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]

Plot

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).[8][9][10] In trying to uncover the truth from that 1992 incident, they grow into real, honest reporters, and deal with the conflict between the truth and fate.

Cast

Main characters

Seo Jung-hoo is 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 in the south Pacific Ocean 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, and he eventually falls for her.

Chae Young-shin is a strong-willed and quirky internet news reporter who dreams of becoming a legendary reporter Oriana Fallaci and Kim Moon-ho. 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.

Kim Moon-ho is 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 the Oh Ji-an, a supposedly dead child who is rumored to still be alive. He pays Jung-hoo to find and protect Ji-an, who is 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.
