cute, angsty, adorable

This will go down in history as one of my all-time favorites. I regret not watching this sooner.

This may not have been my ji Chang Wook awakening, but I love him all the more for it. He is best boyfriend material.

I have to admit: it does take a second to get used to the old style of filming, but I LOVED IT. I wasn’t sure about it at first, BUT IT IS SO GOOD. THIS IS 100% A CLASSIC.

The romance was just everything. It was so good, and I love the Superman hidden identity of Healer. He’s so charismatic. It was just SO GOOD. I got addicted to the OST, and it brings an onslaught of feelings everytime I hear it.

“ITS A BEAUTIFUL FEELING ~”

I will be rewatching this drama every December because it was just so good. It was kind of(?) a slow burn, but that made the angst feel so much more angsty.

Park Min Young was absolutely adorable in this drama. I’ve only been used to her as a kept-together woman, but she was so cute in this. Her acting is so versatile, and I loved her in this. ONE THING THOUGH. They did her bad with the haircut in the second half. Her hair at the beginning was perfect, but they cut it too short later. It’s okay though, because she still rocks it.

Overall, I will keep this drama in my heart as a classic.

Met my expectations completely

I haven't seen any other 'action kdramas' but i doubt any would come close to this one, its actually really good and pleasing to watch plus there is none of that unnecessary cliche stuff usually seen in dramas..to be honest i was expecting a really rushed and bad ending but im glad it didnt turn out like that.

Not bad, but not for everyone taste.

an action-packed drama with a perfect mix of romance, mystery, and suspense. Ji Chang-wook stars as a mysterious courier known as “Healer” who gets entangled In a decades-old conspiracy while protecting Chae Young-shin (Park Min-young), a spirited reporter. The drama keeps you on edge with its thrilling plot and well-choreographed action scenes. The romantic relationship is beautifully developed, with the leads sharing palpable chemistry. stands out for its gripping narrative, strong character development, and emotional depth..I just didn't like some parts of the female lead character but generally it's good.

Healer, a drama that won my heart

Healer is an excellent drama and one that gives me the most emotion throughout the drama. With a little air of the drama City Hunter, the plot is very well developed with the mixes of romances, family affairs, betrayals and especially action. The latter is also remarkable since the fight scenes are really epic and even memorable. It is also thanks to the latter that I was fully into the drama. The events then follow one another quite quickly.

Concerning the characters, the duo Jeong Hu/Healer and Yeong Sin, played by Ji Chang Wook and Park Min Young, is one of the biggest highlights of the drama. The actor Ji Chang Wook is SENSATIONAL and he is one of the big favorites as an actor and in the drama! As for Park Min Young, she confirms that she is still an excellent actress! Otherwise, I also got attached to the other character, namely Mun Hon (Yu Ji Tae). In terms of the OST, it perfectly matches the atmosphere of the drama. Everything you need to definitely love it!

Nauseating and cringy

I had high expectations about this show since reviews are glowing, but it's really weak.

I liked main actors too, they are alright. Plot through 5 episodes I watched is nothing special, kinda cliche, but not worst too.

But let me tell you about how awful production on this.

1) Stylistically it's really laughably corny at times, with hacker aestetic from late 90s early 00s which feels just lazy and outdated even for 2014, let alone for 2022. It's really hasn't aged very well.
2) Action scenes are funny, it's like worst of CW shows (Arrow, Flash etc). Lack of creativity and cringy editing.
3) Overall editing is atrocious, camera always jumps, even in casual scenes. There was a classic scene with work get together at a bar. And they filmed convo at the table with jump cuts on every line said.

Editing was a breaking straw for me and I dropped it on ep.5

Overrated is the only word to describe this show. Can't understand the hype at all. I understand they had to show background stories, but it was so boring. The plot is very loose and it is honestly a drag. I was patiently waiting for it to get a bit interesting, but nah! Maybe I am 1% of the population hating on this show, but seriously, this show is crap!
The finale was so rushed I didn't feel they had any closure. I was waiting for more to happen, for people to get punished and actually see their punishment, for something more. Anything that would change my opinion of the show. Nothing of the sort happened, wished I had passed on this show early.

"Healer" un drama con una temática muy diferente que te atrapa en seguida, los primeros capítulos muy buenos pero en lo personal en los últimos se me hizo algo lenta. aún así un buen drama recomendable para pasar el rato y para destacar personajes como la "ahjuma" o escenas tiernas entre los protagonistas, el final me gusto, me dio todo lo que necesitaba pero no me sorprendió demasiado.
en conclusión un buen drama de duración media, digno de recomendarse.

A big disappointment !

Whenever I was looking for a new drama to watch, I was never interested in this drama before. But I was intrigued after I saw that it has an 8,9 average rating here, on MDL... which is usually (IMPO) a good quality indicator about a show, unlike the Viki reviews that are a little bit less "selective".
So, I started watching it. Really not what I expected. It's moving very slowly and doesn't make much sense to me. The acting is terrible. I couldn't watch more than 3 episodes.
I give it a 5 out of respect for the cast and crew. Thank you for your efforts.

Better dramas to watch

Unfortunately if I'm not hooked from the first episode then that's it.

Despite having watched many, many kdramas I haven't yet watched a JCW so decided to pick one out based on the reviews. Initially the concept was good.. but when too many other characters became involved, with their own unimportant flashbacks, the show lost me from that point onwards. Just something about it just irked me and I quickly lost interest. I am sure it will get better and feature JCW more prominently but I'd rather spend my time on a drama that grabs my attention quickly and leaves me wanting more and more. The Healer failed to heal me.

I started watching this based on the positive reviews here, but couldn't even get through one episode - it comes across like a attempt at a bad American show. The protagonist lives in a derelict hideout and is given secret missions! He's assisted by someone click-clacking at a computer to hack into and control a building's security cameras!
No. I don't want to watch Korean take on a bad combination of "Alias" and "NCIS".
Maybe I'm missing out on some later developments in character, but at the moment, everyone comes across like a cardboard cutout
