In simple terms, Healer is an action romance - it doesn't pretend to be anything more nor does it attempt to change one's worldview. However, it also doesn't let the fluffy elements of the drama get too carried a way causing the whole plot to evaporate as the story progresses.

Healer is an example of a story that knows where it is going from begining right to the end. The writers, directors and actors all contributed in executing the plot with utmost care and consideration in order to make it a thrilling and compelling viewer experience.

There was nothing about this drama that didn't work. The characters, their relationships, the sub plots and the overarching plot all fell into place perfectly. There is a perfect balance between humour, romance (the romance was so adorable) and drama. Each element is tightly interconnected making it near-impossible for there to be any plot-holes (as far as I can recall, I don't think that there any plot-holes). The tension is both extrinsic and intrinsic - with characters having to deal with their own internal conflicts as well the many external conflicts that surround them. And the pacing is absolutely wonderful: we never reach that 15 episode slump that commonly plagues most 20+ episode dramas.

Where most dramas succeed plot wise, they tend to fail character and cast wise. This isn't the case with Healer. As well as there being three exceptionally well-developed and performed leading characters, the chocolate box collection of supporting characters are also wonderfully developed - each with their own unique flavour. I was finding it difficult to decide who my favourite character was: often stuck in a rut between the boss hacker Ahjumma Min Ja, Healer, mini-Healer and Healer's Teacher. (Min Ja clearly won my heart, though. I would love to be friends with that woman.)

Even the villain was nunaced and had his own backstory and reasons for his actions. Yes, his reasons weren't as justifiable as he believed them to be, and yes he had reached a point of delusion, but I did genuinely pity the guy. Everyone, except for the Godfather-esque Elder and his OCD, pushover crony had a backstory and depth.

Above all else, though, we have Ji Chang Wook - Healer/Park Bong Soo/Seo Jeong Hoo - who managed to convey all the different emotions that our hero was going through with what seemed like no effort at all. Yes he's undeniably beautiful, but so are 9 out of 10 of the men we see K-Dramas, the difference with JCW is that the guy is a natural actor. When JCW was playing Jeong Hoo playing Park Bong Soo it was 100% convincing - he pulled of the nerdy and awkward character perfectly, and let the mask of Bong Soo unwittingly slip off WHEN IT WAS NEEDED. IT DIDN'T FEEL LIKE ACTING AT ALL! I believed his pain, I believed his sincerity, I believed his happiness because JCW played Healer/Park Bong Soo/Seo Jeong Hoo so naturally it was like watching a real person progress and develop over time.

I can't talk about how great Healer was without talking about his leading lady: Chae Young Shin. I'm not really sold on Park Min Young being a great actress, but the role of Chae Young Shin definitely did suit her. She managed to pull off the quirky heroine, who tries to overcome her own personal trauma in order to be brave and succeed in her goals without making her seem too headstrong or too weak. She successfully portrayed both the strenghts and weaknesses of Chae Young Shin, whilst also empahsising her emotional growth as a character. Her chemistry with Ji Chang Wook was also incredibly sparkling.

Which brings me onto my next point: the OTP. Healer has probably one of the most convincing, adorable and affectionate romances in dramaland. You can genuinely understand why Chae Young Shin and Park Bong Soo are drawn to each other and care deeply for one another. This going to sound cringey, but they are actually made for one another: they complete each other and both help the other to overcome their fears and flaws. Both understand each other, and any conflict that comes between them is quickly resovled - not because the writer threw in some crappy misunderstanding - but because the two understand each other enough to dispel any doubt over the other's morality. True, it's usually Young Shin that does the doubting, but Healer never gets angry with her over it because he - and the audience - know that her anxiety often leads her mind to tread in places that can cause her resolve to waver.

I could go on for days about our OTP, but then I wouldn't be able to mention her third leading character: Kim Moon Ho (Yoo Ji Tae). His character could have easily been overshadowed by the powerful OTP, but he turned out to be a man with some of the deepest personal conflict. Yoo Ji Tae gave us a nunaced performance of a man who wants to protect everyone he loves, whilst also attempting to repent for past sins that he did not commit. He was a great guardian-like figure to our OTP and he was a necessary push factor in order for both of them to grow.

I think now is the moment where I'm supposed to talk about the things I didn't like...Hmm...Well...I guess I bloody hated the OST - especially that Destiny song which was awfully cringeworthy and could disrupt the tone of some of the more emotional scenes. But the sucky song still does not prevent me from giving Healer that perfect 10.

In fact, the only problem with this drama is that NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE WATCHED IT IN KOREA. I don't think it was a wise decision to have Healer go up against Punch - which was always going to be stiff competition because of the people who were at the healm of the drama. It's obvious that JCW is not nearly as much of a star Kim Rae Won, and Healer was Song Ji Na's come back drama after that horrible fiasco that was Faith. Healer definitely deserved a higher viewership, but I'm glad that is succeeded in getting a cult following because that will prevent it from falling into K-dramaland oblivion for a long time to come.

To be perfectly honest, I thought it was going to be dumb, but since Song Ji Hyo was in it, I figured I'd give it a try. && it was honestly the BEST decision I've ever made.

This drama never failed to disappoint me. Each episode was more exciting than the next. The storyline is unique and I've never read or seen anything like it before. If you like a light-hearted drama with scenes that will make you laugh until you cry, this is the drama for you!

I could feel the chemistry between Soojin & Myeongsoo. Their scenes as the drama progressed low-key made me realize how socially available I am... > _____ > They're just too cute together... && Myeongsoo is so cute when he's jealous lol. Okay Okay. I won't spoil it for you, watch it for yourself and tell me what you think haha.. I forgot there was a second lead bc of how hard I shipped these two lol...

Err I didn't really pay much attention to the OST, so I can't give you a rating on it.

I don't normally re-watch dramas, but if I did, this would definitely make the list. Especially when I'm feeling down and need a good laugh~

First of all, let me start by saying that I didn't read the manga and I have very limited knowledge of the historical period in which this drama takes place. That being said, I really enjoyed it.

The idea is pretty interesting and original, not the fact that a person in the Heisei period is transported to the Sengoku period, but the fact that it's a Chef and his creations are going to be pivotal in Nobunaga's campaign through the country. To think that some of the most important choices and relations in history have their outcome infuenced by food is an idea that I can't help but loving. If you think it's too bizarre for you, you've been warned.

As someone who knows very little of Japanese history, this drama was easier to follow for me than Nobunaga Concerto was, because of the narrator's and Ken's (Tama's character) explanations. To people who already know all this, it may be a bit outputting but I appreciated it.

I can't help but comparing it to Nobunaga Concerto in some things because I saw them both back to back and they have similar ideas. Character wise, I found that this one was a little less attractive. The performances weren't all as convincing as I would have wanted, but they're not terrible. Storytelling wise, there are plenty of things still unclear, but since there's another season, I'm giving it a pass for now.

All in all, it's a very entretaining drama, with a nice twist on history without losing its accuracy and that isn't difficult to follow. As a side note, I recommend not watching this if you're hungry, because you're gonna end up craving food almost for sure.

This is a very fun drama and was quite enjoyable. Even though it had lower ratings in South Korea and was cut to twelve episodes, it was still a good drama. Since the drama was cut down, I believe it was actually advantageous and the story was able to move along faster. This also gave the viewer more lovey dovey scenes between Soo Jin and Myeong Soo.

There was less "let's break up and then get together then break up, but ultimately end up together" in this drama. Their love was very pure and innocent(more like a frist love type of deal). Soo Jin's character development was very interesting and it was fun seeing how she matured and progressed.

Although Soo Jin and Myeong Soo are obviously the main characters, you can't forget about the three exes and also Director Jo. The drama would not have been nearly as enjoyable without them. The cast was selected very well. Each actor fit their characters well. Plus the relationship between the characters were super fun(like Myeong Soo+Soo Jin+Director Jo, Director Jo+RaRa, etc).

The drama began a bit slow, but then began to get better and better each episode. I'd definitely suggest this for anyone who loves a light-hearted romance with comedy throughout.

God, it took me forever to finish this drama ! I started to like it from the tenth episodes...
But after that it was really good. The main characters are well-written and the story is not ordinary.

My first impressions were that the story was moving way too fast and I felt I was simply thrown into the situation at the moment without being given the context and past relationships.

Plus, there was a total overuse of dramatic music like soaring choruses.

As the show progressed, I appreciated the storytelling style of the writer, where we are thrown into the moment of the story, but we also get to understand the background and history between different characters through their eyes.

What I really liked about the story is how the characters shift and morph through the course of the show, in terms of their motivations and their allegiances. Sometimes I can feel that the writers are toying with our allegiances to the characters, but I was willingly ‘manipulated’ because it was enjoyable to see the characters choose how to play their chess pieces.

My favourite is probably the relationship between Kim Rae-won and Jo Jae Hyun’s characters. So complex, compelling and heartbreaking all at the same time. Great performance by both actors too.

Another thing that annoyed me about the show is the very unrealistic portrayal of the legal system and prosecutors. I am familiar with legal systems but not so much with the Korean legal system. Even then, I’m pretty sure this is pretty unrealistic. In any case, it’s a drama, not real life, so I’ll drop this point.

And my gripe about overuse of dramatic music remains. While there are definitely many twists and turns in the story within every episode, I became extremely desensitised to these twists and turns because every scene would use the same dramatic music.

Overall, an enjoyable thriller.

This drama was one of my fav this year. I love all the exes, each one had a different personality that made them especial.
I'll never forget The cat, fox and Lioness, them together gave us a lot of fun.
Kim soo Jin was a cute character, I just love how simple and warm she was. And of course I can't forget to talk about Directo Jo, He just appear and became my fav character in this drama, I love how smart and honest he was.
It was a shame they cut some episodes the story can be much better, but I still liked it.
This was simple, catchy and funny. I really enjoyed it.

This was a great daily drama! It started beautifully and ended beautifully! I really enjoy daily dramas like this one and others I have watched that are similar in style ;) I liked how all the characters stayed true to their nature/personalities even as they went through different things. I liked how they didn't dramatically change their character throughout the drama (like some dramas make characters do), we all have our own personality/traits/beliefs/way of doing things - and these characters stuck to that as they went through various trials and situations. It also easily transitioned from on thing to the next - it had a nice flow to it. I had read a negative comment before I started this drama and I constantly worried about it and was afraid to say it's really good b/c I thought I might say that too soon and then "oops" I jinxed it - but NO - there is NO need to worry - NO situation that arises messes anything up! So go at it safely and continue! :D Enjoy!!!

Characters: My favorites were Han Chaewon, Seo Jinu & Han Minhyeok, I loved everything about them! <3 I'd fall in love with Jinu so easily^^ and Minhyeok is a definite candidate too with his intelligent, strong and smart good looks ^^ Jinu has lots of emotional wounds ground into him from his father, he's a doctor and a really loyal son, who is sweet, compassionate, loving and smiles a lot :D Chaewon is "the happy virus" lol as her friend calls her^^ She's strong, independent and very loving, when she sets her mind to something she doesn't let it go (stubborn if you will) :P Her character never got weak or worn down, she had strong beliefs and made sure people understood that. She stands her ground well. I loved her the most! Minhyeok is Chaewon's brother and he too grows up with lots of emotional wounds but that doesn't change who he is or how he acts - I loved that no matter how someone in his family treated him, he would still be loyal to them and love them, he isn't greedy and is very well-mannered (a gentleman one might say), He doesn't trust people easily (which is actually a good thing in his profession). I felt for each of these characters, I'd cry with them and smile with them! I laughed quite a lot too - especially when it came to Jinu & Chaewon ;P

There is also Cha Kyeongju, her character feels like a victim and since she has this "victim mentality" she does things that she thinks she has a right to b/c "the world owed her", I liked her and didn't like her at the same time, I felt for her at times and wanted to kick her butt other times lol I could never fully hate her (honestly she never did anything that ticked me off that much - sure she did bad things and things you can't brush off or ignore, things she never should have done - but she did know when to back off on certain things. I even cried with her a little at the end.

The supporting characters were good and enjoyable to watch as well (I didn't skip anyone ever or any scene) I got slightly annoyed with Jingu's childish acts and his wifes constant complaining but they were amusing at time too. I never warmed up to their daughter Jina (such a crybaby >_<) I'm glad she wasn't shown too often. Jinhui was really adorable, a bit of a troublemaker, but she'd laugh all the time and her voice when she sings is So BEAUTIFUL!!! I loved her song "To My Dad" that she sings later in the series^^ The grandmas is hilarious and adorable^^ The Dad made me mad so many times with how he treats his kids -_- I wanted to speak up for his kids whenever the dad would say or do mean things to them and when he wouldn't listen to them I wanted to yell at him to shut up and LISTEN!!! His kids, even if they get hurt by him, are really filial towards him, which I found impressive!

Music: The intro song by C-Real is really cutesie (and i love cutesie intro songs to my daily dramas lol) I loved one song the most though : "Have You Listened" by Yu Seung Chan and Jangeunsuk "Reason to Live" (it was only played one time but I liked it and it really brought the emotions of the moment). There was another song that was only played a few times by RH? and it was really pretty too (but i can't find it) and Jinhui's "To My Dad" song was really beautiful^^

I will more than likely re-watch this drama at some point lol <3 and I definitely recommend it to people who love these kinds of long dramas^^

I finished this drama a week ago and I still can't stop thinking about it. Roy Chiu and Patrick Li were like tag team comics, absolutely hilarious. I agree with another reviewer, Patrick Li Literally stole the show. He is so freakin funny!!! I would like to watch him again in more romantic comedies. You can tell Patrick works out too. Behind that goofy nerdy guy, beats the heart of a rebel (watch sauna scene, hot bod with killer tats). I became a big Roy Chiu fan after watching Office Girls, and think acting wise, this was his best work. He is so freakin adorable when he smiles and his eyes light up. My favorite scene in the drama was the Monkey Underwear Scene! It kept me in stitches. This drama is a must watch. It's got a little of everything, but most of all it will make you feel good and laugh a lot! Highly Recommend! BTW, those of you who will rewatch it,, pay attention to the scene in the early episodes where Roy predicts Patrick Li will get transferred to Frozen Foods and the ending.

First things first, I had incredibly low expectations when it came to this drama and was only drawn to it because of Song Joong Ki and Moon Chae Won. Makjang is a genre that I usually avoid as it often turns out to be a horribly contrived and predictable plot device that is used to progress a thin and damp plot. However, Innocent Man makes the makjang work. Here we have a well thought-out plot (albeit unrealistic) that doesn't treat Eun Gi's amnesia as a problem that can be easily solved - the fall out is brilliant, and I love the way it affects the characters actions and subsequently the story. Some people will see it as a plot device, but the very fact that we *know* Eun Gi will end up losing her memories prevents it from being one IMO.

(Beware though, because the whole Jae Hee/Ma Ru fiasco might just drive you nuts, and the ending is ever so slightly disappointing.)

However, whilst Innocent Man appears to be an external drama - with the plot affecting the characters - at its core it's an intensely internal drama. Typical outward gestures are turned on their heads because the audience doesn't actually know if these outward gestures are sincere are not. This is especially the case with Kang Ma Ru - whose own personal struggles make it difficult for him to even realise his own sincerity. It is definitely incredibly difficult to discern whether one should be rooting for him or not which causes huge amount of internal conflict and drama. I guess that's part of the reason why Innocent Man is so good - the internal and external conflict bounce off of each other, with plot driving the characters and vice versa.

The main highlight of the drama was definitely the cast. We've got three very brilliantly written, troubled and complicated characters. A fail performance could ruin them. But that didn't happen; instead we got nuanced performances from all three actors who convincingly portrayed the highs and lows of these multi-faceted characters.

However, special mention goes to SONG JOONG KI who was absolutely - excuse my foul language - fucking fantastic as the engima that is Kang Ma Ru. His performance never faltered. Song managed to captivate Kang Ma Ru's character development in way that is just unimaginably perfect. He IS Kang Ma Ru the naive genius who is head-over-heels in love with his noona. He IS Kang Ma Ru the tortured, embittered and selfish player who'll do anything for revenge. Song doesn't even need to speak to convey the emotions or state of thought that Ma Ru is in - one can just see it if they are to look into his eyes. I can't even imagine any other actor being able to successfully play a role as complex as Kang Ma Ru (who is a genius that actually feels like a genius throughout the whole show, although that has more to do with the skill of the writer rather than the actor. But, then again, SJK is a genius himself). It's probably a career defining performance for Song Joong Ki.

Innocent Man is a polished and sophisticated drama that draws you in with its unpredicatable, fast-paced and addictive plot. The leads may messed up to the highest degrees, but they're compelling and human - the performances successfully captivate the sheer complexity of the characters, allowing the audience to believe that such people could exist in real life (no matter how unrealistic their situations are).

P.S. I watched Innocent Man in one sitting. Me, who never misses sleep, missed sleep for this and boy do I have no regrets.

I put in a lot of thoughts in my ratings, and I felt that I needed to present the analysis behind it. It might be not a popular opinion, but I'd like to provide a different view to this drama. For starters, I don't think I'm the targeted audience of this drama. For a story that is set in a war time, I found that there was too much focus on the romance and not enough focus on the setting. This made it lose any realism it could've had.

I have to say one of the strong points in the drama is that it has a solid plot, and is it fast paced. There is always something happening so I don't ever remember it being draggy, which a very important factor. Nothing can bring the drama down more than the feeling that nothing is happening and the story is going round and round. Thankfully that wasn't the case for this drama. Another point I liked was the costume, decoration, and makeup used throughout different stages of the main characters' life. I like the colours used and the different hairstyles. What was annoying was the dubbing, which would prevent me from evaluating the acting fairly, but I think in the very least, it was decent overall.

If I am to talk about characters however, that is my main issue with the drama. First of all, other than about 6-7 characters, all surounded by the main love story, and all the others were no more than extras. second of all, to put simply, most characters's way of thinking and actions did not make sense to me whatsoever, which totally disconnected my feelings for this drama. I'm saying this mainly about Pei Lin, Jing Wan and Jin Zhi. Their emotions are too reckless and volatile. Sometimes it felt more like lust and possessiveness rather than &quot;love&quot;. Even when in love, their priorities were all over the place. It was hard for me to empathize when most of the time I was rolling my eyes.

The process that Jian Zhang went through was actually interesting, but I felt they didn't go deep enough. I think his character would've been portrayed better if they had given more character to his siblings. The Doctor was my favourite but mostly because he was the voice of reason in this drama, telling the characters exactly what's on my mind. Unfortunately none actually listened to him. One character I really liked and cared for was Pei Lin's sister. Unfortunately she was casted on the side.

For all those reasons, the show overall felt uneven. There were great episodes and there were not so great ones. By the time I got to the ending, I had lost any emotion left for the characters, and did not care much for the outcome.

As for music, it was fine overall, but there was one song that was played when some characters are in agony that felt too modern and out of place.

Overall, if you love dramas all about intense love and romance, you may find exactly what you're looking for here and may find it decent to boot. If you're looking for a more realistic story, with logical characters, about somewhat fitting pracmatic leader, this may not be the drama for you as it wasn't for me.

The most important part of a drama for me is the first episode and the last episode. The first episode should be interesting enough to make you wanna watch the second episode. It determines the viewer's mood in watching the whole drama. On the other and, the ending has to be memorable enough for the viewers to remember the story story and the tittle which will make them recommend it to their friends. Luckily, This drama was able to deliver both! I was crying my heart out at 4 in the morning because of the last 4 episodes!

The cast are great. I think I can fill a bucket if I gathered all the tears that the lead female dropped LOL.

This is not a drama for everyone. If you like melo, go on. If you are ready to face an ending that is not exactly the best, go on. If you like SJS or JKH like me, go on. But if you are looking for romantic scenes, sugar, nice words, do not watch this drama. This treats a lot of things without obsessing too much over something, leaving some questions unresolved that would be too bothersome for some people to understand (that is why a lot of people drop this drama). Here's another person who watched for the two awesome male leads of this drama. I highly regret watching this, but being a fan of SJS and JKH, I had to watch because this is one of their most famous projects so far. If it weren't for them, I would have dropped this earlier, and here's why.

Story: the story is nothing new. Typical revenge/birth secret plot where everything is overturned by the end. Here things were presented in a stereotypical yet innovative way, that I often find in old kdramas. Things were told step by step and even in the end some things were left unsaid, perhaps to let the viewer imagine. The whole plot was very ambiguous. The characters had their own strong or dull way to deliver their feelings. Most of the times, especially in the latest episodes, the main leads above all were silent and didn't talk for loooooong. That, despite is a way to have dialogue, annoyed me so much. I get that silence can be meaningful, but perhaps that is not my piece of cake. I'd rather have the characters talk and conclude something than being silent for 20 minutes. Maybe I am an idiot, who knows! But I don't think so. I just believe silence was overused in here, and it can annoy so much. Wow, how many times did I say annoy in this paragraph?

Acting: This is the only high value of this review. Despite the story being blah (even tho it was handled okay), the acting was superbe. SJS is always the best when it comes to melodrama and his &amp;quot;omg, I have so much complexes inside of me&amp;quot; - face - is perfect. He made his Cha Moo Hyuk character really deep and complicated that you always wondered what was going on in his head. He made him look very unpredictable, which is cool because it gives the audience more surprises. JKH despite being only 21-22 in this drama, also did a good job. He has such a beautiful smile and he is able to show a lot of emotions through it, because you know, a smile can also be bitter and sad. All the times I have seen him, he trasmitted me joy or sadness according to what his character felt. This male pair was awesome, I regret that perhaps they didn't get enough screentime together. The female protagonists also acted well, but honestly they didn't make me become a fan of theirs. Most of the time ISJ's Eun Chae was like Moo Hyuk, she was unpredictable and it annoyed me how she behaved. I understand she loved both guys the same way, but she had to choose at some point.

Music: Okay. The instrumental songs on the piano were cool and I also like Choi Yoon's song very much.

Rewatch Value: I would rewatch this only if paid. I ended up bored and as if I lost my time watching this. I can take melodrama, makjang, thriller, but this was too much. I can't put up with the ending, I felt totally unsatisfied. It has meaning, of course, but I still find it MEH. The only drama that left me like this was What Happened in Bali, casually SJS did this in the same year of Sorry I Love You. If you have watched that one and were rolling your eyes at the ending, you may do it again with this, so don't watch!

Watching this drama did feel like a special experience. This drama isn't very conventional and it certainly isn't for everyone. The plot may appear simple, but after a while, you realize very deep thought behind it about existence and self-exploration. The premise itself isn't very usual. a character you draw comes to life and discovers &amp;quot;God&amp;quot;'s world. It might sound simple but it actually makes you realize of the little happiness in life that we take for granted.

One of the most interesting aspect for me is the setting. The manga world itself is set in cheap pub, while the setting of the humans is a small village with a small community. In many instances I wondered if that setting itself if part of someone else's work. For what we think is reality is someone else's fiction. The funny thing is, every time I wonder how things would go if this event happen, or that event happen, or when I try to interpret certain things, or think of a certain solution, the drama always tend to explore these question and give me an answer. Of course there is no definite answer, just a possibility and closure.

Another aspect is the way the characters are written. There was very careful attention given to many subtle details that define each character. On the human side there's the protagonist Echizen, who is filled with self-hatred and disappointment with the world. Her journey to self discovery and appreciation was slow, but every once in a while there was a huge step forward. Other than her there is her co-workers that each has an interesting personality. Yuriko was fun, playful and very attentive. Behind her happy-go-lucky facade there is a deep scar and regret. Kiyomi is also worth mentioning, or maybe I should call her Akuma. Always angry, she doesn't seem pleasant to be around at first, when in truth she is the most heartwarming of the human characters. She just hate it when people aren't being honest as she is, making it hard for her to open her heart. She challenges her Echizen all the time, probably seeing worth in her more than Echizen sees in herself. On the manga character side there is Nakuna of course. He's an emotional lad. Always expressing himself freely. He's extremely loyal and trusting, and as innocent as a child. I could say all his manga family has the same innocence for the same reason, but not all are this trusting. Each one of them is adorable with a distinct personality.

If I were to talk about the acting, they were perfectly casted to say the least. Most note worthy is Nagase Tomoya. That guy loves to overact, but it never bothers me because he knows which role to choose that makes overacting, if not just okay, but even demanded. Aso Kumiko was also perfect. She smiles a lot, but you can detect the forced from the genuine. Kutsuna Shiori has this gift of being a very lovely despiteful person. I'm telling you that's a gift. another noteworthy is a personal favourite of mine, Okunuki Kaoru as Yuki. She's elegant and wise, but so cute when clueless. Yasuda Ken appearing as a guest in an episode was the most touching.

Overall it was a nice, light, charming, sweet comedy with a lot of heart. The setting and light used makes it perfect watch while having an afternoon tea. It may not be for everyone's liking as some may find it boring and a bit over the top, but if you look deeply, you may find an, I'll bet well hidden, gem.
