Healer

Liked it

The story is emotional, mystery & friendship. After watching the trailer, I thought ML was a stalker who fell in love with her FL, but it's totally different. They build a mystery in one episode & reveal it within a few episodes, like the child's identity, who wants to harm her & why.

Seo Jung Hoo is one kind of agent. He is clever, smart, good at fighting, and has no friends. His jumping from one building to another gave me Tom Cruise feeling. I loved Ji Chang Wook acting like a fool.

Chae Yeong Shin a reporter on a small online platform. She is smart, cheerful, full of love, but has a dark past. She suddenly starts singing and dancing whenever she is depressed, nervous, scared. I liked Park Min Young acting especially her crying scenes.

Kim Moon Ho is a famous reporter who is searching for a child. The story from here. I loved that they didn't show any love triangle. Kim Moon Ho loves & cares for Chae Yeong Shin but not in a lovely way but as an elder.

Loved Jo Min Ja & her sudden outburst.

Chae Yeong Shin *& her father singing "I am Thirsty" & Seo Jung Hoo shock reaction. Her singing & dancing in her room while changing her clothes, she kicked her pants & it landed on Seo Jung Hoo face. The poor boy was so mortified.

It made me emotional when Seo Jung Hoo mother left him & young Seo Jung Hoo crying. His crying face made me cry.

Love the face off between Kim brothers.

Loved it every time Jo Min Ja suddenly appeared on Seo Jung Hoo's screens.

Choi Myung Hee knows that Kim Moon Shik is a changed person now. He is now cunning, a hypocrite, a psycho, manipulating everything, full of tricks, but she never doubts him that maybe he is the one behind everything, as she used to a reporter who used to fight against wrong & corrupt. I get that she also changed became seriously ill because of what happen to her in the past.

Love some sweet scenes like Seo Jung Hoo putting his hand on Chae Yeong Shin head while driving so that she doesn't get hurt. He followed her all the way to her house after the lift incident. She confessed her crush on him.

Seo Jung Hoo is the opposite of his father. His father is jolly minded, jokes around all the time, fun-loving, always smiling. On the other hand, Seo Jung Hoo is serious, doesn't talk much, unsocial. They walking scenes were emotional.

Pure friendships & lives which got ruined because of selfish people.

Seo Jung Hoo face when he had a table full of food, which was rare for him.

The death of three friends, especially Seo Jung Hoo's master, was heartbreaking.

I laughed hard at the screen when Seo Jung Hoo introduced himself as Chae Yeong Shin boyfriend & the way her father wanted to beat her up.

The ending would've been better. I badly wanted to see Choi Myung Hee & Oh Ji An reunion, but they didn't show it.

Things I like: Jeong hoo absolutely nailing it as Bong soo! :D

This was an absolute perfection, the storyline, the casting, the acting, the pacing and the chemistry between the main leads, everything was top notch. so satisfying I didn't expect a 2014 drama to be this delightful but oh well.

firstly the five friends and moon ho, the pirate broadcasting thing was so cool. it was nice to see youngsters in the 80's fighting for freedom in the way they best know to. it was sad where all of them ended up in life moving forward but still their bravery is worth talking about (maybe excluding moon sik).

secondly, Healer i mean Seo jeong hoo or should i say Park bong soo ;) he's such an interesting character. he could be an actor with the way he can just become another person if he wants to and beside that he's also a living weapon, dude doesn't need anything other than his hands to kick some asses :D the way he gradually develops an interest in CYS first and then falls and then changes his life goals was done really well.
"things i like, high places, small hands, these heir. things i don't like: anything and everything that keeps me away from this" -this is a dialogue I'll keep in my mind forever along with when he said "what kind of man makes his women go on a run" Seo jeong hoo, the man that you are. Ji Chang Wook practically lived his role here, bravo!

A drama to start them all

Since almost everything has already been said about Healer, I will try to keep this review as short as possible :
So, basically, you need to watch this drama. Right now.
Well, I'm not saying this is a perfect tv-show (slow motion effect abuse, too much emphasis on obvious things...)
But it's really enjoyable... mostly because there's something to see, to hear and to feel for everyone in this drama.
So... basically, you need to watch this drama.
