The emperor is naked
All the reviews praised this drama as 10/10 best thing ever, and with netflix taking it down in a couple of weeks, "Healer" arose interest from fans both old and new.
But is it worth the hype? Well, after seeing 5 episodes, I'm afraid to say....no, not really.
But first thing first. I realize I'm not a target audience. I expected a thriller with some love story, but instead I got love story with lots of melodrama and some thriller. Very little action.
The mc is batman-like hypercompetent gary stu, supported by super-hacker who can just hack anything in 3 seconds if she just looks at it through mc's magic super high tech glasses. No one must know his identity, which doesn't stop him from enlisting at news agency where he pretends to be a clumsy, stuttering dumbass in character development as old as Clark Kent.
There he falls in love with a girl he was originally paid to stalk. However, little does he know they are actually amnesiac childhood friends with childhood promise, and every single villain and side character they will encounter from now on is somehow connected to their past!
Oh did I mention that the first time they met in person the bus they were driving stopped too fast, and the female mc conveniently fell in Healer's embrace? Perhaps I also should mention that he's so hyper-competent at combat he can defeat multiple armed thugs at once, and parkour fast enough to catch up with a car. Oh, and of course, everyone takes notice of how handsome he is....
In other words, the story is full of tropes and cliches. It's fairly well-executed, as far as acting and production values and direction are concerned, at least based on these 5 episodes I've seen so far. But it's just....boring and predictable.
The FL is pretty cute, but so far, she's just been a clueless damsel in distress. Any sign of competence shown in the first episode went poof, she can't even notice she's being stalked by multiple people at the time.
And don't get me started on melodrama. I had to turn episode 5 off when FL's wheelchair-bound mother got the worst acted epilepsy attack I've seen in years just when the name of her amnesiac missing daughter was mentioned.
