as expected, no one is yet to recommend Goodbye, Mr. Black because of how unpopular it is (it was MBC's airing drama in the same time slot competition with KBS' Descendants of the Sun at the time). even i didn't know this drama existed until i carefully look through Lee Jin Wook's drama page after finishing Sweet Home and Voice 2&3 because i wanted more from him.
Goodbye, Mr. Black is literally the closest recommendation anyone can give to Healer, because of three things:
1. Mr. Black who's on a revenge mission and uses that code name as his identity, just like Healer.
2. the FL is a novice but fearless reporter from a small media company who's trying to expose the evil deeds of a powerful organization.
3. the plot line itself.
i literally became trash of Lee Jin Wook after watching Voice 2&3. Be very careful with him ladies, he's so fckin dangerous and will steal your heart like no other, LOL.

If you loved Park Hae Jin 's psychopathic character in this, definitely watch Voice season 2 and 3 for its spectacular performance by Lee Jin Wook. Voice 2 and 3 did an amazing job at fleshing out character like this that progressively worsen because of evil, manipulative forces around them. Enjoy!
well, so many people have given out recommendations and i am surprised that no one is yet to recommend Voice season 2 and 3 when the male lead character there is so similar to the one in Flower of Evil. in fact Voice series are OCN dramas so they are meant to be a lot darker and with less emphasis on romance which could be a plus for a genre like this. there is a good reason why the Voice series keep getting season's extension, you gotta watch it to know. enjoy!
the ML character in Black is seriously giving me Vincenzo vibe, kekeke. he's cold-blooded and ruthless (best at his job), so he doesn't know yet that he's so whipped for her already but we can all see through him LMAO. also the FL character is charming and holds her ground so well next to a more experienced actor than her. Black is better written i believe, because the comedy are more sparse but very well thought out and strategically positioned, rather than in Vincenzo which feels kinda lame and thrown mindlessly into the story to the point of being ridiculous at times.
Dear My Friends is also a heart-warming drama about finding joy in life during old age. I believe youngsters would also find this drama relatable because we also have elderly in our life, and we ourselves will grow into old age. Just amazing dramas all-around.
honestly, the kind of batsh*t craziness of the lead villain in this drama reminds me of Nam Goong Min's character in Remember: War of the Son, LOL. they are the overzealous, totally over-the-top type. they'll probably go down in a similar way too, LMAO.
this drama has like 1/10th the viewership count to that of Goblin's, but something i consider far superior in story.
honestly, i think people who liked Goblin so much should watch this. truly an amazing drama. no fantasy though, and heavy palace politics that overrides romance. but i feel like this is THE drama that earnestly rewrites the rule for a good, heart-wrenching bromance for me, cry me a fckin river.
truly, could not recommend enough.
rating: 10/10.

i am surprised no one recommended Vampire Detective yet since the feels are so similar compared to other recommended dramas here. Yoon San and the vampire lady has the same energy as The K2 and his lady boss. in fact whenever Lee Joon fights off the bad guys, his action skills really reminds me of Ji Chang Wook. Lee Joon is such a hugely underrated action star!
both dramas are like the perfect copycat of each other, with only the gender-reversed LOL. Lawless Lawyer is a little more complex with less plot holes and more badass male lead who kicks ass, yasss!
Ma Yi Deum is like the female version of Chief Kim, LOL. there are some funny scenes that kinda reminds you of how similar they are, especially in terms of their clumsiness and unbothered attitude about anything else other than to save their ass, LMAO.
i watched Hyena first before watching Suits and i immediately had the feel that both dramas give away similar vibes. they are both sophisticated and has a lot of sass, with extremely charismatic lead characters who can also be a bit gangster-ish.
Lee Joon Gi at his finest! It's really an amazing action drama, you don't want to miss this and the characters are just so well written.
