Ji Chang-wook leaps across skyscraper rooftops for Healer
by girlfriday
Oh I guess we’re in for a lot of high-flying action in Ji Chang-wook’s new drama Healer. This is just a B-side version of the title sequence for the show, but it’s still our first glimpse of the series, and I can tell you this much — Ji Chang-wook is NOT just “an errand boy,” as the drama’s press releases are making him out to be. He looks more like a secret agent, possibly with a mutant gene for defying gravity. I can’t imagine that he’s jumping rooftops to beat traffic, though I guess anything is possible.
The upcoming KBS Monday-Tuesday drama comes from writer Song Ji-nah, of Faith, Legend, Story of a Man, and Sandglass fame. (Directing is PD Lee Jung-sub of Baker King Kim Tak-gu.) It’s about a mysterious “errand boy” and a couple of reporters who end up sucked into a web of intrigue when they uncover a secret that someone else wants to keep buried.
Ji Chang-wook’s character goes by the codename Healer, and he’s a top-notch errand-runner in the business world. He’s armed with state-of-the-art equipment, brains, and even expert fighting skills. He never fails to get the job done, whatever it is. See, if you leave it to my imagination, then all I can think is that he’s up to his eyeballs in corporate espionage and dirty backdoor deals. Maybe he really is just a super fast courier?
Yoo Ji-tae (A Star’s Lover) plays a star reporter, and Park Min-young (A New Leaf) plays a second-rate internet news site reporter who dreams of becoming a hard-hitting journalist. One day Yoo Ji-tae stumbles upon an intergenerational secret involving a defunct pirate radio broadcast from the ’80s, and it connects the three leads as they work to uncover various parts of this mystery. I still don’t know why Ji Chang-wook has to leap tall buildings to do that, but he looks pretty cool doing it.
Healer follows Cantabile Tomorrow on Mondays and Tuesdays beginning in early December.

City Hunter was my first thought too! Wonder if JCW does his own stunts like Lee Min-ho? Sounds interesting, will definitely give it a try.
Is it okay to say that Viki got the license to air this? Here's the link, the channel volunteers are hoping for lots of fans to follow the show.

He did those high flying and parkour scenes himself, and also gym bar fighting scenes. I watched Healer BTS when he filmed those action.

LOL I'm here!! A girl's gotta sleep at least an hour or two in between spazzing, no? And I'm still mopping up my drool from that all-black ensemble. *RAWR*
I could only wish for such breathtakingly-gorgeous, speed-of-light-moving, technological-savvy couriers here in San Francisco... most of the folks I've had dealings with are FAR from this visage. WAY FAR. :P
Can't wait for December!!! *squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*

Boy better not hurt himself..
I'm having good feelings for this drama. At least the first half of the show. Not putting my money on the whole drama being great coz kdrama has taught me that painful lesson on many occasions.

I like me some Ji Chang Wook. I haven't seen his latest projects like Empress Ki...the saeguk is simply too long so I didn't even bother watching...but he's so darn hot. Been a fan of his since before he became such a hot icon.

Empress Ki is too long but he's fantastic in Empress Ki. Probably his best performance to date.
I can't wait to watch "Healer" to fall in love with him again ^^

Maybe he really is a super fast courier (that happens to look extremely cool in doing his job) haha
I'm gonna catch this for Ji Chang-wook! He's been in my radar ever since WBDS and BVS and I'm just happy that he's getting even better roles nowadays :D

You had me at Ji Chang-wook. For some reason, I'm thinking of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character in Premium Rush.

He's like Hayate, The Combat Butler (Tai-Kor collaboration). I remember in the first episode he's like an errand boy.

My baby is there!! Can't wait to see the drama. So far t's only the first glimpse and I agree, it looks more like secret agent than errand boy, the all-black outfit also enhance the impression.
Anyway I'm more than happy seeing him back on small screen after Empress Ki. Ji Chang Wook and Healer fighting!!
