Why Ji Chang-wook and Park Min-young's Healer is your K-Drama summer fix: Action, romance and more

There’s Ji Chang-wook and Park Min-young.

K-Drama folks, do you need anything more? And, it’s a thriller-romance-comedy-family-drama, you name it. You have JCW jumping from roof to roof, saving Min-young, who wears a cute beanie throughout, for some reason, but we aren’t complaining. Spoiler: The rescuing reaches a point where he saves her from an elevator accident.

But what’s it actually about?

Secret identities. Shady pasts. Endless rooftop chases. Ji Chang-wook plays a mysterious “night courier” whose ultimate dream is to retire alone on a deserted island. Then comes Park Min-young, a scrappy tabloid reporter, and Yoo Ji-tae, a polished broadcast journalist. Their lives collide over a decades-old pro-democracy scandal, present-day murders, and a web of lies just waiting to be pulled apart.

As the truth unravels, so do their walls, cue the high kicks, hacking sequences, and romance that’ll make your heart do backflips. It’s slick, it’s stylish, and it’s got just enough emotional punch to keep you hooked.

Healer plays like an action-packed video game with a cutesy love story at its core. And with this cast, it’s basically impossible to lose.
