definitely need more of it. But I do think it's probably about time for them to ease on the mystery a little. 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. My recommendation to her is to take a break and go on a long and nice holiday. No one gets a kidney transplant if they've got one good kidney left. 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. and because Hoon appears so loyal to me that it's hard to imagine him to fall for someone else. She seems disappointed in herself after hanging up, but doesnt return to her seat by the time Hoon comes to. I like for the fact that you try to go for the possible root of the problem and not just spout catch-phrases as if it's going to change anything. This drama was a mess. Jae-joon in surgery. Be sure to check out our sidebar for helpful info and resources! LOL, yes, Kang So-ra is playing her very well, i admit. After giving Hoon his doctors coat, Choi tells him that hell be going back to the North after taking care of business here, but refuses to allow Hoon to risk going with him. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. The head surgeon (currently the chairman) did not apologize at all. I just want the drama to explore more of Hoon as a person and a doctor, instead of having him wandering around all day, crying for his first love like he did in this episode. There were so many elaborate plots and set-ups for a seemingly small thing. One of the main plotlines revolves around requiring Hoon to do the heart surgery of the vice president, which was weird for a long time. Right now, I don't want PH to end up with Soohyun, but neither do I want him to end up with Jaehee. I want to watch how PH is going to survive the conspiracy - whatever the conspiracy is. Meanwhile, he found a girl that looks exactly like Jae-hee, Doctor Han Seung-hee, who claims not to know Park Hoon. It's not Hoon's fault, it's the fault of the scriptwriter. Director Jin Hyuk previously directed Brilliant Legacy (2009), City Hunter (2011), Master's Sun (2013). She thinks hes there to apologize and tells him he doesnt need to, since she heard the story from Soo-hyun and understands what hes going through. everyone is saying that JH taking the bullet for PH is enough evidence that she loves him, i'm having doubts about that though - if she was a spy right from the start? There was just a time-jump resulting in him being South Korea with no elaboration whatsoever. I'm stocking up Internet liquor just in case for you, Heads=P. Hoon tries making her feel better by mentioning that she has Jae-joon (with a big nose, ha) to do the same for her. For JH/PH, we were just told that they're in a relationship and that hoon is madly in love with JH. I think it's about time for them to reveal at least a little what this entire conspiracy is about, because for now, it doesn't make much sense. or Rate. Name: / Jae Hee (Jae Hui) Real name: / Lee Hyun Kyoon (Lee Hyeon Gyun) Profession: Actor Birthdate: 1980-May-25 (age 42) Height: 178cm Weight: 63kg Star sign: Gemini Blood type: O Family: Wife and one son Talent agency: Star K Entertainment TV Shows. Rate. This episode continues the charade from yesterdays already confounding show, as it raises still more questions. 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. 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. Unfortunately for him, shes got other plans. All the things around Jae-hee are just impossibility. Dr. I found one recurring thing unbelievable. I mean, who wouldn't? I just watched this for LJS but this really sucked. May 4, 2014. . Coming with a completely different storyline,Han Jae-Joon held his own on screen against Hoon and Soo-hyun. I watched Doctor Stranger only because of Lee Jong-Suk. Shes alive, damn it! He stumbles to his feet, and Soo-hyun has to grab him before he falls. Doctor Stranger broke my heart because it had a really cool premise and I thought the first episode was great. First loves seems to be a cure-all for all romantic inclinations. and yes Seung Hee must be Jae Hee, otherwise there'd be no drama/angst. Jin Se Yeon to Play Two Characters in "Doctor Stranger" - Soompi The reason she says she'll live as Jae-hee after the surgery is so that N. Korea can keep have an eye on Park Hoon and "threaten" him using fake Jae-hee whenever they need anything. Maybe you will like the Good dr as well. So Hoon pulls Seung-hee aside again, trying everything he can go get her to acknowledge him. although I strongly doubt she will become" Talented" in 1 week, you either have it or don't . Shippy or not, I hope they remain friends. i can see the soft side of jae-joon and it's going to be an interesting character arc for him to choose the love of his life as opposed to his career/ambitions. There, Seung-hee poses for pictures with Not Jae-hees Parents, since Hoon distinctly remembers Jae-hees father as he asked him to save his daughters life. Doctor Stranger: Episode 10 Dramabeans Korean drama recaps But when theyre (mostly) alone, she tells Hoon that despite the similarities, Seung-hee isnt Jae-hee, because she saw Jae-hee die with her own eyes. 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. Chairman Oh reminisces about Soo-hyuns mother fondly, claiming that, despite everything, his feelings for her mother were genuine. i loved this episode every bit of it . the pace has slowed down way too much thats probably because i am more a movie person rather than series. i am not one of those who can take the anticipation thats probably the reason why i loved the first two episode where things happened quick and there were unexpected twist at every turn which only made it even more interesting for me and got me hooked on to the show permanently. from ep 5 on the show has ceratinly slowed down may be it is finally time to fit the zigsaw bit by bit. and while doing so the drama now has caught on to the romantic side of it by bring in jae hee completely into the picture which i am loving so so much.. i was afraid that we would barely get to see her but am grateful that it is doesn't happen to be so instead acc to the preview we will get to see more of hoon and jae hee which is super awesome dont' let me down show. 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. I also felt the 'hanging over the bridge' drama was overdone - it was pretty gutwrenching in Episode 2 but repeating it just seemed a little cheesy and took away from the gravity of the original scene. HOWEVER the rest of the show was awful. Take Vick (IRIS) who was played by TOP and Kim (Two Weeks) by Song Jae Rim or even Ryu Tae-oh (Gap Dong) by Lee Joon, these characters also fall under the same cold murderous villain archetypes, they too wear almost the same facade all the time. The close contact unsettles her, and while Hoons eyes are closed she reaches out to brush her fingers against his cheek. Also, if weird things occur such as you, rooting for the 2nd female lead for the first time in your over a decade of voraciously consuming gazillion of drama series, you just couldnt stop because it is such a bloody mystery that needs to be solved. I want SH and Hoon together so bad!!! They'd even dated [i]gasp[/i] other people. but really, in all seriousness, Hoon better end up with Jae-hee. But Nightshade wants to see her other skills. Shes Jae-hee.. shes so cute with her dimples and cheeks and more endearing. 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. If I didn't know better, based on all the skinship moments and her screentime I'd have said she was the female lead of the series. But then north korean superspy will become the radiographer and super swaps the resulting scan to leave Dr Park in the dark. Maybe he should fall in love with Dr Moon instead? I was very confused on the shipping side of things. I don't think the writers are lost. If you dont believe me, shoot me.. 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 did take me a while to get into it. I also don't get the hate JSY has been getting. Hoon wont listen when Soo-hyun says that Seung-hee is ignoring him because she doesnt know him, and asks Soo-hyun how she can believe that when she saw the video of Jae-hee. It's nice to see the "good" 2nd lead in a K drama being the female one too--often if there's a "bad" and a "good" (rather than both bad or both good), it's the man that's good. Can you tell me what it is and what brand? Reply to May too since the reply button is missing from her post. JaeHee/SeungHee is especially a very difficult role to play - the character is equally complicated and goes through a lot as much as the titular Dr Hoon - definitely not a role suitable for a novice. Its very difficult to grasp all of the different aspects between the characters, such as tone, choice of words, and expressions. Doctor Stranger Review - The Drama Sanctuary not that I'm complaining, love her character to bits!. This is the first time I've watched her so I can't really tell. The show is forcing us to believe in the Hoon-Jaehee relationship but not showing us enough about WHY we should believe in it. Soo-hyun is left with a devastated Hoon after Seung-hee leaves, and she gently coaxes him away as she promises to help him arrange another meeting with his maybe-love. At this point I have little interest in what happens to Jae Hee. In both characters that I mentioned above, you can definitely see them focused on whatever murderous intent that they are trying to convey. This video is currently unavailable. XD Ive made it to halfway through ep 16 and I just cant make myself watch any more. Doctor Stranger: Episode 6 Dramabeans Korean drama recaps Other than the romance, the drama is about political corruption, revenge, secret assassinations and medical drama. boahh this draama is so confusing really awkward. I've watched her in 3 very different dramas: Gaksital, Age of Feeling, Doctor Stranger. Thinking back she was right and I'm glad she didn't watch any more of the drama lolol. 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. I found her weird. Honestly, by the time the backstory and reasons were revealed, I still didnt care. Why go through all this shadow puppetry with a political storyline that has absolutely zero likable characters in it? Doctor Stranger - Episode 3. But at some points, the plot I spoke of above, did seem unnecessary and foolish. Though I enjoyed the medical suspense part, the utterly obvious plot holes, illogical character development, and ridiculous storyline are just too much. I did not feel anything between the two leads either, I honestly thought they'd not end up together while thinking Kang Sora was female lead. In this episode, Jae Hee also told Soo Hyun that Hoon is the reason why her father died. That Hoon killed her father to save her and shes not sure anymore if she can still continue loving him despite all the things that happened between them. Pleaseee i want to know. Haven't watched this too many episodes .. it's on my watchlist, for exclusive curated content & access to the resource library, Pretty Little ScribblesStuck in FictionThe Perks of Being NouraLeostheticsAlly Writes Things. But they were tricked and the father-son duo wasnt allowed to return to South Korea. Just to clarify, I'm not pro-Sora. 0:23. The plan goes awry and Hoon crosses alone. Even if the writer/director's intention was to make it unclear whether Soohyun or Jae Hee is the real female lead, I felt like Jae Hee was never a viable heroine (not that I think Soohyun is either. 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. ;). My theory is: Seung-hee is really a spy and not Jae-hee at all. I think it's both way though. I will mention the details of the plot holes in a spoiler section below. 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. Another gripe: 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.
