Curador (2014)

Complete entertainer

Healer was one of the first K dramas I watched. This was a wholesome experience. I mean ticks almost all checklists for entertainment . Even after watching so many Kdramas it stands out and I guess that’s what make it popular. It caters to all sort of people. You have a macho hero who also can be a cutie in another version ,sometimes dumb FL who has a character and sizzling chemistry between them. It also unravels a mystery with amazing action sequences.
The ending initially felt a bit underwhelming, but now I find it ok after diving deep into K drama world.😂
A must watch for beginners.👌

Easily my favorite Ji Chang-Wook series (although I loved his angst (and growth) in Empress Ki and he had some fantastic scenes in Lovestruck In The City). I also *really* loved Park Min Young in this role. I had only seen her in ROMCOMs (after just coming off What's Wrong With Secretary Kim and Her Private Life) and had thought she was a bit too one-dimensional but Healer showed that she has a full palette of versatile emotions and is a wonderful actress.

This series had camaraderie, romance, action, humor, a solid plot, fabulous acting, and no wasted characters. It had 20 episodes and I found myself watching every single one without skipping through the scenes. My only qualm (and it's really not a big deal) is that the action scene choreography is a bit dated, so what was likely very cool and cutting edge then, is a littttttttle bit cheesy to watch now. I *did* end up skipping through those scenes a bit just because it took me out of the scene a little bit unnecessarily. The OST was nice and I liked the song that they played for the main leads whenever they had a romantic beat. It reminded me a little bit of an 80s Simple Minds track.

Would recommend. Definitely a good watch, decided to give this drama a go when i was stuck in quarantine (covid 19 - 2020). Was worth it, thrilling and loved the actors. It was fun to see kim mi kyung in a hacker role - fantastic supprting actress. As well as the fun quirky,cheeky and lovable moments from the rest of the cast. love, love - loved it.
Even bought myself the military hat healer wears to remind of his cool ass moments - i definitely wont be running on top of buildings with it tho???
Also shoutout to the composers of the ost. For making it great.
A must watch if you are into similar - Action,romantic, comedy, defective etc dramas.

It's a Drama that even my mom adores

As you can see in the title, I watched this drama with my mom and we both fell in love the story, the actors and just everything that this beautiful and exciting Drama had to offer.

The Story: It was a different show, something I've never seen before (despite the mysterious male lead, but even he was unique on his own.) The drama hooked me at the very beginning and kept me excited with every new episode. The three main characters are strong Individuals, each with a different goal that they want to archive and finding out that in the end the goals are nearly the same.
Despite the many actions sequences, there is also a tiny, but strong, romance blossoming between the two leads of the show, that gave me a bunch of butterflies in my stomach.

Acting: All of the cast, and I mean literally ALL actors in this drama, do an excellent job in portraying the characters. No one felt forced and I loved it. I can totally understand why this drama made Ji Chang Wook so famous, his chemistry together with Park Min Young was so good, I can't even describe it.

Music: The Music was also very fitting. The Healer theme is a melody that still is in my head and it seems like it will never get out. Despite that Eternal Love is a title that also stood out to me, the other OSTs were also great but I can't really remember all of them.

All in all, I would recommend this series to you. It's great and has many genres to offer. I wish you all a lovely and enjoyable time while watching the 2015 drama 'Healer'.

Healer was my first Kdrama for the current round, I had rounds before with Japanese and Korean dramas, but this time I think its here to stay. Healer was the happy cause my friend was recommended me to see it, it was engaging at the very first episode seasoning with action, mystery and romance. The main lead, Ji Chang Wook, was excellent, his female lead Park Min Young was so so in this Kdrama. The chemistry was a little forced and I'm not sure who needs to be blame here. The plot was full with action from the right kind and not too force, Kdrama should be more like the Healer.

Unique story with excellent acting

This is one of my favorite dramas. It has great acting, a unique storyline, it’s fast paced with lots of action, the leads have great chemistry and a touching romance, and all of the side characters are well fleshed out with depth and growth.

Storyline:
I’ve watched hundreds of dramas and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a plot similar to this one. The male lead is a specialized courier that transports highly sensitive goods at a premium price. He’s extremely talented and is similar to James Bond in his skills. There’s a lot of scenes that will remind you of James Bond or Mission Impossible. One of his jobs requires him to get close to the female lead who is a rookie reporter. When they find out that not only do they have a shared past but that murder was involved, they decide to solve the mysteries of their past together which puts their lives in danger. The action scenes are really good, there are some great side characters, the romance is touching, and there’s lots of character growth.

Acting:
The male lead (Ji Chang Wook- a favorite of mine) pulls off the wounded, unwanted orphan that wants to be left alone really well. He draws you in with his sad and lonely life. And as you see him go from a tough badass to a sweet little puppy so seamlessly, you can’t help but be impressed with his acting skills. The female lead with her quirky little dances and spunky personality endears you to her. This is early on in Park Min Young’s career but you can already see her great acting skills shining through. From the female leads dad, to the genius hacker, to their madly successful reporter friend, the acting stands out in this drama.

Romance:
The romance is done so well in this drama. They fall in love gradually, at a realistic pace. But once they finally get together their chemistry is explosive. They never doubt one another and always have each other’s back. There’s lots of kisses, hugs, cuddles, and skinship. And yes, the kisses are realistic and steamy.

This drama will take you on a journey of emotions from sad and crying to laughing to being on the edge of your seat. It has just the right amount of sadness and angst too. There’s just enough to get you interested without being too over the top and upsetting you. And the mystery and suspense is really good. If there was anything I found fault with it was how convoluted and complicated the story was which was hard to follow sometimes. If it weren’t for that it would be a perfect 10. But it’s still an excellent drama worthy of watching multiple times.

Interesting...

I have started watching K-dramas since 2019 and I have learned the formulae they follow and the facets that make up a 30-60 mins, 16-20 episodes. With that being said I'm no K-drama connoisseur(at least not yet) but throughout my viewing experience, I was engrossed in the scenes that would affect the protagonists severely. Everything was in order, 18 episodes in, with the good side cast trying to get out of the enemy's web but it was all hopeless until the they write in a Dues ex machina in the form of biochemicals. Don't get me wrong, I think it was alright since they did some foreshadowing with the russian coverup that Ji Chang Wook used, but why was that the killing blow for the antagonists only leaves me to ask more questions. Hacking scenes are your classic clichés, spamming the keyboard and hitting enter to signify the hack or whatever. It's tiring to see it. But I can forgive it since it's part of the drama experience, everything is exaggerated and that is fine. The cast was alright, nothing to write home about. Park min young's role is pretty simple and tame. At first I was interested to see how her upbringing with ex-convicts would have played an important role but most of time she ends up in these situations where she is helpless and needs Ji Chang Wook to save her. But, I was surprised to find that a show that totals 20 hrs in viewtime fails to end gracefully or at least that's how I felt. In the past, I would despise an entire show/drama just for its ending being rushed, but I think it's unfair especially if the show/drama is captivating through its story telling and good cast. I would have liked to see some closure about the ending but alas this drama was released in 2014 and I'm writing this review 3 days after watching the show in 2021.

One of the best Kdrama of all times. If you want to go for the best romantic thriller drama, Here it is. I'll give it 10/10 since it has EVERYTHING that a romantic thriller drama must have.
It is the drama that has the Best plot, best story along with the amazing superb romance and chemistry between the leads. Ji chang wook and park min young were the best for their roles of Healer and Chae young shin respectively. Music keeps grabbing your attention throughout the series.
Not only love, but the concept of family is also impressive, along with the best portrayal of what reporters have to face in order to support some reality or truth.
No side characters and no over acting. I didn't get bored EVEN FOR A SECOND while watching Healer.
A must watch ??

Ji Chang Wook and Park Min Young - Perfection!

Healer is fantastic, from the first scene to the last. Ji Chang Wook is perfectly cast as Healer Seo Jung Hoo/Bong Soo, a night courier who can get any job done, for the right price. Chang Wookie was born to play roles like this, he is well suited to the physical and athleticism that makes the part so appealing. Park Min Young, as ever, is a joy. How lucky are all the leading men she has worked with? She has effortless chemistry with them all. Yoo Ji Tae and the fabulous Kim Mi Kyung round out the main cast.

Coat Rating - A solid 7, some very nice coats, but I will forever be enamoured by lovely Chang Wookie in his black leather jacket, zipped up tight, black jeans and boots. I think he should dress in nothing else.

Highly recommended.
