My friend introduced me to this drama and I decided to give it a try considering it looked similar to City Hunter with the same female lead and everything. However, it exceeded my expectation and is so much better than CH. I marathoned this drama in two days and now I'm crying.
This drama gives you feels. Literal feels in the heart. Moreover, you'll fall head over heels in love with Healer/Seo Jung Hoo/Bong Soo/Ji Chang Wook. <33333 I don't know how I haven't heard of him before but after watching this drama, I'll definitely check out Empress Ki.
The think I liked the most about this drama was that it wasn't draggy anywhere. I've watched a lot of dramas and most of them tend to drag a bit close to the end. However, Healer not only didn't drag, it kept the pace going until the very last scene.
Also, the ROMANCE. omg... It felt so real, the chemistry was unbelievably convincing and awesome. You HAVE to watch it to know what I'm talking about. Ugh, JCW performed his role so well and so did PMY. They are both soo talented and loving in every way.
I'm still dealing with post-drama syndrome as you can see b/c I just can't believe it ended! I miss seeing Ji Chang Wook's beautiful face on my screen everyday. :( To deal w/ it, I've been watching BTS vids and stalking Ji Chang Wook ;)))) It's the only way to heal my broken heart ;(
Oh and! The music!! The instrumental music that always play at an intense scene is so good! I have been listening to it on repeat. The song "Eternal Love" is the main OST and I have to say at the beginning I wasn't such a big fan but after listening to it a few times, ofc I fell in love. lol
SO AFTER READING THIS AND YOU ARE STILL NOT CONVINCED TO WATCH HEALER, THEN YOU ARE GOING TO MISS THE MOST AMAZING DRAMA OF YOUR LIFE. lmao but srs, go watch it, it's totally worth it. :D

Before I talk about what I liked/disliked about this drama, I'd like to say I love So Ji Sub. I've loved him since I saw him in Always and then in The Master's Sun. He's such a versatile actor and is able to portray any role and he lives up to his expectation in this drama. Also he just looks sexier and sexier the older he gets, HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE???!??!
The plot of the drama was a bit slow at times, I skipped a lot of the parts of the second-lead couple talking because I just wanted to see more actions of SJS and SMA. However, don't let that stop you from watching the drama!! It was a really refreshing drama because it promotes health and exercising which is rarely seen or portrayed in kdramas. I really liked the transformation that SMA went through and how real she was. The chemistry she had w/ SJS was just unreal. I really wish they dated in real life (after she and Kim Woo Bin end ofc) and had kids in real life too lol.
Even though there might not be a definite story line or even a strong villain, the main cast will blow you away with their cuteness. I loved the 3 guys trio and I love John Kim. You won't be disappointed if you watch this drama, it really has some cute moments!!!
I'll miss you! Daegu Venus!!
