I wish I could forget all of "Healer" just so I could watch it again without knowing what happens next. This is the best action AND romance drama I've seen so far, and no other compares.

The backstory of the lead characters is amazing. It is interesting, well developed and not cliche at all, which sets this drama apart from the rest. There is no love triangle, but a very loving relationship between a couple and someone who takes care of them as an older brother. There also isn't any meaningless conflict just to set the leads apart - everything that happens in the story is well explained, doesn't seem forced and doesn't compromise the personalities of the characters. There is a lot of dialogue in "Healer", which doesn't allow for misunderstandings that would stall the plot.

I loved that Young Shin, played by Park Min Young, is such a strong character in her own way. In contrast to Jeong Hoo, who was physically strong and socially awkward, she was endearing and brave, even with a condition that makes her vulnerable during violent encounters. She has a few damsel in distress moments, but they are important to establish her personality and position within the story, and not just the male lead's. Their relationship is also the best I've seen in any drama so far - even with a somewhat dodgy beginning and some lies, they look for intent in every action rather than being hurt over something that just seems upsetting. There is clear respect and an insane amount of chemistry between the Ming Young and Chang Wook.

I think this drama is a must see, and it deserves every praise it gets.
