I decided to give it a try considering it looked similar to City Hunter with the same female lead and everything. However, it exceeded my expectation and is so much better than CH. I marathoned this drama in two days and now I'm crying.
This drama gives you feels. Literal feels in the heart. Moreover, you'll fall head over heels in love with Healer/Seo Jung Hoo/Bong Soo/Ji Chang Wook. <33333 I don't know how I haven't heard of him before but after watching this drama, I'll definitely check out Empress Ki.
The think I liked the most about this drama was that it wasn't draggy anywhere. I've watched a lot of dramas and most of them tend to drag a bit close to the end. However, Healer not only didn't drag, it kept the pace going until the very last scene.
Also, the ROMANCE. omg... It felt so real, the chemistry was unbelievably convincing and awesome. You HAVE to watch it to know what I'm talking about. Ugh, JCW performed his role so well and so did PMY. They are both soo talented and loving in every way.
I'm still dealing with post-drama syndrome as you can see b/c I just can't believe it ended! I miss seeing Ji Chang Wook's beautiful face on my screen everyday. :( To deal w/ it, I've been watching BTS vids and stalking Ji Chang Wook ;)))) It's the only way to heal my broken heart ;(
Oh and! The music!! The instrumental music that always play at an intense scene is so good! I have been listening to it on repeat. The song "Eternal Love" is the main OST and I have to say at the beginning I wasn't such a big fan but after listening to it a few times, ofc I fell in love. lol
SO AFTER READING THIS AND YOU ARE STILL NOT CONVINCED TO WATCH HEALER, THEN YOU ARE GOING TO MISS THE MOST AMAZING DRAMA OF YOUR LIFE. lmao but srs, go watch it, it's totally worth it. :D

The drama is probably too long for the most people. I also don't like watching such long dramas but I am really happy that I gave it a chance. It definitely deserves a 10! I cried watching every episode. People who like cute romance with kisses won't get that in this drama, but romance showed with words is plenty in it :D There are dramas faaaar worse than this one but are better rated. That's what makes me really really sad! :(
I rated the rewatch value low because it is a long drama and it is too sad to watch it a second time. I liked the first third more than the rest.
Hopefully some people will give this drama a chance and see the real beauty of this drama, maybe some will also get life lessons from this show :)
