Ji Chang-wook and Kim Mi-kyung are back as “son” and “mother” in the new romcom Welcome to Samdal-ri. They were Healer and Ms. Jo in my favorite 2015 action dramedy Healer. I’m looking forward to this new series!

Yoo Ji-tae and Kim Hyo-jin
Did you know that Yoo Ji-tae and Kim Hyo-jin are married in real life? They were married in 2011 and have two children. They met as models in 2003 and only started dating in 2006, after some initial hesitation from Hyo-jin. They’re both on dramas right now. Yoo Ji-tae (Healer, Money Heist) plays a policeContinue reading “Yoo Ji-tae and Kim Hyo-jin”
JCW and PMY in Healer
I recently finished watching Park Min-young in Love in Contract (nice) and Ji Chang-wook in If You Wish Upon Me (meh). I love these two actors in almost anything they do, but my favorite will always be Chae Young-shin and Park Bong-soo in Healer.
Favorite KDrama Hacker
Who is your favorite KDrama hacker? The SamSanTech team of Start-Up? Rio from Money Heist? The brother of Young-woo from Extraordinary Attorney Woo? My favorite is Ms Jo, the hacker ajumma from Healer.
Suspicious Bad Guy
It’s the suspicious bad guy starter kit! Every predictable KDrama will have the suspicious bad guy who is wearing a black jacket or hoodie, black pants and boots, the black cap of invisibility, and a black face mask. Optional accessories: black backpack, black helmet, and in the pre-face mask era, the black sunglasses ala-Healer. SpeakingContinue reading “Suspicious Bad Guy”
Park Min-Young and Kim Mi-Kyung
In today’s episode of “Where have I seen this mother-daughter tandem before?”… Healer (2015) – although not cast as mother and daughter, KMK plays a mother figure to Ji Chang-wook’s character and by association, to PMY’s character.

Kim Mi-Kyung
The greatest KDrama Mother of all time award goes to… Kim Mi-kyung. If she’s in the cast as the mom or a mom figure, then you know for sure that it’s a great series. I first saw her in Healer, the second KDrama in my expanding list (the very first was DOTS). She was theContinue reading “Kim Mi-Kyung”
Ji Chang Wook
Exactly two years ago I didn’t even know who Ji Chang Wook was. And now I’m deeply concerned because he was exposed to Covid. Get well soon, Oppa. (Originally published on August 10, 2019) I know I’m very late to the KDrama craze so this review is for people like me who are only recentlyContinue reading “Ji Chang Wook”
Park Min Young
(Originally published on October 29, 2019) Park Min-Young I like her in rom-coms. She has the face for comedy: pretty enough to fall in love with, yet silly enough to be funny. I’ve seen enough shows to realize that not many actors can pull off comedy. I first saw her in Healer, my all-time favoriteContinue reading “Park Min Young”
