Hello fellow Healiebers! I've been a lurker for it bit, decided to make an account after watching the Healer finale. I'm from Kayoforum and a friend of @nutella :)

 

It's probs an unpopular opinion, but I wasn't all that happy with the finale. So many unanswered questions.

 

 

 

1) So Myung-hee never found that CYS is Ji-an? What kinda bs is this?

 

2) What happened to Moonshik and Secretary Oh? Surely they have to receive some sort of punishment for their crimes, right?

 

3) There's still so many things CYS doesn't know about Jungho. When she finally discovered who he was in ep 13, and went to his hideout in ep 14, I understand that she didn't ask him all the barrage of questions that one would naturally so as to give him time, but she never asked those questions. Here's what she should have asked:

 

When did you start liking me? Why? (Must make another reference to the leopard analogy, which was forgotten in the finale)

 

She should have also talked about their childhood and how they've known each other for so long, that should have been brought up in the finale too.

 

4) Adding onto point 3, why didn't Jungho and CYS have any conversations about his role as Healer, disguising as PBS, etc? This seems like a natural thing to talk about so that she's aware of everything.

 

5)The whole thing about the Russia virus thing felt rushed, why was it included in the final eps?

 

6) Why didn't Jungho and CYS go together and leave on the island that he always wanted? And what about having children, cats and dogs as Teacher wanted for them? The show made these nice points but never came back to them.

 

 

 

 

overall I liked it, I would have said that it would have been the best kdrama of all-time. Now, I would still rate it very highly, but mb not as high :horror:

@mufcfangirl ah thanks for that, that does clear up a bit of misunderstandings I had. Btw I support Man U too haha

 

Oh I have 2 more questions:

 

 

1) Who was Junghos's interview for? I assumed it was for CYS's dad to allow him to be with her, but I'm not sure. And who made the questions? Cause Jungho scoffed at some of them lol. I would have liked CYS to have see the video.

 

2) Assuming Jungho and CYS live to be a happy couple, what about dad's approval? He never said yes to them and is still out of the loop in everything lol.

 

 

P.S this is kayoforum

yes we need a season 2, any unanswered plot points (inc the fake Bong Soo who the police committed the crimes) and question on supporting characters will be revealed in the next season!

 

:ahmagah:

 

As soon as the teasers came out for this drama, there were comparisons with City Hunter, and that was only helped cause PMY was the heroine in both lol. Both there really were more similarities than just being the same genre (rom-com action thriller) but also key differences - ep 19 of CH, Youngju dies, ep 19 of Healer and Moonho seems as though he will die but doesn't. Interestingly enough, if we compared each character from both dramas, Moonho would be Youngju.

 

Another key difference is

at the end of CH, people thought that Yoonsung died, but I thought was was really silly cause the bullet didn't even come close to his heart lol, and in Healer, we think Jungho actually dies but he doesn't. Honestly, I could compare both these dramas for awhile, both are great

Ji Chang Wook said goodbye to his KBS 2TV Mon-Tues drama 'Healer'!

 

Ji Chang Wook shared on his Instagram on the 9th, "Today..Final filming of 'Healer'!!! Until the end... #SeoJungHoo #ParkBongSoo #Healer #IWon'tForgetIt." 'Healer' Ji Chang Wook took a commemorative snapshot with his script, and also said goodbye to his character Seo Jung Hoo with the short and sweet farewell greeting, "Goodbye..!", on his Instagram on the 10th.

 

Who else will miss 'Healer'?

I want a Healer season 2, though most things of the story seem complete :(

 

Another question lol omg... What if Jungho told CYS that he was Healer early on, and didn't lie to her? I could see this having a number of advantages.

 

1) More cute moments with no misunderstandings from either party.

2) She can help him on his missions.

3) She wouldn't feel as though her feelings were manipulated as she did when she found out who he really was in ep 13.

 

Just imagine, in ep 6 how she talks to him about her new crush and says that it's a night courier, and instead of being like 15m away from her, he walks about right directly behind her and says to her, "a night courier?" and then she turns around lol.

 

Or the ep 9 telephone convo and how she longs to see Healer, and then he romantically tells her to turn her head and look behind her, and then boom, he's there.

pg 1077 of the Soompi Healer Thread, and it has pt 2 of SJN's fan questions

 

 

Q: Do you have any thoughts on working on Healer 2?

A: Not even in my dreams at this time. My energy is totally depleted. Even playing video games is hard for me right now. (sobs)
 
Q: Did JH take Teacher's ashes to the South Pacific?
A: If the ending had turned out to be after 1 year had passed as planned, of course he'd have made that trip by then. Along with his woman by his side. JH wouldn't be able to say much, but the woman by his side would be chattering nonstop as they scatter the ashes.
 
Q: When Det. Yoon asks MJ whether Healer is good for this world, MJ doesn't answer. I want to know your and MJ's thoughts on that.
A: I think that one should be answered by the viewers of Healer. Now that you've watched all 20 episodes, is JH good for this world or bad? My thoughts are your thoughts.
 
Q: There were so many scenes of JH and YS holding hands. Did you have any special reasons for that? From your personal experience?
A: Not to mention Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam or the contact between alien and earthlings in E.T.,
Yes, I like holding hands. The contact, the connection, the warmth that spreads through the hand... things like that.
MY always extends her two hands to hold the other person's hands.
I think I miss that touch more and more as the cyber world takes over reality these days.
Think about it. When the day comes when androids prevail (although it already feels like 20% of the active people today are androids), you wouldn't be able to tell just by listening to someone talking whether they are real humans or whether they really mean what they're saying about me.
My hope is that holding hands will help you there. ... I don't know what I'm saying.
 
Q: What heals you when you're having a hard time?
A: Family!
 
Q: When you first started writing Healer, I wonder if there was a scene that you had in mind from the beginning, a scene you wanted to write the most. If not, which scene left the biggest impression after you finished writing Healer?
A: Regarding the scene I wanted to write before I began writing? ...beating up president Hwang Jae Gook? LOL I wanted to write stuff like that every day, but I think I would have been reported for writing such a violent drama.
The rooftop kiss scene at the ending of episode 8?
The man breaking out of his shell and the woman accepting that man as he is without any regards to his status?
(Sounds better than it really was... I wasn't sure how to describe this feeling at first, and I was glad to somewhat portray that with the kiss scene in episode 8.)
The scene with the biggest impression after the writing was over... was what was also used as the ending of episode 19... the four of them ascending on an escalator. Regardless of which generation they belong, they were standing side by side to work on the same mission...!
 
Q: I want to know more about how this drama came about - any episodes or ideas that came up as you discussed with your assistants.
A: At first they are all fragments. Various images... episodes... we just talk nonstop. Then the assistants write them down and organize them. Then we talk more on those. It's like matching the pieces of a puzzle of the story.
Once the casting is complete, the characters are made to fit the actors, then we follow the imagery.
For example, things changed a lot after YJT accepted the role of MH. There was going to be a hint of a love triangle between MH, JH, and YS. But we decided that MH portrayed by YJT was enough without that. (in response to a similar question, she added) YJT was an uncle enough to love and care for them without that kind of feelings.
 
Q: Did you originally plan a sad ending? If so, at about which episode did you switch to a happy ending?
A: It was going to have a happy ending from the beginning. When JCW came to the studio for the first time, I told him the ending as I explained his character. We just kept that path. One death and a new beginning. Only... at the time, I was planning on taking my time with a proper ending. My first thought was for JH to fake a crash while on an aircraft. Sorry, JH.
 
Q: What happened to KMS and Sec Oh after they lost their leader, the Elder? 
A: KMS is admitted to a facility, and MY visits him once a week. MH might visit him once a month or so.
Sec Oh still works for the farmers. Eww... I hate it.
 
Q: Looks like JH quit being Healer and became a reporter, what is MJ doing? Would you have considered MJ and Det. Yoon's romance if there had been more episodes?
A: JH is not an ordinary reporter, but a freelancer specializing in digging up stuff, so he'll continue to work with MJ. I think he just won't make as much money as he used to... but MJ might think differently.
As for the romance with Det. Yoon... Good luck, Det. Yoon!
 
Q: Did you intend the symbolic meanings in the character names? For example, I thought MY stood for a warm glow of this age and democracy, MS for the facade of capitalism that devours the media, and MH for the protection of media that doesn't yield to the control of money. I also wonder about how JH and Dae Yong met, and how DY and the delivery guys came to work for JH. 
A: I did see the dictionary reference about the meanings of some of the characters. I was very surprised. (in response to a similar question later) One or two of such meanings were intended, but the rest were decided by the general impression of the characters. (You can find a translation of the part about character names at the bottom of this post)
 
DY is the only person that really works for JH, but she has a lot of friends, so those delivery guys end up helping her a lot. At first, I had planned on featuring those delivery guys a lot, and spent the time to include a scene of what they do for fun, but because of the restraints on action scenes (budget and time T_T), we couldn't incorporate them a lot, which is really sad.
 
Q: MS seemed to have lost everything after MY left. Why did he think he was Gil Han when he was drunk? Did he want to become GH because of his jealousy or his yearning for MY's affection? Or did his guilty feeling after that incident cause him to deny himself? If so, he could just as well claim to be Joon Seok, but why specifically GH? 
A: MS could never forget GH. The only person MY loved. Someone who hadn't committed any crimes. Jealousy, envy, and guilt. I think the only way to get rid of all those was for him to become GH himself.
 
Q: Could you give an advice for people aspiring to become writers?
A: First advice: don't become a writer! Second advice: Observe people a lot. There are many aspiring drama writers who only watch dramas a lot. I wish they'd be observing people... Listen to what they say and think about why they'd be acting that way... I think that's how you train yourself to become a writer. Reading books is the biggest help in figuring out what people think. Good books always contain what people think.
Think. We spend so much time without thinking. Writers especially have to think a lot.
...is the advice coming from a writer who doesn't think much.
 
Q: How did YS know about Healer even before she met him?
A: The reputation of Healer must have spread discretely somehow. That way he'd get clients who'd hire him.
There's this guy called Healer, who only deals with top class information and is extravagantly expensive...
Apparently, he's a special dealer of information in the world of politics and business... He doesn't just take any job just because of the money.
If rumors like these went around, what reporter wouldn't want to meet him?
 
Q: How come people just believe that the dead person is somebody with a different name (PBS), face, and body build when the goons that worked for the Elder and were arrested all know that it was JH that died?
A: This was an interesting part. Now there are two types of people who know JH. People who only know the picture on the wanted poster. You can take care of that by supposing that MJ deleted the video file and switched out the picture.
Those who had actually seen JH... are those that JH will have to avoid as he works as a freelancer. This is why JH works as a freelancer and not an ordinary reporter that works in the office. How would he get away when he comes across people who know his face... maybe he'll just say with a straight face, "I hear that a lot. That I look a lot like someone." ...that would be thrilling.
 
Q: The scene where MY says in teary eyes, "Where are you, Min Joo (democracy)? I'm here!" made me cry. Did you have a specific intention with this scene?
A: I really liked that part, too. I thought it might have been nice if she had been smiling there, too. 
Min Joo also somewhat symbolizes YS, so it can also mean that MY knows who YS is (although I know this is a flaw of mine to have so many things that only I am privy to)
Or it can also mean that Min Joo is right here, she didn't go anywhere, but we'd been ignoring it this whole time...
 
Q: East or west?
A: The instinct of going straight. No conflict! Always the first one!
(If YS had asked, west or east? JH would have answered, west!)
 
Q: What is the meaning of MJ always knitting?
A: MJ is supposed to be donating to a children's hospital. So she knits things to give to the children there or other orphanages. Also, when she's not working with JH, there's nothing else for her to do. Just spacing out in that space if she's not knitting. So knitting is her way of killing time.
 
Q: Towards the end of episode 20, YS is wearing glasses as she drives. I don't think it's for her eyesight. Is there a specific reason?
A: Ah... haha. It's Healer glasses. And that would have required CG work, but because we didn't have time, I didn't say anything about that in the script. Just had her wearing glasses.
 
Q: When Gi Young Jae went to the hospital where MY was admitted, KMS tried to explain his excuse. Had YJ listend to that, what would have happened? When KMS was taken to the Elder, that might have been the only choice he could make in order to save his beloved MY, right? If KMS had chosen to go against the Elder, could MY have survived?
A: KMS's excuses would have been a series of lies that even he himself couldn't really buy.
Had KMS gone against the Elder, MY might have died. Instead of living like a human vegetable for decades. I don't know which one she would have liked better.
Today we live in houses with good heating, with clothes, without starving... but do we become happier in proportion to the size of our houses?
 
Q: What kind of life would MY lead now?
A: She got a job as the Writer of Editorials at Someday. She visits MS once a week.
 
Q: Does JH continue to live in his place or does he set up his honeymoon nest somewhere else?
A: I vote he still lives in his place! But with better heating system! Honeymoon... lol... I'll call him and ask, did you guys go on a honeymoon trip?
 
Q: What kind of people is Sec Oh supposed to represent in today's society?
A: I think there are a lot of people like that around today. In the Prosecutor's Office... the National Assembly... People who don't have their own opinions and have become mere voting machines or a dog... people who don't feel any guilt. Sec Oh's character was made to symbolize such people. Which is why... he's so hard to get rid of.

 

The knitting answer is interesting, because didn't someone here say that she knitted in remembrance of someone who died, like a child of hers?

 

 

Anyway I love her answers, so funny haha. Although a lot of her interpretations of how the story unfolded or would unfold in the future (the future of the chracters after ep 20) weren't really hinted or mentioned at all  :omg:

This is a link to the full playlist of the Healer OST soundtrack, which I want to discuss.
 
I absolutely loved the soundtrack, from old faves of Eternal Love (oooooooooooh my loveeeeeeeeeee) to Ben's You, to the emotional and stirring instrumentals  :rlytearpls: 
 
Some played a lot more frequently than others, though there might have been a few I hadn't heard before, and this track caught my attention- Youngshin's Dream.
 
 
 
I don't remember this track playing in the drama and it's a shame because it's so beautiful. I read the post before from SJN answering questions from fans, and how time constraints and costs stopped her from doing some things she would have liked, such as Youngshin releasing her book and more on the interview that Jungho answered for her. If this song played during then, it would have been perfeccctttttt. Oh well 
 
One more thing, where are the instrumental tracks for the songs with lyrics?  :soul:

Kolorful Palette: Healed [Healer]

by Fanderay | February 14, 2015 | 41 Comments

healer18_001.jpghealer18_001a.jpg

Over the last year I’ve left so many dramas unfinished that it feels a bit surreal to enjoy one all the way through to its conclusion, and then feel that bittersweet emptiness when the credits finally roll. Perhaps Healer wasn’t perfect, but it was always consistent and hit me in all the right spots. It did a lot of things right, but what made it really stand out was that it did so little wrong. Birth secrets and tortured pasts without incessant moping or repetitive flashbacks? A compelling love story without a love triangle or circumstances absurdly tearing the leads apart? I’d like some more of that please.

 

I watched the last four episodes in one sitting (I prefer to binge when it comes to dramas) and I initially planned on drawing a scene from the finale, but I couldn’t resist the cuteness of this shot. It might be hard to tell, but it’s from Episode 18 when Young-shin joins Jung-hoo inside the Elder’s house after he’s drugged with incense. I love that they’ve just gotten through this incredibly stressful situation and are sitting on the floor in a strange place with possible medical attention required, but instead they’re all about snuggle-time. It’s not even dramatic we-just-started-dating-and-can’t-help-ourselves snuggling. It’s just them being comfortable with each other and naturally doing what seems appropriate to them in that moment. They may have attempted to be normal for a while, but they will always have their quirks, and that’s a big part of why they’re perfect for each other. Crazy situations come their way and it doesn’t even faze them.

I think a big part of why I love the whole no love triangle thing is that it speeds things up and we get to see more of the real relationship and how these two people actually work as a couple after they’re officially together. In most dramas it’s more about the journey to the beginning of the true relationship, but we don’t get to see much beyond that. Because Young-shin and Jung-hoo are rock solid from early on we get to see how they support each other and how they interact once they’re already comfortable with one another. This scene really showcased that, and I love the way they switch so naturally between more sentimental moments and playfulness. Their whole relationship progression is so much better than a dozen wrist grabs and some push/pull that goes on for ages.

Of course none of it would work if Park Min-young and Ji Chang-wook weren’t so great together. This is by far the most comfortable I’ve seen Park Min-young in an onscreen relationship, and I’m curious to see how she performs in her next role to see if she’s just maturing as an actress or if Healer was just the perfect part for her (or perhaps Ji Chang-wook was the perfect man?). I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to find out they’re dating IRL. For those who didn’t watch until the end of the credits, look how cute they are!

D790B7ECE20END150210HDTVH264720p-WITH16-

Ji Chang-wook was no slouch in his role either, and he managed to pull off an extremely multi-faceted character with ease. Bong-soo’s dorkiness and Healer’s derisive looks at deserving thugs never ceased to put a grin on my face, and the merging of Jung-hoo’s personas happened so seamlessly I never even noticed it happening. Such diversity within a character is another thing I’d love to see more of (assuming it’s pulled off equally well and doesn’t feel forced).

The actual drawing of this scene turned out to be a bit of a nightmare unfortunately. Usually drawing on the computer is full of perks and tools to make life oh-so-much easier. But then technical problems happen and I want to throw my computer out the window. I won’t go into the details since they won’t make much sense unless you use Corel Painter (and I’m pretty sure I’m the only person on the planet who uses it) but basically I spent 5 hours troubleshooting the problem, only to discover that I had somehow changed a layer setting that was irreversible. For the record, it’s pretty much the only thing in the entire piece of software that’s irreversible, and it was only possible because I was using digital watercolor this week. The end result was that I could no longer use digital watercolor and had to finish with other media (I added a paper texture to make it all combine a little better, and I think it worked?).

I’m pretty sure the whole thing happened because I have a sticky key somewhere that contributed to a magical hotkey combination I don’t know about (but pretty much every action has hotkeys in these programs, no matter how ridiculous). I noticed later that the software was acting a bit possessed and changing tools without me pressing anything, so hopefully this doesn’t happen again. It shouldn’t since this could have been avoided if I had just been using iterative saves like an intelligent person instead of just saving over the same file constantly, but I haven’t needed to use a previous save in well over a year and it drives me a bit bonkers having 20 versions of the same file, so I got lazy. Sometimes I swear that technology is sentient and just waits for us to drop our guard. I’d better backup all my photos and important documents before catastrophic hard drive failure strikes!

Thankfully I always write my posts after I finish the drawing, and talking about Healer is an excellent way to feel better. I’m even starting to feel positive about all the useful things I learned while troubleshooting! I’m not feeling quite so positive about the previews for Blood but I suppose not every drama can be squee-worthy. Thanks for the ride Healer! I think I needed you.

Dramabeans Podcast #27: The Healer edition

by javabeans | February 14, 2015 | 17 Comments

podcast_healer6.jpg

Hello everybody! It’s been a fun, exhilarating ride with this drama, and now that it’s over girlfriday and I felt it was appropriate to send off Healer with a toast and lots of (blubbering, incoherent) love.

We know we’ve all said tons about this show already and maybe non-Healer fans are tired of hearing about it (which is why we separated this podcast out into its own thing, so as to be easily skippable) — but when the heart speaks, we’ve learned it’s best to let it get it all out. One of the perks of evolving past dinosaur-brain-hood! So grab a glass and join us, why don’t you?

Man Crush Monday: Ji Chang Wook’s Seo Jung Hoo in “Healer† 

 

MCM_Seo-Jung-Hoo_Feature.png

 

Seo Jung Hoo. Park Bong Soo. Healer. Whichever name he decides to use, Ji Chang Wook‘s character in “Healer†has completely captured my heart.Completely. I used to laugh at how cute Soompiers were by always telling me my man crush of the week is “more than just a Monday crush. He’s myeveryday crush!†But now, I know. Now, I understand. And I just want to say that I hear you, Soompiers!

It might be strange that after more than a decade of dramas, my most perfect man turns out to be such a recent one – as in three weeks ago recent – but if you knew Seo Jung Hoo, then you’d understand. Wouldn’t you? Of course, I didn’t say that he’s perfect because he’s truly without flaws. After all, where’s the fun in that? I say that because his flaws are part of what makes him beautiful and head over heels crush worthy.

There is so much I can say in praise for “Healer†and Seo Jung Hoo, but I’ll settle for simply stating that “Healer†has dramatically raised the bar for all future dramas and I fully expect to wait another decade or so before seeing one that will come as close to my definition of perfection as this drama. But instead of simply taking my word for it, we should let Seo Jung Hoo speak for himself. If you haven’t fallen for his charms, then you will after this! (Spoilers ahead.)

1. He’s hilarious.

MCM_Seo%20Jung%20Hoo_Hilarious_zpshi4lh4

Unintentionally so, which is the best type of hilarious to be. I guess we can’t really blame him since he’s never been a people person… until Chae Young Shin, that is. Running away in sheer terror from a hoard of women who only wants to dress him up for an undercover mission, attempting to peel potatoes with an alien object that confuses him (It’s called a peeler, Jung Hoo! And it’s a wonderful invention!), and peeling the outer layers of an onion like he’s actually carving into an apple are just some of his funny antics. Oh, let’s not forget that prankster Young Shin tricks him into touching his eyes with fingers full of onion juice. LOL.

His facial expressions during those precious moments can make anyone fall over laughing, but none are as knee slapping as his shocked and startled faces. The Healer fans call it his “WTF face.†Here’s just one example of many:

tumblr_nhq9rpgimU1ql66nmo1_500_zpsqkt779

2. Seo Jung Hoo is simplistic.

MCM_Seo%20Jung%20Hoo_Simplistic_zpsjqlkh

All he wants is a deserted island! How much more simple can he get? Okay, okay. That’s actually pretty complicated, but Seo Jung Hoo had already acquired 64% of the funds he needed to buy his own island. Pretty ambitious and hardworking, eh? He doesn’t really enjoy his job as a night courier; it just pays well and helps him build his ultimate goal of kicking back and relaxing all by his lonesome, surrounded by sand and waves.

When he meets Chae Young Shin though, Seo Jung Hoo’s dream becomes even more simple – to live a normal life. He wants to be like other everyday people. Settle down. Get married. Have children. Hold a normal job. Spend his days with the love of his life. Be happy. This time, truly, how much more simple can he get? He’s not picky at all about the material items and he only needs Young Shin by his side. That’s all he needs to feel fully and completely content.

A nice bonus would be Jo Min Ja, lovingly referred to as “ahjumma,†and Kim Moon Ho‘s presence and friendship. Together, the four creates a perfect team – their own little Healer family.

3. He’s the perfect blend of Seo Jung Hoo, Park Bong Soo, and Healer.

Although he’s stuttering Park Bong Soo by day and fierce Healer by night, Seo Jung Hoo isn’t always putting on an act. He possesses qualities from all three of his identities, molding him into one gorgeous male. Gorgeous inside and out, that is. He has the vulnerabilities and loneliness of Seo Jung Hoo, the confidence and intelligence of Healer, and the awkward innocence of Park Bong Soo. There is absolutely no way to pinpoint which traits are his best or which part of him is my most favorite because all of his qualities mesh together so well. He wouldn’t be who he is if any aspect of him changes and I can say with 100% certainty that I’m glad he was consistent and developed from beginning to end.

P.S. Seo Jung Hoo didn’t even need to consider anger management classes like so many other male leads! He’s not nasty, foul-tempered, or short fused just because he could be. Ever. Wow, daebak (awesome)!

4. Seo Jung Hoo doesn’t suffer the Noble Idiocy Disease.

But then, neither does Chae Young Shin! Which makes the two of them a perfect, perfect match.

There has been misunderstandings and consideration for each others’ well being. There has been doubt and the uncertainty on whether to trust or distrust each other. There has been a lingering fear that they’ll only bring each other harm. But never, never, never did Seo Jung Hoo and Chae Young Shin allow that to deter their relationship in any way. Instead, they take time apart from each other to carefully consider the situation then they talk to each other about it. Open, honest, emotionally raw conversations.

Hey, who knew such a thing existed in Dramaland! And who knew problems could actually get solved this way! Leave it to two young people entering their first relationship to show the world how it’s done! It’s no wonder I totally love this OTP.

5. Seo Jung Hoo has smooth moves.

Scaling the walls. Jumping from rooftop to rooftop. Crashing through windows in the blink of an eye. Taking on a dozen men all by himself. Surprise visiting his girlfriend by using her window as an entryway. Fighting through the effects of sedatives like a real champion. Seo Jung Hoo totally sizzles whenever he leaps into action, especially since he’s so polite about it at the same time. I couldn’t help but chuckle when he apologized to the mother and child he startled when he cut across their living room for a shorter route to his destination or when he thanks President Hwang after giving him a much deserved beating and breaking into his safe for an external hard drive.

I’ve never been a big fan of baseball caps and all black ensembles, but on Seo Jung Hoo, it’s undeniably swoon worthy and even Park Bong Soo’s adorably clean and neat outfits are no comparison.

Bonus

Intense stares. Boyish grins. Charm and charisma. Odd terms of endearment.

High up places. First snowfall. Small hands. White bedding. Hair.

The sound of camera shutters. Large hands. Smiling eyes. Big embraces.
