My Kdrama Superhero HEALER
If there is a better word for, excellent, exceptional, or outstanding, I would choose that to describe the drama HEALER.
●HOW I CAME TO IT
I spent like 5 years in Kdramaland but was oblivious to Ji Chang Wook,I recently came to know about him, and with the suggestions of fellow mdl’er I decided to watch Healer.
●FIRST IMPRESSION
The drama has everything - great script, amazing casts, perfect OST, and fast-paced. It's a mix of action, drama, romance, and mystery. It kept me hooked to all 20 episodes without an ounce of weariness.
●PLOT VIEW
When I started it, I thought I know the ending but the amazing twists rambled in my mind. At some moments it felt like a superhero drama. The superheroes live a normal life but also disguise themselves in their costumes and help people. In another moment the drama felt like a makjang with a birth secret. And yet another time it felt like childhood trauma, a Kdrama cliche plot. But in spite of having all this, it had remarkable entertainment.
●ACTING/CAST
Since this is my second JCW drama I had a good impression of him but let me first hype OMG!!! he shook my heart. His action and expression were like, he is made to do this character. Fangirls swooned over his hotness and gave all his dramalist but am way past there, I love good acting. I cannot imagine another actor in the role of HEALER. The duel character give a consistent growth and I got more immersed in JCW. He made his way onto my favorite actors list.
Park Min Young, I have watched her in office dramas, but here she surprised me. She played a weak lady but fearless. Even though she is struggling she still thinks to help others. JCW and PMY created phenomenal chemistry, they were not sensational but believable, subtle, and sweet.
Another character I enjoyed thoroughly was, Hacker Ajhumma, her voiceovers were amusing and most of the time she was alone working on computers. She might have acted alone like talking to someone with perfect expression is daebak.
Supporting characters Dae Young, aide girl of the healer, Choi Chi Soo, Chul Min, and Kim Moon Ho were enjoyable. Antagonist characters were also done well, otherwise, how would the protagonist look good? The baddies elder, secretary Oh, were humans who seemed fearless but had their heads shaken by the end.
●MUSIC
Whoever chose the OSTs did an excellent job. “Eternal Love” by Michael learns to rock has a soulful tune ensembled with perfect lyrics. It synced into the Healer scenes like the blood in veins.
“I’ll protect you” and the Healer theme was also mastered well.
●FAV SCENE
The snowfall kiss scene. It was so harmoniously aesthetic.
●REWATCH
It is a great drama, am surely rewatching this very soon.
●RECOMMENDATION
If anyone likes to watch excellent action and amazing acting, Healer is a must-watch.
●APPRECIATION
The action sequence was marvelous. I enjoyed each sequence without skipping. Every run, every jump, fight it was perfect. The action director did a phenomenal job.
●AFTERTHOUGHT
I will have a hard time getting over this, and If I can't find an excellent drama of this level I will be very disappointed I guess.
