So I finally finished watching Healer and I can't believe I slept on it! Because it's actually so good?!! Like WHA!!!!! 😭😍😭

But then again, you can't blame me, considering it was aired in year 2015 👀 and I only started watching k-dramas from last year. So there's that too 🌝

I guess I kinda owe thanks to 'Marry my husband' and 'Welcome to Samdal-ri'. Because when I was looking up for new content to watch I saw Min young and Ji-chang names in the cast and was like 'Hey! I know them! I have seen their dramas recently!' So thank you MMH and WTS 🥹💛

As for Healer, yup you are right; I am going to watch it again 🙈 still not over the feels it give me in each and every episode, ranging from happiness to angst to fluffiness 😍🤩

I won't be lying but I was a bit disappointed with the way they ended the last episode. Too much stuff crammed in it and still some questions were left unanswered.

But oh well, such is life 🥲 you don't get everything ( I would have like them to see them get married)

There's now one more thing to do *cracking my wrists*; time to write fanfics of my new otp 🙈✊

Comparable to: From Now On, Showtime! (Kdrama); Sell Your Haunted House (kdrama)

A hilarious comedy thriller drama that unfortunately gets bogged down with unnecessary romance and bad editing. It definitely could have been a 10 episode series and it would’ve been a knock out series. Seo in Guk is phenomenal in this. He had just the right over the top humor and darkness to his character, while I absolutely love Oh Yeon Seo, the writing for her character was awful and didn’t fit right. For the romance I more so rooted for the secondary couple more. I guess I was hoping for more of a best buddy relationship for the main couple. Overall still would recommend to watch once if you love mystery comedies.

She was always supposed to leave, there was always an expiration date on her being there, being with him. There would always be a time for her to get back to her life in Japan. He had lied to himself enough that Jung-hoo pushed it aside. It would happen, it’s unavoidable. Why should she stay? There is nothing that you can give her. There was no life there, no security. He had helped, somewhat. And that was all he could do, and that should be enough.

It should be, but it wasn’t, it would never be. Moving behind her, he leaned down, his forehead pressed to her shoulder, before his arms sneaked around her waist, pulling her towards him in a bruising hug. It would be so easy to tell her not to go, to stay for a while.

Simple words, but impossible to say out loud, so he just held her, as if that was enough. It was selfish, but he couldn’t help it. And then what if something were to happen to her? He could track her, ahjumma would help him. But until what point? “ When are you leaving tomorrow? ” Whispered, he had wrapped himself around her, unwilling to let go.

Café Minamdang

This is a crime story that has a balance of suspense, action, comedy and romance. I loved the series. A team of an ex-profiler, ex-police and ex-NIS staff and a young inventor work in their café / Shaman house to hide their investigation operation where they want to find out who killed Prosecutor Han Jae Jeong. Things get complicated when Han Jae Hui and get team in the police start working on cases connected to Nam Han Joon's clients.

If you like crime stories with a good balance, you will like this one. It was series in the moments it needed to be and the situations and the way Nam Han Joon hides his talents under role of Shaman, makes you laugh, lighting the series.

[love-me-a-lotta-whump]

You may have mentioned this before. If so, pardon! But I'm curious to know your most recommended shows? Both amongst the current lineup but also your all time faves! - Noah

Noah, my friend, I am SO HAPPY you asked. I have no self control whatsoever so I will be answering this with a thoroughness nobody wants or needs. (also I will answer this question over and over for many reasons: 2 being that A- my tastes/favorites change on a damn-near hourly basis and C- I love dramas so much that I'll always be willing to talk about them!)

Side note: If you take a look at my Whump List Library, you'll see that links are highlighted in purple if it's a favorite (or one I simply really liked) It's safe to assume I recommend all of them but I'll go ahead and list my best of the best!

PLEASE NOTE: If you don't use any of the streaming services these dramas are on, I suggest DramaCool and KissAsian. There are other free services you can use but these two tend to work best for people.

UNDER THE CUT

Vigilante (MDL) - This is by far my favorite drama right now. Like- above all of the other ones that have ever existed. (That's saying something believe me) I'm not exaggerating when I say I watch it every single day. Every single day. I'm mak,ing a whump list for this one and I may have fanfics in progress.

Synopsis: After Kim Ji Yong (pictured above on both sides) witnesses his mother's brutal murder and her attacker's light prison sentence, he begins living two entirely different lives as an adult. On weekdays, he's a model student at the police university (left). During the weekends, he punishes criminals who'd received light sentences and continue to commit criminal acts with the name Vigilante (right). (MDL)

Fuujinshi (MDL) (Whump List) - If I had to choose a favorite Japanese drama, Fuujinshi would be my pick. Like, it's not even close. By a long shot. This drama was recommended to me to make a whump list for and I remain eternally grateful. This is one I rewatch a lot.

Synopsis: Osagami Kakeru is a blade master who is tasked with the mission of sealing the ''blades of filth'' called Kegareyaiba. These blades are born from the dark sides of people's hearts and make those corrupted by that filth murderers. However, with every blade sealed, the filth also affects Kakeru... (MDL)

Healer (MDL) (Whump List) - This is another one of my favorites! It was actually my favorite Korean drama before Vigilante came around. They're definitely similar but I will say that Healer is not nearly as dark as Vigilante. They do, however share some cast members!

Synopsis: Seo Jung Hoo is a special kind of night courier, known only as "Healer" by his clients. For the right price and with the help of a genius hacker, he gets his clients whatever they want, as long as it doesn't involve murder. His latest job leads him to a second-rate tabloid writer, Chae Young Shin, and the successful reporter, Kim Moon Ho. He begins to uncover the mystery of his own shared past with the two reporters, thus putting them all in danger. Can this errand-boy-turned-vigilante save everyone? (MDL)

Duel (MDL) (Whump List) - Another big favorite of mine! This drama has almost every trope you can think of, it's wild. This one has been one I've suggested to people since day one. If Duel has no more fans it's because I'm dead.

Synopsis: Jang Deuk Cheon, a hardened detective cop whose daughter is kidnapped, begins a chase against great odds to solve the mystery of his situation and find his child before it is too late. He starts to hunt down the suspect using the one clue he has: Two men with the same face were at the crime scene.

The Untamed (MDL) (Whump List) - If you know me at all, you know how much I absolutely ADORE this drama. It's my favorite Chinese drama ever and yes, it's another drama I watch over again a lot.

Synopsis: Wei Wu Xian and Lan Wang Ji, two talented disciples of respected clans, meet during cultivation training and accidentally discover a secret carefully hidden for many years. Taking on the legacy of their ancestors, they decide to rid the world of the ominous threat. But in a dramatic turn of events, Wei Wu Xian dies. Sixteen years later, Wei Wu Xian is brought back to life through a self-sacrificing ritual. He conceals himself behind a mask and assumes the identity of his summoner. Soon, Wei Wu Xian reunites with Lan Wang Ji and they start working together to solve the mysteries of the present and unravel the truth behind the events in the past. (MDL)

Weak Hero Character Names

For those who don't know, the Weak Hero webtoon anglicized a bunch of the characters' first names from Korean to English. They don't do this for newly introduced characters anymore AFAIK, but all the names they anglicized initially have been kept that way.

Since I've gotten a few people asking about the names, so I decided to compile a list of their original Korean names. You can find amost of these on their character profiles on the Weak Hero fandom page, but I figured people would appreciate having a quick reference that is all in one place. Hopefully this helps people learn/connect their original names.

Remember, this is not a full character list, it's for finding the Korean names of the characters that had their names anglicized.

The format will be:

Anglicized Name -> Korean Name (common alternative romanizations will be in parenthesis)

Eunjang High

Eugene Gale -> Seo Juntae (Jun-tae)

Gerard Jin -> Jin Gayul (Ga-yool)

Gray Yeon -> Yeon Sieun (Shi-eun)

Phillip Kim -> Kim Pilyoung (Pil-young)

Rowan Im -> Im Juyang (Ju-yang)

Teddy Jin -> Jin Taeoh (Tae-oh)

Daehyeon High

Dean Kwon -> Kwon Hyeokjin (Hyuk-jin)

Jake Ji -> Ji Hakho (Hak-ho | Hagho)

Timothy Park -> Park Taegi (Tae-gi)*

Ganghak High

Jared Sun -> Seon Jongwon (Sun Jong-Wan)

Toby Kim -> Kim Dosik (Do-sik)

Wolf Keum -> Keum Seongje (Sung-je)

Hyeongshin High

Forrest Lee -> Lee Sehan (Se-han)

Myles Joo -> Joo Seungjin (Seung-jin)

Robin Ha -> Ha Minjo (Min-jo)

Sam "Grape" Lee -> Lee Gongsam (Gong-sam)

Yeo-il High

Donald Na -> Na Baekjin (Baek-jin)

Yoosun High

Harper "Helmet" Ha -> Ha Huicheol (Hee-chul)

Hugo Yoon -> Yun Hoyeong (Yoon Ho-young)

Jack Kang -> Kang Jeongyeon (Jung-yun)

Jimmy Bae -> Bae Jihun (Ji-hun)

Other Recurring/Relevant Characters

Bryce Oh -> Oh Beomseok (Beom-sok)

Julia Chae -> Chae Yujin (Yoo-jin)

Kenny Ji -> Ji Gwangseok (Gwang-seok)

Lala Lee -> Lee Minji (Min-ji)

Lily Nam -> Nam Jeongah (Jung-ah)

Wesley Song -> Song Baekkyu (Beak-gyu)

(* These names weren't on the wiki, so I looked at raws.)

Miss Night and Day

After becoming a potential witness to a murder, a girl who changes to an old woman during the day must catch the murderer while also keeping her secret.

Lee Min-Jin has spent most of her 20s studying to become a public servant. After a night of drinking, she discovers that she turns into an old woman during the day and back into her younger self after the sun sets. During the day she works as an office assistant to  Gye Ji-Ung, a prosecutor who is determined to find out what happened to his mother.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like Miss Night and Day. A first it seemed like a strange concept and I wasn't sure how well they would do keeping it straight. But after just a few episodes I was hooked. I was waiting, rather impatiently, for the next episodes.

I loved the chemistry between Lee Min-JIn, played by Jung Eun-Ji, and Choi Jin-Hyuk as Gye Ji-Ung. I just kept waiting for them to finally say something to each other and when they did, it was perfect.

Lee Jung-Eun as Lim Sun, or Lee MIn-Jin's older self was also amazing. She did a fantastic job playing a young girl trapped in an older woman's body. She was funny and really stole the show.

I've seen a lot of shows recently where the show is so amazing until the last episode and the ending falls short. This is not one of those shows. I loved the ending and it was the perfect way to end all of their stories.

Aside from the romance, the story of the disappearances and the murder was also great. It kept you on your toes and when you finally piece it all together it's exciting. I do wish more was done with the character of Ko Won, played by Baek Seo-Hoo. He deserved more.

Miss Night and Day is on @netflix and I highly recommend watching it.

Crazy Love. 9

Story: 8

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10 👌

Comparable to: Her Private Life (kdrama) Crash Course in Romance (kdrama) ; Introverted Boss (kdrama); The Secret Life of My Secretary (kdrama) ; What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim (kdrama)

You have to go into this with your brain off and absolutely love romcoms in order to appreciate and enjoy this series. It’s off the wall bonkers and well like it says in the title crazy. It’s full of many twists and also sometimes gets very dark and ridiculously absurd. The storyline is very well executed and the cast throughout is phenomenal, especially the main leads (on a side note Kim Jae Wook never disappoints in the romance department especially the kissing scenes) Yes this drama probably won’t be for everyone, but it definitely should be on those who love romance comedies. Definitely highly recommend!
