The acting was top notch. Ji Change Wook, Park Min Young, and Yoo Ji Tae were daebak as Seo Jang Hoo, Chae Yeong Shin, Kim Moon Ho respectively. There is so much I can say about their chemistry and acting abilities, but I'm going to concentrate on the supporting cast. I have always liked veteran actress Kim Mi Kyung. She killed it as hacker extraordinaire, Jo Min Ja. I loved her quirky character. Also, Jeong Gyoo Soo was scary and creepy as Kim Moon Shik's assistant. That hand covered smirk made me want to beat the crap out of him myself. For such a minor role, he made me hate him the most. All of the actors are good.
The music is really good. I have a lot of it on my play list already.
I will probably rewatch this at some point.
I highly recommend this drama.

(Watched this without any particular interest in Jerry or Ella.)The series starts alright from episodes 2-8. Chapters 9-12 drag and are all about ML and ex-girlfriend, plus FL and the interior designer-- I found them boring, skipped a lot and watched a 2x speed just to get the gist.
The last 4 chapters when the romance between the lead characters takes off… these episodes are precious and make DWL one of the best rom-com series. Long and lingering scenes, and several chapters that are touching, sweet and funny. Very few series manage to deliver this. I welcome suggestions to other rom-coms that can accomplish 2-4 consecutive chapters of fun, moving sweetness. Most only deliver a few scenes here and there, and/or end the show when the complication-free romance is finally happening between the protagonists. If you have the patience to endure, fast forward or skip the predictable beginning-- the main couple's story is worth it.

I had no idea who Shi Won was before this show. Having watched too many rom-coms, I found the main leads story well written and well paced. One can easily skip the side story of the producer and dance instructor. The SFL is not poisonous and one can skip her scenes too. The first chapter is blah-- however, the story becomes better and better as chapters fly by. Approximately towards the last third of the series (chapters 11 and especially 12), when the ML instinctively starts protecting the FL-- these chapters are touching and sweet. Not all dramas manage to accomplish this when attempted. I wish the ending and romance between the protagonists had been stretched more. Esta resenha foi útil para você?
If you thought it’s impossible to find a drama that maintains good balance between action, romance and character-driven plot without giving into incoherence or common story elements and clichés, then watch this. If you already thought it’s possible, still watch it.
THE STORY
When I started watching Healer, I wasn’t that into it. I wish I could remember what it was that wasn’t getting to me back then, because right now all I can think of is how awesome the drama is! Objectively speaking, even if I put that initial feeling aside, Healer is not a perfect show. There are things that, without seeming wholly incoherent, don’t make a lot of sense; there are some windows that never really get closed or ends that don’t precisely get tied by episode 20. But it’s a drama that is superior from others because it breaks clichés and it’s character-driven. Not only do the main leads and the villain have depth, but even flashback characters have their own individuality, which makes these scenes come to life. The women are all strong, smart and capable; the story managed to avoid falling in all clichéd abysses we see again and again in dramas, and the primary couple is not only adorable, coherent and real (skinship is real too, and plentiful!), it also puts to shame other Kdramaland OTPs in which doubt, distrust and misunderstandings always get the best of the pair.
THE ACTING
I love Ji Chang Wook, okay. I really do. I always follow all his projects. But he never gave me the feeling of being an amazing actor. I think that it’s because he always seems to be playing the same role, with only slight nuances. Anyway, he was dashing as usual in here, and chemistry was bursting out between him and Park Min Young. She was great, I think I liked her more than usual in here (possibly because her character was the best she’s had). But for me, the best acting in Healer definitely came from the older cast. Do Ji Won, Yoo Ji Tae and Park Sang Won were awesome, and my favorite ajumma actress, Kim Mi Kyung, as well.
THE MUSIC
It was great. Well, it must have been great. Frankly, I can’t remember most songs, not even Chang Wook’s. I was too infatuated by Ben’s You. Was on my mp3 since episode 1. Most catchy OST I’ve heard in a while!
REWATCH VALUE
Well, the show just ended yesterday, but guess what I’m thinking of watching tonight?

i gotta say this drama is one of the best drama in 2015.
i watched it the first ep for the first time and i dropped it (oops my mistake's only watched the first 15min, so i hope you guys learn from my mistake).
but thanks to healer's fans i rewatch these series, and i'm glad i didn't miss this wonderful drama.
i've never been a fan of action or spy drama, but this one made me addicted.
Story :
the whole story was packed beautifully from beginning til ep19, the only pity was the ending...
of course i'm satisfied with all happy ending, but in my opinion it's kinda bit rushed.
i have some questions in my head after watching the ending.
well that's the only reason i give 9.5 for the story.
Acting / cast :
cast is one of the reason this drama hits daebak.
i'm super proud with all these cast, their acting were superb. I've been a fan of JCW since five fingers. Not only hot, he's also one of a great actor, so it's pretty sad he wasn't popular (back then in five fingers), but i'm happy now he gain some recognition. YJT never fails me with his smiles and charming face which fits with his role in this drama. For PMY, i wasn't sure about her before, didn't hate her yet didn't love her either. After finished this drama, i find her quite good. thought she may play the same character as in city hunter. guess i was wrong.
The other thing which surprised me is they don't cast any IDOL.. not idols hater but... sometimes i hate PDs for picking not talented (in acting) idols instead of actors. In this drama i found many new faces that are great in this field. Such as young Moon Shik (i adore him), Oh Gil Han, Seo Joon Seok, they really did great job.
Music :
One of the best drama with great OSTs. my favourite is Tei's What my eyes say. This doesn't mean i don't like the others, i love the other songs. Guess for few days Michael learns to Rock's Eternal Love will stuck in my head.
The songs really fit with the scenes. amazing job for staffs.
Overall :
Amazing series, i'm sad it's over, hope there'll be healer2 xD.
I definitely recommend you all who haven't watched to watch this drama. This drama really worth your 20 hrs.

The plot of Healer itself was not that original. However, from watching many dramas we've probably all learned that there's not always a need to reinvent the wheel in order to make an exciting drama. What made Healer such a refreshing watch for me is that things weren't dragged out needlessly. The drama had a slow but steady pace, with pieces of the mysterious past being revealed just at the right time. Add to that characters with consistent development who don't suddenly lose the ability to count 1+1 together and don't go around misunderstanding everyone and everything and you get a drama that doesn't leave you feeling frustrated.
I'll admit freely that I had my doubts when Park Min Young was announced as the female lead, but I take all of that back, because she really proved me wrong. I loved her take on Young Shin and think she really grew into the role. Ji Chang Wook stole most people's hearts with good reason; I'm honestly impressed how much he has improved over the years. Yoo Ji Tae was amazing as Moon Ho, despite not getting as much of the spotlight. He nailed his character from the first episode on, you could just see that he was hiding so many emotions beneath the surface even if we as the viewers had no idea yet what his character was really thinking.
Going into the drama I actually didn't expect to care about the romance part that much, but I totally fell in love with this couple. Their moments together were cute, often touching and never felt to me like pure fanservice. Every kiss or other gestures showcased so well what the characters were feeling in that moment and I don't think I've ever watched a drama before where simply holding hands made me feel that much.
Now one (small) complaint to balance out all of my praise for Healer: The ending should have been 5 to 10 minutes longer to wrap things up properly. Only the most important points were explained, but I would have appreciated more details on that and getting to know what exactly happened to all of the awesome supporting characters.
All in all, watching Healer was an exciting ride that had me sitting in front of my computer as soon as the next episode was uploaded and made me wait impatiently for the next Monday to come around. I can't explain just what exactly it was, but all of its parts just fit so well together that it turned out to be an unforgettable drama for me!

The entire cast was daebak! We've got Healer/Bong Soo/Jeong Hoo who works as a night currier who takes on any job that pays well as long as it's not killing someone - a man who is tender, and can fight for his woman now that's what I'd call a HERO <3 This song by Bonnie Tyler fit's JCW's character to a T & PYM's need for him {*Where have all the good men gone..where's the street-wise hercules to fight the rising odds. Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?...I need a hero! I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night. He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be fresh from the fight. I need a hero!...Someone just beyond my reach is someone reaching back for me...It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet! I need a hero!...I swear there is someone somewhere watching me...I can feel his approach...I need a hero!*} Chae Yeong Shin is one of my favorite female leads in dramaland so far! I loved her attitude and personality - it was awesome! She was strong, brave, funny & down to earth - The best character that Park Min Young has played so far! She was a small time reporter who had big dreams & when she meets Healer her life takes a path she never expected^^ ~It's a beautiful feeling~ <3 Kim Moon Ho a big time honest reporter and my second favorite male character on this drama <3 I'll be "stalking" him from now on^^ He is someone who really is at odds with his older brother & is determined to bring the truth to light. and then there is the ever so precious Ahjuma <3 I loved her to pieces! She was so frumpy, grumpy, silly and professional all at the same time - she's a character I won't ever forget <3 I even loved it when she'd occasionally throw a small temper fit in her room keke^^ & her random singing was goofy :P Everyone else did great in the roles they portrayed too ;) Myung Hee, Moon Sik & Yeong Jae 'Teacher' (I'd laugh whenever he'd smile while dissing someone) & Chae Yeong Shin's dad & the ahjussi that worked at the café were hilarious! :P
Music/OST: PERFECT - I was SO SO SO happy when I heard Michael Learns to Rock (MLTR) as the OST!!! I absolutely adore their music <3 Favorite song by them of course is 'Eternal Love' <3 Then the song by Ben 'You' & Ji Chang Wook's song 'I Will Protect You' <3 <those were my top 3 favorites but I also enjoyed Tei's song 'What My Eyes Say' - The OST is just so good on this drama!
Re-watch Value: No joke, I will be re-watching this drama VERY soon! ~oh my love, I'm all yours~ <3

Ok, let's go now: Healer is the best drama I have watched in my two years of watching dramas. I am absolutely speechless, actually I have so much to say and I don't know where should I begin. I'm not biased or something like that because I started this drama out of pure curiosity, I didn't even know JCW and YJT existed(shame on me, stupid girl) and I wasn't fond of PMY's acting. However, the three of them did such a good job portraying their characters and overwhelmed me completely. JCW became my first favorite actor because his acting is simply brilliant, I've never seen a Korean actor before him who's able to portray emotions so perfectly, switching constantly (He played Healer and geek Park Bong Soo). His eyes are expressing every single one of his feelings, I just focus on his eyes and I can read his mind, just perfect. PMY also surprised me (like I said she didn't make impact on me with her acting before) but she was so amazing here, her character Chae Yong Shin suited her so well that it is unbelievable, her chemistry with JCW is something you can't see every day, they are the best couple I've seen in dramas, maybe even in shows generally. That love in Healer was portrayed so beautifully, so intense, so perfect!! Every their interaction made my heart skip a beat, they don't even have to touch, their looking at each other tells you everything! And when they touch I feel like going insane, I've never felt that way before watching some couple in a drama. but this couple is something else. Also, other actors like Do Ji Won who played CYS's mum Myung Hee, Park Sang Won as Kim Moon Shik etc did an awesome job too! Every single character in this drama was portrayed so good, even the ''bad ones'' like Kim Moon Shik and his secretary were interesting to watch because they are not the usual drama-like bad characters who ruin everything, they had their own characteristics which they are known for like every human being, so they were also intriguing. Everything in this drama was done so perfectly I can't even explain it here properly, even If I used so many words.. Plot done by a perfect writer Song Ji Na, acting, OST.. If you haven't seen this drama believe me and start right now, you won't regret it, you'll actually be thankful to God and me, and other people who recommend it. :)

First of all.. it was sooo hard to wait, because i wanted to watch episode 19 when the ep 20 was out.
This was one of the first dramas that i watched with only a few breaks. It was always so thrilling and exciting. There was never a moment when i thought,"screw it i'm gonna make a break and watch another time" in the middle of the series (because i watch at viki it remembers the scene where you stopped if you didn't knew^^). I was always surprised that the episode was already over , because i was so stucked in the story.
This was one of the best dramas i have ever watched, because it was so .. i don't know how to describe it... but it was different. It didn't have a annoying second lead, because i didn't count Moon Ho as a potential love rival. Also it didn't have many drama clichees like piggyback rides or something. It wasn't really cheesy, neither was it overly sad or something. It was full of action scenes, which i really enjoyed.
When i thought "no you don't..." or "don't go that way...", it managed to surprise me. And I'm really glad that it didn't have the terrible ending like city hunter that I thought it would have.
The soundtrack of Healer was awesome. I enjoyed every song that was in it. But my two favourites where probably "I will protect you" sung by Ji Chang Wook himself and "Because of you" by Just.
This will possibly be one of my top 3 dramas of all time. And i would really really recommend it to those , who haven't watched or consider to watch it.

*wipes tears away, tries to breathe*I cannot, for the life of me remember the last drama that made me feel so many emotions! This drama was PERFECT. I had purposely started the drama a few days before episode 16 was aired, hoping that id definitely not catch up....but i managed to watch re-watch it all before episode 19 aired T_T the waiting was ever so painful! I'm glad I didnt watch this the day that episode 1 aired, I probably would have lost it by now.
The drama has kept me on the edge of my seat from the very beginning, literal nail-biting plot lines and twist and turns that I couldnt predict! With comedic parts, fluffy romance, amazing action sequences and a tragic but fulfilling storyline. In the sense that everything came together really nicely, the script was well written, there were no stupid plot lines or misunderstandings between the leads and the other characters which you mightve expected due to our experiences of other kdramas that were dragged out with repeated flashbacks. Instead the Misunderstandings were cleared up well and quickly, therefore the storyline was able to move in a steady pace without dragging anything out unneccesarily.
The fluff, romance and chemistry between the leads was amazing and FELT SO REAL. i couldnt help replaying their scenes as it made me teary eyed and excited to see them together each time! Their chemistry is great, you really feel the love and trust Chae Jin has for Healer and the non-stop full on love he has for her..ahhh it's all just so great. Also the love and relationships you see between all the characters is great, the family interactions, the friendships..just ahhh. i cant put it all into words!
I'm really happy to see that Park Min Young's acting has greatly improved in Healer compared to her previous dramas, and I loved that she took on a different role, one that we hadnt seen her as before.
Ji Chang Wook was, as per usual adorable and so fitting for Healer! I'm so glad he was casted as Healer as I can't honestly imagine anyone else who would fit the job better! I ship these two so HAARRDDD and yes, how i wish they are a real couple too because their characters love felt so real i wonder if there was ever an inkling of realness between them ;)
I loved that there wasn't any boring characters, they were all so unique and you loved each and everyone of them for the way they were...even the villains ;) you'll see what i mean when you see how the good ones annoy the hell out of the villains, if anything thats where some of the comedic moments come in ;)
I think that as with all dramas, don't give up on this on the first episode. It's not exactly slow but you're just getting the feel of the storyline and characters then so watch the full episode and the preview and you will be hooked! Words cannot describe how addicting this drama is! and honestly I'm not sure what to do with myself now...! or what to watch as NOTHING COMPARES. I dont think i'll be anywhere near as obsessed and nothing will live upto it...making me lose interests in the other dramas out there T_T
The OST is so fitting to everything, I liked how they had full english songs and of course Ji Chang Wook released a single too for it! The lyrics in the songs are fitting and no doubt this will be on repeat for me! Even the instrumentals are beautiful, they bring back so many memories!! ahhhh I cant believe its all over!
For me the drama was just flawless, it may be compared to being like the 'superman' storyline but its much much better..!! ahh i cant believe this has finished!!
I would definitely rewatch this, I technically already have whilst waiting for the final 2 episodes to come out...! And even the second time round it was still exciting, even missed the tiny bits every now and then. but watching it the second time felt no different to the first, even though i knew what was going to happen...!
(I rated story as 9.5 as although it was perfect, there were a couple of things I didnt think i got answers to, didnt affect the overall story, shan't spoil it here, I put it in the normal comments section in a spoiler comment if anyone has any ideas!)

Not once did I feel that there were parts that it was lagging and I felt each episode helped to push the story along. The action scenes were cool, but the show wasn't just fight scenes, there were cute scenes that had me giggling and cheering for my OTP, as well as funny scenes that helped to lighten the mood.
The choice in actors/actresses was perfect. The couple had amazing chemistry and they were so great together. Ji Chang Wook now has a new fan because of this and Park Min Young was a total cutie.
I loved the soundtrack! There was one song that they played whenever the couple was having a sweet moment (watch it and you will know what song) and because of it I now associate sweet romance with this song.
Rewatch it? Um, of course! I will totally rewatch this.
Overall, this is now my favorite drama. After the ending of each episode I just wanted more. It perfectly mixed action and suspense with cuteness and romance. It had everything that I loved and I am so glad I gave it a shot.

- The Story was a crescendo, it continues to getting better and better. I love all... this scripter was amazing. No stupid misunderstandings in the couple! She accepted all of him, and he loved her so much... They're my absolute OTP of all time.
- Acting/Cast: I loved all the cast.... the good and the bad ones. She was amazing, and He was so damn cute.
- Music... really sweet and cute, I really love Ji Chang Wook's OST.
I'll rewatch this so much times!!

The story's biggest weakness is its characters. Characters make or break a story, and Kim Joo Won just isn't as romantic as he is made out to be. Repeatedly seeking out a girl that has made it clear that there is no mutual interest isn't the way to go. Invading personal space and not laying off her when she is obviously extremely uncomfortable isn't the way to go, either. I do dig his sparkly tracksuit, though. Not only aesthetically, but as a recurring gag. I'm not saying that all characters are 100% trash, because that's not it. There are several good characters, like Ah Young, Han Tae Sung and Oska, to name a few. The acting and the cast, on the other hand, is great. No complaints. Hyun Bin especially did a great job with the body swapping, and Ha Ji Won's emotional performance was up there, but there's only so much you can do with shallow characters.
The story did drag on for half an eternity during the middle episodes 8-12. I would have dropped it if it had dragged on for one more episode. After that, the pace is quickly picked up again and sustained throughout the rest of the series, though. So be warned. There are a few snooze-episodes that are about as fun as watching paint dry. Or something.
The comedy during the body swapping is great. There are several scenes that had me laughing out loud.
The music wasn't anything special. It wasn't bad, it definitively wasn't, it just wasn't great either. It did its job well, and that's what's important. I just won't add it to my iPod, is all.
I personally won't watch it again, because I suspect I might become so frustrated that I'll do something I regret, like eating 15 tangerines, again. I shall avoid that if possible. But if I were stranded on a deserted island, or snowed in or something, and could watch only this to pass the time, of course I would. Just not as a first choice. And who knows, maybe it would enchant me on a second go? Like Kim Joo Won? I won't take the risk.
Did I just completely waste 20+ hours? No. I'd say this drama is worth a watch, even if it's just to be able to say you've seen it.
Final score: 6.5 / 10
