Well wasn’t THAT a fun ride! 65 days after its premiere, “Healer” finally ended. It’s taken us a few weeks of sitting back and reflecting on its 10-week run before putting fingers to keyboards. So where to start? After posting our initial thoughts on the first half of the series here, we will concentrate on the second half of the drama (from Episode 11 to the finale), and then give a general wrap-up of the show as a whole. Here goes!
Good news! For those who would like to say a few words to Ji Chang Wook or show him your support, here’s your chance!
Some of you may remember about the Review Book project by the Ji Chang Wook DC that we announced in December 2014. DC Gallery has decided to re-open the project for submissions, and once again, The Kitchen will be helping DC to coordinate the international effort for this project.
We also know that Ji Chang Wook has gained many new fans through “Healer” and many of you may have missed the first round, so this is your (last) chance to contribute to this project! Please read on for more details.

The Press Conference for the KBS2 drama “Healer” was held on 4 December 2014 at the Raum Centre in Seoul, and we here at The Kitchen participated in our very first Rice Support project for Ji Chang Wook!
Gabby: We are finally halfway through “Healer”, and we figured it’s time for us to give our two cents’ worth about Ji Chang Wook’s latest project. After all, this site was created not merely to dish out information about him, but it was also meant to be an avenue for us to spazz about him too. We originally wanted to do episode recaps, but the lack of time forced us to consider doing episode reviews instead. That proved a little too ambitious also so we thought of doing weekly recaps. That did not materialise either, so we now end up with a mid-point review instead. LOL *face palm* Maybe there was some procrastination on our part too.
cherkell: Yeah, we had such great ideas, but Real Life slapped us hard upside both our heads. It’s a hard slog to do episodic recaps too, as evidenced by it taking me over a year to finish the “Five Fingers” recaps… but that was a show hardly anyone watched. (Except for the four people that did. I thank you for your support!) And since there are already sooooo many other sites doing recaps, why add to the dilution of the product? But you all know we spazz about “Healer” in our hearts, every minute of every day, right?
As we first reported in November 2014, an arrangement was made between Glorious Entertainment (Ji Chang Wook’s agency) and Insight Entertainment (the management company overseeing ‘The Days”) to present a performance especially for fans of Ji Chang Wook entitled “A Night With Free-Spirited Muyeong.” The seats were chosen by lottery by Ji Chang Wook himself, and I was thrilled to be on the receiving end of one for this special performance. Here’s a recap of the events!
