I like this drama because of Ji Chang Wook and Song Yoon Ah. The story itself and other actor/actress is just so so. Personally I like Ji Chang Wook better in Healer, but I gotta give him thumbs up for the action scene in the K2 and oh boy, his body is so manly and attractive. Ji Chang Wook is different than most Korean actor who sometimes can look like girls due to their small figure and hairstyle/make up. He’s definitely a hottie to watch for…

Action scenes are the best. Everything are good except go anna in the story. Shes like a design or accessory to the entire story. Rather the writer make her the stupider one. Praise to the villain step mom….
