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. 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? 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. 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 whole "I don't want to admit I helped to find Chang Yi's mom until I find Seung Hee" explanation sounds dodgy. Bacolods The Ruins Picturesque Burnt Remains of aTragic Past, Doctor Stranger Episode 18 - Jae Joon Is Entrusting Soo Hyun to Hoon | Empress Of Drac, All Rights Reserved | Empress Anessee Digital 2022. version : 'v2.2' // use version 2.2 FB.init({ I remember that feeling clearly. There is a solemnity in that scene. What did you think of Doctor Stranger? We never really got to know Jae-hee anyway, and Seung-hee is totally taking cold and calculating to another level, even playing with Chang-yi's mum's life just to do a mission for her country *sigh* 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? While this show isnt as compelling as other shows starring Lee Jong-Suk (that Ive seen), it is still good enough in terms of characters. It is much more interesting. I also liked that Hoon used to picture and practice his upcoming surgeries before-hand. Their NK scenes were cute, but i felt it wasn't enough. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Back to Soo Hyun, the pro camp kept repeating that the couple is very cute together. If he pursues one side, the other isnt possible. I like both Hoon and Soo Hyun as characters and they are the easiest to root for in the show, by far. Seung-hee better have a great reason, in my eyes she has loads of redemption to do. Am not too concerned, let the plot show its face when it shows its face! None of the doctors can figure out why Chang-yis mom keeps fading in and out of consciousness, and for once Hoon chooses to leave his Genius on the back burner so he can look just as confused as everyone else. 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. Okay so lets see the plot holes that annoyed me so much, it almost ruined the whole story because these dont make sense. window.fbAsyncInit = function() { She had to have her father's kidney transplanted into her to survive, so technically she has just one kidney. what's the point of all the sacrifices they've made if PH just ends with another girl. Park Hae-jin as Han Jae-joon / Lee Sung-hoon Kim Ji-hoon as young Lee Sung-hoon and because Hoon appears so loyal to me that it's hard to imagine him to fall for someone else. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Only to see that Seung-hee does have two kidneys. I liked how LJS looked so lost and helpless and in denial when SH insisted she isn't JH, but I thought an entire episode of that was too much. That was what I thought too! she's not a cat with nine lives, scriptwriter.

Is Jae Hee Still Alive? 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? Doctor Stranger EP 2 Eng Sub - The South Korea Embassy in North Korea rejects Hoon and Jae Hee's application for asylum despite the fact that they are being hunted by the North Korean officials. He comes across . By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform. Unbeknownst to her, Jae-joon is watching from a distance. 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. Like, in the end, hoon and soo hyun will fall in love with each other and will actually end up together.

Its a rarity and definitely a fortunate turn of role casting for KSR. Chang-yi all but pouts when she hears this, wishing more than anything that Hoon would just forget about Jae-hee.

But Seung-hees patience reaches its breaking point when Hoon tries to keep her with him at the expense of one of her patients, causing her to slap him back to realitynothing should be as important to a doctor as their patient, she barks, which is something he should understand if he claims to be a doctor. Hoon replies as if she said nothing, and tells her what hed just been thinking about how everyones heartbeats are different. . 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?? How much emotion can she really bring to the table? After offering Soo-hyun her mothers old room, Seung-hee comments about how close Soo-hyun and Hoon seem to be, implying that their relationship is romantic. Thanks for the recap HeadsNo2. Luckily Nightshade knows whats up, and has a plan to take care of business. well, no i dont need that. History Do you want to see them on their first date, first kiss, first whatever before believing they are in a relationship? ok, but there's still this: how did Hoon even get from Budapest to South Korea, then, after the dropping-Jae-hee-off-the-bridge thing? He seems to also be orchestrating Hoon into the hospital for some other purpose. It kept me interested, wanting to know her identity and reasons no matter what her identity is. 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. Only a few times did I see hersmileand look sad but that also didnt look genuine, somehow. But yes, whatever, I'm here to stay. Im doing thispoint-wiseso that you know exactly what I liked and how much I liked it. Unfortunately, her designated guy pal Jae Joon is still seemingly lacking any worthwhile characterization and his motivations make him a rather odd one out of the love quadrangle. These days, people are so quick to jump the bandwagon of "first love trope is so overused, why can't he end up with the second lead? I've watched her in 3 very different dramas: Gaksital, Age of Feeling, Doctor Stranger. Btw although d-day sounds like it has to much going om a lot of med students have praised it for att least the medical part is realistic. I love her character she feels like a real human with emotions and I love how she is starting to feel for PH. Over 868 TV Time users rated it a 19.6/10 with their favorite characters being Lee Jong-suk as Park Hoon, Kang So-ra as Oh Soo-Hyun and Jin Se-yun as Song Jae-Hee / Han Seung-Hee. She has no family so I don't see what possible hold that North Korea could have on her. Hoon brushes him off with his usual cavalier attitude, and asks if Jae-joon means he has to steer clear of the quack., Thats when Jae-joon grabs him by the lapels, all but growling into his face that he cant call Soo-hyun a quack. Rate. I have not watched Doctor Romantic actually, and haven't tried D-Day nor Hospital Ship. 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. She should have 3 kidneys if she received a transplant Diseased kidneys are usually left in place, and the new transplant usually stuck in the lower abdomen. It beats the alternative of the audience knowing all the secrets way ahead of timebecause spending episode after episode waiting for the hero to figure out what we already know is a formula that undoubtedly works, but one thats also a lot like knowing who the winner is before the race even starts. I will mention the details of the plot holes in a spoiler section below. In South Korea, Park Hoon begins to work as doctor . idk how do you guys feel about that pairing. -_-, I watched the 2 episodes confused and trying to find clues about the ruined"mission" Sunghee and Agent Cha were talking about, it's ruined and I haven't even figured it out. Two, how did Jae-hee survive the fall the first time in Budapest? * Beside, she's just an ok actress not a genious young actress that is able to pull out the double roles. The North Korean scenes were nice but by far not enough considering what happened afterwards. (Ofc, Tae-oh is more of an exception since he plays as the primary villain as opposed to TOP's or SJR's side-character parts, therefore we get to see him grow and display more emotions too, which Seung Hee should be given the chance as well). He didnt, which brings us to another flashback of Agent Cha undergoing brutal torture in the DPRK as a result of Hoons escape. This is a very complex character to play and casting JSY in it is not a good choice. I love LJS but if PH is going to spend the entire show running around just trying to find JH, it annoys me. 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. She legit sat with medical books and tried to understand the problem and all of the theory when any new case came up. (But the preview of episode 7 looks promising with the premises moving back to the hospital and doctors and surgeries, so all is good for now). But when she merely blinks confusingly, Hoon asks desperately, Cant you recognize me?. 4 Hoon . That was our plan from the start.". There goes my weekly dose of Doctor Stranger and discussing it with all the wonderful people here. On the plus side, I'm now more encouraged to finish watching Man to Man with Park Hae Jin (even though I probably shouldn't as the FL has no chemistry with him). This woman says she does not know Park Hoon and acts quite cold towards him. Father and daughter share a moment as she sheds a few tears in his arms, and hes sweet enough to even wipe away her tears. i dont know what to say i dont really like it how it progresses. Dream High, That Winter The Wind Blows, and Biscuit Teacher Star Candy, if anyone's interested in knowing. Which leads me to the second point--2) JSY lacks intensity, hence she comes out FLAT. I don't want him to be one-dimensional.

Somehow. The two characters Jin Se Yeon plays have direct opposite atmospheres about them in the revealed pictures. I need more to feel more, but I doubt we'll get that since the show has obviously moved on from establishing that. Entire scenes were spent kind-of-maybe-not-really trying to paint a picture of the Big Conspiracy going on, and if the point was merely to show us that there is a conspiracy without revealing anything about said conspiracy, then mission accomplished: were still confused. 239 Views. Im 100% with you on the chemistry from the imaginary surgery scene. Do I see lots of interaction? As of July 7, 2014 it has been streamed close to 400 million times. It lessens his character, one with unique background and dark history of being a doctor in the NK human lab. She can't be just the love interest, there has to be more going on with her or the whole plot doesn't work. Most of time the 1st girl doesn't like him back but then gets jealous when he notices the heroine and she turns into a b*tch. Park Hoon and Hae Joon prepare for the surgery of the newborn twins and deal with the obstacles of procuring a team to go ahead with the surgery. Through chance circumstances, he gets hired as a surgeon in Myungwoo University Hospital andmeets an anesthesiologist by the name Han Seung-Hee who looksexactlylike Hoons Song Jae-Hee. The rest of the plot is centred around two other leadsHan Jae-Joon and Oh Soo-Hyun who are also doctors at the hospital. He calls her to ask where she is like he doesnt know, and she lies that shes at her mothers house and needs some time to think. 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. Rate. *but the actors have such good chemistry omw), But you forgot that Soo-hyun kissed another guy! 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. Master's Sun script started out kinda promising and then it got so ridiculous towards the end. One heartbeat A love that even Fate cannot separate! I hope thats metaphorical, because if he can recognize her by her heartbeat, I might have to laugh out loud. She wanted to live as her real person after the plot is d. Thanks for the recap, I was watching this drama and had high hopes for it, but I can't watch it anymore. Hoon, just by touching the patients chest, was able to picture the heart and immediately determine whats wrong. Doctor Stranger will airs its first episode on May 5, with writer Park Jin Woo, who wrote the robust script that PD Jin Hyuk, who is a magician of this complex genre, will demonstrate in the drama. After watching three shows of his and loving all of them, I decided Im bingeing the shows in which hes a lead.

She was very annoying and Lee Jong-Suks character still pined over her. Just because I enjoy Soohyun's character more doesn't make me pro-Sora or anti-JSY. I think it's a twin- like in the Master's Sun. 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. When he is finally able to return to South Korea, he begins working at a hospital. xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page The ending will also make you tear out your hair. Gacha. Thanks. He is a highly-ranked North Korean government official sent to kill Park Hoon alongside Han Seung-hee (Jae-hee) The character was portrayed by Park Hae-Joon.

TV Time - Doctor Stranger S01E03 - Is Jae Hee Still Alive? (TVShow Time) HOWEVER the rest of the show was awful. In South Korea, Park Hoon begins to work as doctor in a top hospital Myungwoo University Hospital. It was a never ending one -upmanship in the hospital and as said by others, the ML and FL (who I was surprised was the FL and not Kang Sora) had zero chemistry. A great majority of them only do one or two dramas a year, using the time between those dramas to recharge, reaccess their performance and evaluate how they can improve themselves. I dont know. He hopes that hell be able to ask her mother when she wakes up. to be fair to YFAS, Master's Sun and I Hear Your Voice, especially the latter, the characters are written way more complex than just 'bad' or 'good'.
Cha Jin-soo | Villains Wiki | Fandom 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.
