Healer

Well to be honest I was really into this drama in the beginning but I felt it's a bit dragging in some places & hurried in others... the romance is really cheesy, Seo Jung Hoo is needy for a man working is such a field especially for his age, his character would be more realistic if he was younger or wasn't a healer for such a long time. also, I think it was better if there was no mention of politics in the story as the politics part wasn't realistic at all, I didn't get the dark vibe I used to get watching other political dramas. Everything, in the end, was solved in a miracle way & led to a perfect ending which was more of a superhero style.

'Healer' healed my Soul

This is the only time I've ever written a review about a show I liked. This is also the only show I never hit fast forward for even once. From start to finish Healer will grip you, pull at your heart, then heal you again. The acting is incredible and the chemistry between the ML and FL is phenomenal. The plot is non-stop and so well written, the action is fantastic and the characters all grow together. My only complaint is that it should have gone longer, it felt a bit rushed at the end even though everything tied up beautifully they could have stretched the last episode out to cover all the storylines of secondary characters. 10/10 would watch over and over again! "Healer" healed my soul.

Watch it now!!!

I honestly don’t know why I waited so long to watch Healer, especially since I’m such a huge fan of Ji Chang wook. I saw it was leaving Netflix and thought, now or never, and I’m so glad I finally watched it because I absolutely LOVED it.

It had everything, romance, action, suspense… and of course Ji Chang wook’s smile. The story kept me hooked from beginning to end, and the chemistry was incredible. The entire cast did an amazing job with their acting, and every character felt memorable.

Definitely one of those dramas I wish I could watch again for the first time and I just finished watching it.

Ever wandered what a middle class “Batman” with shades of “Superman” & a pinch of “Spiderman” would be like? Well then this is the show for you.

Ji Chang Wook and Park Min Young delivers, with great chemistry and a believable romance arc.
The action was not overbearing.

The quasi superhero bent serves as a backdrop for a sweet and endearing romance.

Superman as a Korean Drama - Definitely Worth Watching!

A man who is basically a hidden superhero (albeit they refer to him so much less as an 'errand boy') in the community who comes to help people in their darkest moments. He holds no prejudice and is happy to work for those who are willing to pay for his unique services. He is a man of a million faces and can blend in and out of a crowd effortlessly.

The description of the show is somewhat misleading. I would honestly say that where there are multiple leads -- that Healer and Chae Young Shin are the main leaders in this, but there are some amazing side stories that make others into leads as well. So many different stories, interwoven -- it was fantastic to watch and wonderful to experience. I was more than a little lost at the beginning because it kind of throws you into the middle of a story without explaining what the heck is going on -- but I loved it nonetheless. If you find yourself lost during the first episode -- PLEASE -- push to the 2nd, 3rd, and yes, even 4th episode -- you will find yourself so involved, you won't be able to let go.

The whole "The Boat That Rocked" (2009) concept, where people had to keep moving in order to record the news without being apprehended for speaking a) the truth, and b) their minds -- was a wonderful concept. I am a fan of how Korean dramas tend to have the fate concept written in. As in, something happened when they were children, or they knew each other as children, and later on in life found one another. This is not just action, comedy, thriller, but also romance. It's well-written, and there is great chemistry between the characters.

I am a huge fan of Ahjumma's (Kim Mi-Kyung) character, and have watched her in countless shows. Such as 'Crash Course for Romance', 'Heirs', and 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay'. Ji Chang-Wook in 'Melting Me Softly', 'Backstreet Rookie', 'Suspicious Partner' and much more. I've also seen Yoo Ji-tae in 'The House That Jack Built', and 'Old Boy' (2003). They are all wonderfully beautiful and attractive people, no matter what role they are playing. There are many great actors and actresses in this series, and I would suggest it to anyone even if you're just starting out on your kdrama journey.

My favorite K drama

I’m just re-watching Healer for the second time. It’s my favorite K drama or at least in the top three. The story is terrific, would love to see more of the work by this screenwriter. The acting is wonderful and the music is better than your average story.
Each one of the 20 episodes is interesting and moves. The story and the love relationship along exceptionally well. Someone commented that you shouldn’t be put off by the fact that it’s 10 years old. That makes me want to laugh since I’m over 60 and 10 years is relatively recent to me. I only discovered these K dramas about six months ago and I’ve already devoured at least 40 different series.
once again, I have to say that Healer is truly a stand out among these dramas.

It is the best drama I've ever seen. I watched it already 5 times and for sure it's not the end. Everytime I was touched and happy. I have no words to describe how much I love this drama. Everything was perfect starting with actors through the storyline and music. For me it is a masterpiece. If someone didn't watch it then should do it!
___Storyline is a kind of uniqal destiny and real life. Plots are connected very carefully and thoughtfully. It is not like a tradidional Korean dramas that I don't like these that much.
___ Acting for me is just perfect. Ji Chang Wook's and Park Min Young's charisma and experience is the best detal in this drama. I watched almost every drama with them. And everytime I enjoyed it.
___ I would like to watch similar drama in future but still I think it won't be better than Healer. I think nothing can beat Healer.

TOPS. Other dramas better be learning from this one!

A drama way ahead of its times!!
THE drama.
It's the drama that tries to do a lot of things and actually does them immaculately.
It's 2024, soon to be 2025 and I'm still obsessed.

Happy ending for those wondering, this drama is packed with a solid love theme with action, mystery, adventure and a bit of family politics! Keeps you entertained and at the edge of your seat with anticipation.

The cast and acting is superb and perfect. It will break your heart and then gently put all those pieces back together for you.

Till date, Ji Chang Wook has remained my favourite actor and that's not going to change for a while. That man is something else. Istg.

Park Minyoung's character is unhinged and powerful. I fell in love with the three leads and then some!

The plot was PLOTTING. Everything about it is wonderful and it's definitely one drama I'm going rewatch again and again and again . And this is me saying that as a very seasoned watcher. And so it means SOMETHING.

So good. It's been awhile since I became so obsessed with something, which is interesting because I had watched the first episode and found it great, but went to watch other shows and only came back to see after finishing one or two. But at the instant I came back, I became fully immersed into the story, not wanting to stop watching even if I had already been watching for 5 hours straight. The blend of genres is made in a unique way, because usually shows like this tend to become messy when balancing the different elements, while Healer was the perfect combination of every thing it proposes. The action was top notch, the chemistry between not only the couple itself, but every actor with each other was out of this world, everyone seems to take the best out of each other in this wild journey. I also loved the comedy elements, because they were never forced and it never felt out of place. A hell of a good drama, that I can't stop praising enough for everything.

First I've gotta say that this felt very similar to City Hunter, probably because of Park Min Young, but I thought she did a better job in this show, I almost didn't recognize her. Second, it was super fun to see Kim Mi Kyung as a computer hacker; she is such a versatile actress and I'm always surprised by her roles, you would think she does this just for a new challenge. Thirdly, I was drawn to this show because of Ji Chang Wook, mostly because of his performance in Empress Ki, and I wanted MORE! This show felt very raw (in a good way) in some part, to the point where you get chills. It had a good balance of action, ROMANCE, and comedy, and the mystery also helped to drive the show, so I give it props on the story.

One of the best dramas

This is far and away one the best k-dramas ever! It has everything a successful drama should have, including an interesting storyline, plenty of action, suspense, romance, secrets to unravel, a great OST and a wonderful cast of characters. "Eternal Love" is one of the best songs ever in a drama. As the story unfolds it takes you through the history of a group of friends and how love, jealousy, betrayal and greed destroys them and later effects those who are left behind. The two male leads are major hotties and pure pleasure to watch. It is sure to make your top ten list! Don't miss it!
