I just finished watching Healer after a 4-day binge (yup, goofed off from work lol). Can't believe it took me soooo long to discover this serial!! I had actually been staying away from kdramas for some months as I started a new job and couldn't afford the distractions as I tend to watch compulsively late into the night until I get headaches. I had just finished Reply 1998 last week and the withdrawal symptoms were so bad I needed another serial to distract myself after finding myself obsessing a little too much over Park Bo Geum's photos in my Instagram feed. Healer really lived up to the hype and I agree with many of the viewers here that it felt fresh and had a nice mix of comedy, action, intrigue and drama. The chemistry between Ji Chang Wook and Park Min Young was amazing and natural (did they not kiss more than usual compared to other serials??). The pacing of the story was tight with enough little twists to keep it interesting. I did like the fact that the love "triangle" was between Healer and the Park Bong Soo alter ego. It was both funny and bittersweet to see them try to make sense of their emotions. After all love is frequently less about logic but relying on your heart and your senses to tell you what your brain cannot. I'm now a new fan of Ji Chang Wook (sorry PBG, still love you, but his Healer character is way cooler) and am now eager to suss out his other dramas. Suggestions on which ones to watch first are welcomed!
