Alias: Healer (2014)

After watching the show what's wrong with secretary Kim in 2017 I became a big fan of Park Min Young and after I finished it I wanted to find other shows that I can watch her in and Healer was the first recommendation and has become my favorite kdrama of all time. After finishing it I became emotionally attached to Park Min Young and also became a new fan of Ji Chang wook. I love everything in this show like the romance, comedy, action scenes, suspense, thriller, the jaw-dropping moments, the heartwarming moments, the acting and mostly the music. This show may have not been my first to watch as a kdrama but it has became my gateway into watching more shows for the 3 years that I have been watching kdramas.

Quoise plus fascinant qu'un grand et bel homme brun et mystérieux ?

Pourquoi j’adore ce drama :
L’histoire est magnifiquement construite, les rebondissements s’enchaînent parfaitement, l’équilibre entre le thriller, la romance(parfaite ! rien de gnangnan, les pièges habituels parfaitement évités)  et l’enquête est impeccable, saupoudré tout au long d’une bonne dose d’humour et de belles scènes de vraie émotion ! (oui, beaucoup de "parfait" mais il l'est!! )
Bon, il y a bien des changements de tenue en 3 secondes 1/2 dans un coin de couloir qui ont fait tiquer mon goût de la vraisemblance, et les acrobaties sont si bien filmées, si habilement qu’on ne se demande (presque)jamais si c’est possible ! Mais on est tellement embarqué, qu’on s’en fiche totalement, d’ailleurs c’est très secondaire ! Et la fin est superbe, un vrai bouquet final, menée tambour battant et qui satisfait tout le monde, même moi !! c’est dire !

Ce que je n’aime pas : la chanson !!   Une bonne femme à la voix stridente vient hululer régulièrement sur les scènes entre les deux héros au moment qui demande le plus silence et émotion, je l’aurais tuée !!     Les autres chansons, ça va on peut les oublier mais celle-là !!
Mais bon, là aussi, c’est un détail !  

Alors, c’est la 3ème fois que je le vois       et je me suis retrouvée à enchaîner les épisodes comme la première fois ! Donc, avis aux amateurs !

Haunted by their love

Bare with me as I typically do not write reviews. I first watched Ji Chang Wook in Love Struck In the City and fell in love with his talent. As such, watching an actor in all his/her work is how I become a fan. I have not been disappointed so far with this man’s talent. The exception role I couldn’t sit through watching him in is Backstreet Rookie. I felt it was beneath him in terms of his amazing storytelling.

This story is beautiful and came together well. Kudos to the writer. I will definitely seek other works by them as well.

So glad to see Yoo Ji Tae in something that shines a better light character wise. First saw him in The Good Wife. I’m a fan of both the Korean and the American versions. This show introduces me to Park Min Young who I will look to watch in something else as well.

All of the characters in this story brought their A game. Outstanding bad guys and surprising good guys. When I absolutely hope something terrible happens to the bad guy in the story, it’s kudos to the actor’s talent in my book. These characters/actors brought me right to the edge. Bravo!!!

I too, do not want to be redundant in this review as many have already said exactly what I’ve experienced overall. I am hauntingly in love with this OTP and can’t get enough of their love. I’m used to the “clean”perspective of these dramas (in this medium) not showing what happens under the sheets. The actors ability to tell that part of the story through their chemistry/talent makes me appreciate what I don’t need to see. I know what it is and these two have IT!

The wrap up was great and I would watch this story again. Of course I am now an even bigger Ji Chang Wook fan as this role has been stamped “worth every minute” he’s on screen on it!

Enjoy.

A hacker mais charmosa com o espião mais sexy: sucesso na certa!

Uma série completa de ação, romance, suspense e drama. É diferente de todos os doramas que já vi, tem uma estética bem ocidental. A história é complexa e cheia de camadas, a trama é cheia de suspense e adrenalina, e as cenas de confrontos muito bem produzidas.
O grande destaque ao meu ver é a hacker Jo Min Ja, essa é uma atriz fascinante que está impecável nessa série, a construção da sua personagem é muito criativa e divertida, e os mínimos detalhes tornam a personalidade dela toda especial e única: comendo um sushi inteiro ao invés de cortar em pedaços, o cabelo cheio e enrolado, sempre andando de meias e cantando musiquinhas excêntricas. Kim Mi Kyung sempre acaba pegando papel de mãe padrão em outros doramas, é revigorante ver uma atriz mais velha com um destaque diferenciado em "Healer".
Um segundo destaque, obviamente, é para o protagonista desempenhado por Ji Chang Wook, que está ridiculamente sexy nessa série, impossível não se apaixonar. Tudo nele transborda "me deseje, me venere", não tem como!
À parte dos acertos, creio que o início da série pecou um pouco na questão do timing.
Como a história é complexa, foram colocados diversos elementos da narrativa de uma só vez, o que deixa o expectador meio tonto de tanta informação, demora uns 3 episódios até você entender quem é quem.
Mesma coisa do final, foi encerrado um pouco às pressas, embora sem furos no roteiro. De qualquer forma, melhor assim do que ficar se arrastando e insistindo em redundâncias.

Wow long time ago I didn't watch such a great drama like this one

It has all the great complete aspects
Strong plot, solid story, amazing romance, nice action, great comedy

It has also friendship, love, betrayal, parental love

I was enjoying every second while watching it
But what annoys me much
As usual .... The END
The most weak point at KD's
It was too rush

It missed a lot
I needed to know
What happened to (park sang won)
And what's going to happen to someday newspaper and it's employees
What happened between FL and her mother
And what happened to ( Kim mi kyung ) is she retired or still helping them

I think it was going to be great if they added just one ep. to explain all that
Specially the drama wasn't boring at all so one ep. Would explain a lot

But still one of the most amazing dramas
I think dramas between 2012-2016 were greatest dramas really

what can i say :)

at first i really don't watch this drama, i thought that it will be dragging. but words can't really explain how good the production was made. the writer sure has a vague imagination to have this story. honestly the story could be compared to another drama in the past but i guess this is a bit futuristic and the continuity of the story is quite interesting. mind boggling as it is. the drama and the comedy side are good. i am really not a fan of Ji Chang wook but i say he is good in interacting with his co-actors.

overall this one is really fun and also exciting to watch. :)

don't get me wrong. I pretty much have a great time watching it.

I was having a block in terms of watching k-dramas and decided to give Healer a chance since Ji Chang Wook is one of my favorite Korean actors (and again manages to hold his place). I really enjoyed the story a lot, the amount of clichés was impressive, but not in a way that was overwhelming or made me stop watching. Honestly, I found it easy to follow episode after episode and it took less than 3 days to finish watching.
I liked the cast and felt the chemistry between the characters, although the way the romance grew between them could have been better, I felt like the only reason there was attraction was that they knew each other as kids without knowing it.
Beyond that, I found the chapters very interesting, the action scenes were good and I managed to empathize with the characters.
But I must be honest, at some point I felt that the plot lost its way and just a bunch of random things happened that without being very convincing for the viewer turned out to be convenient for the plot itself, but I must say that I didn't care much and kept watching. On the other hand, I liked the ending, but it needed more emotion or maybe it's just me, I felt that it lacked depth in how some things turned out (like her relationship with his birth mother and what happened with Kim Mun Sik).
Anyway, yes I would recommend it for those who enjoy cliché stories, action and romance and are familiar with the characteristic structure of k-dramas.

Look Who's Stalking!

This is a totally original Kdrama that doesn't follow the usual formula (except for the knowing each other as kids bit)!
The main theme music seems a bit of a mismatch for the action and is calm & easygoing while the cool action scenes are playing out but somehow it works and is instantly recognisable as the Healer tune.
Ji Chang-wook & Park Min-young as the leads look so young! They get my vote for the most adorable, cutest couple ever to grace the small screen. When I watch them I think...ahhh that's what love is really like! I have to say I love Ms Jo (AKA Kim Mi-kyung) this has to be my favourite character I have ever seen her play (and she's played a lot)! Every character is beautifully acted and incorporated fully into the storyline, This is the secret to every successful drama. There is a sort of docu-edgy cool feel to the drama. It really is impeccably written. There are some really memorable scenes and great dialogue which demonstrate how creative the team were behind this. The last 2 episodes veer off into another direction, but it does not distract from the overall arc.

i just finished this drama after binging it over two days and i honestly don’t know what to do with myself! all of this afternoon, i’ve been trying to find my next drama (i’ve even started three and dropped them one episode in!) because simply NOTHING lives up to healer! the storyline really draws you in (the only problem is that i found it difficult to understand how everyone was related to each other but eventually picked it up) and i became so emotionally invested in it after such a short period of time. it made me cry, laugh, gasp and the acting is absolute perfection! the one reason why i wouldn’t rewatch it is because it just wouldn’t be the same as the excitement and suspense that i felt whilst the story unfolded cannot be replicated! i LIVE for the main couple’s romance and honestly wouldn’t change a thing about this drama :) if you’re debating whether or not to watch it, don’t even try and start it right now!!
