The Actors portrayed their roles in a superb manner especially Ji chang Wook. He really nailed being a Healer. So strong yet clingy. I am so in love with his character.
The story is great. Honestly, I’ve watched lots of K Drama and I can’t seem to move on with Healer. Nothing compares. You’ll experience a roller coaster emotion in this drama. Two thumbs up. And I think it deserves more than its rating.
And the OST. It's perfect for every scene.
And I am watching it for the Nth time and I am still enjoying it.

If I were to compare Healer to any other dramas I would say it's a combination of City Hunter and Pinocchio, with it's own spin, of course. Healer was just so well balanced between action, politics (and flashbacks), romance, comedy, etc. It had everything. It made me laugh, it made me cry, basically, it made me feel all of the emotions.
Usually when I watch dramas there's one aspect of the show that bothers me or lowers my opinion of the drama. But this wasn't the case with Healer! While it took a couple of episodes to fully understand everything that was going on, the story was wonderfully developed and stayed entertaining throughout the whole show. I will say that there were a couple of things I was wondering about that never got closure, but you can really only fit in so much before it becomes overwhelming.
The acting in this show was really great as well! Park Min Young has yet to disappoint me and Ji Chang Wook was fabulous. Together they were perfect. Their chemistry was wonderful! All the other actors were perfect for their roles and held up their ends of the plot. All of the characters were great (even the antagonists)!
I really loved the Healer soundtrack as well. I think "Eternal Love" captures the essence of the show and I've been listening to it on repeat. Healer evokes such a sense of nostalgia in you. I can't quite explain it. I think all of the flashbacks in the show contribute to this.
Speaking of which, I loved the flashbacks! Of course, there were some typical K-drama flashbacks to romantic moments in the show, but for the most part they were all crucial to the plot. I found that I was just as interested in what happened in the past as what was happening in the present. I don't know if I've watched a drama that has utilized the flashback cliche as well as Healer.
Overall, I really loved Healer. It wasn't perfect. But in my book, it's pretty darn close. Normally I would make a big deal of how the ending wasn't satisfying enough, but somehow I think the ending of Healer really fits the show. While a little part of my fangirl heart wishes we were shown more, I'm still happy with what we got. Healer is definitely one that I'd like to rewatch someday!

1. Ji chang wook and Park Min Young - wow they amazed me to the highest level!
They are so brilliant and so believable that i shipped them in real life! Their
Chemistry is such a hit! Jcw and PMY earned the respect of so may viewers
Even in the international audience. They act so natural, spontaneous and with so much fluidity.
2. Plot and story - a very clever fusion of the past and the present situation. No episodes that will get you bored since the plot are intertwined. Story is unique, never seen something like this before.
3. Romance and skinship - one of the best and amazing romance between the OTPs not to mentioned the many skinship, stares, gestures, handheld, hugs and back hugs, name it, and it just so real or they are really good actors to begin with? Never seen a romance like this, they just love adore care and trust each other. No noble idiocy, misunderstanding are resolved immediately because they just really love each other not wanting to have an unnecessary prolong misunderstanding.
4. The "Feels" - i have never seen a drama loaded with a lot of "feels" and emotions as Healer! So many emotions are displayed in this show not to mentioned all those feels with romance undertone! I have never experienced spazzing, drooling, screamin nor those feeling of guilt, pain, longing, waiting, love, loyalty, abandonment, loneliness, sadness, madness, crazy in love among others in my other kdrama watching! Healer is a one stop drama with all those emotions intertwining and wow so beautiful indeed!
Things i do not like: cant really think now of any, maybe this just ended with many of its followers and fans left ruined (vs their normal daily life ) hahaha....
If there's one thing that made me out of Healer, it is the realization that a true and loving relationship conquers everything, it inspires me to become one---loving, caring and trusting person!

In all episodes, your mind will be triggered what will happen next. You will become one of those reporters and policemen wanting to solve the crime, to solve the mystery and to catch the suspects. You’ll become compassionate on how hard life has been especially for Healer. And of course, you will fall deeply in love and might feel jealous to our love interest – Seo Jeong Hoo and Chae Yeong Shin. They are my definition of “relationship goals”.
Don’t forget the OST of this drama. OMG! This is the first ever kdrama I watched that has pure English OST – Eternal Love by MLTR. Everytime it plays, either my heart wants shout or my lips automatically smiles. It seems that I found one of my wedding songs. :)
Of course, all dramas has it flaws. This drama is not an exception. There are some scenes that are not convincing but those scenes are minimal. If you’re too much into the drama, you might not notice it.
Overall, I will definitely recommend this drama. I’m not the type who recommends the drama I watch because I’m not confident if other people will like the same. But this drama, it give me so much confidence.

I still can't believe it's over!
Man, oh man. This drama was great. I loved it. I wish there were more episodes-- ahh I'm going to miss this!Story: What can I say.. It was perfect, the characters were well developed and there were no plot holes (YESSS!), the pacing was kind of slow though but that didn't bother me because I just watched the whole drama with a fast forward pace (I can read subtitles quickly). IT WAS AMAZING THOUGH. I was so scared for the last episode, I thought the author would ruin it for us just like most Korean authors, but NO! The ending was awesome and I really liked it.
Acting/Cast: CHANGWOOK, PLEASE GET MORE ROLES LIKE THIS. I would have liked it better if Min Young kept her long hair like in City Hunter but well, she still looked pretty. The acting was excellent. There's CHEMISTRY and they were convincing.
Music: Oh my love. I'm all yours. And there will never be another one 'cause I'm eternally yours... Ok you guys get it, I can't stop listening to it!! Do check these soundtracks out!
Rewatch Value: Changwook + Min Young + amazing plotline? What is there not to love?!
Overall: I LOVE THIS DRAMA HEAPS and highly recommend it!

The cast was superb; could not think of anyone better. Ji Chang Wook and Park Min Young had beautiful chemistry that made me smile just seeing them in the same room together. The whole Clark Kent trope was done magnificently: Ji Chang Wook playing Jung Hoo playing Bong Soo... it's amazing work. Truly. Yoo Ji Tae was wonderful as well... I was worried for Moon Ho a little at the beginning but he really came through in the end. Of course Young Shin was more than just a 2D heroine... Park Min Young has improved since City Hunter.
Can I just say that Eternal Love is my all time favorite OST now? "It's a beautiful feeling... what we've got deep inside...." I just... aw.
The story was wonderfully executed. It didn't drag on for too long like most dramas tend to do... milking out every little plot point and upping the melodramatic angst unnecessarily. Healer made sure to address each plot point and moved on to the next one while still staying on top of the main plot. What I loved most about this is that between Jung Hoo and Young Shin, there was not REAL K-drama trope of the "misunderstanding" or "first love" angst. When a problem arose, they TALKED IT OUT like a normal couple might and worked through it in less than one episode.
I definitely recommend this drama to anyone who loved City Hunter, but is ready to add in more of the comedy and a more natural romance. Min Young and Lee Min Ho looked good together, but I think I may like Chang Wook better. I also recommend this drama to someone who is into secret identities, spying, high tech gear, and all around wonderfully choreographed action sequences. Definitely worth a rewatch.

The story line is nothing special what made me want to keep watching this was the actors and their chemistry with each other. THE whole time i was on my toes and almost losing it in some points. Honestly 20ep was a bit long they could have finished it in 16. The last two ep were a bit frustrating because it left me wanting to find out what happened to the other characters nevertheless, although my satisfaction was not fulfilled it was nice to see a drama that keeps the momentum going. And the fact that there was some comedy also made this drama enjoyable LOVED Chang Wook here even better than in Empress KI. So good luck and enjoy the drama it is HIGHLY addictive.

My friend introduced me to this drama and I decided to give it a try considering it looked similar to City Hunter with the same female lead and everything. However, it exceeded my expectation and is so much better than CH. I marathoned this drama in two days and now I'm crying.
This drama gives you feels. Literal feels in the heart. Moreover, you'll fall head over heels in love with Healer/Seo Jung Hoo/Bong Soo/Ji Chang Wook. <33333 I don't know how I haven't heard of him before but after watching this drama, I'll definitely check out Empress Ki.
The think I liked the most about this drama was that it wasn't draggy anywhere. I've watched a lot of dramas and most of them tend to drag a bit close to the end. However, Healer not only didn't drag, it kept the pace going until the very last scene.
Also, the ROMANCE. omg... It felt so real, the chemistry was unbelievably convincing and awesome. You HAVE to watch it to know what I'm talking about. Ugh, JCW performed his role so well and so did PMY. They are both soo talented and loving in every way.
I'm still dealing with post-drama syndrome as you can see b/c I just can't believe it ended! I miss seeing Ji Chang Wook's beautiful face on my screen everyday. :( To deal w/ it, I've been watching BTS vids and stalking Ji Chang Wook ;)))) It's the only way to heal my broken heart ;(
Oh and! The music!! The instrumental music that always play at an intense scene is so good! I have been listening to it on repeat. The song "Eternal Love" is the main OST and I have to say at the beginning I wasn't such a big fan but after listening to it a few times, ofc I fell in love. lol
SO AFTER READING THIS AND YOU ARE STILL NOT CONVINCED TO WATCH HEALER, THEN YOU ARE GOING TO MISS THE MOST AMAZING DRAMA OF YOUR LIFE. lmao but srs, go watch it, it's totally worth it. :D

STORY
I was captivated by the story since the 1st episode. I would even watch a drama just about the 'errand boy' job. I really liked the first two episodes, the drama had kind of a different vibe. After second episode it gave the vibe of City Hunter. It is not a bad thing. City Hunter is one of the best dramas I've seen and I have to say that Healer was even better.
The story was very well-written. I was never bored and did not fast-forward at all, which I tend to do. It was serious and funny at the same time. My type of drama.
I agree with most of the people that the ending was not a proper one. It could have been done in a better way, if they extended the final episode for about 10minutes. That would be enough. However, I liked the ending in general (much better than in City Hunter if you ask me).
ACTING
As I stated above, I am not a fan of Park Min Young, even though I have seen her dramas like City Hunter or Sungkyunkwan Scandal. Here, I did not mind her. Her acting was not top notch but she was immersed into her character very well. The character of Chae Yeong Shin was a strong character, very likeable and not weak at any point (even though we could have seen some of her weaknesses). I really liked that character. Great job, Park Min Young!
It was my first time watching something with Ji Chang Wook. I've just seen him on RM. He was a big surprise for me. His acting was really good and I was immersed by his looks. His character of Healer...I loved him! Also you could have seen the diversity in his acting here - just compare his acting as a Healer and as Park Bong Soo. It was so different. He has shown his serious side, but also a comedic side. Not many actors can pull it off as well as he can.
Yoo Ji Tae is a top notch actor. My first time seeing him was in Ditto. I have seen this movie a long time ago and don't really remember his performance there. However, he proved here that he is a Top Actor. In the beginning I wasn't sure if he is the bad guy or the good guy, if he is just a pretentious reporter or is he actually a great person? Throughout the drama, I was able to read him more. This made his character very interesting, you were not sure what he was actually thinking. However, he could express his emotions very well. It is really difficult to describe it, you just have to see it yourself.
Also I have to mention Kim Mi Kyung. Healer was the first drama I actually liked her character in.
Beside Healer, my favourite character was Park Sang Myun's character. Such a cool dad he was. Great performance by this ahjussi. I love every scene he was in.
MUSIC
Music was great but not perfect. Except for two songs, none of them stuck in my head. I really liked the song Eternal Love by Michael Learns To Rock and the instrumental main title. When it comes to music, I have to say that City Hunter's music was better, especially the instrumental.
OVERALL
As for me, It was one of the best dramas I have seen so far. Captivating, entertaining, gripping, fast-paced, great acting, very well-written story, funny and exciting.
Thanks to Healer I was not available in the Real Life for 20 hours. So if you are planning to watch it, make sure that you have no assignments to hand it or anything like that, or you will end up like me...being addicted to the story and not being able to escape the dramaland for 2 days.

it's the perfect action-romance show and the other ones are not as good! hehehe >:D
Seo Jong Hu, a nimble fighter who goes by the codename Healer, leads a solitary life working as an errand boy for various tasks. When he was asked to collect DNA from a young woman, Young Shin, he discovers her connections to his father's past. Intrigued to uncover this mystery, he disguises himself as an intern at her newspaper agency, while falling head over heels for her. However, the more he investigates, the more he put them both in danger.Healer gives me unforgettable characters, cute romance with all the butterfly feelings, fun parkour action, unexpected comedy and angsty conflicts... all presented very cohesively in this 20-episode-show. Every emotional scene hits the way it should, I enjoyed every episode equally. Even after months, I still love it as much and keep coming back to rewatch specific scenes.
I love how authentic Healer and Yeong Sin's personalities are, their quirks, their flaws, their chemistry... played to perfection by Ji Chang Wook and Park Min Young. Their romance felt fitting and never take me out of the angsty part. They respects each other and their relationship is based with consent and trust. Their hand skinships scenes are so memorable, I love every second of it. Aside from the romance, the action is full of comedy and thrills! I'm addicted seeing Healer's running sequence, it's like art! As far as ending goes... I like how 'simple' it is, there is nothing grand happened but most characters are given proper closures.

The chemistry ... oh man, the chemistry between the lead protagonists is soooooo good. Their love is sweet and nurturing. I particularly liked how Ji Chang Wook depicted the differences between Healer and the shy Bong Soo. It made me very reminiscent of Superman and Clark Kent.
I found this drama very balanced across its genres. It touches on mostly Action and Romance, but there's just enough Comedy to keep it light enough. It has all the good feels, but it is by no means a melodrama. Thank goodness. I cannot recommend this drama enough. In fact, I am ready to watch it again!
