Healer — Ep 1-2 Discussion Post

Watch on Gooddrama|Viki



In the early 1980s, there were five friends who ran an illegal broadcasting station.
Back then, the world was much simpler.
It was clear what had to be defended and fought for.
The way to go forth was like a straight line.
But reality destroys ideals.
Time teaches one about betrayal and compromise.

Now, their children have grown up to their twenties.
One of them became an agent who steals the secrets of others at night.
Another is a paparazzi who digs for information about others behind their backs.
In this damned world left behind by their parents,
political and societal justice are just unlucky words to them.

But there is one person who will take them forward. Thanks to him…
These children now start to harbour the same dreams as their parents. A dream to become a real reporter.
But in order to become true reporters, there is a wall that they have to overcome.
This world that their parents have shaped and left behind for them.

Will these children be able to become the real reporters that their parents once dreamed of?
Will they be able to untie the knots of the past and change the world?

“The world messed with us first,” one person among us said.
“No, it is us who have sinned against the world,” yet another person said.
- Hwang Jin Woo, from “Within the Broad-leaved Forest”

Song Jina is like one of my fave kdramas' writer so this could be good. However, this drama going to face strong competitions soon so the ratings might suffer. Reading the synopsis first doesnt get me excited tbh but it looks like it has City Hunter's elements which I love. I can't believe Yoo Jitae is playing the second lead here. Looks like Ji Changwook's value really go up after Empress Ki. ♥

I've a lot of faith in the writer, too. So I hope it'll be good. Although Yoo Ji Tae is an actor with great gravitas, I'm glad he's second lead because finally Ji Chang Wook can shine. Empress Ki definitely made him more relevant.

Well, the synopsis does sound weird, dramawiki (http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Healer) got a clearer one and much shorter. That synopsis was written by Song Ji Na otherwise I suggest reading dramabeans' recap of the first episode.
