Heelreo

Heelreo (2014) 

A surprisingly good series. What made it good for me was above all the main character: not that Min-Young Park's acting was revolutionary, but she had a strong character, didn't get angry or hysterical over all the little things, and really acted like a rational person (to the point where I almost cried with bliss). Plus, she didn't let her weakness get the better of her. Please, more heroines like that in Korean soap operas! It was done without all the crying and blackmailing scenes. Where perhaps other writers would have let the Healer's helper get jealous of the heroine and cause some trouble, here they avoided it, all pulling together and being capable. It's true that sometimes they made the villains way too foolish (by that I mean idiotic), but the main antagonists weren't stupid and some of them even had consciences. Nothing was black and white, while at the same time nothing was pushed past a tolerable limit. It's true that I wasn't completely 100% entertained by the series here and there, but I can't really complain about anything else. I found the supporting characters extremely entertaining and interesting as well. Although I can very well understand that maybe some people might not enjoy it, because again, it doesn't go at such a fast pace, but that makes me feel like everything had its place and the right timing. I must admit that the series really surprised me, even took me by surprise, because I haven't seen such well-written characters in a long time (the last time was in It's Okay, That's Love, but that was something a bit different and it doesn't seem the most appropriate to compare). So if you're in the mood for a bit more action-packed reporting, reasonably romantic and humorous (and willing to turn a blind eye to some of the "unnaturalness"), check it out. (11.02.2015)
