Healer: Episode 18

Strap yourselves in, folks, it’s a roller coaster of an episode, running the entire emotional gamut—there’s plenty of cuteness and laughs, but with only one more week left, we can’t rest too assured in momentary comforts. We’re never far from the undercurrent of unease that runs throughout, reminding us that there’s just enough time for one more big fight. And that’s sure to be a doozy.

EPISODE 18 RECAP

Backing up a bit, we see how the tape made its way to Moon-ho’s broadcast, rather than into the Elder’s hand. Aha, so it was Dae-yong who got to the charnel vault first, and she finds a box tucked in the back containing the real tape. She swaps it for a decoy, then takes it to Moon-ho directly.

Moon-ho listens right away, then calls Jung-hoo to inform him of its contents. As they’d known, Seo Joon-seok wasn’t guilty, but moreover, he wasn’t even initially a suspect. He’d gone to the police to report Gil-han’s murder, with photos as proof. Thus the tape isn’t a suspect statement but a witness statement.

Jung-hoo has to pull over the car to process the good news, and he and Young-shin smile at each other.

Moon-ho thinks the tape is enough to take to broadcast, and tells Jung-hoo to come back. Jung-hoo asks Young-shin what she thinks, and she’s of the same mind as him: They’ll see through the original plan.

So now we resume with Jung-hoo capturing the Elder’s face on camera for all the nation to see. A bodyguard blocks the Elder from view, but Jung-hoo jumps into reporter mode (with some of Bong-soo’s demeanor) and starts asking a question. It goes ignored as the Elder leaves the room.

Jung-hoo has a few seconds of broadcast time before the guards close in on him, and calls out, “These people must work for the Elder! I’ll ask you a question! Surely you wouldn’t use violence and beat the reporter who came to interview the Elder during a live broadcast?”

His glasses and wallet are confiscated, and then the Elder returns to the room. Upon confirmation that this guy is a reporter named Park Bong-soo, he asks, “Didn’t you say you were the Healer?”

Jung-hoo laugh-stutters, “I-if I said that, ha ha, I was told you’d meet with me.” Gah, I am so glad Bong-soo is not real, because he would not be long for this world. The Elder says he’d talk if Bong-soo were the Healer, but if not… Jung-hoo guesses, “You’d k-kill me? But I don’t wanna die.”

He asks if “Grandpa” really is the Elder, and the Elder replies that he didn’t need to broadcast his face in order to ask that. But Jung-hoo counters that Gramps kills people who bother him, and he couldn’t have that—this is their way of posting a “Beware of dog” type warning sign.

The Elder crouches to meet Jung-hoo’s eye level and calls him child, asking who he is. Jung-hoo replies that there’s a man named Seo Joon-seok among the people Grandpa’s killed: “I am his son, Seo Jung-hoo. Grandpa, when you kill people in the future, you ought to think of their sons or daughters.”

Outside the house, Young-shin waits impatiently with a camera, trying to urge the police officers with her to intervene. But the police can’t do anything without proper authorization, so Young-shin just starts filming right there. There’s not much to see, but it’s enough to show police officers stationed outside the Elder’s house, and Moon-ho turns over the broadcast to show the scene. Within moments of it airing, the guards restraining Jung-hoo inside back off.

The Elder invites Jung-hoo to sit, offering Jung-hoo a drink that gets refused, and lighting an incense stick like this is some kind of polite visit. Jung-hoo has dropped the wimpy act and faces the old man defiantly, sneering at the Elder’s description of his side as “working to save people.”

The Elder explains that there’s the “us” who protect people, and the “them” who receive their protection: “Young man, which side do you want to be on?”

Jung-hoo is unimpressed with the Elder’s talk, but… wait, why are you fading and your senses dulling? Gah, it’s the incense, isn’t it? The Elder starts to blur in his eyes as the old man says he quite likes Jung-hoo but won’t wait long for his decision.

Jung-hoo tries to clear his head through the smoke, and then sees the stick and puts it out. Oh thank goodness. But the drugs have done their trick and he falls over, unconscious. The Elder leaves him in slumped in the room.

Back to Seo Joon-seok’s witness statement, which we see in flashback. Joon-seok sits dully in front of the detectives, emotionally traumatized from Gil-han’s death, and explains that “they” call themselves Farmers. As a trio, he and Gil-han and Moon-shik had been chasing the story for the past year when they received information about a planned truck shipment, which they took to mean slush fund movement.

Joon-seok describes the “farming” that this group does: They view the country as their field for the plowing, sowing money around to reap all sorts of benefits—political, legal, financial.

Young-shin finally gets tired of waiting and bursts onto the Elder’s property. She finds Jung-hoo starting to stir, trying to shake off his drug-induced stupor. She asks worriedly, “Why are you always sleeping when I see you?” He replies, “You always wake me.” Pause to aww.

She offers to take him to the hospital, but he asks to sleep a bit, resting against her shoulder and holding her arm. He asks, “Our fathers were very close, weren’t they?” Since he didn’t get to see the broadcast, Young-shin says that their fathers were loyal to the end, and recounts the events that we see in flashback.

1992. Moon-shik drives the car as the three friends follow the truck in question, and the mood is lighthearted with bickering and laughs. They think the task will be a simple matter of snapping a few photos showing the money handoff.

Upon arrival, it becomes evident that the situation is more serious than they’d anticipated. One truck contains large metal paint canisters, and another is filled with apple boxes containing massive sums of cash.

Gil-han wants to see inside the paint canisters, while Joon-seok holds him back. Gil-han just quips, “What are they going to do, kill me? A reporter?” But they accidentally knock over a bin that alerts the others to their presence, and Gil-han offers to divert them while Joon-seok gets to the paint cans. Before his friend can protest, he runs off and is quickly followed.

Joon-seok grabs a canister and runs back to the car, where he alerts Moon-shik to the danger. He tells Moon-shik to prepare for getaway, then heads back to get his friend.

When Joon-seok makes it back, Gil-han is already prone on the ground, his head bloody. Moon-shik arrives just in time to grab him back from going after the Farmer guys, but Joon-seok wells up in righteous fury. He starts snapping photos openly, and Moon-shik forcibly drags him back to the car.

The car escapes, and Joon-seok explains in his statement that he was on the run for days, and eventually found out what was in the paint cans. He explains that it was chemicals used in construction projects to weaken steel, and as soon as he reveals this, men in suits burst in to stop the proceedings.

Young-shin wraps up the story, and Jung-hoo sighs, “It’s over. The homework. For Teacher, Father, and you.” He’s free to leave the Healer behind, and Young-shin praises him for a job well done, Jung-hoo rests his head in her lap (…but… the Elder’s house…) and asks, “Living like other people—is it hard?”

“Let’s try it, living like other people,” she says. He asks, “You’ll be with me, right?” And she replies, “Of course.” He sighs that that’s enough, and closes his eyes to sleep some more, taking her hand in his.

Myung-hee prepares a nice dinner for her and Moon-shik, and her outwardly pleasant attitude puts him in a good mood. It seems she’s watching for his reaction as she tells him of watching Moon-ho’s broadcast and asks about what he didn’t tell her. He answers that he hadn’t been holding back from her, admitting that he’d suspected Joon-seok all these years, and the broadcast has allowed him peace of mind knowing that wasn’t true.

Myung-hee doesn’t like that answer (well, it is a blatant lie), and I wonder if she’d been hoping he’d respond differently. She keeps her pleasant face on, but looks meaningfully over at Ji-an’s birthday spread nearby. I do hope her suspicion extends to that story too.

Moon-shik retires to his study after dinner, and his mind flashes back to his first encounter with the Elder. And now we see what happens next: Moon-shik accepts that deal, and gives a witness statement to the police that he saw Joon-seok killing Gil-han. Interestingly, the first statement is given while he’s bloody, terrified, and shaking. The second time, Moon-shik is resigned and dead-eyed.

But by the third time, he’s crisp and alert, confident in his lies as he says that the money triggered Joon-seok’s greed. When Gil-han refused to keep it, Joon-seok killed him.

In the present day, the memory doesn’t even stir a pang of regret as he sits there, idly eating Ji-an’s birthday cookies, soul unruffled. Or maybe absent.

In contrast, over at the cafe, Young-shin and her father eye that cookie with reverent anticipation, both bummed to see that it broke in transit. Young-shin feeds Dad the first bite, and they marvel at the taste. Then Dad asks when she’s bringing “that guy” over, and she initially feigns ignorance (“Which guy? I kinda have a lot of guys”).

Dad tells her to drag him over, then sighs that of all the men, she had to pick one so weak and frail, always ready to cry at the drop of a hat. She dies laughing.

When she gets to her room, she’s startled to find Jung-hoo already here, having climbed in through the window and all ready for his hugs. She pushes him back to arm’s length and lays down a few ground rules about how to live like other people, which includes using front doors. And meeting her father to get his permission to date, which makes him grimace. Also, on his girlfriend’s birthday, he should give her a gift.

She holds out her hands expectantly, and Jung-hoo fumbles to come up with something. He gives her the necklace from around his neck, and she points out that it would be nice to get gifts that are new and wrapped. He tries to make it better by pointing out that his necklace has a tracker in it, but that just sounds worse, lol.

Young-shin lets him fasten it around her neck, and he asks, “Can I hug you now?” He grabs her in a hug without waiting, and she kicks him. HA.

He looks hurt as he asks why she keeps pushing him away, and she reminds him that he wanted to live, and love, like other people. He asks what this is, and she says, “This is… a little different from other people.”

Jung-hoo decides he can do things in the proper order, and tells her to wait. She agrees, telling him not to take too long. He notes the key points—father, salary—and she heads to the door to show him how to use it properly, only to turn around to see that he’s already left via window. Siiiigh.

Adorably, Jung-hoo then barrels in through the cafe doors, psyching himself up to get this over with. But the longer Dad stares at him blankly, the more his nerves falter and Jung-hoo mutters to himself that he can’t do it. He stammers to Dad that he’ll come back next time, and I love that he’s really not too far off from wimpy Bong-sookie after all.

Pickpocket Ajusshi enters just then, blocking Jung-hoo’s exit, and Dad slowly wraps his hand in an apron like he’s getting ready to inflict some pain. Jung-hoo says nervously that he’s here to give his proper greeting and get permission.

Young-shin hears noise and hurries downstairs, where she finds Jung-hoo in the study with Dad and ajusshi. Jung-hoo sends her pathetic pleading looks while Dad warns her to stay out of this.

Dad starts with the cafe kiss a few days ago, and just thinking of it spurs violent impulses. Ajusshi intervenes: information first, then kill. Ajusshi takes over the interrogation and asks how far they’ve gone, and thankfully Dad shoves him aside because I’m not sure that’s an answer they want to hear.

Dad asks if that soup was any good, and Jung-hoo answers that it was delicious. You’ll recall that Young-shin had called Dad for recipe instructions from Jung-hoo’s pad, and now Dad knows that Jung-hoo was the friend needing nursing all night long. Ajusshi has to hold him back while Jung-hoo darts around the room trying to avoid a beating while blurting, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

Making this even better is the fact that while sounds of destruction come from the office, Young-shin listens from outside eating ice cream. As you do.

The mood takes a darker turn, however, when later that night Secretary Oh makes his way inside Moon-ho’s apartment. This can’t be good.

At the paper, Editor Jang alerts Moon-ho to postings on the Someday message board that offer information from witnesses who’ve met the Elder. It’s unclear whether these tips are legit, but Moon-ho instructs his staff to look into them, and they’ll follow up on anything that sounds promising. Editor Jang points out that they’ll be understaffed, which is Moon-ho’s cue to introduce their new employee: Jung-hoo, or rather, Bong-soo, who is heartily welcomed.

While the team congratulates him for his intrepid undercover work, Young-shin tells Moon-ho about Jung-hoo wanting to live like a regular person, which Moon-ho notes isn’t the easiest thing. Young-shin quips, “I think living like other people means not knowing what you’re doing. What’s so great about that?” She adds that Jung-hoo’s done being the Healer, laughing that she thinks he got fired. Yay for ajumma.

Moon-ho informs her that Myung-hee asked for an excuse to meet Young-shin again. As they talk cozily, Jung-hoo shoots Moon-ho the side-eye and steps right between them, just like old times. Aw, jealous Bong-sookie.

Young-shin starts to narrate an explanation about a friend reentering mainstream society, and we see Jung-hoo adapting to civilian life. He struggles to remain awake all day at work, which she compares to being a wildcat—awake for the hunt, sleeping otherwise.

When his first paycheck comes in, Jung-hoo calls in to ajumma to ask how much it was, shocked at the paltry sum (“But… I worked a whole month!”). He even wonders if he should pick up some side jobs, but ajumma reminds him that he quit being the Healer and wants her earset back. Then she screams at her screen—not at Jung-hoo, but at the hapless newbie who can’t do a simple task right. Ha, is she training the new Healer?

It’s Dae-yong, who’s in plain view of all the car black boxes around her. Dae-yong complains that there’s no street in Seoul without parked cars, and ajumma barks, “That’s why your hyungnim flew around on rooftops!”

Young-shin’s voiceover comes from her conversation with Myung-hee, and she laughingly describes how this guy is a teeny bit older but acts thirteen, which is why she has to look after him. Myung-hee guesses that she likes him, then leans right in to brush a crumb from Young-shin’s face and touch up her makeup, their rapport already comfortable.

The day arrives for Moon-shik’s live broadcast interview, and at the last minute, Moon-ho receives the alarming news that Moon-shik arrived at the station and announced that he’d be deviating from the script. This is equally disruptive to both the broadcaster and Someday, but it’s worse for Someday, who’ve lost their opportunity to counter Moon-shik’s interview replies in real time.

At the station, Moon-shik just tells Min-jae, who’s interviewing him, to ask whatever she wants. The Someday team gathers to watch, and Moon-shik starts by deftly fielding questions about whether he’s able to manage Seoul when he can’t even manage his brotherly relationship.

Moon-shik speaks openly of Moon-ho’s current activities opposing him, but invokes his own reporter past. He identifies himself as a member of the pirate broadcasts that have garnered Moon-ho so much popularity these days and even pulls out that photo to show on air.

Calling himself a journalist who once fought for the freedom of media, he says that he has to take his brother’s activities in stride—because that’s what he fought for. God, that’s infuriating. Moon-ho watches with a sour expression, and is forced to cancel their planned broadcast, given the direction of Moon-shik’s interview.

Myung-hee’s reaction is similar, full of impotent anger, and Young-shin takes her hand as they listen to Moon-shik talking about how the press frankly has too much freedom these days, and in order for that to happen, those in power have had to sacrifice a lot. Oh, boo-hoo for the rich and powerful.

Then he takes out the old suitcase full of cassette tapes belonging to Moon-ho—so that’s what Secretary Oh was doing lurking in his apartment. Jung-hoo has to jump in to keep Moon-ho from physically assaulting his television as Moon-shik proudly shows off the tapes and the old Healer zine as treasured memories. His smugness is maddening.

Myung-hee watches bitterly as Moon-shik explains the meaning behind Healer, proclaiming the press as a force that identifies and treats society’s pains, and he just takes credit for everything like a goddamned hero. Moon-shik turns to address the camera/the public, saying that he worked to protect the media, and will now turn those efforts to protecting the city of Seoul, “as well as this country’s freedom, democracy, and order.”

Myung-hee cries to Young-shin, “I’m sorry.” Young-shin doesn’t understand why, but holds her mother in her arms as she cries.

Sitting grimly after the broadcast, Jung-hoo offers to steal back the tapes, which shouldn’t be too difficult. Moon-ho points out that he’s given up his clandestine errand-running job, saying that he’d like for Jung-hoo to live normally. “But… are you okay?” Jung-hoo asks. He looks over at Moon-ho and says in joke-relief, “I was really scared you were crying.”

Moon-ho returns, “I almost cried.” Jung-hoo asks if that’s because of the stolen tapes, and Moon-ho just tells him to buy some more beer and come over, because he’s got a lot of things he wants to tell him and Young-shin.

Our Double S Guards make a reappearance, although it’s to get shoved to the side as the operation gets taken over by Jeil Newspaper’s Manager Ahn. I suppose he IS more effective than Sang-soo, who finds his office taken over by the brusque newcomer.

Min-ja has her eye on Double S and notices the movement, as does Dae-yong, who’s staking out the building. They watch the Jeil team leaving the office, and Dae-yong wonders why they’re here. Ajumma merely replies that she’s making the Healer a retirement fund, and it involves the thugs who followed him after the ex-cop died. It’s likely that one of them was the killer—but why would they be affiliated with Double S?

Dae-yong photographs the Jeil team, and the closeup of Manager Ahn’s face niggles at ajumma’s memory. Where has she seen him before?

The Someday staff stays late working their way through the Elder tips, which are mostly duds. Moon-ho looks exhausted, but rather than take a break he’s preparing for things to start soon (…more things?). He’s not sure when or how they’ll come at them, but he knows to expect something.

While the staffers doze, Moon-ho finds Young-shin sleeping in Jung-hoo’s lap, clutching his arm. He notes that the couple is being pretty blatant, and Jung-hoo informs Moon-ho that she can’t sleep around just anyone. “What about you?” Moon-ho asks. “I’m not just anyone,” Jung-hoo replies.

Jung-hoo asks about Moon-ho fighting the Elder now, and wonders if that puts Young-shin in danger. Moon-ho doesn’t know, and asks if Jung-hoo would like to take her away someplace far, where it’ll be easier to live as a normal person. Jung-hoo admits that he’s hesitating over the idea: “I think it’s because of you. Leaving you on your own and going away just the two of us doesn’t feel right.”

Moon-ho touches hand to heart and half-teases that he’s touched. But Jung-hoo says seriously, “I can’t be without her now. So if it’s for her, I could throw you away.”

“That’s okay,” Moon-ho says readily, smiling. Ack! Stop doing things that make me scared for you!

In the morning, the attack begins. In a flurry of activity, Moon-ho is hit with legal documents, including a summons by the prosecutors’ office. Then a team is sent from the National Tax Service, acting on the report that misuse of funds were used to buy out Someday. Fuming, Moon-ho can do nothing while they confiscate everything.

It looks like they’re going after Someday big-time, and Editor Jang wonders to Jung-hoo whether his wife’s current business troubles could be related. Her restaurant was hit with a health inspection and enormous fine, and the timing makes him wonder if there’s any connection. But he shakes his head, telling himself there isn’t.

Later that evening, Moon-ho pulls into his parking garage, with Jung-hoo and Young-shin not far behind, armed with beer for a friendly visit. The second Moon-ho opens his car door, he’s ambushed—gack! Noooo, not Moon-ho!

His attackers drug him with chloroform. Their cars peel out moments later, just as Jung-hoo’s car drives in. That strikes Jung-hoo as odd, and the moment he sees the dropped camera in Moon-ho’s parking spot, his sense of alarm spikes.

Jung-hoo connects to ajumma right away, asking her to track Moon-ho, and gives Young-shin the choice: come with him or wait in Moon-ho’s apartment. She guesses that fighting is likely and quickly gets out of the car—better not hold him back. When he tries to escort her upstairs, she waves him off, and he’s pressed enough to hurry out after Moon-ho. Uh-oh. I have very bad feelings about all of this.

In the getaway car with an unconscious Moon-ho, the Elder’s minions find his cell phone and hand it off to a motorcyclist, who drives off in other direction. Crap crap crap.

Jung-hoo therefore follows ajumma’s instructions following the wrong vehicle, while Young-shin waits for the elevator to Moon-ho’s apartment. Someone joins her, and she nervously looks up… at a smiling, smarmy-faced Secretary Oh.

 
COMMENTS

Well that’s certainly not a face you ever want to see, especially when it’s looking so gleeful. Secretary Oh should never be happy, because only bad things happen when he’s happy.

What a great (and terrible!) episode of turnarounds, coming off last episode’s euphoria of Team Healer pulling a fast one on the bad guys with such aplomb. Then there was all that relationship cuteness, and moments of warm humor, and promises of the future… and bam! We slam into a wall of darkness and unease. Dramatically, it’s fantastic. It’s just, as a viewer, I don’t know how much my nerves can take. I just care too much about these people, so sue me. *cries into cornflakes*

I was a little surprised to see the Elder storyline settle down so quickly after the live broadcast ambush, because while I knew that he would regroup later, I didn’t expect him to just… vanish and let the characters be happy and safe. I suppose that lull just makes the attack more painful when it comes, but it also serves the purpose in giving us a glimpse of life after Healer-dom, which I didn’t realize I wanted to see so badly until we saw it.

That’s not just because I want to see Jung-hoo normal and happy, but because there’s a thread of sadness woven into this concept of being reintroduced to society that I really appreciate. It’s amusing in the moment to see Jung-hoo’s reintegration foibles in a comedic light, but it also hurts the heart a little when you consider just how much of an impact his isolated life has had on who he is as a person, and how he reacts to the most ordinary of circumstances. It’s funny to call him thirteen and laugh at how he goes through windows, but then he asks in a plaintive voice why Young-shin is keeping him away from herself, and the reality comes crashing in: He doesn’t actually know how to react. He doesn’t have social graces. He’s always tired because he’s never had to be a functional adult.

It’s therefore just as saddening as it is amusing to see Jung-hoo struggling to adjust to mundane life, especially since this current life isn’t too different from what he did the first time as Park Bong-soo… it’s just that the first time, the job was the afterthought, the B-sides to Healer’s super-fly action movie A-story. This time, he has to live the B-sides as his main life, and the beauty of that is that this humdrum ordinariness is actually the goal he wants. Once he gets used to staying awake for a full workday and answering phone calls he doesn’t want to, that is. It might take a while, but thankfully, he’s got the rest of his life to figure it out.

I find myself flip-flopping on Moon-shik with every twist, and I suppose that indicates that he’s been very well-drawn on both sides of his character, because both of his extremes feel credible. Yesterday I saw him in a more sympathetic light, but today he went back to pissing me off, albeit in a good way because he’s showing more complexity and shades of his darkness, not just going back and forth between stark white and black. His interview was brilliant and infuriating in equal measure, and showed once more his gift in taking the truth and using it to shape the narrative he wants to present.

Nothing he said in the broadcast was false, and furthermore, you get the sense that Moon-shik truly believes his explanations of why he was acting for a good cause. He’s not just a good liar; he may be self-delusional about his motives, and that makes him a very dangerous character. It’s almost sociopathic, his ability to convey earnestness and truth in a way that’s just wrong. The Moon-shik of 1980 didn’t seem so bad, and the Moon-shik of 1992 (even after the accident) also appears well-intentioned and loyal. But there’s no getting around the fact that since then, he has made choices with his eyes wide open and is warping the past to bolster his actions in the present. That explains why Moon-ho and Myung-hee reacted with such frustrated rage, because he’s just too good at twisting facts into his version of the truth.

The explanation of the Farmers takes us in an interesting direction, shifting the story away from the personal injustices and into a darker well of institutionalized corruption. This is something Writer Song does particularly well (and reminds me of Story of a Man, in fact), and by the time we get to this part of the story we’re deeply invested because of the connection to our main characters. (As to the particulars of the case: I’m not 100 percent sure I’m understanding correctly, so correct me if I’m wrong, but the scene witnessed by Gil-han and Joon-seok showed the Farmers involved in a massive payoff that involved the willful use of bad construction materials. It turns this into a more dangerous issue than politicians merely stashing away illegal funds—that’s a bad enough thing, but at least not a direct threat to public safety.)

But on to Moon-ho, whose fate isn’t looking so good right about now. To be honest, I was never convinced he’d make it out of the drama alive, but the more he integrated with Team Healer, the more positive I thought his chances were for survival. On a symbolic level I argue with myself that it works better to keep him alive, as a survivor of this cyclical series of events that began in 1980; his internet broadcasts carry echoes of the old rebellious spirit, and because of his age he has always been smack-dab in the middle of the two generations, acting as a link but never quite belonging to either group. So he isn’t necessarily bound to the old tragedy, and I feel like an argument could be made for him being the way to break the cycle in the new generation.

On the other hand, recent episodes hint at his willingness to hurtle headlong into the fight without concern for coming out of it alive, and he might just go down fighting. It’s a lovely contrast to his earlier apathy, where he lived because he wasn’t dead, not because he had any great motivation to stay alive. Now that he’s discovered a passion to keep him going, surely the writer wouldn’t be so cruel as to snatch that away from us/him, would she? (Worried side note: She totally would be that cruel. It’s kind of why I love her writing, and also feel pain because of it.)

And perhaps viewed symbolically from the other side, it’s possible that the message for Moon-ho is that it’s more meaningful to live with purpose for a short time than to exist indefinitely without purpose. That links him closer to the older generation, most of whom met premature ends but whose lives were, as far as we can judge, well-lived and well-loved.

Aghhhh, basically I think this means that Moon-ho could live or die and either case is supported thematically and symbolically, and now I’m just scared. Don’t die, Moon-ho! Please?

Beanies..I just finished tagging my phone contact list with JCW pictures. I really wanted to tag my husband's number with his picture since he calls me the most but didn't feel right. ;) haaha So I left that one alone.

Well I found this awesome MV of JCW's song with English subtitles and beautiful scenes of our OTP. While listening to his voice, watching the scenes and reading the lyrics..total warmth filled my heart. The song sounded more beautiful and soothing. It even included some of his Healer dialogue and I know your girls will pick up which ones when you read the lyrics.

I've repeated the Healer eps so many times I don't need the subtitles anymore. hahah.. Enjoy!

I had literally done the same thing with my contact list yesterday! But I only tagged the ones who are watching Healer with me... and I changed my husband's photo to JCW! But at least it's my most FAVORITE JCW picture, that means something, right? He understands, fortunately... and he reminds me that he is also 50cm shoulder width like JCW :)

And I'm with you, sister! I now watch the episodes raw because I've seen it so many times that I know what they are saying in English! Haha!

@RooPoo143.. can I really use that excuse to tag my husband's contact? Say the word.. chica..I can do it right? hahah Then I have to choose my favorite pic of JCW.. that is a tough call.. I like the bedroom eyes ones in ep15 but which one?... dilemmas.. diliemma..

TurkishRose - Use Roopoo143's excuse.. totally valid. ;) haha

@Fab and @Sumee-- JCW has made me use my brain cells to the max to let me be with him every second of the day. This is all part of therapy as we all start our Healer Withdraw process. I think I need a new memory card with all the pics I downloaded ..haha

Every time my friend calls.. JCW eyes are just gazing at mine and I just smile like a silly girl. I picked a less glazing look when mom calls. hahah

@TurkishRose.. we are all harmless - just reliving our high school days via JCW and Healer. ;) I haven't been in reality in the past 8 weeks. As I was sitting in bed, trying to figure out if I should continue with Pinocchio, my husband was going to the living room to play his new video game. I asked, can I get a hug and he hugged me and he said you know I'm not Healer..It is a going gag in our house. haha So after he left, I ended up looking for JCW pictures on the Soompi thread. Trying to find that one good HD picture of him with the white sweater where he and CY playing the I know.. you know game in ep13.. Love him in that white sweater. He really looks especially good in light colors. I thought the beige sweater was really nice in ep8 but the white sweater in ep13.. Wow! Great I can recite the episode number according to his wardrobe. haha

@jcw mesmerizing eyes ,, omg love how your hubby is so understanding of your healer disease lol, but gotta hand it to you, when you said we are reliving our high school days, that was so true. I graduated out of high school, 12yrs ago *gasps * but these healer emotions are bringing back these innocent love feelings..you know the ones you feel before you enter the real world of marriage, kids, and responsibilities lol. It's nice to feel this way :)

Adding my 2 cents since I was able to watch with subs last night...

Such a great character-driven episode! Watching young Moon-Shik go from trembling and bloody to slick and confident was both chilling and sad. I really wanted him to show some goodness towards the end, but MAN is he making me hate him. He seems so delusional and brain-washed, but almost like he still thinks he's doing the right thing. The whole backstory was heart-breaking.

Noooo don't kill Moon Ho!! So much foreshadowing. Although I would the Elder wouldn't want to go there since he doesn't want to lose Moon Shik (and have to find another candidate). Worried about Young Shin, but I think a lot of this was just to scare Jung Hoo into siding with The Elder.

Can't wait to see where this ends up. I want a happy ending with everyone having Myung Hee's food together, and Young Shin's daddy knowing his girl doesn't have a weakling! :)

Yes ..I think that an artist act along with so many actors /actress that doesn't meant they have romantic felling towards them ,as in a particular person can be so different in their real life,then the persona they show to the world,moreover I have heard so many actors cannot look eye to eye in real life but have crackling chemistry onscreen ..

I agree, JCW and PMY are doing a great job in this drama. I think JCW is particularly doing a great job portraying subtle emotions, quick changes in demeanor and facial expressions playing the different characters. His acting has certainly improved from his Dong Hae days, maybe all that practice from Empress Ki? I'm pretty impressed and it's those subtleties and small moments that have really made this show for me. I have read and seen interviews of JCW and he's apparently really shy, and is more the cute/adorkable type - closer to a mix of Bong Soo and JH then Healer.

You know even if it had been that they are dating or into each other, I would have squeed hard for days but knowing how professional they act, it just makes me love them more as actors!

Both are such a gem in Korean dramaland ! K heroines are so type casted and so has PMY but this drama shows how much her character can shine when she is being real !
And there already has been too much said about JCW.

Usually by end of a series, I find the actors little disconnected from their characters or story , it comes out in their acting. But this drama is like opposite, with every passing episode they grow more into their character , more into where the character is going on its journey. Like how each thing that is happening is affecting their mind, heart and soul !

A great episode. JH really cares about YS, and true to his words that he would always give YS priority over MH, even when MH was in danger and he should have driven away immediately, he actually got out of the car and thought to escort her first since he knew she was kinda phobic to ride the elevators, but he didn't insist on staying longer either when YS said to just go ahead. Now that both YS and MH are in danger, I wonder if he will readily abandon MH to go save YS. I think it is easier said than done. He would be pulled in two different directions and even if he ultimately will choose YS, I am sure it would be a tough decision regardless.

Required fields are marked *

@ niKai

I believe this is when YS will play her part in making it easier for JH by NOT turning on the GPS locket just yet, enabling JH to focus on his search and rescue of MHo. She has complete faith in JH's love and concern for her and knows that he'll drop everything else if he knows she's in any sort of danger thus abandoning his search for MHo. As YS now knows of MHo's link to her past, saving him is also her priority and with the love of her life JH being MHo's best bet now, she will thus stay her hand from turning on that GPS locket, for now.

I remember too that despite the debilitating effect the sight of violence has on her, YS is courageous in the face of danger - as she was when the SS goons were after her - and that she is also a fighter -as she had fought JH the first time they met in the public restroom, just before he clipped her nails (which now seemed like another lifetime - how far have they gone, as a couple). So, courageous YS will for now face off Sec Oh on her own.

And how great would it be if YS knows that Sec Oh is OCD and has learned from JH how to deal with him - have her push the right buttons and f**k Oh's head with it, wiping that sickening smirk off the slimy snake's face. Hah!!

YS, hwaiting!

I finally watched the whole ep subbed. This has probably been said before, but a couple of parts are leaving me in dread.

- When JH asks YS if she's stay by his side, she answers yes, but then why does she make that pensive look? I hope there isn't too much deep meaning in it, even knowing Song Ji Nah, and that she was just worried about his being able to fit into society.

- The other part that worries me; when they're all sleeping in the Someday building, and Moon Ho comes to find JH awake with YS asleep on his lap. JH says he'd feel bad to leave MH but that he can't live without YS and if he had to, he'd abandon MH for her. This may or may not play into the next ep, as she also has her tracker on her and could either beat up Secretary Oh (if he doesn't have any torture devices on him, not going to look over that), or Dae Yong or someone could find her and help her.

Whatever the case, here's to hoping JH finds Moon Ho safely, and YS escapes Mr. Creep and our gang makes it out alive.

But man , that was futile. This is the only one K drama I have even seen that was so consistently good for 18 straight episodes ! Yes 18 straight !

I'm another late addition, but I felt enveloped in our little Healer family quite fast. I started watching after 6 episodes were out, and as soon as I caught up 7 and 8 came out. So my time of waiting every week started after ep 8. And I started commenting either around ep 9 or 10. Not the first time I've commented, but I've only commented a couple times before, and I've been reading DB for awhile. I love this community. *hugs all*

@@Divyrus, so true sweety. I can't think of one drama that was consistently so good, and not dragging. I mean two of my favorite series were The Master's Sun and Secret , but both I didn't experience them LIVE, so marathoed both and never felt any skipping moments. However , watching Healer Live and not getting bored of it, that's a FIRST in my book. I've given up on soooo many shows live, because they just didn't keep my interest level high enough.

Healer was the crack for me,, and I can tell for you as well, so I'm praying it keeps this beautiful momentum until the end, and not disappoint us.

So true ! Its so hard to love a drama during live watching because it usually fizzles out ! Or disappoints you ! During marathon, yoy ignore most of the faults.

The two dramas I enjoyed the most during live watching were City Hunter and I hear Your Voice. Even though they were both great, I haven't ever appreciated each and every story and character arc of both shows before ! And even while re watching, it's just specifics that I watch !

This drama is really one of its kind !

@turkishrose@divyrus

So true and same here...this is the only drama that I have watched on live broadcast and I don't even know a single Korean phrase! I have lots of drama on my top list as well since I started being a kdrama addict but this TOPS them all! It's the "feel" it's magical, it's simply amazing!

I am so thankful I have this community of passionate fans who just lOVE the show and the actors! I know I can survive the WS because of you guys!

Right back at you !
There is something so awesome about gushing about a particular scene and coming to recaps and comments finding that, people are feeling the exact same thing !

I finished 6 episode and only then started reading recaps, in episode 6 recap, JB said, 'let's be honest, all of us came here to squee over YS confession right ? ' Lol

Live watching is so much fun only for few very rare dramas, for the rest I usually feel them to be burdening !

I really don't want another death, because I'm afraid it would leave a bitter taste after I finish it :( I mean, I am so invested in all the characters, that if they don't live happily ever after (with the ups and downs of life of course, but without death involved), I will be sad and angry. I understand that it may serve a greater plot, but I mostly watch this drama with my feelings, so I just want happy at the end >_<

The poem so far! Feel free to add more lines. Make a line and hopefully someone will comment with a line that rhymes. You can continue to build on a line already started or start your own stanza.

(Crysta) Bong-sookie is the best.
(Turkish Rose) He didn’t let my heart rest
(Skyofblue) He put the limits of my spazzing to the test.
(siesta) And turned each thread into a drool-fest
(Fantasy) Making me confused about east or west
(Crysta) So let me use your GPS

(pastmidnite) Jung Hoo-ya, on the other hand, is the name I should call (Growingbeautifully) Beside him, all other characters will pall.
(siesta) I wish I could find him at the mall
(siesta) Too bad he’s no longer available, y’all!

(Growingbeautifully) Healer’s eyes are so divine
(Turkish Rose) I wish he could be mine
(Turkish Rose) Looking at me without a worry or a dime
(Growingbeautifully) And gives me a smile sublime

(Growingbeautifully) Ji Chang Wook, daebak that we have discovered you
(pastmidnite) You made all of us a little bit cuckoo
(Growingbeautifully) But you’re worth our madness, as we await
(Growingbeautifully) Your next venture which will be great.

1. Park Bong-soo’s arrival in someday news!Gosh, I squee hard. And when CYS saw him from the first time and literally scan or I can say the word “preying” him right from head to toe, completed with the brow lifting and evil smirk, that just beyooonnndd cuteeee for me :D her POV must be like “uuuh, this hoobae kinda hotttt”

2. Healer identity‘s reveal. The daze!owmy, her shock seems so real, I got goose bumps when she entered the ER and saw him in another light. The way he scratch his head and talk to a stranger who she doesn’t recognize, and all those question that she’s even afraid to ask. And the way that they’re trying to make an excuse to gloss over this big awkward revelation. Wow. Just.wow. I really love this scene a lot.

True! And its nothing wrong with liking homosexuality , its just becomes little delusional in shipping pairs that don't exist !

I felt better realizing, they actually meant it that way ! Ha ha.

The incident that led to this tragedy was actually started when oh gil han deliberately poked seo jeon sok and caused the domino effect and alerted the goon. He made light those serious and danger situation, instead of run and hide, he made himself as bait and he pretty sure that he wouldn’t get killed. He couldn’t sense what kind of danger lies before him, and that’s what exactly CYS have been portraying too. She fearlessly tried to trap healer in the toilet, all by her own, clueless that this guy might as well a psycho who wouldn’t event flinch to crack her neck, but thankfully he’s not. And the bravado act when she told bong-soo to run and she tag along with the SS goon, also show the same pattern as her father, forward other safety then theirs. They’re rather impulsive, I might say. Action first, impact later.

@@redsun, totally see that picture. I haven't noticed that detail. But when you mentioned this scenes where she showed her fearlessness, it makes me sit in awe as how protective she was off bongsooki, and how her dad was protective of jungho's dad as well. He risked his life to save him, and she did that as well in return. Great observation I might say redsun :)

I never saw it that way ! That makes so much sense !

That sense of being attracted to danger and thrill, on how she found making fools of detectives so much fun. That recklessness !
Imagine them both having normal childhood, JH would be taking care of YS mess from school ! LOL ! She would do something reckless and stupid , and he would end up covering for her !

Their lost childhood is so tragic

Uh, that would make a total different story, Divyrus!If they were in "normal" condition, they probably share the same school and peers. and yes, i bet JH should handled the mess she made, and when she's on her rebel mode, JH would pull his "but, i'm-the-oppa-card-so-you-should-listen-to-me" that sweetttttttt by the way ^^

This totally could make it for fanfic!!! Sounds so plausible ... the "if only" of their youth. There should be a fanfic of an alternate universe in which they continued their relationship as kids into school years, even had other love interests, and then decide that they preferred each other... :)

Having you and many others journeying with me in each story, is such a bonus and so enriching for me.

Dear Writer-nim, I received a request, to pass on to you ... a request for some interesting kiss scenes. I know it is a bit late to try to squeeze these in since on your end, you may have more or less ended live shooting, but anyway ....

1) There are some delicious back hugs, how about adding a neck kiss in one of those???

2) There are awesome kiss scenes ... how about adding a preliminary brushing of lips first before going in for the actual kiss???

Pretty please? :)

I sometimes wonder about ep 10, where Bong Soo/ JH/ Healer confessed his feelings , that episode had 4000+ comments , that episode made me crazy over this show!!! After that we had many romantic intimate scenes , the hand porn, the missed touch, the kiss, the bed scene (most awaited, most watched I suppose) but is not it surprizing that we have just gone crazy over a confession which was rejected in just 3 seconds !!!!!

I believe that is the sexiest and most romantic scene... "The confession" and obviously the two nods ... I am falling for you again JCW :) :)

Strange isn't it? Not the kiss or intimate scenes but the wanting to confess/be known, the wanting to give his all, to accept any decision she made .... that is the epitome of romance and the start of love to me. :)

Yes... I mean he did not say I Like You, didn't say I Love You, didn't say I can't live without you or you are the one type lines.

He said " instead of him you can consider me then I will try to stay by your side for a long time carefully and the way you want me to stay" what's so special about it?? Doesn't it sound like bragging??? This is the chance, use it type sentence....

Same goes with YS too... " if you send me away now, you will cry" .. Huh sounds like an overconfident girl...

But they made these lines the most romantic ones, more than even I Love You... They didn't say this particular line till now, basically they don't need to.. :)

Yup, the action speaks louder than words and the words they said were the important ones, in fact the communication between them is paramount and tells of honesty, trust, acceptance, dependence that are the fruits of love ... and so without hearing or saying "I love you" they knew that, that was what was happening.

@fantasy, @gb, @sumee, I haven't rewatched old episodes in so long, but I started watching today only jcw/pmy scenes starting from ep.8 elevator scene :) and oh boy when I got to t confession in the rooftop in episode 10, my heart just melted as though it was the first time watching it. There is magic about that scene in particular that makes the heart ache for more. Maybe it's simply the way jcw conveyed those words, with the way he was looking at her, and maybe because we as the audience truly understand that those words are coming from JungHoo not bongso. It's as though he was deep down confessing even to himself, that he was so in love with her to the point that he would change his whole life to be right by her side. Sooo sweet and romantic, considering this is what he is doing now for her in ep. 18♥♥♥

Just re-watched again that scene, yes i likewise agree that is the most romantic scene. The confession is simple and the two nods just swoon worthy. It is so endearing, it actually made YS think for a while, I think it surprised her a lot. That's why I like with this OTP, they are not so dramatic with those things (the confession, her realising who healer was, the confrontation in the room, among others), they don't do it in grandeur but they made those scenes so endearing and memorable and sweet and so honest, sincere, simple, their heart talks I should say....ahhhh how can I move on Healer????

THAT SCENE ????

You know that us the first scene where Jung Hoo was involved directly in romance , till then it was Healer.
Now suddenly it's not just about rooftops, its getting real. Its his heart to be by her side. The very first time he voiced it out once he accepted his feelings. The very first time he actively wanted something more and for forever. The very first time we were able to see his heart on his sleeve.

That combination rode us nuts. Followed by her turning him down for his other him.

Now looking back, I realize we never used the name Jung Hoo much during that time. We always squeed as Bong Soo ! Now that moment was Jung Hoo, heart and soul.

That's how discovering a character must be. We met him as Healer,came to know him as Bong Soo and ended up loving him as Jung Hoo.

I know JCW aced the role ! But he really has been so so incredibly lucky to have had such a diverse role and had chance to explore all of it , and made us fall for all three of them !

There is something special about a romantic show or a movie when you already have finished it and come to rewatch that journey again..you start to take notice of small details that prove to you just how much he loved her way in the beginning..way before they both realize it.

So I guess it's official? Healer is the most commented drama of all time in DB. And it hasn't even ended yet. Imagine the amount we might get for the final recap. I can already predict the wails and screams from all the anguished fans. Hahahaha.

I have been a silent reader up till now but i could not hold it any longer and just had to comment. This drama has made me go crazy! I love Ji Chang Wook soooo much! This drama is seriously amazing!
i want to ask two questions and i hope i get some answers. First, in episode 8 when Myung Hee sees JH's father as Healer, was his father also the Healer? Also, in ep 12, when YS offers KMS and sec Oh tea in those cups, they magically reappear in JH's warehouse home in ep 15, so how did that happen??
However irrelevant these questions may sound, please don't laugh, hahahaha!
I love that this drama has made so many of us question things that may appear insignificant and I'm so very happy i stumbled over this drama! It's truly worth a watch!

Hi Srishti! welcome to our healer pad, we know, we know..we also got cray cray over healer too ^^

Regarding your Q1:
When MH bumps to JH, and she tought she saw SJS, it's because SJH resemble his dad so much. So that why she mistaken JH as his dad.Because for MH, her time stop in 1992, so when she finally realize that SJS is already dead, she realize that it's not SJS afterall. But the cunny resemblance is kind of trigger her intuition, that's why she initiate to meet JH omma.

Q2:
Ah, that CUPulation thing would remain a total mystery for us, LOL. I don't know whether it was a prop glitch,or actually a symbol for something. LOL. i think i've read about this in previous comment too. but i forget on which number that is.

@Srishti

Your questions were also raised by some of us before ...
now what did we say????

Healer's father, as far as we know, did not work as Healer, and did not have that costume getup either. However the group of 5 friends created their own magazine called Healer as the news that would heal their corrupt society. JH's Teacher took the name 'Healer' from that magazine/group.

We also wondered about those mugs. We just shrugged it off as JH either taking home a couple of mugs or the Production Props Crew just not realising how eagle eyed we are and they just got a whole bunch of similar mugs for all the sets or used the same ones at short notice! It could have been a production blooper! LOL!

@ Srishti

Answering your query :-

- Was JS a Healer too? Nope, there's nothing to indicate that, so far. MHee was just mistaken, thinking that JH who appeared before her was her dear dead friend JS, father and son just bear a close resemblance to each other. She later covered it up and tried to keep it away from MS.

- As to the tea cups (mugs?), there were quiet a bit of speculation of how that came about in the episode recap. Don't really remember it all, so you may want to check it out yourself but it could have been a hiccup on the production team's end.

Hope that helps, somewhat. :-)

just went to soompie thread, and i got this bad news that JCW got injured and went to the hospital. Too bad the pic taken wasn't clear and didn't show his face, so we really couldn't tell whether it's really him or not :(

But hopefully nothing serious happened to him

Sub-thread : FUN RHYMES

Since some imaginative people have suggested that we can make rhymes with names and other aspects of the show... here's a limerick or 2 or 3. :)

Continuing from Comment 115 ...
1)
There was once a spy called Jong Sookie
Who constantly got left out by Bong Sookie
Until he saw Dae Yong on a stair
Who made him stop and stare
So now from spy-work he plays hookie

2)
Chae Young Shin was a mediocre cub
In Someday ace reporter hub
But she didn't need aegyo
To get heard on the live show
And get boss into the limelight of the pub

3) To the writer-nim:
Jong Hoo needs a night-time job
Office work is just a yawn and sob
Please return him as Healer
He'll be more than a show stealer
And our hearts, he'll continue to rob
:)

Feel free to add your own :D

pfiuuuh, credit to Sia3 from soompie:
"More about Ji Chang Wook...
He should be alright because the account is whoever saw him said he's hurt, and the afternoon's filming was cancelled so he gets a few hours of treatment. He and his manager both drove separate cars. In conclusion, JCW drove himself to the hospital, and left in his own car. "

What Healer taught so far:

1. In a drama 2nd lead does not to be an angle of a love triangle, he can be a shipper too (Moon Ho)

2. Misunderstanding can be solved with 3 lines
"have you done it?"
. "No"
. "l knew it"
3 episodes are not necessary to do it.

3. Middle aged women are not always weeping mothers, evil mother-in-laws, conspirator aunts, they can be as cool as Ajumma as intelligent as Myung Hee

4. A man can be jealous of himself too ( but he does not have split personality) ... Ha ha last was the best :D

Anything more?????

5) A couple arc after denial and acceptance can be as sweet and romantic as the one before !

6) Female characters need not only be cute and innocent or spunky , they can be REAL.

7) Love stories doesn't need to be mending the hero's soul , it can be about healing each other.

6. Subtle romance and stares never shook heart like this before.

7. (this is personal view) after 18th episode after kiss, bed scene even after getting permission from parents ( though after beatings) even after solving the biggest misunderstanding, I still squee at OTP moments :) :) never happened to me

@fantasy YES YES YES to your 7 !

I mean never have I been excited or squeed over a couple after they have got together ! Once the tension is resolved, the story usually hangs in the air when it comes to the couple !

But here, each and every bit is squee worthy and so real.

This is one of the rare love stories(books and screen) !

You know Fab , they still haven't said I love you or I like you to each other !
I am always someone who wants to put those stuff in words out there like that's how it becomes truth but here you can literally FEEL their love !

And I can't imagine them saying that to each other !!

Maybe that would be one more scene we get in last two episodes ???

0

But they really don't need it though !

They are simply perfect !

0

That's a big plus. At this point saying those words out loud would make me explode! we can all feel how much they care about each other but imagining them putting it in wording is just literally mind blowing and heart tugging.

I am predicting they'll be put in a difficult and dangerous situation where they will just say it. The preview of the next episode is very telling...

Funny is that Jung Hoo never told YS "I like you" but he has informed ajumma and Moon Ho " nau chae yong shinnie chuyae" :D

wow, yeah!i did notice that too, so he went around and tell people he likes her, but he's not telling her yet, ah..this potentially gonna explode my heart when it's happening, LOL my poor heart has been harmed by hea;er for these couple months

@fantasy

My heart does this weird slip whenever I hear him calling her Young Shinie. Its just so so so endearing !

@redsun

There is something infinitely sexy about a guy letting the world know how much he is in love with her and he is hers and she is his.

That's what I so so so love about this OTP. Its never she is mine. Its am yours ! You can literally see that in their interactions and each and every action! ?

After continuous pestering and heavy dosages of aegyo, I have finally convinced two of my RL friends to watch Healer.

And guess what, they're now on ep 14 and completely loving it! My phone's inbox is flooded with their reactions hahaha. Mostly just gushing nonstop.

Wait till they get to ep 15 aka the KILLER first 10 minutes. Omo, I am preparing my phone for the explosion of fangirling to come.
