I gave the story a 6.0 because while it was so similar to the first season, it worked the first time. I didn't give it anything higher because.... it was so similar to the first season.
The acting/cast is a 4.5 because this may well be the most annoying characters I have ever experienced in my life. Between Hotaru's inability to make an decision, let alone formulate actual words, and even in her mind only thinking "boss", "boss", "boss" every five seconds....... and Takuma's mentally abusive treatment of the woman he alleges to love, I seriously couldn't stomach it. Of course, that may be less a matter of the acting, and more a matter of the writing, so I admit my score in this area is probably unfair.
I gave a 1. 0 to the music because if there was music, I have no memory of it. Evidently it left no impression.
Rewatch Value is an energetic Heck No! Otherwise known as 1.0. I won't go near this drama again ever. I enjoyed season one, so I'm bummed about season two.
If you don't want to be thoroughly bothered, and want to avoid hating the characters you learned to like in season one, stay away from season two. Just enjoy the happy memories.

The story was OK. I think it could have been shorter and there really wasn't enough going on to sustain the length of the show. If you like a vampire story it's solid, but it had so much potential. There are plenty of slow episodes that could have been done away with and we could have more information about Kim Sung Yeol at the end.
Lee Soo Hyuk was excellent. I've only seen him in HSK and I hated him, but this role really suits him and he revels in it. If you're a fan of his, definitely watch this drama, you'll love the scope he's given and what he does with it, he's absolutely mesmerising to watch and plays his character perfectly.
I've never seen Shim Chang Min in anything before. He played his character believably and put in good work, he was likable when he should be likeable and horrible when he should be horrible. I cared about him too.
Kim So Eun. I'm adding her to the list of women capable of playing good strong accomplished characters. She was exceptional and so was Jang Hee Jin who i really didn't like in the beginning but by the end I really wanted her to be happy and I was proud of her and her hard work.
Lee Yu Bi is solid as Jo Yang Seon. There's nothing too special about her. At first I thought she was a bit too much like Park Shin Hye in You're Beautiful, but then she settled into her character and I really cared about her by the end.
Now, Lee Joon Gi. Sigh. He's either over-acting (screaming, crying and writhing) or not acting at all (staring). The only reason I cared about him at all is because I wanted Jo Yang Seon to be happy. I'm pretty sure the king says as much at some point. I'm SO GLAD HE WENT TO THE MILITARY INSTEAD OF PLAYING CHOI YOUNG IN FAITH. I felt like he was trying to mimic that character and the way Lee Min Ho played it instead of making Kim Sung Yeol his own, and it's sad, because we all know he can act.
Overall, there was so much potential here and one of the best bad guys ever and it's such a shame that it wasn't enough to make this drama good enough. As for the ending...sigh - without giving anything away, there's just no excuses for that kind of mediocrity. no excuses at all. Cut the guff from the middle and use that time to make a proper end.
The music was all over the place. Too loud, too mediocre, used inappropriately. I found it annoying when it should have been contributing to my feelings towards characters and plot points.
While I don't regret watching this drama, I won't ever re-watch it.
I'll recommend this drama for people who are fans of any of the actors except Lee Joon Gi. Otherwise, just skip it and spend your time on something better.

I actually watched this after I finished watching Rookies, just because I thought Ichihara Hayato was cute. Plus Suda Masaki, Yamazaki Kento and Chiba Yudai are also in this. So I was like, why not try the first episode?
I'm very thankful that I gave this drama a chance because it's so damn amazing. It's like all of a sudden I'm pulled into the story, making it hard to stop watching it. The acting was good too, it made me cry at all the right scenes. You can pretty much feel the desperation that the main characters felt all throughout the drama, as they tried to escape and run to achieve what they needed to do.
Over all, this is one of those memorable dramas that I wouldn't mind watching again and again.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
I only watched this show by accident because I didn't know that this show exists and I only watched this because I felt heartbreak on DOTS Ep 13(when it was on-going). At first, I really can't understand the first episode because I don't know what Healer's purpose though; But as I watched the episodes, I carefully understand the story. Before I came on the half of the episode, I re-watched Ep 1-8 in order to understand more the story.
ON THE CHARACTERS
Ji Changwook as Seo Junghoo/Park Bongsoo/Healer - My first impression on Healer was a anti-hero lead but as the story goes on he has a good heart and he is only searching about his father's past, Healer's stunts and actions scenes amazed me and much better than City Hunter. Ji Changwook's portrayal as Healer is DOPE. He really fits this role and I FELL INLOVE WITH JI CHANGWOOK ON HEALER! <3
Park Minyoung as Chae Youngshin/Oh Ji An - One of the bravest female that I've seen even though her weakness is when she feels violated, I like the way when she is with Park Bongsoo(They also looked cute!) Park Minyoung's portrayal as Chae Youngshin also amazed me.
Yoo Ji Tae as Kim Moonho - At first I thought he's the second lead who will have a crush on the female lead but good thing is he's does not have a crush on a female lead. He's also one of the second lead that I like because he only protects the two main leads.
Kim Mi Kyung as Hacker Ahjumma/Jo Min Ja - ONE OF MY FAVORITE AHJUMMAS IN KDRAMA LAND! I was really amazed on her hacking skills! How I wish I also have her skills like her!
OVERALL PLOT/STORYLINE OF THE DRAMA
It has a small differences on City Hunter's storyline though as you watched the entire episodes it's really different, the only difference is the male lead's occupation; City Hunter is a prosecutor and a freedome justice fighter while Healer is a junior reporter and a night errand guy or night courier guy. The Good thing about Healer was he does not seek revenge about his father's past and he only wants truth behind it and also he is not a guy-with-a-gun lead.
Tbh, I have also a roller-coaster feels on this drama because you'll only not feel intense but also you feel love on main leads. Ji Changwook and Park Minyoung's Chemistry is <3 they look good together!
MORAL LESSON OF THE STORY
Truth will set you free. You don't need to hide who you are or your bad experiences because it was already done in the past and you need to move-on.
9/10. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO WATCHED CITY HUNTER. MUST-WATCH

The age gap wasn't as much of a sticking point as I thought it would be. When it does come up, it's more so from keeping appearances, and personality standpoint.
I am pleased that there wasn't a love triangle in this drama, there is a love line but it doesn't go the malicious route that most love lines do.
This is the third drama that I've watched a drama with Seo In Guk (Master's Sun and Reply 1997 being the other two) and it was nice seeing him take on a dual role. He was able to bring the youthful/playful side as Min Suk, and the mysterious/mature within Hyung Suk's character. Even though I kinda wanted to see more of Hyung Sik's character, the bits that we did of home was enough for me taking into account the overall progression of the story.
I have never watched a drama with Lee Ha Na but she was a delight as Soo Young. She really nailed the quirky mannerisms of the character such as her posture, and facial expressions without me feeling that she was phoning it in. Also, kudos to the wardrobe department for making Soo Young for reflecting her personality with overdoing it.
Lee Soo Hyuk is the perfect brooding second male lead as Jin Woo.
Other than the scenes with Lee Ha Na and Seo In Guk, the scenes between Seo In Guk and Lee Soo Hyuk were a favorite of mine. Their playful banter kinda brings out the more genuine side to Jin Woo, where he doesn't have to be serious all the time.
Another thing that I loved was how we got to see the tertiary characters outside the realm of the primary/secondary characters. Jin Woo, Yoo Ah, Tae Suk & Duk Hwan, the Retail Team, and (most importantly) Grandpa. No one was put on the back burner for the sake of the main characters' story.
The chemistry between the two main characters was the driving force in my enjoyment of this drama. By the end, both characters helped bring out the best in each other. Min Suk sees Soo Young for what she is, but his love for her aids in her becoming a "cool, modern woman." While Soo Young helps Min Suk see that hockey isn't the end-and all be-all for him.
Although the last two episode felt a little rushed to me, there was an overall cuteness to it that I enjoyed and everything came full circle for Min Suk and Soo Young. There were subtle references that connected the finale with previous episodes. As an aside, Seo In Guk is a good kisser.
Jung In's "As Life Goes On" and Seo In Guk's "The Way to Come Back" are standout songs from the OST.
All in all, this was a light, fun drama that I thoroughly enjoyed.

The music was decent for the genre, nothing you would add to your ipod.
The story was something that originally looked interesting. However the write up is misleading. There were way more victims and very little of the underdog winning any battles throughout most of the drama, so in that was it was disappointing.
I wouldn't watch this again. It was hard to get through the first time. Depressing.

I loved the cast. I am such a huge Jang Hyuk fan, and Jang Na Ra has been steadily making her way to the top of my favorite actress list. However, I found Jang Hyuk's portrayal of Lee Gun difficult to watch. When he was being serious, hearts were popping around my head, but that laugh....even though they explained it....was too much for me. I cringed every time, all twenty episodes. I am sad about that, because I could watch Jang Hyuk all day. (Let's not get started on that hair)
HOWEVER, even though I loved the Korean cast, Chen Joe in the Taiwan cast delivered such a performance that my chest hurt. Her delivery of the terrified, pleading mother was moving and touching, while the Korean version really fluffed that entire event, watering it down for the Korean audience.
I am glad I watched it, but I would not watch it again. There are other dramas that I love the two main actors in, and would willingly rewatch rather than this.

Missão de Um Milhão de Dólares da Sra. Kim

The drama is generic yet fresh and different. There are slow and boring moments but mostly the show keeps a nice pace and has good dynamics, the balance between comedy and seriousness is really good. The acting, well... at first it seemed like the worst acting ever but the characters grew on me quite a lot and after finishing the drama I missed it right away. Some of the characters were ridiculous to the point it was actually hilarious and I guess, it's better not to take this drama too seriously. There is a certain brilliance to this whole drama if you ca get past the fact that it's completely ridiculous. All in all, the plot and everything in it was pretty realistic too.
Ah, and the chemistry! The chemistry! The chemistry between miss Kim and Moo Yeol is great, actually near the perfection. When they are together they are whole and when they are apart something is missing. Though, from the very beginning, they were a bit too comfortable with each other considering they had just met. And I'm surprised there is not contract dating and such, I was sure there will be one but actually, the dating thing wasn't important at all.

STORY - This isn't your typical chaebol/poor girl romcom story. Yes, the male lead is "rich" and the female lead "poor", but the essence is completely different. The way their relationship develops is pure magic. The two last episodes that were "fillers", as the drama was supposed to be 16 episodes, not 18, didn't have that "filler" feeling. They used them wisely to extend this excellent story. The other couples were so unique in their own way too. The other couples' scenes were entertaining, not boring like in other dramas. Also the second leads didn't finish the story like the "bad" ones. There was good character development in them. And, the ending. What a beautiful ending that was. It was so well written. Congrats to the writers, they did really well!
ACTING/CAST - Perfect. The lead couple's chemistry was so real. All their scenes portrayed the feelings incredibly well. The cheesy ones, were cheesy but not overly cheesy. The arguing ones felt real. And the hot scenes, were HOT. The passion in them was unbelievable. The other actors did really well too. My favorite was Ye Ji Won as Park Do Kyung's sister. All her scenes were funny and/or touching.
MUSIC - I've downloaded them all on my phone. As I'm more of a balladeer, my favorite song is "If It's You", but all the other ones were excellent and fitted nicely with their scenes.
REWATCH - I don't usually rewatch dramas, but this one is so good that I see myself rewatching this soon.
OVERALL - As I said above, I think this is my favorite drama from all time. It had everything, even the psychological part that I like so much and it's usually non-existent in romcoms. Also the moral of the story for me is that we should try everything we want to do, so that we don't regret it later. That touched me and changed my way to see life. To end this review, the phrase in the ending: "Please live. We are grateful that you're alive" touched me so much.
Everyone who's thinking of giving this a go or not, do it! You won't regret it. :)

The main actor was so cute about his feelings and when he was embaressed, i really loved his acting!
This drama was amazing from the start till the end! I was crying like a baby in last minutes of the episode thinking that something bad was about to happening ;_;
The music was soo fitting| God, when i heard a french OST here i thought " what!? why?" and then some characters had to talk in french so the others wouldn't know what they were talking about!
You should really give a chance to watch this!
