Past meets future
So I downloaded this free from xbox live Gold so my kids could play (and so I could lol) the game includes 2 different versions of sonic, a classic version who's seemingly mute and a modern one who likes to talk.

Mixing the generations was a fun idea and having different versions of the levels for each sonic is a nice touch, switching between the two before entering the levels.

May not have been worth the money at the time, but is definitely worth the time now.

Hilarious and very British
If you loved Shaun of the dead, you will love this movie too! Sergeant Angel is the best performing police officer in London, and he is sent to the quiet village of Stanford. While everything is quiet and people seem nice, something seems odd and Angel is about to uncover the mystery.

I loved the British humor in this movie, and all the action! Also, it is amazing to see some legendary actors appear as well (the actors that play The Hound from Game of Thrones and Argus Filch from Harry Potter).

Definitely a good choice to spend some time in a good atmosphere! Highly recommended.

Not What I Expected
I admit that I went into this drama expecting it to be a light, happy romp through Joseon-era Korea, with a nice romance and a fair bit of drama. Something to lift my spirits after watching a downer series the week before. This is not what I got.

Secret Healer is definitely more of a drama than a romance. Yes, the romance is there and it is important to the plot. Hell, it's even developed reasonably well. However, it is not the main focus of the story. Which, after a while, I appreciated because I didn't need the romance to keep me invested, the plot did that well enough.


The true focus of the plot is Yoon-hee, the princess, and the trials she has to overcome to be free of her curse. Without getting too spoiler-y, the villain, Hong-joo, does literally everything she can to make Yoon-hee fail. And Hong-joo is a legitimately engaging and terrifying villain; she has power, dozens of skilled swords-women under her command and control, and is ruthless to the point of cold-blooded murder. The dynamic between these two really carries the better part of the plot.


Yoon-hee's love interest, Jun, also has an interesting story-arc that is, thankfully, all his own. He comes into the story with his own baggage involving his relationships with his mother and half-brother that he needs to overcome. It is also really nice to see a couple that complements each other equally. They support each other and receive support in turn. In a sea of douchbags with money winning over nice, supportive guys, he is a breath of fresh air.


The other characters that pepper this drama provide just the right amount of flavor. They are, for the most part, well written and well realized by their actors. My personal favorite character was Yo-gwang, Yoon-hee's "bodyguard."


I would recommend this series to anyone desiring a well-written, well-acted story that has more going for it than a simple love story.
