Of course, thats if the Seung-hee persona is a disguise. On a side note, I love soohyun. I really want to like this because I started watching for LJS, and the chemistry b/n him and KSR is pretty intriguing. To me, the hero has always loved one person. i mean when they say in this drama everyone has a different heartbeat and when they test it and get it wrong in the end how dull would that be???? I love LJS but if PH is going to spend the entire show running around just trying to find JH, it annoys me.

She tries to take the bracelet back, but only ends up ripping it into two halves. They have chemistry, and in a rom-com format, I might have shipped them together too. And for a spy who should imitate after someone, wouldn't she have already seen that video and practiced all she needs even before coming over to SK? Its clear as blue sky now that Jae Hee has no intention in staying with Hoon after her mission. She said that she will be going back to Japan. Her coldness to Hoon in this episode mirrors her reactions in that flash back scene in episode 5 (Hoon chasing her inside the hospital while she intentionally avoided him). Her facial expressions in that scene showed contempt and disgust towards Park Hoon. After an article appeared in Korean ladies magazine . The writers went through the effort of keeping Jin Soo alive for the final showdown with Hoon & Jae Hee only for it to essentially mean nothing. Rate. Though I enjoyed the medical suspense part, the utterly obvious plot holes, illogical character development, and ridiculous storyline are just too much. That's like drama speak of "you're never getting with the male lead, girl!" Searches were done to search his body pretty soon. Afterall, not everyone enjoys or understands the mystery and plot. Director Jin Hyuk previously directed Brilliant Legacy (2009), City Hunter (2011), Master's Sun (2013). Song Jae Hee. Seriously I thought this heart beat thing is something I did not learn from my boring biology class!! Of course, Id be eating my own words to just dismiss this one as mere contrived conflict when the shows initial premise hinged upon the fact that stopping a nuclear annihilation rests upon a successful surgery. There was just a time-jump resulting in him being South Korea with no elaboration whatsoever. I never understood the other ship because the male lead was always a "mentor" to the 2nd female lead in my eyes. Somehow. It'd have been nice if we had more of that, because the memories PH has of JH, from what we see, it's so limited. Some were funny, some helped the main cast but overall Im not impressed by them.

One of them even remarks on how asinine it is for the president to trouble the man (Prime Minister Jang) who put him in office with the inquiry about his campaign funds, in a clear show of support for Jang. I couldnt decide if I wanted to give this -1 or -2 so I just went with -1.5. She was very annoying and Lee Jong-Suks character still pined over her. this was her worst scene ever in DrStanger [at least for me] she stood there with 1 expression on her face and her mouth and eyes wide open , even when she was holding PH's hand and about to fall in the river her eyes and face expression were the same, empty, not like a person who is about to die, thanks God jong suk was there to save that scene he made me cry, he broke my heart he made me feel his loss and pain. ), she hold her fist like she can't let her feeling own/rule her, and she did the same thing in this very current episode, ep 6. Im actually hoping he falls in love with her but i mean thats 99.9% out of the question so ill just not hope in that. In real medical practice, when you are the receiving kidney transplant "recipient", you will have two (2) kidneys on one (1) side of the body. but yeah honestly 16 eps is enough for me since im slow watching kdramas. Hi, at 5.34minutes in this episode, Dr.Han Seung Hee is wearing a wristband. Jae-joon pulls Hoon aside in order to tell him to get lost, making it a point to threaten him away from Soo-hyun. And considering the pace of the kdrama live shoot system, it's no wonder she's flat and emotionless when the role calls for more than the basics and requires a little extra in terms of nuances. I'll keep watching because I am a glutton for punishment and I have hope that it will make sense soon. Although, I have no idea what's north korea group plan for Hoon Gotta agree with everyone that KSR and LJS acting is tremendously top notch in every episode. Those scenes in NK, they've been replaying so many times over it is though those were the /only/ memories they had together. I do not approve of it. My experience watching Doctor Stranger can best be described by a quote from The Birdcage(1996), "How do you think I feel? ;). So Doctor Moon tries pulling some strings to get her medical records, but when he finds out just how illegal it is, he backs off. I was actually rooting for her and Hoon even though I kinda wanted Hoon to get his one true love back? I also liked that Hoon used to picture and practice his upcoming surgeries before-hand.

Connect with Facebook What I do like about Seung Hee is that her storyline, whether she's always been a spy, has been brainwashed or she's not Jae Hee at all, by its nature it has to be independent from Hoons. b). Indeed, one of the many reasons to how Hoon became the person that he is now, is largely because of Jae Hee too. Of course, Soo-hyun called her over so that he could apologize to her, only now hes too drunk to do much of anything. It just seems so over the top and borderline ridiculous at times. Why? I love her character she feels like a real human with emotions and I love how she is starting to feel for PH. And Jae-Hee is still making no sense - aside from the fact that brainwashing is largely a myth, why is she pretending to be someone else? With supernatural power, no less. Hopefully, she dies in this drama too. If Lee Jong-Suk wasnt the lead and someone else played Park Hoon, I dont think I would have liked the show as much. so, it only makes sense if she feels that dutiful to NK if she doesn't remember anything about Hoon to do what she is doing right now. Security is so lax that Agent Cha gets to just stand by in clear view and watch as Seung-hee accompanies Chang-yis suddenly-unconscious mother to the operating room. But she must have a reason to behave that way, did she turn her back to join force with the evil for revenge, is she trying desperately to protect Hoon in her way, either way I hope the writer will develop her story more in future eps. Hes been trained well by his father and is a great heart surgeon. My recommendation to her is to take a break and go on a long and nice holiday. Especially a person who has accepted her fate. They chose patients based on the level of difficulty of the surgery and not from a doctors concerned point of view. There's truly no accounting for taste. Its very difficult to grasp all of the different aspects between the characters, such as tone, choice of words, and expressions. He is most likely the one who bring both Hoon & Jae Hee to Korea. She tries very hard to be a good doctor even though she doesnt have the talent so that she can prove herself to her father, whos the chairman of the hospital. Soo-hyun tells her father that shes staying at Moms house tonightwhich isnt untrue, since Seung-hees house is Moms house. But while pursuing that and using Soo-Hyun for his goals since shes the chairmans daughter, he ends up falling in love with her and tries to suppress it. Leave aside the PM-Jang-and-comrade-Cha-are-bad, and that Hoon is somehow Super Important to them because of their guilty secretsbut how does it make any sense for Soo-hyun to be a part of Seung-hee's mission? I like soo hyun. If she had amnesia (it has to be right after the bridge, isn't it? This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. way beyond what can happen to a normal person. But before she can even turn her head, she focuses instead on Director Choi as he enters, recognizing him as the man who got her out of the prison camp. Its sad because he thinks that shes only acting this way because he didnt look for her, and he does everything but get on his knees to apologize. Seung-hee better have a great reason, in my eyes she has loads of redemption to do. Also, surgery masks are VERY good for showing off eye makeup! Theyre so obvious! Laughing awkwardly, Soo-hyun denies the claim, and explains that Hoon acted so strangely around Seung-hee because the dead woman he truly loves does look uncannily like her. And, it's really interesting to see pro Sora camp using the interaction excuse. For JH/PH, we were just told that they're in a relationship and that hoon is madly in love with JH. I don't know how this writer can create a show based on nothing but plot holes and unbelievable stuff..and yet here I am, happily taking it all in. I've watched her in 3 very different dramas: Gaksital, Age of Feeling, Doctor Stranger. Sometimes when leads don't have chemistry, it's fine because the storyline is engaging, but wow dr stranger had a frustrating storyline PLUS Park Hoon and Jae Hee had zero chem. His quest to find her is what keeps the wheel turning, and JSY's flat portrayal more or less deflates that wheel. I dropped it as soon as I reached the part where Park Hoon meets his old flame at the hospital like.. why? Lets hope I didnt forget everything about this show because I watched it months back lol. Soo-hyun accompanies Hoon for a drink, and tries to get him to see that Seung-hee isnt the person he thinks she is by showing him her online profile. May 4, 2014. . JSY is too young, barely gets out of teenage, to have the experience needed for the complex character. Where Soo-hyun is wearing only a towel. Soo-hyun claims shes jealous, and gets this faraway look in her eyes as she wonders how nice it must be for Jae-hee to have someone who cares about her so much. But Prime Minister Jang is being closely watched by the presidents spies, and knows that arranging a covert meeting with Chairman Oh will be risky. Im betting Seung-hee is Jae-hee, since we know the stopped heart as death fakeout was already done so it's possible for a repeat. But yeah, the fact that I can name only three probably means our Soo-hyun is to be consigned to the same fate as Chilbongie. By doing that, the writer tries to build the suspension but instead, it goes backfire. ", http://www.dramabeans.com/2014/04/doctor-stranger-gets-a-perm/. Even though hes flooded with memories of Jae-hee, he finally treats Seung-hee like a separate person in order to apologize for his drunkenness the night before. Thanks. How much emotion can she really bring to the table? Doctor Stranger || Kdrama Review - the wordy habitat So Hoon pulls Seung-hee aside again, trying everything he can go get her to acknowledge him. The way you described it eyes wide open, empty expression is exactly what I would describe a person that is about to die would probably have. He also got shot and fell into the lake.

Probably the most entertaining one of the bunch airing right now but I can't say I love it. i hope she doesnt lose that by becoming a biotch. I recommended this show to a close friend of mine who didn't watch kdramas back then and she said it was way too dramatic and dropped it after the first episode. But I seriously don't see it as such. And how? It was tragic, poignant, but in the spirit of the show. Jin Se Yeon will be playing Song Jae Hee, the first love of Park Hoon whom he met in North Korea, and also play the role of Han Seung Hee, an anesthesiologist that possesses the same face as Song Jae Hee, but holds a mysterious identity.

Going back to Hoon and Jae Hee, I like for the fact that Hoon's love is more than just vanilla romance, that it has a dimension of dependency to it as well. i thought this drama was more how hoon get in a love traingle and how succeeds as doctor not about conspiracy about every old man that is in this drama.. and that thing with the heartbeat is also really how should i put it, dense?? Watching Hoon wander through his scenes in a constant state of mental breakdown felt like watching someone go through a bad breakupand in that way, those closest to Hoon treated him like he just hadnt come to accept The Truth yet. On the 26th, the production team released stills of Jin Se Yeon playing two characters in the upcoming SBS Monday-Tuesday drama "Doctor Stranger" that will air its first episode on May 5. Hoon is definitely no angel, as he himself have done countless immoral practices of medicine, which arguably fast-tracked his growth and in part made him the genius doctor that he is now.

I know that its supposed to show Hoon as the only good doctor who cared about the patients and Jae-Joon as someone willing to do anything to climb ranks and destroy the hospital, but still.
