Synopsis

A decades-old incident involving a group of five friends who ran an illegal pro-democracy broadcasting station during the Fifth Republic in South Korea brings together three different people—an illegal "night courier" with the codename "Healer" (Ji Chang-wook) who possesses 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).^[9]^[10]^[11] While trying to uncover the truth from that 1992 incident and a series of present day murders, they grow into honest reporters who try to blur the lines of conflict between truth and reality, even if that means fighting media honchos.

Cast

Main

- Park Si-jin as young Jung-hoo
- Go Woo-rim as child Jung-hoo
- Choi Jung-hu as toddler Jung-hoo

An illegal "night courier" 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. He will perform any task except anything involving murder. His ultimate goal is to save money and buy an uninhabited island off the coast of Panama and to live there alone, but that changes after being given an order by his client, Kim Mun-ho, to find and protect a girl named Young-shin from the people who want her dead but he later falls in love with Young-shin.

Park Min-young as Chae Young-shin / Oh Ji-an
- Kim So-yeon as young Young-shin
- Shin Soo-yeon as 10-year-old Ji-an

A strong-willed and quirky internet news reporter who dreams of becoming a legendary reporter. 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 suffers from panic attacks whenever she sees violence. She later falls in love with her protector, Jung-hoo.

Yoo Ji-tae as Kim Moon-ho
- Kim Seung-chan as young Moon-ho
- Lee Woo-joo as child Moon-ho

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 Oh Ji-an, a supposedly dead child whom he suspects to still be alive. He pays Jung-hoo (as "Healer") to find and protect Ji-an (now known as 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 two out of five best friends, and the crippling of a third.
