I want to watch the tension between PH and JJ, not over Soohyun, but over what being a doctor means to both of them. ), 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. makibao111. Why? Reviews: 1 user. There's just soooo much dramaland logic I can't imagine watching something like that with my current brain. Doctor Stranger || Kdrama Review - the wordy habitat The plan goes awry and Hoon crosses alone. Hoon has some impossible abilities( X ray eyes and hands and super hearing ability like dogs), just like Soo-ha's from IHYV. Is it me or does heads pick shows which are very unique and good in the beginning and lose their brains later? So the ending was actually more gratifying than it wouldve been just one episode ago, though Im not big on admitting that after an hour that was sluggishly grounded at best and frustratingly convoluted at worst. Soo-hyun stays behind while Doctor Moon takes him, looking disappointed to see him go. 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. Oh Soo-Hyun, on the other hand, was a really good lead. My theory is: Seung-hee is really a spy and not Jae-hee at all. There is a huge range of audience maturity which could also be influenced by age, culture and exposure just to list some factors. She did not donate one. He further confuses Doctor Moon when he tells him that Jae-hee isnt in the Northshes here. 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? Why must it be him? To me, Jae Hee never really felt like the heroine in the drama. or 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. Plot holes are when something did not make sense (not the same as the audience not understanding) or did not gel up with an earlier scene. I was very confused on the shipping side of things. I was confused as to why he was chosen and why they needed him. To further affirm that notion, give notice how SH falls under the good girl archetype and Jae Joon ends up being the villainous and equally covetous boyfriend when normally its the other way around. Completely agree with you. Doctor Moon intends to drag Hoon to the chairman to ask for forgiveness, only to be met by Hospital Director Choi, who Hoon instantly recognizes as the ajusshi who sent him to the DPRK as a child. Ha. They were the most expected couple. Anyway, that whole Seung Hee/Jae Hee story line is boring to me because I don't like Jin Se Yeon much as an actress. This is the first time I've watched her so I can't really tell. 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. (and thoughts), Just to correct some errors: (I have posted this on Koala Playground's site): http://koalasplayground.com/2014/05/20/dr-stranger-episode-6-recap/. js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; 26 May 2014 Episode #1.7. Director Choi tells the two that Chairman Oh has forgiven Hoon, but Hoon is less than enthused until Choi brings up his fatherand that if Hoon wants to be as good a surgeon as his father was, he still has much to learn.

Jae-Joon also lost his mother to grief. I'm knocking on wood on your behalf, Heads! Hes been trained well by his father and is a great heart surgeon. [Discussion] A Belated Opinion on the Ending of Doctor Stranger Just to clarify, I'm not pro-Sora. 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. She's just a doctor, not THE doctor stranger. I didn't realize a drama is supposed to convince you of a relationship or anything else. Hoon slams his fist down and storms out, refusing to hear more. And to that end, Im equally worried that this entire circus of connivance would end up falling flat on its face, that it makes the entire reason for Jae Hee to join the fold of both Koreas villains and their conspiracy just factitious. Well i got curious about it and Google information related to it and surprisingly, the heartbeat is actually unique! I like JSY and I recognize her limitations too and I'm glad that someone else is able to give a constructive criticism that doesn't go beyond the superficial "oh I like the other actress more, why can't she be the lead" mantra. 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. 1. The North Korean scenes were nice but by far not enough considering what happened afterwards.". Please enter your username or email address.

She falls unconscious again before she can answer, and Seung-hee takes over her care. Maybe he should fall in love with Dr Moon instead? 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. He hopes that hell be able to ask her mother when she wakes up. Alessandra Jungco. That little detail has never been explained. 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 ;). Three cheers for Hoon being proactive! I really enjoyed the drama because of the unique premise and think that LJS and JSY had great chemistry. but i dont get why some to break it down to 30 mins or so to 32 episodes like that dont make sense but okay. Lol but like u said that's 99.99% out of the question lol!!! 3. Take away the names and the different settings of each drama, I see the same person with the same limited expressions. Jin Se Yeon to Play Two Characters in "Doctor Stranger" - Soompi Sure I do. 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. Hoon remembers her kidney transplant (that he performed), which would leave the real Jae-hee with only one kidney. 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. I hope they end up together. 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. Do you want to see them on their first date, first kiss, first whatever before believing they are in a relationship? "Dr. Stranger" has also attracted attention for the quality of its cast: Lee Jong Suk, Jin Se Yeon, Park Hae Jin, and Kang Sora play the leading roles while guest roles include Cheon Ho Jin . Why is Jae-hee in heaven? You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Some were funny, some helped the main cast but overall Im not impressed by them. 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. For a moment even Soo-hyun looks lost, as she remembers the uncanny resemblance between the two but cant find a logical explanation as to what on earth is going on. How about that!? Seduce her Hoon and open her skirt =). Plus he's FIERCELY loyal to JH and it's so OOC for him to be falling for So Hyeon. Yeah to me there was only one end game from the beginning in there but that's b/c the writing was good and set it up so logically and emotionally resonant that I appreciate the ride of getting there the entire time. Whys he in Myungwoo, you ask? They both really do fit together and Jae Joon really likes her. boahh this draama is so confusing really awkward. to see him improve with each roll he takes on is so impressive). the Angel Eyes pairing were endearing in the young years, but when they were adults, the Goo Hye-sun character had partially moved on with her fiancee and all so I didn't feel as emotionally invested on that pairing. He tears through the house looking for her, and ends up opening the door to the bathroom. Let's wait it out until we know JH/Seung hee's motives before we decide. I mean, we thought that the heroine is good,but end up bad all along. Speaking of, Hoon wakes up to find framed pictures of Seung-hee hanging on the walls, and immediately thinks of Jae-hee. Another gripe: I tried watchingI Can Hear Your Voicebecause I saw a blog post that said hes amazing in it. 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. 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. But thats just a minor detail (admittedly one of many) that I can easily overlook as I'm loving this show so far! I don't really see how the old age is helpful. i only feel sad for the puppy fiancee. And I can't see how Seung Hee is not Jae Hee. Because her character isn't expressive by design and it takes special talent to give the proper nuances to break that monotony. The thing with Hoon-Jae Hee relationship is, we are told from day 1 that they're so in love with each other, while the portrayals of the actors indicate that Hoon does the loving part much more than Jae Hee. 170 Views. This video is currently unavailable. She tries to get him to listen to reason, since Seung-hee said she wasnt Jae-hee, but he wont, cant, accept it. I liked the is she Jae-Hee or is she Seung-Hee? debate I had throughout the show. I wonder if the PD likes to twist things around justfor the sake of it. It's a good thing there were Dr. Quack & Hoon cute scenes to give my little brain a break, and just when I started feeling torn between Jaejoon and Hoon (for Sohyun), he showed his greedy side and that stopped me from liking him too for Sohyun. 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.

Soohyun is about my favourite character in this series. To be fair for JSY and her character(s), Jae Hee is more of a plot device than a fully realized character, and Seung Hee gets held back a lot for the sake of being mysterious. No one gets a kidney transplant if they've got one good kidney left. Chairman Oh reminisces about Soo-hyuns mother fondly, claiming that, despite everything, his feelings for her mother were genuine. And Soo-hyun is awesome. 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. Rumors are spreading that Jin Se Yeon herself suggested the hairstyle for Han Seung Hee during her character study, making this the first time since her debut that Jin Se Yeon has bobbed hair, thus she is showing a different passion towards acting. Fortunately however, the more that Hoon tries to prod and affront her, chances are we're going to see more of her Jae Hee side and the emotions underneath. 3.

Hmm, she's a hotty alright,but I never seen her the scene in the less than 10 second, even if she have longer scene,half of her face was covered up with a mask~, Yes, she appeared in few scenes in episode 6, maybe if they gave her more scenes she will steel the show from the girls :)).

Soo-hyun agrees, but then makes the misstep of trying to toast to Jae-hee, whos in heaven.. However, he only gets Hoons attention when he shows him a picture of Jae-hee and that sympathetic Hungarian doctor. That being said, if Director Choi turns out to be yet another bad guy in the next episode, just pretend like I never said anything. Since then,hes been looking for Jae-hee. She throws things at him in response, and manages to knock him out cold with a flimsy plastic bowl. Convince me. 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. 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.

The big conspiracy has reached the point of being ridiculous, so I'm just going to tune it out as I do with the lack of realistic possibilities in the drama. May 4, 2014. . Just like how no two people have the same face. He thinks back to when he held Jae-hee to his heart and said that their heartbeats were the same. Lol! In my over a decade of watching Asian dramas, this is the very first bloody time that I love the 2nd female lead character (Oh Soo Hyun) and hate the first female lead (Jae Hee). I root for Soo Hyun like a lunatic that I want Jae Hee to disappear for good. Since on the day they were leaving for N. Korea, both father and son left home at the same time.

Thank goodness I had the foresight to make notes so this review might actually have some details. way beyond what can happen to a normal person. Its a rarity and definitely a fortunate turn of role casting for KSR. If Lee Jong-Suk wasnt the lead and someone else played Park Hoon, I dont think I would have liked the show as much. Let there be a twist in the plot. Of course don't get me wrong, shipping is totally fine, and I ship many drama couples too. I'll be praying on your behalf. So here it is anyways: I actually find that Hoon being in love with Jae Hee as more potent and teeming of narrative possibilities, that there is more depth into it to be explored other than the superficial 'first love', if the show chooses to do so. The oldest cliche in kdrama is how the hero was in love with one girl first then meets the heroine. 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. Hopefully, she dies in this drama too.
