In fact, theres more of all that than romance. I kept trying to like her, or at least be meh about her because she was Hoons love (assuming shes Jae-Hee) and I liked Hoon. The whole SeungHee/JaeHee reminds me the Chinese movie Black Cat (similar to the well-known French's Nikita or American's Point of No Return) In Black Cat, the female lead was dead then was revived and a chip was inserted in her brain to make her a killer. Other than the romance, the drama is about political corruption, revenge, secret assassinations and medical drama. in fact, i didn't enjoy it because somehow it felt more unnatural. But Hoon isnt interested in getting his job back and only wants to see Seung-hee, who started working at the main hospital as of today. As a child, a man and his father are kidnapped and brought to North Korea. It's not really her fault so much as the roles she gets. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts, Lifetime fan of the Professional Organisation Mods Truck of Doom. But the prime minister gets a visitor in the bathroom, and one he seems quite familiar with: Agent Cha. The actors and actresses performances are really commendable except the one lead (JSY) whos acting is just too stiff. Some plot lines just really didn't add up and I find myself confused by the end of each episode. A Good Supper (MBC, 2021); Blessing of the Sea (MBC, 2019); Voice 2 (OCN, 2018) cameo; You Are Too Much (MBC, 2017) Only, when he nods off again, we see that Seung-hee really was sitting there, having been called by Soo-hyun. This is the one drama I tell people NOT to watch if they're just starting out. Four, how did Hoon and Jae-hee survive the fall the second time in the last episode? Add to it, I kept thinking LJS and Kang Sora will get together because they had real chemistry not the leads but no. C'mon. 6. Messing it up! I think one big problem with the Hoon-Jae-Hee/ Seung-hee relationship is that we have not really see them interact. Shes Jae-hee.. Jae-joons calls to Soo-hyun go unanswered, as we find her and Hoon thoroughly trashed from one (or five) too many bottles of soju. She could quite easily defect and bring the whole weird nest of plotters down, so what is holding her back? Its not realistic, especially since it happened ALL THE TIME. 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. (S01E03) is the third episode of season one of "Doctor Stranger" released on Mon May 12, 2014. But you forgot that Soo-hyun kissed another guy! Sure. How did they escape and why didnt they tell anyone??? 59min. Although they did get back together Miss Korea was pretty realistic about how the main couple weren't and couldn't be the same people they'd been in high school. I only liked Lee Chang-Yi (whos like a younger sister to Hoon in present-day) because she was cute and level-headed, and Moon Hyung-Wook (Hoons direct boss in the hospital) who was there mostly for humour purposes. In. Download the latest version here. Then, I decided to try Doctor Stranger and went in with low expectations because I hadnt heard much praise for this one. LOL, yes, Kang So-ra is playing her very well, i admit. Hes a skilled surgeon who graduated as a top medical student from Harvard. K1ngkang v2. 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?? Doctor Stranger - Episode 3. If Lee Jong-Suk wasnt the lead and someone else played Park Hoon, I dont think I would have liked the show as much. idk how do you guys feel about that pairing. I personally think she is Jae Hee, but there is always a chance that she isn't. Firstly, from the first few episodes, the bracelet Hoon gave to Jae Hee in the beginning was in her possession. That whole heartbeat thing was total BS. Then of course his magical lurve will unlock the amnesia part of her noggin, then there will be tears, and noble idiocy and angst and possible more "death". She was equally upset when she broke it, even though she covered it up. As Song Jae Hee, Jin Se Yeon shows off a bright and pure image of a female student with her long hair, clean school uniform and her fair smile, making people think of the first love image. I couldnt decide if I wanted to give this -1 or -2 so I just went with -1.5. I work really hard while acting as Song Jae Hee to show a child that is endlessly bright and pure; while acting as Han Seung Hee, I have to emotionally satisfy many things in order to make it seem as if there are many stories stored inside of her eyes., Jin Se Yeon then promised Though there is a lot of burden playing two characters as I still lack in many areas, it would be nice if people watched over me as I exert myself. I'd pretty much want him to be left alone, to move on from his first love. I would definitely like to see Soo Hyun grow more as a person as she continues to interact with Hoon and also admire his devotion to both saving lives and Jae Hee. He further confuses Doctor Moon when he tells him that Jae-hee isnt in the Northshes here. i believe they're in a relationship, i just don't believe in their relationship. with so much Soo Hyun and Hoon moments, I keep thinking that she's the main girl lead. He is most likely the one who bring both Hoon & Jae Hee to Korea. Actors take breaks for a reason. Another gripe: At this point I have little interest in what happens to Jae Hee. In China, the online streaming rights for drama were sold for $80,000 per episode and the drama was made available for online streaming on both Youku and Tudou where it received 330 million and 50 million views, respectively. Thanks. Whenever things went wrong in his head, he started over until he was sure that he can perform the surgery successfully. The actor also played it that he always had a playful and a bit tyrannical vibe with his much put upon secretary while his interaction with his female lead was a lot more layered. Can you tell me what it is and what brand? Ive made it to halfway through ep 16 and I just cant make myself watch any more. In the background, mystery regarding Dr. Han Seung Hee's and Officer Cha's mission is brought into light. They both really do fit together and Jae Joon really likes her. Rate. Doctor Stranger is currently the only drama outta the current bunch thats got me hooked. This website is still under development. I kept cooking up theories. 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. Soo-hyun tells her father that shes staying at Moms house tonightwhich isnt untrue, since Seung-hees house is Moms house. She adamantly refuses that shes Jae-Hee but Hoon doesn't accept that, believing that she is Jae-hee. As a child, Park Hoon (Lee Jong-suk) and his father Park Cheol (Kim Sang-joong) were tricked and sent to North Korea. While a lot of us can spot the obvious stuff, that is something I doubt any of us knew. But Nightshade wants to see her other skills. Please enter your username or email address. The spy element is once again in full throttle with todays episode, driving the plot in at a break neck pace towards an intriguing reveal, as were ever closer yet so darn one-kidney-short in finally finding out Seung Hees true identity. Because of that, Agent Cha asks Prime Minister Jang to use a little muscle to get Chairman Oh to accept Hoon back, otherwise their plan is over. I love her character she feels like a real human with emotions and I love how she is starting to feel for PH. In North Korea, Park Hoon was trained to become a doctor by his father who was already a famous doctor. It was a bittersweet moment for sure but they left the bridge united once more - when Hoon mentioned his regret at having let go in Hungary it just seemed right that that marked an ending of sorts. And although Hoon's undying love for Jaehee is killing me, I still want him with Dr. Quack. I certainly hope they do not spend the rest of the show just showing LJS trying to find JH. This was one of the first kdramas I ever watched and completed. Im sure even the police would have been called and searches would have been done. FB.init({ - The whole "I don't want to admit I helped to find Chang Yi's mom until I find Seung Hee" explanation sounds dodgy. And I can't see how Seung Hee is not Jae Hee. i hope she doesnt lose that by becoming a biotch. And why in the preview did the how many kidneys thing come up yet again? There is that sense of mutuality not only in feelings but also identity to both that I like, and would want to be explored some more. since this drama contains so many plot holes and impossible-things- could- happen in this drama, maybe,,, despite of a kiss with another man, Soo-hyun could end up with Hoon and Hoon and Soo-hyun can show more swoon worthy kisses. But them becoming a couple is just too convenient for me. On the one hand, Im glad the show is presenting its mystery through Hoons point of view, since we literally only know as much as he does at any given moment. The thing is, we're just thrown a lot of facts about them and we're supposed to just take it that they're madly in love with each other, without really feeling it. He also got shot and fell into the lake. Hi, at 5.34minutes in this episode, Dr.Han Seung Hee is wearing a wristband. Still I have a weakness for Hoon & Jae Hee story, I want them to be together so bad after everything they've gone through. what about her scene as Jae hee in Budabet at that bridge where she & park hoon were surrounded by men with guns wanted to kill them ? 8. To that end, I do believe that JSY lacks the gravitas to play out serious characters such as Seung Hee, she's just not at home to that entire demeanor of villainy. That is not to say that there is already definite proof to confirm that Jae Hee is Seung Hee after all, not quite yet, nor do I believe that Park Hoon will be getting any concrete evidence this early on either. And I love this OST it gives me so much feels. For him to give up on her, is like giving up a part of what makes Hoon, Hoon. [3] Due to the drama's success in China there are currently plans to edit the drama into a film and release it theatrically exclusively in China with an alternate ending. I don't need specific details, but I thought it'd be good if they could have included one or two more scenes of them together. On one hand, hes furious about his parents, but on the other, hes now in love with Soo-Hyun. Its time for another Korean drama review! Take away the names and the different settings of each drama, I see the same person with the same limited expressions. fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); I suspect a certain segment of audience would appreciate being told what is going on rather than sit back and enjoy the mystery plot. I'll be praying on your behalf. that scene when park hoon is beggin her her to remember him and how he is sorry that that he couldn't find her sooner how he goes on to explain that he did so much to look for her that scene is so heart breaking imagine you wait for some one you love so much and when you finally see them that person refuses to have ever known you let alone love you,,how much it would hurt and angry one would be. My take is Seung Hee is not Jae Hee. And in that way shell get him back to Myungwoo Hospital, because if she goes, hell want to follow. - How is it that he's able to flit b/n N Korea and S Korea so easily? It's like there's a conspiracy but the conspiracy isn't there. Agent Cha hands Nightshade records of Chang-yis mom going in and out of a coma as proof of Seung-hees skills.. I can name three dramas where the heroine (most definitely the heroine in that case) kissed someone who was not the other half of her OTP, but eventually got the boy anyway, and one of those dramas is sorta linked to both Kang Sora and Lee Jong-seok - she starred in the sequel, and the writer of that drama went on to write a drama he starred in that I think we all know ;). Rate. After an article appeared in Korean ladies magazine . Only a few times did I see hersmileand look sad but that also didnt look genuine, somehow. Hoon has some impossible abilities( X ray eyes and hands and super hearing ability like dogs), just like Soo-ha's from IHYV. That little detail has never been explained. Couldn't he put his jealousy aside? While Soo-hyun tries and fails to stop Hoon, Seung-hee tells Agent Cha that he made the right choice in letting her show herself. And if I go further, the same can also be said of Hoon's current state in SK--he's a stranger both literally and metaphorically, as he lives in a world that he's long since forgotten, and his quest to finding Jae Hee is what anchors him back to his reality. Maybe because of Jin Se-Yeon's overlapping filming schedules with "Age of Youth", the outline of serveral episodes was affected and to be written into the plot in a logical way. not that I'm complaining, love her character to bits!. If shes Jae-hee, why did she hide her true identity from Hoon? So yeah, probably right time to bring on a huge revelation. The rest of the plot is centred around two other leadsHan Jae-Joon and Oh Soo-Hyun who are also doctors at the hospital. Seung-hee better have a great reason, in my eyes she has loads of redemption to do. Judging by the ep 7 preview, things do seem to bode for the better. Why, though? 239 Views. That's like drama speak of "you're never getting with the male lead, girl!" Of course, thats if the Seung-hee persona is a disguise. Thats where Chairman Oh finds her to tell her that hes given Hoon another chance, even though he claims it was her who changed his mind and not the prime minister. After that, Ill live as Song Jae-hee. For me it has always been more of the "Don't forget you're a doctor" part that I want more of, instead of "I NEED MY ONE TRUE LOVE". and yeah, all these people after hoon like wtfcalm the eff down. While Seung-hee sneaks something Kevorkian into Chang-yis moms IV, Agent Cha reports to Nightshade that Seung-hee was successful in the surgery. 3. I already wish this show will defy convention and make Soo Hyun the lead lady.

Thus while I can see this drama worming itself happily in all sort of plot holes, but I don't think it will give us what we want in term of Hoon and Soo-Hyun kisses. This might end up like rooftop prince. When Hoon tries to follow her, Soo-hyun has to physically hold him back. My Girl. If she's Jae Hee, why would she needs to copy her own gestures? SeungHee is JaeHee. 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. The ending will also make you tear out your hair. Press J to jump to the feed. Why must it be him? Ha.

Just to clarify, I'm not pro-Sora. I liked him well enough but I HATED the other main character. Theyre so obvious! On the other hand, even though I'm not a Kang So Ra fan, I like her character here, and she has great chemistry with Lee Jong Suk. The stylist must have been horrified. Not so sure about that - for one thing, where did the video come from? It is much more interesting. JSY is too young, barely gets out of teenage, to have the experience needed for the complex character. If she still had two kidneys, there would have been no need for Hoon to "kill" her father by taking his one remaining kidney to give to his daughter. the virtual jae hee that dr park sketched on us and how much we love them together because of it,,,,, has made me really excited about actually seeing them on the screen,, would it be as wonderful as dr park had made us picture it to be or i don't want to jinx it so i don't even utter the otherwise .i want to love them together on the screen please please ooze so much romance that our hearts keep pounding until the follow up episode 4 Hoon .

Since I did not really notice the songs in this show and dont care to listen to them specifically, I dont have a section for my favourite songs. I've seen her do well in vibrant roles before, but being cold and monotonous only serves to compound on her weakness. When faced with the actual face of his first and only love, poor Hoon seems to be no exception to the adage that love makes fools of us all, since hes only capable of stitching up just about everything but his own broken heart.

My theory is opposite-so far: Hoon finds out she is Jae Jee when he listens to her heart (second kidney and all)-but with the revelation-realizes there's a reason she's pretending, especially since this all involves North Korea, so he decides to keep quiet and pretend she's not Jae Jee in order to protect her until he can find out what it's all about.
