She Healed Him and He Made Her Dreams Come True

When I say this is a absolutely beautiful story…I mean it heart to heart. Some ppl felt a way about the FML and the ML meeting while she was a teen and he an young adult but I believe this drama executed this plot in the most perfect way possible. This drama gave puppy crush, first love, love discovery and finally 1 true love and wrapped it in the most heart pumping bow. First off, the chemistry was phenomenal! Both the FML and ML literally oozed connection. I previously did not find the actor that plays the ML attractive from other dramas he’s in but THIS drama changed my whole mind, he’s freaking Smexy af!!The leads were the perfect match for this drama, she gives innocent but assertive and charming and he gave provider mature manly man with a cup of subtle hot nerdy lover boy.

Loved the story line. I loved how they met when she was very young. There was connection but it was all innocent(as it should be). I liked that they didn’t make it weird. While they met while she was 14, her crush for him didn’t start until her senior year of highschool and their love story didn’t begin until her freshman year of college. It was perfect.


I Loved how much love and appreciation he poured into her as soon as he realized his feelings. It was literally end game from there on. He literally began building his life around her if that makes sense.

At times I was nervous about the FMLs feelings especially in the beginning because it was borderline obsessive but I had to put myself in the shoes of a girl who falls in love with a older guy with no romantic experience. I would probably be the same way. The need for reassurance that he wouldn’t forget me and go off with some other woman in his age group once he started his life after college as an adult. Which is why she wanted him to promise her to stay single which I thought was sooo cute, I yipped. To put it frankly, she
had to secure her man and her future spot in his life ?As she should.

I loved how he went from being this “brotherly” figure in her life to being her lover. The emotions felt so real and so beautiful. It was almost as if I was the FML being persued. I felt all giggly and nervous.
And I especially liked that the FML allowed him to “chase” her even though her feelings were prevalent and alive before his. I think that was specifically important. There was a line the ML said, where he basically told her that she deserved to be wooed and persued like every other girl regardless of if she had feelings for him already. That was such a cute
and secure move. The ML has made my unrealistic standards for men even worse. I WANT MY OWN JIA XU!!!(my heart)


I have so many favorite parts but the 2 I can think of now is when he got jealous of the classmate who had feelings for her and kept asking if he was the guy she liked? and the part when he said “I love you” for the first time and it got steamy…iykyk.

I give the side characters an applause. Love the brother. His reaction to finding out his best friend and sister were dating was so realistic lol. Her parents just wanted to protect their princess and while he tragically lost his family, she became his true family(my eyes are tearing). The obsessive “debtor” woman was annoying but her story was even understandable AND she wasn’t much of a hassle at all after ML drew a line with her and told her to F off and leave his woman alone basically.

All in all, this is now one of my absolute favorite dramas. It was the perfect mixture of emotional and sweet. A 10/10. I am grateful to have experienced it.

Never Experienced a drama like this before

Wow k dramas really can bring me to tears like no other. This drama has done something I have not personally experienced from any other. Let’s get into it.

First off, love the character dynamic of the Main Leads(MLs)
Headstrong business woman with a traumatic past, and a eerie present with a hidden vulnerability( She desires a stable, and reliable protector/ “salvation” is what she calls ML).

And a Carefree business man who is also a very powerful demon who sees humans as insignificant soul banks.Until he meets FML of course ;)

Both putting on a front of commitment-phobia by the way.(in the beginning)

~ This is a long review~ proceed if you like to read

[PSA]I’m only going to speak on what I liked because what I disliked is very trivial now that I’ve finished the series.

*The tattoo and power transfer was unexpected but it made the story more interesting

*I liked that the relationship build up wasn’t rushed or slow and it didn’t overshadow the storyline, it actually gave it some dimension, kind of like a soft pillow after being punched in the gut:)

*ML pursues first, despite FML being attracted first. He fell harder and He fell in love pretty quick for a demon with commitment issues. It was cute.


*ML was very willing to protect the FML and help her with all the BS going on with her “family” despite pretending to only care because of the tattoo

Now for the parts that really surprised me;)

In the typical drama, after the MLs becomes an official couple, there usually like 2 intimate scenes and then a random breakup and then something crazy happens, they get back together, kiss and the end.

We rarely get to see a drama where the MLs becomes a actual couple and we as the viewers get to witness the full intimacy of their love.

This drama does that!!! Theres cuddles, 1000s of hugs and kisses(exaggerations but close enough). There’s super cute couple moments and funny moments and cute nicknames. It’s was really like watching a actual couple. Two supermodels as a couple ?. And when I say kiss I mean all kinds, pecks, full on making out, slow kisses ,hard but tender kisses even passionate ones with actual emotion and not stiff at ?OMG I was f”*cking dazed !!! And then the pillow talk and sweet nothings!! Ahhhhhh! And let’s not talk about the fact that the ML lead a horizontal tango right after the first kiss. He was HOOKED! So romantic. When I say watching this felt like peeping into an actual loving married couples life sometimes…I’m sweating, and manifesting ??Please send me a Gu-won.

The last thing this drama did that I have not seen before is…
It didn’t trying to completely change Gu-won’s baddie character?. Let me explain

Gu won is a demon, hear that? DEMON! the devil to be precise. He makes his deals, takes souls and he has done it well for 200 years. And it’s not at all moral. At all. He’s not a saint and doesn’t pretend to be one outside of protecting his wife(Do-hee). He views humans as nothing more than ticking clocks. He can be very ruthless and almost villain like at times. and this stays his stance throughout the entire series. I REALLY liked that because I’ve noticed a theme in dramas where if one of the Main characters isn’t a favorable
or “good person” they do a complete 180 and rebirth them by the end of the series, completely overhauling their original description. We don’t always have to have saint like MLs, he’s a demon for the love of..nvm… The FML did not run away crying because she saw the MLs ruthless behavior she understood what he was even before they got married; it shook her a bit when she saw those red eyes and him air chocking a woman to death but in the end she was willing to stand by her man for evil or for worse haha, he was actually the coward there. I think she understood that he was crazy af and the LITERAL DEVIL to the world but he was her husband and a cuddly bear protecter WHO WOULD SACRIFICE IT ALL FOR HER, ya know. that some deep loyalty fr. So sweet Tehe. Like I’ve literally never watched a drama where the FML just let the ML do his thing without crying and running away. Very different.

Now don’t misconstrue my point. Gu won had major character development but it didn’t turn him from a demon to a rebirthed human or angel. He was still very much a demon at the end, he still reaped souls and made deals, he just became a more mature demon with a tiny bit more of a moral compass and a sense of purpose.

Lastly for anyone who cares, the side character weren’t a bore. I was very much entertained with the antics. The villains even had dimension.

This drama also made 16 episodes feel like 30 but in a pleasant way. Some ppl are complaining it was drawn out but we literally got a full on 10 different Acts in a 16 episode series. That’s talent. No part was dull and it all connected. anyways

Highly recommend 10/10

Lesson of the Day, be a man and tell her you love her sheeesh!

This Drama was so good but so frustrating at the same time. Let me elaborate. I’ll start with what was so frustrating and what I disliked first. I don’t know if I’m just a cold hearted person but I feel like the length of time that she(Bo Ra) spent crying and embarrassing herself over her ex was way too lengthy. I mean it’s not like they ended because he broke up with her out of nowhere which would have made her spiral more understandable. No, he literally CHEATED on her with his “cousin” or whatever. If I was the FL I would have been more disgusted and mad than sad and pathetic. The scene of her on stage was the most cringe and embarrassing. Over a cheater? I could never. And the fact that she was a “love coach” but she couldn’t tell he was no longer In love with her and seeing someone else is bazaar but I guess it’s part of the lesson here. I did not feel the chemistry from any of the side couples besides Jin Ho and Bo Mi, they were so cute. I did not like how the ML (Soo Hyuk) took so long the develop character wise. So you’re gonna tell me his ex broke it off because he couldn’t express his emotions and needs as a man should and he was just like “oh well that’s just how I am I guess”. It took him till the end of the drama to actually say “I like you” like
wtf. I feel like they(the writers) could have portrayed it as though he was becoming more open about his feelings as the drama progressed, like expressing himself verbally little by little. I did not like that Bo Ra didn’t make it clear to her ex that she didn’t want him as soon as he tried to come back, I would have told him off when he showed up to the radio show, but she decided to get into his car AND befriend him after all that he’s done like why!!! That chapter is closed tell that bum
to get a life. It just caused unnecessary
misunderstandings. I would have like to see more intimacy between the MLs throughout the drama but that was restricted by the fact that both of them were behaving immaturely about their feelings. There was a lot of flirting and a kiss so I guess I’ll sit and be satisfied. Now for what I liked. I felt the chemistry between the main leads perfectly. Despite the fact that they were circled jerking. I still felt the love between them even though word were not said. They genuinely had a connection which is why it was so frustrating to see them pulling back. I loved that they helped eachother heal from their pasts. I liked that there was so much screen time with them and so much going on. I liked Bo mi and Jim Ho’s relationship, they seemed way more mature when it’s came to their relationship than the older couples. I loved the entire plot, love coach finding love is a plot I have yet to see as much. And I think the MLs were very attractive especially the Soo Hyuk and I’m not one to like older men in dramas usually( besides the ML in Goblin) but honestly he is sexy! And the FL is so gorgeous. She has such a Doe look to her. We needed some steamy scenes….but anyways I give this drama a 9.5/10 highly recommend.

Can Romance and Business Go Hand and Hand? I’m not too sure

~Hmm…. Where do I start….The ML carried this drama on his gorgeous lips from beginning to end. In the beginning the FL comes off as very manipulative to me. The fact that she would let a lie run on for so long just so she could feel validated was honestly weird. As the plot progressed and the ML was introduced I decided to put my initial feelings to the side because the ML is honestly just so fine and his character was interesting. I liked that he fell in love with the FL at first sight even with not knowing who she was. Which brings me back to the FL’s behavior and how she was somewhat condescending towards the ML when she believed he was just a regular guy but as soon as she had the suspicion that he wasn’t just a “regular guy” she completely switched up and all of a sudden she “loves him”huh? I had no issue with her declaration of love because it was needed for the story progression but it was just…weird again. I don’t say this to make it seem like this drama was so terrible because it wasn’t terrible at all, these are just some flaws that made me feel irked at times. Let’s continue

~What I hated the most was how the whole drama was centered around the FL and her spontaneous dream to start a business and everything else was put to the back. The Secondary characters were muted and the Romance between the MLs was always surrounded by the business storyline which made most of the drama boring af. I’ve literally skipped whole episodes because 90% of it was about all the business talk that I didn’t care about. Also the ML had to basically put his already established company on the back burner to help the female lead at every turn because there was always issues going on with her business which resulted in some bad outcomes and put him in tough situations. The ML was putting in way more effort than the FL when it came to their relationship. At one point the FL was even starting to come off as selfish and self obsessed when it came to her personal business.

~Anyways, on to the good parts. Even though the professional part overshadowed the drama, the romance was luckily still incorporated and when it was it gave me butterflies honestly. More so the ML, he was honestly the perfect boyfriend and he played his role well. I like how in love he was with the FL and all the little things he came up with to get her and I liked how the FL gave good response to his feelings when it mattered. The FL was not all bad at all, Especially at the end.

~Secondary Characters: they weren’t bad but I also didn’t care much for them, the ML best friends/assistant were probably my favorite out of all the secondary characters. The Secondary couple was boring to me. The ending: I loved that in the end they both decided to give up everything for each other and get married. Happy endings are my bread and butter. Marriage endings is my cherry on top. All in all, I gave this drama a 8.0 because the ML was just perfect and the ending made me content. I recommend as a “I want to pass some time” kind of watch. The storyline is actually decent and like I said the romance hit when it was present on the screen. I would have liked to see a healthier balance between the serious/ business parts and the romance all through out the drama though. This had great potential and is worth a watch even if only to support the ML.

Therapy For You

The biggest lesson that ALL drama FemaleLeads need to learn is how to say “He’s mine, back tf off Looney Haus” and we’ll all be happy and clap in unison….

????

The plot of this j drama had me hooked which happens often with j-dramas for me. The plot is always sickening(good) but the execution is uhhh…..
The first episode had me so giddy, a drama where the ML is SUPER expressive, goofy and head over hills while NOT giving me the ick? Rare gem.
The ML carried. I loved his facial expressions and his little secret crush/love sickness. I was giggling the whole first couple of episodes. Absolutely cute. Somehow he gave cute but masculine in the same sentence.
On being introduced to the FML i actually liked that she was presenting as this meek and obsessively selfless character….IN THE BEGINNING, because it’s gave off a kind innocents that is my personal favorite type of FML trope. I know the majority of other romance drama watchers prefer the “strong independent woman” trope which is fine but my preference differ;~what can I say, I love a good damsel in distress~ so I can say I thought I was going to enjoy the FMLs character and development of said character . I thought wrong… let’s get into the nitty gritty

I loved that the plot is childhood sweethearts reunited for a second chance at love. Sooo
cute. The fact that the ML(and presumably
the FML) was secretly in love since they were
very young is so heart bursting

I hate that they didn’t lean into that
background more. Like we really didn’t get a
solid flashback of the FMLs point of view
while the ML was going out of his mind
thinking she was in love with their best
friend(2ML). A clip of her writing in her diary
about him or crying because he had a girlfriend, SOMETHING.

While the ML was very loveable, he was also very annoying and pathetic. What man leaves the woman he loves for 10 years, no contact, over a petty competition between him and 2ML that was mostly in his own head? Allowed the FML to go off and date others and be manipulated and used while he was striving to be the “better man”

I will say, it was very romantic that he became a successful architect and business owner to win her heart and fulfill her dreams but he could of did all that while atleast keeping in contact with her.

The fact that the ML was not man enough to tell his best friend(2ML) that he was in love with FML and to back off and atleast persue FML despite assuming she liked 2ML while
they were still young is pathetic. Man up!!! Coward.

The FML honestly needed a therapist.
The amount of people pleaser running
through her DNA needs to be studied.
The saddest FML to exist.
I won’t pick her completely apart because she
was not all bad and I actually liked her
character outside of the people pleasing
obsessiveness.
The only self serving thing she’s done
throughout the whole drama was agree to
marry ML because you could tell she was
enjoying the whole “fake marriage” situation.

She enjoyed being a kept woman/stay at home wife and finally something belonging to her and her alone. it was
probably the first time she felt contentment
and true joy since splitting with her
childhood friends. Everything else was in
shambles.
The fact that she allowed that butter face
crying weirdo to manipulate her emotions,
made me so mad. Like girl STAND UP. The Ex
(2FML)was so outta. Still obsessed with a guy
you dated in highschool for 10 seconds who
didn’t even like you is wild behavior. And then
showing up at his home where his wife is to
give a sob story in hopes that she would leave
him is sick and twisted. The FML should have
told her to keep that tear covered mug away
from her and her husband and to seek help.
But she didn’t, she allowed a 10 second ex
girlfriend to breakup her happy situation with
ML.
In conclusion, this drama deserved alot more.
If they didn’t make the FMLs character so
annoying it would have needed more
episode’s because the plot is honestly so cute
and wholesome. Imagine a universe where the FML allowed the ML to kiss her after he confessed. We would have atleast made it to the Christmas Eve glamping trip. We needed to see the FMLs
character development. I wanted a episode where she finally learned to say “no and f you” for once. For all we know she’s still a push over who allows outsiders who don’t matter to manipulate her emotions
and life. Also needed more intimacy and physical love between the Mainleads. There was only 1 kiss and it was barely a kiss. I want to see tongue and some “cheek”grabs but hey… that’s just me. ?I give this drama
a 8.5/10. It would have been a 7.5 if not for the ML and his cuteness.

I Can’t Help But Compare

As someone who has watched the Chinese adaptation(Use for my Talent) first, it took me a very VERY long time to watch this Korean adaptation despite the fact that I prefer Korean romseries over Chinese, because of the simple fact of how moving ‘Use for my Talent’ is, a masterpiece imo. Now that I’ve built the courage to start this series I now know that I was right to put it off for so long. They do not compare as far as quality. Use for my Talent had all the ingredients and I feel like clean with passion for now just has the toppings. First off, the 2ndML syndrome is real and prevalent when it comes to this adaptation unlike the Chinese version. I personally feel like the ML and 2ndML should have been swapped. The way I am just annoyed all around with this ML is something I rarely experience, he is a true thorn in the side. Not even the try hard “ cutesy” scenes saved his character imo. 2nd, The chemistry between the ML and FL is lacking. If I were to be put in the FL’s shoes the show would have ended as soon as the 2ML confessed, the next episode would of been a marriage finale honestly lol. 3rd, for some odd reason it seems like the FL in this adaptation is waaay more disgusting and unclean as compared to the FL in Use for my talent, which wasn’t a huge deal because she improved as the episodes progressed but it was just a turn off in the first few episodes. 4th, I personally feel like the relationship between the ML and FL gives forced vibes just to move the story along. The fact that she just all of a sudden started liking him off of nothing is weird, she had no reason to have feelings for him whatsoever, he did nothing special besides randomly kiss her and catch her when she fell off the letter, he was very rude to her in most of their encounters. There was little to no build up. In closing, If you have watched the Chinese adaptation first, I would say be prepared and don’t go in expecting much from this one in comparison, If you are going into this adaptation first, it is a good drama to pass time. It’s lighthearted with a little comedy and a spoon of ridiculous. As a stand alone drama I give it a 7.5/10 kinda recommend. If compared to Use for my Talent I give it a 5/10 heck no I don’t recommend but watch at your own risk if you wanna.
