High-speed thrills for hire in action drama Healer
by girlfriday
I don’t know how this happened, but somehow it’s already December, and KBS’s new Monday-Tuesday drama Healer is premiering in a week. New teasers continue in the same vein — secret missions and high-flying action — but this time we get a sneak peek at how our three main characters might end up entangled in each other’s lives. The newest drama from writer Song Ji-nah (Faith, Sandglass) stars Ji Chang-wook as a really expensive high-tech errand boy, who does all sorts of secret missions for the highest bidder, and is known for his sterling no-fail record.
Park Min-young is a journalist with big dreams and a job at a third-rate internet news site, and she narrates in the teaser that this errand boy, “Codename: Healer,” is legendary and his going rate is millions of won per job. The Healer’s hacker partner (played by Song Ji-nah regular Kim Mi-kyung) then alerts him that they’ve finally got a hit on that one open case — they’re looking for a girl, and they zero in on Park Min-young.
Yoo Ji-tae plays a star reporter who’s also looking for Park Min-young, because of something that happened in the past. He feels guilty for whatever it was, and sets out to help her achieve her dream to become a star reporter. But in doing so, she uncovers past events and jeopardizes the career he’s worked so hard to build. I’m interested to see where Yoo Ji-tae ultimately falls on the conscience vs. self-preservation divide, and if he’ll end up a foe.
We don’t know who hires Ji Chang-wook to track down Park Min-young, but because of that mission, he ends up embroiled in this web of intrigue surrounding her and Yoo Ji-tae. The Healer also starts to change because of her, and goes from someone whose entire life goal was to make lots of money so he could live on a deserted island, to someone who cares about this girl and goes out of his way to try and help her. I could really use a jolt of action in dramaland right now, so I hope the thrills aren’t just a tease.
Healer premieres next Monday, December 8.

I'm not sure if I really understand what the plot is going to be, but, I have to say, I kind of like having that feeling going in. I have no idea where this drama will take me and can only hope that it's someplace good :)

Still getting City Hunter vibes from this one. It looks good too. Now how about a cameo from Kim Sang Joong for old time's sake? (although he's busy in Bad Guys).

Almost didn't recognize Park Min-young with her hair short and bare makeup. A refreshing look for her.

They do it so she doesn't look too pretty and get hate from female viewers.

Different haircut but same deer-in-the-headlights surprised face. She looks cute in bangs though.

Hahaha your "deer-in-the-headlight" comment is so spot on! Reminds me of another...han-ga-in...in the sun-moon drama:)) Many Kdrama actresses never move away from this "form" of acting somehow!

I still chuckle with deer-in-the-headlights description... But I think PMY will do okay in this drama. I'm quite impressed with her last drama.

I liked her in City Hunter, but she really won me over in Sungkyunkwan Scandal. She was really cute in that one and the part fit her like a glove. I think she looks the part here too, so I'm looking forward to this one quite a lot.

Another ps done? No?
Her eyes don't really move....skin maybe too tight. Dunno.
Never really warm to her. Love Ji Chang-wook, though.

This should be right up PMY's alley after City Hunter. Looks like this thriller is in the same vein.

I like what I saw so far but i remain cautious: This channel has a track record with action dramas (IRIS2)... Kind of funny that I love the new PMY look but dig less the new 'asexualized' face of JCW.

Yay! This is the show I have been most excited about...yes, yes, City Hunter vibes for sure, but I am sure it will have its own identity.
Bring...it...on!

Surprisingly the teasers make me want to watch this more than I thought - it looks zippy and fresh and of course Ji Chang Wook looks amazing!

I am looking forward to this coz of Ji Chang Wook after seeing him in Empress Ki..although I gotta say I like him more with the long hair and sageuk aura in Empress Ki haha forgive me I still can't get over since I just finished it. Anyway I'm not really the type who watch every series of my fave actor/actress so I hope this series will somewhat keep me interested other than JCW.

First video says "not available in your country" (I'm in the US.) Lol @ "Can you confirm all the things?"... maybe the subber has been reading Hyperbole and a Half?
I really hope they don't screw this up too much~ it could be a really good ride.
I have no idea how it's-December-already happened either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The video is blocked in some countries. YouTube is very strict about copyrights.

With just the pictures, the plot and the teasers, I cannot help but ship Yoo Ji-tae as the man for Park Min-young. I am shifting mindsets toward JCW but I just can't. Yoo and Park built their chemistry as early as now.

I will definitely watch this drama. I love the 2 main actors. I agree that JCW is so awesome in Empress Ki that I'm worried if his next project would be as good as the last drama.

Park Min-Young, adorable as always, but the teasers are having a great time with that distinctive voice of hers. It has to be half an octave deeper than most Korean actresses. She learns how to use it like my Other True Love, Kim Mi-kyung, and she'll be acting forever.

My jumping up and down like a madwoman over the past few days would be an understatement. Retraining my tired old body to be awake at 4:30 AM on Mondays and Tuesdays again -- the sacrifices I make for My Precious are limitless! :D
BTW, the 'Healer' Press Conference is today (4 December) at 2:00 PM KST at the Raum Centre! CAN'T WAIT!!!! *squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*
