May skip if you love the original!!!
As an avid fan of the original Leverage , i was excited to watch this one. The cast seemed ok and the trailer seemed promising, but the series ended being so-so.In the original leverage each con was well executed and even if they mess up the ending would be a positive twist. So it was a lot of emotions. Compared to it the Korean version looked bland. The con was poorly planned , action sequences were poorly choreographed and story seemed to be dragging at most places.
I also felt they could have done better with the cast. The grifter ‘s portrayal was caricaturish. The writers gave more importance to Go Na byul but the character was poorly written with often kiddish dialogues .
Overall if you love the original skip it ,!!! But if you have nothing else to do and you crave for a con related drama give it a try.

The best thing about the drama is the casting . All of them were suited for the role . I must say the drama stayed true to the novel also in the best way possible.
Definitely worth your time

It’s worth it?
This drama came up in my Viki recommendations a few times . but I kept on postponing it after reading negative reviews.But this drama surprised me. I really loved it,..The story is nothing spectacular . It’s just like any other twin replacing twin concept.
But what kept me hooked up was the cast and the amazing way it was told.
The ML portrays the two roles just like two actors. We can guess who is the twin from his stance, walk or even the gaze. In the first few episodes his portrayal of one the twin seemed a little over the top ,but once you pass that you will start liking him?
Rest of the cast is good.
Even though the plot is supposed to be serious , it has a lot of moments of where you laugh till your tummy hurts.
Ending seemed to be rushed and the biggest mystery to be unravelled is the dynamics of the mother and the twins. I mean what was that?.
If you like light hearted legal dramas which can actually make you laugh,watch it. You won’t be disappointed ?

Complete entertainer
Healer was one of the first K dramas I watched. This was a wholesome experience. I mean ticks almost all checklists for entertainment . Even after watching so many Kdramas it stands out and I guess that’s what make it popular. It caters to all sort of people. You have a macho hero who also can be a cutie in another version ,sometimes dumb FL who has a character and sizzling chemistry between them. It also unravels a mystery with amazing action sequences.The ending initially felt a bit underwhelming, but now I find it ok after diving deep into K drama world.?
A must watch for beginners.?

I accidentally stumbled upon this series. Being an avid fan of mystery dramas , I found the series very intriguing and captivating. My friend who happened to watch one episode midway also got hooked to this. For someone who had no idea about the original plot , my friend was able to pick up the romantic tension between the leads.So the chemistry between the leads undeniable. The ending was satisfying . I have seen so many contradicting theories online regarding the climax. My advice would be not to read them before watching?. The side characters have their own soul and get connected with you.
