Reporters and buried secrets drive action thriller Healer

I’m still trying to figure out how all the pieces of KBS’s Healer fit together, but on the upside at least all of the parts seem interesting. It sounds part action movie, part suspense thriller, part mystery, and part spy caper; the last teaser video put me in mind of City Hunter, but since I loved that drama, it’s not a bad association in my book.

The drama began filming last month but has only just recently started releasing stills, which we see here featuring the three leads. Ji Chang-wook plays the titular Healer, a code name for whatever top-secret activities he’s engaging in on top of the “errand boy” role he’s described as, and thus all the black leather and cutting-edge techie tools. Yoo Ji-tae is the star reporter who holds secret information about something that happened in 1992 and links together the past with the present generation.

Park Min-young is a reporter from a B-list internet news site who wants to be a serious journalist and also happens to have a connection to that past event. For some reason, Yoo Ji-tae feels a sense of responsibility toward her in relation to it, and to assuage that guilty conscience he decides to help her succeed as a famous reporter.

The drama is set in the world of media and journalism, with a pirate radio broadcast from 1992 linking the story together and our characters in the present day being primarily media-related, from the lowest tier to the upper elite. I’m speculating here, but since we know that the Healer is a highly skilled techie guy who works closely with a hacker, I’m hoping to see him shake up the establishment in an exciting way.

Lest that sound too heavy for you, Healer is described as a fun and energetic action romance, which, if the show can deliver, sounds like just my bag. It premieres on Monday, December 8.

Sadly, I agree with you. She is very limited.

Doesn't Healer's title remind you of "The Doctor's Son"? Too thrillers with names ironically associated with the antithesis of violence.

Made me think of the Taiwanese drama Channel X. I like the City Hunter connotation too. Looking forward to it

If Ji Chang-wook didn't drop out of Mr. Back, I think he'd have looked fantastic with Jang Nara. I'm only saying this since both the female leads in Healer and Mr. Back are obvious candies and PMY's version of candy is seriously bad.

This does look mighty promising on paper though. And the City Hunter similarities can't be a bad thing.

That's true... He would've looked fantastic with JNR, but the drama may not do as well ratings wise. I don't know.

He was cast to play the grandpa role? Ow I am glad he didn't get it because SHK is powerful! :d
Chang-Wook is on the other hand prefect for this show, and I think he and PMY would make a great couple...

I'll give this drama a shot because it has been ages since I have seen Yoo Ji Tae in a drama. Downside is PMY.

Yeah I love Yoo Ji Tae and I'm really amped up to see this drama just for him, it does look like it's going to be a thrilling drama if done in a right way.

Don't worry folks, in case it reminds you to Pinocchio because of similar setting in journalism world, I can say the show is totally different from Pinocchio. It will include lots of action, maybe thriller and obviously romance but not between unrelated uncle-niece. :)
Btw PMY is not that bad... See City Hunter and A New Leaf. She can play decent female lead characters too.

Healer fighting!!

I'm intrigued by this drama, it's plot seems interesting and not something I would normally go for but I think I'm going to give it a shot especially as I'll need something once liar game finishes.

PMY was in skk scandal, in city hunter, a new leaf, some not that good dramas, but almost all the time she's an awesome leading lady. And I believe she'll be fantastic here too. Stop the hate, people. Let's love our girls
