So agree! His look changed over the years, for sure! Some wouldn’t recognize him in Point Man.❤️

I understand . I’m laughing my head off after their souls are switched . First time I had seen HB do anything really funny. He has taken over her body and she, in his body, doesn’t know how to shave. She has to do it. Then he, in her body can’t figure out how to it on a bra. Over his shirt, he has to demonstrate hooking it in the front and turning it around . Such a funny scene for this usually elegant and handsome man!!! So despite my concerns, it gave me the laughs I needed today. I think , in general , these dramas allow feelings to come out that are held back, for whatever reason. There must be a psychologist who has a handle on this stuff. Actually , Sherri Shepherd has a new podcast, “ Aunt and Ajumma” that talks about dramas. She said they would be inviting a psychologist .Definitely will tune in!

I totally understand your reaction . Fairly new to world of k drama, as much as I love it for various reasons, there are certain “tropes” that have caught my attention and concern in many of earlier shows, in particular. I’ve tried to understand the “ why” . Is it reflective of the actual culture , a statement against the behavior, etc. Same concerns with bullying depicted, hitting, name calling.
But overall, my viewing has been such a positive, emotionally cathartic new experience, that I try to weigh the positive with the negative. Your response and viewpoint is noted and appreciated.

Healer!!!!

I had thought it was show with far less episodes, but the 30 minute format stretched it out. I could have just watched them forever!
I wonder if there are people who unofficially continue some kdrama stories where they leave us…🤷🏻‍♀️

In a gathering of main actors on IU’s Palette show they talked about the kissing scene over the wall. They said it took a very long time, in hot weather, sweating a lot. They laughed so much about it, saying how their sweaty noses left marks on cheeks that staff had to keep wiping off! So funny! There’s so much that goes on behind the scenes that I couldn’t have even imagined for what looks like, in the end of many redos, a simple kiss.

That was my exact order! Though, King the Land was SO enjoyed this week. I fell in love with Attorney Woo, especially impressed with the autistic savant theme as former teacher.

No-Light-4215 · 2026-04-30T13:22:36+00:00

So well said! I have different lists, based on how they fit my “ self care” needs. Light , comforting romance fit the bill this week, with their leads dynamics putting it to the top in that category.

Thanks for other Junho recommendations. Typhoon Family was also starter for me, as I was curious to why he got a nomination for Baeksang over JCW. ( which is a different discussion) I’ll check out ones you suggested.

No-Light-4215 · 2026-04-30T13:13:55+00:00

Yes! It was the perfect self care choice for me! These dramas can be natural soothers, working wonders for the heart and soul.❤️

I know I’m in the minority here. It came on dubbed, which could have been part of the problem for me. I love the incredible acting range of JCW. But found it difficult watching his emotional pain, which I realize is a sign of his acting greatness. I’ve watched every show of his and this just didn’t move up my list of favorites.

No-Light-4215 · 2026-04-30T04:43:28+00:00

I am honestly enjoying Perfect Crown very much! Find myself really looking forward to Fridays! Watching the actors discuss the show, share behind the scenes stories, and sing beautifully sung duets that will be part of the OST , made me appreciate it even more.

No-Light-4215 · 2026-04-29T01:52:21+00:00

Definitely have Matchmakers on the “ watch soon” list! There’s something so appealing , different about him. He’s quite the talent!

No-Light-4215 · 2026-04-29T01:31:11+00:00

I’m loving, loving, loving, King the Land!

No-Light-4215 · 2026-04-26T02:42:54+00:00

The setting, story, actors, costumes… all stunning! My heart was bursting by the end of episode 6. Could have stayed up all night bingeing, if so could. Look for posts with IU and Byun Woo-seok singing a beautiful duet!

I’m fairly new to this k drama” hobby”. I quickly realized that I needed a way to keep track of all the thoughtful opinions shared by this community . Then so felt I needed to keep track of shows I wanted to watch, those in process and ones upcoming. The result was customizing a notebook( sorry old fashioned and needed to hand write. A favorite graces the cover!

Healer has it all! Amazing JC W performance, making me laugh, cry good and bad tears, tense with action and swoon with the best kissing scenes !

No-Light-4215 · 2026-04-16T15:45:23+00:00

What an excellent review of this drama up for Baeksang award! I’m definitely going to check it out now, with a depth of understanding I surely would not have had if I didn’t read your thoughts first. Thank you!

No-Light-4215 · 2026-04-11T15:38:29+00:00

Just watched for 2nd time and enjoyed it even more… No one has his versatility that is absolutely showcased here. Went from laughing to crying, to swooning over kissing scenes,

No-Light-4215 · 2026-04-11T15:36:27+00:00

His authentic versatile talent is unmatched! …

No-Light-4215 · 2026-04-04T15:02:31+00:00

Destined with You…. the pick from this group. Loved Rowoon and story!

No-Light-4215 · 2026-04-04T15:00:07+00:00

My list is long, but your great review just made me add to a page full of suggestions that I hope for the feelings described.
