Healer (2014)

I tried and failed to like this lol.

This was very mid for me I’m not gonna lie. I have never been one for action-heavy plots but I was hoping the one in this drama would be interesting enough to keep my attention since it was so highly rated by pretty much anyone I spoke to. Overall, while I did enjoy the dynamic between our main leads, I cared very little about the central action plot, and once it took over the whole storyline, I pretty much checked out of the drama and watched the rest at 2x speed. I can see why this could be someone’s favorite, and I can’t find any glaring issues with this drama besides my own personal lack of interest and a very weirdly rushed ending. Happy watching if this is your thing!

Look Who's Stalking!

This is a totally original Kdrama that doesn't follow the usual formula (except for the knowing each other as kids bit)!
The main theme music seems a bit of a mismatch for the action and is calm & easygoing while the cool action scenes are playing out but somehow it works and is instantly recognisable as the Healer tune.
Ji Chang-wook & Park Min-young as the leads look so young! They get my vote for the most adorable, cutest couple ever to grace the small screen. When I watch them I think...ahhh that's what love is really like! I have to say I love Ms Jo (AKA Kim Mi-kyung) this has to be my favourite character I have ever seen her play (and she's played a lot)! Every character is beautifully acted and incorporated fully into the storyline, This is the secret to every successful drama. There is a sort of docu-edgy cool feel to the drama. It really is impeccably written. There are some really memorable scenes and great dialogue which demonstrate how creative the team were behind this. The last 2 episodes veer off into another direction, but it does not distract from the overall arc.

i just finished this drama after binging it over two days and i honestly don’t know what to do with myself! all of this afternoon, i’ve been trying to find my next drama (i’ve even started three and dropped them one episode in!) because simply NOTHING lives up to healer! the storyline really draws you in (the only problem is that i found it difficult to understand how everyone was related to each other but eventually picked it up) and i became so emotionally invested in it after such a short period of time. it made me cry, laugh, gasp and the acting is absolute perfection! the one reason why i wouldn’t rewatch it is because it just wouldn’t be the same as the excitement and suspense that i felt whilst the story unfolded cannot be replicated! i LIVE for the main couple’s romance and honestly wouldn’t change a thing about this drama :) if you’re debating whether or not to watch it, don’t even try and start it right now!!

Healer é um dorama muito bom sendo sincera eu amei , a história é boa porém tem algumas contradições ( não irei dar spoiler pq não quero tirar a graça do dorama ) como quando o drama está nos seus últimos episódios teve algumas coisinhas que ficaram abertas neh mas não é algo que fica totalmente sem explicação até da para entender se prestar atenção MAS dá aquela impressão de tipo "vamos acelerar essa história pq o dorama tá acabando " teve algumas partes ao longo do drama que eles ficaram enchendo muita linguiça sabe principalmente lá nos episódios 15 ou 16 por aí eu achei que teve muitaaaa enrolação e que venhamos e convenhamos não era necessário , aí eu não gostei muito desse enrolação sendo honesta aqui kkk mas enfim o dorama é muito bom a trama do longa tbm é boa e vale a pena assistir e eu recomendo ❤️

SUPEREROI (Mr. Rain)

Un po' Batman, un po' uomo ragno, un po' superman: questo è Healer.
Lasciando da parte diversi fattori incongruenti - tipo antagonisti che non vedono ad un palmo dal loro naso o che non sentono porte che sbattono - trama veramente veramente bella, con scene decisamente coinvolgenti che resteranno nel cuore! Sono colpita sempre dalla recitazione dei coreani ma qui sono diversi ad essere superiori.
Unica nota non sempre all'altezza, secondo me, la musica: "Eternal love" da 10 e lode, tanto che me la sto sognando anche di notte, ma il resto della musica è un po' calante.
Ah! E gli ultimi due minuti....facciamo finta che non esistano? Fettoloso ed inutile.
E per carità, il trucco...! Verso la dodicesima puntata si sono accaniti sul povero ML....una maschera! Forse per accentuarne la drammaticità ma...no, no, no. Per fortuna poi sono rientrati nei ranghi...

Complete entertainer

Healer was one of the first K dramas I watched. This was a wholesome experience. I mean ticks almost all checklists for entertainment . Even after watching so many Kdramas it stands out and I guess that’s what make it popular. It caters to all sort of people. You have a macho hero who also can be a cutie in another version ,sometimes dumb FL who has a character and sizzling chemistry between them. It also unravels a mystery with amazing action sequences.
The ending initially felt a bit underwhelming, but now I find it ok after diving deep into K drama world.😂
A must watch for beginners.👌

Easily my favorite Ji Chang-Wook series (although I loved his angst (and growth) in Empress Ki and he had some fantastic scenes in Lovestruck In The City). I also *really* loved Park Min Young in this role. I had only seen her in ROMCOMs (after just coming off What's Wrong With Secretary Kim and Her Private Life) and had thought she was a bit too one-dimensional but Healer showed that she has a full palette of versatile emotions and is a wonderful actress.

This series had camaraderie, romance, action, humor, a solid plot, fabulous acting, and no wasted characters. It had 20 episodes and I found myself watching every single one without skipping through the scenes. My only qualm (and it's really not a big deal) is that the action scene choreography is a bit dated, so what was likely very cool and cutting edge then, is a littttttttle bit cheesy to watch now. I *did* end up skipping through those scenes a bit just because it took me out of the scene a little bit unnecessarily. The OST was nice and I liked the song that they played for the main leads whenever they had a romantic beat. It reminded me a little bit of an 80s Simple Minds track.

Would recommend. Definitely a good watch, decided to give this drama a go when i was stuck in quarantine (covid 19 - 2020). Was worth it, thrilling and loved the actors. It was fun to see kim mi kyung in a hacker role - fantastic supprting actress. As well as the fun quirky,cheeky and lovable moments from the rest of the cast. love, love - loved it.
Even bought myself the military hat healer wears to remind of his cool ass moments - i definitely wont be running on top of buildings with it tho???
Also shoutout to the composers of the ost. For making it great.
A must watch if you are into similar - Action,romantic, comedy, defective etc dramas.

It's a Drama that even my mom adores

As you can see in the title, I watched this drama with my mom and we both fell in love the story, the actors and just everything that this beautiful and exciting Drama had to offer.

The Story: It was a different show, something I've never seen before (despite the mysterious male lead, but even he was unique on his own.) The drama hooked me at the very beginning and kept me excited with every new episode. The three main characters are strong Individuals, each with a different goal that they want to archive and finding out that in the end the goals are nearly the same.
Despite the many actions sequences, there is also a tiny, but strong, romance blossoming between the two leads of the show, that gave me a bunch of butterflies in my stomach.

Acting: All of the cast, and I mean literally ALL actors in this drama, do an excellent job in portraying the characters. No one felt forced and I loved it. I can totally understand why this drama made Ji Chang Wook so famous, his chemistry together with Park Min Young was so good, I can't even describe it.

Music: The Music was also very fitting. The Healer theme is a melody that still is in my head and it seems like it will never get out. Despite that Eternal Love is a title that also stood out to me, the other OSTs were also great but I can't really remember all of them.

All in all, I would recommend this series to you. It's great and has many genres to offer. I wish you all a lovely and enjoyable time while watching the 2015 drama 'Healer'.
