KBS Release Cool “Healer” First Teaser

Healer 1st teaser!!

Here’s the first official teaser from drama “Healer”:


Have you watched it already? How’s you opinion? Cool? Cool is an understatement. I find the teaser is really fascinating and intriguing, one that looks like coming from action movie. Think about James Bond movie or even The Matrix. Do you know other kdramas that have similar action vibe? Well, aside from “City Hunter” (in which Park Min Young also starred in it) I don’t remember any action drama from Korea.

“Healer” looks slick with lots of action, running, fighting and blink-or-miss it moments. It feels like the directing takes strong command and figures out how to present it in the best way in the teaser. Ji Chang Wook does a lot of running, fighting and jumping in this one. The teaser opens in present-day modern South Korea when Ji Chang Wook’s character, Seo Jung Hoo walks silently in the crowd, wearing all black outfits and hi-tech gadgets like earphone and Google Glass while receiving orders from unknown. Then he runs at an underground train tunnel and fights against (possibly) villains. Then he comes off the rooftop and runs along the car below and jumps in and out of someone’s house. In happens in a flash while the scene changing into a sunny day where Chae Young Shin (Park Min Young) looks at the sun and Kim Moon Ho (Yoo Ji Tae) observes her from far distance. Kim Moon Ho then rides a car while Seo Jung Hoo still running at the rooftop and jumping across buildings. The teaser closes with Seo Jung Hoo’s silhoutte over the Healer logo.

The music score and the teaser looks something out of sci-fi/action/thriller movie. That’s definitely different than most Korean dramas revolved around love triangle/quadrangle/pentagon or revenge thing. Sure, “Healer” will also involve romance and love story at some degree but at least, judging by the teaser it looks more action-oriented than romance. Ji Chang Wook’s character here also really different from his past roles. Although I could argue that he doesn’t play same role twice. He played a chef, pianist, reporter, bachelor vegetable store owner, sword warrior, cute maknae, emperor, student, guardian angel before and it’s really different from mysterious spy/secret agent/messenger in “Healer”. His character here maybe will be cold, aloof and mysterious, he may speak so little and only does his job perfectly.

Well, let’s wait his transformation as Healer in drama “Healer”. Premiered after “Tomorrow Cantabile” on KBS2 starting from December 8, 2014.

KBS merilis Teaser Pertama “Healer” yang keren

Teaser pertama “Healer”!!
Sudah menonton teasernya? Bagaimana reaksi kalian? Keren? Keren mungkin masih kurang mendeskripsikan teaser itu. Saya merasa teasernya sangat menarik dan membuat penasaran, seperti teaser dari film action. Seperti film James Bond atau bahkan The Matrix. Ada yang tahu drama Korea lain yang punya atmosfer seperti ini? Selain “City Hunter” saya tidak ingat drama aksi lain dari Korea.

“Healer” terlihat bagus dengan banyak adegan aksi, berlari, bertarung dan adegan yang bergerak secepat kilat. Tampaknya sisi penyutadraan memegang komando kuat dan menampilkan yang terbaik di dalam teaser. Teaser itu dimulai dengan menunjukkan pemandangan Korea Selatan yang modern ketika karakter Ji Chang Wook, Seo Jung Hoo berjalan dalam diam diantara kerumunan, memakai pakaian serba hitam dan gadget canggih seperti earphone dan Google Glass sambil menerima perintah dari orang yang tidak diketahui. Lalu dia berlari di terowongan kereta bawah tanah dan bertarung melawan (kemungkinan) penjahat. Lalu dia muncul dari atap gedung dan berlari menyaingi kecepatan mobil di bawahnya dan melompat ke dalam dan ke luar balkon rumah orang. Itu semua terjadi dalam sekejap dan lalu adegan berpindah di hari yang cerah dimana Chae Young Shin (Park Min Young) melihat ke arah matahari dan Kim Moon Ho (Yoo Ji Tae) melihatnya dari kejauhan. Kim Moon Ho lalu naik mobil sedangkan Seo Jung Hoo masih berlari diatas atap gedung dan melompat dari atas gedung pencakar langit. Teaser ditutup dengan siluet Seo Jung Hoo dibalik logo "Healer".

Musik dan teasernya tampak seperti sesuatu dari film fiksi ilmiah/aksi/thriller. Itu jelas berbeda dari kebanyakan drama Korea yang berkutat seputar cinta segitiga/segiempat/segilima atau masalah balas dendam. Sekalipun nantinya “Healer” juga akan memasukkan unsur romansa dan cerita cinta, tapi setidaknya dilihat dari teaser, drama ini lebih berorientasi pada aksi daripada romansa cinta. Karakter Ji Chang Wook disini juga sangat berbeda dari peran-perannya sebelumnya. Walaupun memang dia tidak mengambil peran yang sama 2 kali. Dia pernah bermain sebagai koki, pianis, reporter, pemilik toko sayur, ksatria berpedang, maknae imut, Kaisar, siswa SMA, dan malaikat penjaga sebelumnya dan itu sangat berbeda dari mata-mata/agen rahasia/penyampai pesan misterius di Healer. Karakternya disini mungkin akan dingin, kaku dan misterius, dia mungkin sedikit bicara dan hanya mengerjakan tugasnya dengan sempurna.

Mari kita tunggu transformasinya sebagai Healer di drama “Healer”. Tayang setelah “Tomorrow Cantabile” di KBS2 mulai 8 Desember 2014.
