What I liked:
* The main lead's acting. I loved how he portrayed his character's emotional turmoil and, especially in the first half, his confusion about his feelings.
* I liked the pacing overall. There was a bit of a drag around the 2/3 mark, and the last episode felt rushed, but I really liked how the story, the parent's history and the love story, unfold.
* The action scenes were well done, and there was no excessive violence, only what was needed by the plot.
* I like the underlying message. Namely, that a free press (Free of politics and free of commercial restrictions) can be very powerful and that is why we need it.
* Something which I loved: At the beginning of each episode we were shown the last scene of the episode which came before -- which is not that new, but that scene always had something new, either just an extended version or the pint of view of another character, which sometimes even made me re-evaluate what I saw before. I don't think I've seen that done before, at least not that consistently.
What I did not like:
* Maybe I'm spoiled by dramas like "The Good Detective" or "Stove League", where there are multilayered characters and no clear line between good and bad, but I was disappointed by the "mystery", which was basically the "evil group who controls everything with an even more evil leader" trope. That trope is old and overdone, and I think audiences can and should expect more respect for their intelligence.
* I especially don't understand why they had to introduce a new plotpoint in the last two episodes. I'm sure they wanted to resolve the "item" and the murder of the first episode and maybe they wanted to finish with a bang, but it did not feel as an organic part of the rest.
* The female characters (apart from "Ajumma") also stayed remarkably passive during the whole show. The plot was mainly driven by Healer and the male reporter, while the young female reporter and the lady in the wheelchair usually followed behind, although both women's lives were equally, if not more, affected by the bad guys. Also, they are meant to be reporters! I expected them to take the lead at least in the later episodes.
All in all, it wasn't a bad watch but I'm not sure if it's worth a rewatch.

Love this series. The suspense...yes. Plot...yes. Action...yes. Romance...yes. Sexy....yes, yes.As soon as you finish 1 episode you'll crave the next episode, I mean crave like a fiend. The plot keeps you in it and the romance is just right. Spoiler!! Who knew holding hands could sizzle like this? 1 item though...they overdid the Parkour in one of the episodes and after all the build up there should have been a little more meat for the, I'll just call it, "the true reunion" towards the end. Also, Moments of the last episode felt a little hurried. This is the only reason this wasn't a puuuurfect 10...it's a 9.9! Other than that..it'll keep you on the edge of your seat. It's a fantastic journey. My recommendation? ---Just watch it!! Healer is the cure for the common KDrama! Fyi: . I'm now going to be looking out for more shows with Ji Chang-Wook. Empress Ki...you and I will be in for a looong binge.

Eu sou apaixonada por esse drama, assisti ele duas vezes já kkkkkkk. As atuações estão ótimas, você se encanta pelo casal e por como ambos vão se aproximando e descobrindo aos poucos a conexão de seus passados. O mocinho é um digno herói, todo badass, inteligente, mas longe de ser mimado e chato. É o nice protagonista que faz a gente cair de amores logo nas primeiras cenas. A mocinha também nos encanta bem rapidinho, com seu jeito brilhante, doce, aventureiro, apesar de seu passado traumático (tal como nosso mocinho também não teve uma vida fácil). Aí os dois se juntam e se tornam uma das nossas duplas preferidas de todos os tempos. A cumplicidade entre eles é tão linda, a gente se derrete com as cenas. Eu amo demais tramas de ação e mistério com muito romance, é tudo o que eu peço pra maratonar num final de semana.
É difícil dizer o que eu não gostei nesse drama, tipo um ponto a se criticar e tal. Talvez o fato de não ter uma segunda temporada kkkkkkkkk.

Os personagens são bem interessantes e a interação deles e muito boa, nosso casal também é muito bom e a trilha sonora e ótima.
Algumas coisas que não gostei no drama, foram as cenas de ação, principalmente as do Healer pulando entre os prédios, achei que seria estilo B13 e fiquei decepcionado, pois foram decadentes, inclusive houve uma das cenas em que ele pula entre o vidro do prédio que deu pra vê o guindaste, foi horrível kkkkkk, o desfecho da história também deixou a desejar, foi bem corrido e colocaram personagens que nunca foram citados ou tiveram qualquer tipo de participação importante, ela só estava ali porque o drama precisava acaba e pronto, fora alguns personagens que não tiveram um desfecho decente, como o irmão do repórter famoso e o assistente dele que matou o mestre do Healer é o próprio vilão da série, o "ancião".........enfim, no geral é um bom drama!

Not my cup of tea
I feel bad because a lot of people have recommended this drama and I genuinly tried to enjoy it.I think this one might just be me more than the drama. I'm more of a main character focus first then slowly get into plot - high stakes - larger than life conflict sort of person. This drama just failed to make me care about the characters.
When I first started watching the very first episode we hardly spent much screen time with the MC. There is just too much going on, so many overly complicated political nuances that I honestly do not have the patience to follow at this point in the story. I usually can appreciate the political side of dramas and the evil overlords that want to conquer the world and kill ML but with this one, because I barely had any information about ML and the situation at hand, I couldn't care less if he died or not. It's a bit of a structural problem... like they're introducing the bad guys and side characters first and ML and FL second. It just felt all over the place and very disconnected. I gave it five episodes and each one felt like a chore and homework mixed together. I had to keep tabs on everyone all at once and the backstory is not very engaging.
ML is charismatic and has um.. visual appeal, but other than that I'm not really seeing much five episodes in. He might get better in the future but if you haven't been able to properly introduce your ML in five hours I can't help you. His connection with FL- them knowing each other as kids but maybe not remembering is something that I've seen being handled so much better in other dramas. A picture of both kids sleeping next to each other is just not enough to make me relate to them. If you're having them be childhood friends at least have them be awake. I don't care for sleeping characters as an introduction.
FL is annoying... such a disappointment from her wonderful introduction being raised by thugs. All that goes out the window very quickly for the sake of rescuing her. I love me some damsel in distress actually, but it felt... forced here.
I did not care for Reporter guy or his backstory. Sorry.
Overall this drama lacks the binge factor/page turner/mystery aspect that makes me click the next episode. I might come back to it one day and give it a chance, but probably not at the time being.

the blend of adrenaline-pumping thrills, a truly sparky, heartfelt OTP, a deeply melty – yet flawed and believable – hero, and a courageous, strong heroine, makes for an exhilaratingly heady combination of feels that just sends my heart in multiple directions all at once.
Highly polished camera work and its very effective, very immersive OST, and it’s a combination that’s pretty darn hard to beat.
A worth watching drama.
