Healer (Hangul: 힐러; RR: Hilleo) is a 2014-2015 South Korean television series starring Ji Chang-wook, Park Min-young and Yoo Ji-tae.[1][2][3][4][5][6] It aired on KBS2 from December 8, 2014 to February 10, 2015 on Mondays and Tuesdays at 22:00 for 20 episodes.[7]

Though the drama received mediocre ratings in its home country, it gained a fanbase overseas and made Ji Chang-wook known outside Korea.[8]

Synopsis

A decades-old incident involving a group of friends who ran an illegal broadcasting station brings together three different people—an illegal mercenary with the codename "Healer" (Ji Chang-wook) who happens to possess top-notch fighting skills, a reporter from a second-rate tabloid news website (Park Min-young), and a famous journalist at a major broadcast station (Yoo Ji-tae).[9][10][11] In trying to uncover the truth from that 1992 incident, they grow into real, honest reporters, while dealing with the conflict between truth and fate.

Cast

Main

An illegal mercenary who works under the alias "Healer". Renowned for being the best in his field, Jung-hoo is equipped not only with advanced technology and a trusty hacker sidekick, but also his superb fighting skills. His ultimate goal is to save money and buy a deserted island off the coast of Panama and to live there alone, but that changes after being given an order by his client, Kim Moon-ho, to protect a girl named Young-shin from the people who want her dead.
A strong-willed and quirky internet news reporter who dreams of becoming a legendary reporter. However, her dreams are put to the test when she finds out about her hidden past as the lost child Oh Ji-an. Due to her abusive past, Young-shin is traumatized and panics whenever she sees violence. She later falls in love with her protector, Jung-hoo.
A star reporter, and brother to Kim Moon-sik, the CEO of a large news company. His goal is to last each day and to find Oh Ji-an, a supposedly dead child who is rumored to still be alive. He pays Jung-hoo to find and protect Ji-an (now Young-shin) from the people that want her dead out of guilt for not fully investigating the truth about a 1992 incident that ended in the tragic deaths of 5 best friends.
