El Sanador (2014)

Best drama of Ji Chang Wook for me! His chemistry with Park Min Young is very natural. I have a bias with good-looking main characters, so whenever they're on-screen, I can't help but fall in love with them.
Love the hacker, ahjumma! I wish I have a genius friend like her, who loves knitting and gimbap lol. And Reporter Kim Mun Ho is sooo handsome! This is the first time I've liked an "older" character. His eyes are very expeessive, so his role as a passionate reporter suits him perfectly. I was just slightly disappointed with the ending, since it did not show what exactly happened with Kim Mun Sik, Yeong Sin's mother, and Boss. It may just be me, but I always like to see what happened with everyone on the last episode. If I compare this to a book, I'd describe it as a page-turner! I spent 4 sleepless nights ????

Dragged it out in the end, what started as an interesting drama ended up being a drag in the end. I literally cudnt wait for it to end. Enjoyed the initial few episodes. Reduced number of episodes with crisper writing & ending wud have helped hold the interest. The last episode seemed like the creators suddenly remembered drama needs to end & hurriedly finished it. I would have loved it if the ajjumma character had been explored a bit more, also the myung hee-moon shik story didn't get the ending it deserved considering the build-up that story was given. Loved the characters, music & fashion. The winter wears were definitely to die for. A one time must watch.

As a huge fan of Ji Chang-wook's acting, I must say this is one of his best roles. The story is amazing, the chemistry between the leads is off the charts and the action is jam-packed. If you enjoy action films, like the Bourne series, or Chang-wook's other series K2 - this is a great show.

I was blown away by the soundtrack and still listen to it years after I watched it - it's that good. If you love the action hero turned lover trope, this is for you!

I know some folks have likely criticized the plot length or some of the acting, but I feel that the storyline is very coherent and engaging for any action fan. I really appreciated the detailed stunts done and how the drama constantly has you on the edge of your seat.

Probably the most mature drama I've watched so far

Yeah, it falls into some silly tropes and, let's call it, faux drama/tension, but at the same time knows when to stop before you start gritting your teeth and rolling your eyes at it all. Not only that, I think it handles it perfectly, as if to oppose the standard drama formula.
The romance is beautifully crafted and made me squeal shamelessly into my pillow.
I'm particularly impressed with the character Kim Moon Ho, his personality and complexity.

I'm so relieved to say there's no love triangle. Just this deserves a high score on its own.
The ending felt a bit weird and went into directions I didn't really enjoy, but at least it had a proper ending.
A few characters didn't get enough of a resolution in my opinion. In particular Kim Moon Shik as I really enjoyed watching him and all his layers and wish there was a little bit more time for him, especially towards the end.

I am really surprised
This Drama is the best

You will watch first episode or also second episode but you will not like it but then you will see it continuously  

Actors were so professionals to deliver the idea and feelings.

I really suggest this Drama to be the 1st suggested Drama. 

I’m disappointed that it’s bad events were too much and the ending was unfair in my opinion. 

But the romantic side I liked it  

The Drama covered many aspect of the event so you will understand why it happens. 


Overall I gave it 10/10

Healer

I don't often write reviews, and this would be the first on Google. Among some of the most popular K-drama up until now, I still think this drama deserves a lot more attention. I had maybe a 15-year separation with K-drama (since the "Stairway to heaven" days), not until the pandemic hit that my love affair with K-drama returned!! I caught up with all of the most-worth-watching K-drama listed, but this one wasn't even the list. Upon recommendation of a friend, I gave it a try one night, and then the rest was history!! One sleepless night turned into consecutive sleepless nights as I could not stop wondering how the story unfolds.

The story is intriguing and unlike the typical K-drama stories. The romance interlaces in the plot is thrilling. The action scenes are awesome. The chemistry between the leads is believable. The main leads are just charming!! I have watched a few of PMY dramas, and she acts well with all of her partners, it seems; so I expected nothing less from her, and she did not disappoint. This is my first JCW drama, and boy, I am hooked. Not your typical K-drama prince-charming, but a more rugged badass heroic image. The man can act, I assure you! How he switches between the cool Healer to the goofy Bong-soo effortlessly. Watched the behind-the-scenes, JWC did most of his own stunts, how admirable!! The skinship between the main leads is natural; they truly acted like lovers (these scenes sometimes just look awkward in Asian shows). I could not imagine how the shippers had gone crazy over this couple!! Read that JWC gained international recognition after this drama, and very well-deserved.

The OST is nice. The theme song brings a gentle excitement with just a few notes in. The song by "Michael Learns to Rock" continues to echo in my head even after the drama ends. And a bonus, JWC also sang a song here. Because of this song, I looked up his other songs... and the man can sing - a voice with lots of emotion and good technique.

I have re-watched this drama twice, and have not grown tired of it. Definitely one of my most favorite K-drama of all time!! If you haven't watched it, you're missing out. It's the kind of drama that makes you feel smitten just thinking about it!!

I watched "The K2" first before I watched "Healer" and yes- both of this drama gave the same vibes. Since I really like action dramas I could tell you that "Healer" is a worth watching drama if you like action too just like me. There aren't many romance in here but as soon as there are you are seriously going to repeat that scene back to back because I did lol. I was sceptical to watch it first because they have 20 episodes. But that's not the case in here- you'll wish that they could have more episodes when you know that you are near to end watching this drama.

They don't have many OST or what ? Because their OSTs aren't really great tbh but hey we are watching a drama not listening to music.

Is "Healer" a worth to watch drama ? It is worth your time.
