Personal Meaning

I LOVED this drama. I'm sitting her crying because it's finished. Not only is Ji Chang Wook (who plays Healer) so handsome, he's also a great actor. The story has no holes and it goes fluently trough out the whole series. The character were so good. The had dept and their little quirks. I could see their development, which is something I always look for in a series. The chemistry between the main characters were beautiful. I found my self really emotionally invested in the characters. The ending was so good. There was something that broke my heart the second it happened, but it luckily it turned out fine. It was something I didn't expect at all, and I was so shocked and i Cried and Cried. Those of you who've seen the last episode probably know what I mean. I'm trying really hard to not spoil anything.

All in all I really, really enjoyed this drama. It is definitely one of my favorite dramas of all time. I give it a rating of: 9.9 out of 10.

Personal Meaning

This is one of my favorite dramas. It was never boring and the story had a great flow. It had moments that made me cry, smile, laugh, cringe and so on. I loved all the characters and their little quirks. There wasn't any holes in the story. I liked the ending. It didn't leave any loose ends. I wished something more would happen in the end. something big that the series could have build up to. I feel like solution was to easy. 

SPOILER ALERT: I wished we could see what happened with Yoon Yoo Rae and the cap. And I loved how it ended with the interview. It ended where it started, in a way. 

All in all I really enjoyed this drama and I give it a score of:  9.5 out of 10.

NOTE: This was just my personal opinion, I don't expect everyone to agree.

Personal Opinion

I went into this series not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. My Saturdays and Sundays were quite boring, so I wanted a drama I could watch these days. I was pleasantly surprised. It's kind of a romantic comedy which I don't usually watch. It did get me to cry in the start when they explained the past to Sa Geum Ran. The first half was really good, but it got a little more boring towards the end. I liked the ending. It tied up all the loose ends, but I wished something more would happen at the end. It went a little to smoothly for it to be interesting. The love  between the main characters was a little off. I can't put my finger on it, but there was something I didn't like. That's why I don't give the drama a top score. 

All in all I enjoyed the drama and I give it a score of:  7.5 out of 10

NOTE: This was just my personal opinion, I don't expect everyone to agree.
