My OTP, please don't break my heart like the last time with Chilbong team T_T Let's wait it out until we know JH/Seung hee's motives before we decide. It's not like the rest of the main cast have been stellar. The potential of this series was so good but the execution was so poor, I couldnt bear to be even more disappointed so I just stopped.

He hopes that hell be able to ask her mother when she wakes up. His quest to find her is what keeps the wheel turning, and JSY's flat portrayal more or less deflates that wheel. They have chemistry, and in a rom-com format, I might have shipped them together too. So, instead of making me anticipated with the suspensions, the writer makes me frustrated and lose patience. In reality, how many of us have looked back to past boyfriends or old flames and asked ourselves (What did I see in him/her at the time?). When Agent Cha asks why she didnt just kill Chang-yis mom, Seung-hee says its because her death wasnt what Prime Minister Jang wanted. 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. 13.4K Views. JSY is too young, barely gets out of teenage, to have the experience needed for the complex character. Hoon slams his glass down. And please stop assuming that all the people who like Soohyun are pro-Sora/anti-JSY. 3. Copyright TV Time. Thats like drama speak of youre never getting with the male lead, girl! =/. Practicing? this probably sounds terrible, but i think SH/JH got into AMNESIAafter that dreaded fall on the bridge and FORGOT about her past with Hoon. Dr Moon if I'm not mistaken.. 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 :)). Park Hoon was able to flee to South Korea alone. In almost all of the Kdramas I have watched (and I have watched a great many these past few years), I noticed that Kdramas seem to be stuck on first loves. 0:23. (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). 42 Views. It is like the black hole of plot holes. A verification email has been sent to your new email address. 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.

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. I want to argue that Kdramas have a problem moving on to second loves. This show is strange. Partly because it involved so much going back to previous episodes to see what matched up (a lot did not). And 'were just thrown a lot of facts about them and were supposed to just take it that theyre madly in love with each other, without really feeling it'. Only, that scenario is revealed to have been a figment of Agent Chas imagination, since Hoons quasi-reunion with Seung-hee goes on uninterrupted. It's the writing/directing/show I'm talking about. 26 May 2014 Episode #1.7. next monday is waaaay to far away. The man grows up to become a genius surgeon. Four, how did Hoon and Jae-hee survive the fall the second time in the last episode? 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. 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. He's not the only one with crazy schedule either. if (d.getElementById(id)) return; Urgh. I was actually rooting for her and Hoon even though I kinda wanted Hoon to get his one true love back? I found her weird. I am ashamed myself to expose my ignorance here but I am dying to know! Doctor Stranger is currently the only drama outta the current bunch thats got me hooked. Thank you for your patience. My theory is: Seung-hee is really a spy and not Jae-hee at all. The stylist must have been horrified. Its obviously not bad acting because the same actress played Jae-Hee, whom I liked in one minute. Hoon replies as if she said nothing, and tells her what hed just been thinking about how everyones heartbeats are different. Its a rarity and definitely a fortunate turn of role casting for KSR. PH and JH/Seung Hee NEEDS to end up together because they've been through ALOT! (My attachment to these fictional characters are getting weirder and weirder.). I remember that feeling clearly. Only, when he nods off again, we see that Seung-hee really was sitting there, having been called by Soo-hyun. 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. What we get now is that PH is deeply in love with JH, and while that's not enough for me to want to care about their relationship, I'll just have to believe in it because that's what the show is centered about anyway. Read more . Can you tell me what it is and what brand? May 11, 2014. Heartbeats are not like fingerprints. Many Korean actors/actress do drama while having concerts and/or variety shows at the same time. I have mixed feelings about it because of those random pointless things. In South Korea, Park Hoon begins to work as doctor . But in the video scene, JH looked somewhat awake/conscious of her actions when she was saying "hoon ah" and holding out her hand. Hoon remembers her kidney transplant (that he performed), which would leave the real Jae-hee with only one kidney. Rate. So, did anyone else feel like the feel-good ending was a little bit forced? Right after the scene where Hoon gets knocked out by the flying basin at Soo Hyun's mom's house Dr Moon showed up. 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. Some plot lines just really didn't add up and I find myself confused by the end of each episode. Soohyun is about my favourite character in this series. [1] It aired on SBS from May 5 to July 8, 2014 on Mondays and Tuesdays at 21:55 KST (UTC+9) for 20 episodes. Convince me. the very least, Lee Jong Suk and Park Hae-jin were really good in this drama. 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. I've seen her do well in vibrant roles before, but being cold and monotonous only serves to compound on her weakness. Connect with Facebook In South Korea, Park Hoon begins to work as doctor in a top hospital Myungwoo University Hospital. But Nightshade wants to see her other skills. Did Bodyguard Lollipop shoot everyone else and then help him? And if they're just going to keep hiding everything under wraps, sorry but I don't have the patience like Hoon does, and I'll just lose interest with this conspiracy thing really soon (and I really don't want that to happen because there is so much potential for it to become something good). He tells her how much he misses her as he reaches out to hold her hand. Which leads me to the second point--2) JSY lacks intensity, hence she comes out FLAT. 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. And when I said cute, I was referring to the PH/JH scenes. I tried watchingI Can Hear Your Voicebecause I saw a blog post that said hes amazing in it. what's the point of all the sacrifices they've made if PH just ends with another girl. 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 ;). Its time for another Korean drama review! 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? 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. The Han Seung-hee that I created!, Seung-hee didnt argue that point, and instead reminded Agent Cha of their mission: Ill remain Han Seung-hee until the prime ministers surgery team is created. Plus he's FIERCELY loyal to JH and it's so OOC for him to be falling for So Hyeon. An excellent point! Sure I do. It feels like a missing building block right now. Girlfriday, hope you had a good laugh because i certainly did when i stumbled onto this old postXD. Hoon is arrested. They'd even dated [i]gasp[/i] other people. That's like drama speak of "you're never getting with the male lead, girl!" Do you want to see them on their first date, first kiss, first whatever before believing they are in a relationship? But Seung-hee, unafraid, convinced Agent Cha to let her meet Hoon. It's not Hoon's fault, it's the fault of the scriptwriter. A very simple but revealing clue: When Seung Hee was watching the video of Jae Hee, she was seen practicing pronouncing Hoon name with Jae Hee's tone of voice. Moon misunderstood that as Jae-hee/ Seung-hee has one because she donated not received! Director Choi is confused by her condition, since he remembered her health to be fine when she came into the country. 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. Hoon, just by touching the patients chest, was able to picture the heart and immediately determine whats wrong. Please Director-nim scold him Has anyone thought that maybe Jin Se Yeon's problem is burn out(extreme fatigue)? I'm knocking on wood on your behalf, Heads! He's desperate to save the woman he left behind in North Korea. Moon because gosh, those two are hilarious. 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. So many has mentioned that Seung Hee is practicing/copying JH in the laptop scene. In my eyes, she is, Hoon replies. [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. Since you liked Dr romantic and Dr John have you tried d-day and hospital ship? im actually really annoyed by seung hee/jae hee. Doctor Stranger is a 65 minute mini-series-drama-action-romance starring Lee Jong-suk as Park Hoon, Kang So-ra as Oh Soo-Hyun and Park Hae-jin as Han Jae-Joon. I already wish this show will defy convention and make Soo Hyun the lead lady. Jin Se Yeon has put in a lot of effort and preparation to play these two different characters that have their own charms. 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. I dont know. to see him improve with each roll he takes on is so impressive). YASSSSS! She was also really entertaining to watch while simultaneously being someone I related to. I did take me a while to get into it. Two, how did Jae-hee survive the fall the first time in Budapest? Rate. 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. I dont know much about the heart from a medical point of view but I dont think that you can find outexactlywhat is wrong just by placing your hand over the patients chest, no matter how skilled you are. Okay so lets see the plot holes that annoyed me so much, it almost ruined the whole story because these dont make sense. Thanks for the recap HeadsNo2. XD i dont know what to say i dont really like it how it progresses. Regardless, if she is Jae-hee or not, she is still a spy which she has to hide. Sometimes, an inspiration is better left to be admired from a distance rather than to be possessed for yourself, doing so, only make it lose its meaning and significance. Be sure to check out our sidebar for helpful info and resources! He tears through the house looking for her, and ends up opening the door to the bathroom. My experience watching Doctor Stranger can best be described by a quote from The Birdcage(1996), "How do you think I feel? I want to watch how PH is going to survive the conspiracy - whatever the conspiracy is. So many things were wrong with the show. Maybe in the second half? And I know yours, Jae-Hee. Coming with a completely different storyline, Han Jae-Joon held his own on screen against Hoon and Soo-hyun. Song Jae-Hee, in the small amount of time we saw her, was shown as a vibrant girl and I liked her instantaneously. Shes alive, damn it! He stumbles to his feet, and Soo-hyun has to grab him before he falls. 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. Your email address will not be published. Hes impressed by Seung-hee. she's not a cat with nine lives, scriptwriter. Why, though? 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. When he comes to, Doctor Moon is there to take him to meet Chairman Oh. Oof what foolish plot holes. And with that regard, I cannot help but rack my brain of any but one good reason why a North Korean doctor must be involved in anything politically related at all. I liked the PH/Soohyun scenes because those felt real. THE ACCIDENTAL DETECTIVE TAGALOG DUBBED. HOWEVER the rest of the show was awful. I mean, come on. I love that she's a competent professional even if Hoon calls her a quack, and a concerned friend to him. 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. Connect with Facebook Navigating through the nefarious plot is like mountain climbing with a 80 lb pack while being attacked by bees. I don't think the writers are lost. Well damn, koala just made a clarion call over at koalasplayground (more than once actually) to leave all the worthwhile discussions within the drama recap thread rather than inundating it with actress bashing. Like, in the end, hoon and soo hyun will fall in love with each other and will actually end up together. [ Download ]. Lets hope I didnt forget everything about this show because I watched it months back lol. Surely the people close to them would have been happy to know theyre alive and would have kept it a secret. As for the other half of our leads, things are definitely shaping up romantically as far as Soo Hyun is concerned. Each person has a different heartbeat. Why? The series premiered on Tue May 06, 2014 on SBS (KR) and A Happy Ending (S01E20) last aired on Tue Jul 08, 2014. . He owns the part of Jae-joon with authority even if I don't like the character for being a user of Soo-hyun. I happen to see lots of interaction between him and Dr Moon too. Since on the day they were leaving for N. Korea, both father and son left home at the same time. Sumedha spends her days reading books, bingeing Kdramas, drawing illustrations, and blogging while listening to Lo-Fi music. 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. fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); I was enjoying bits and pieces of this show without really getting involved in the plot or understanding it but somehow it only registered today that heads no.2 is recapping this show and suddenly I'm scared both for her and me. 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. Hoon has some impossible abilities( X ray eyes and hands and super hearing ability like dogs), just like Soo-ha's from IHYV. Doctor Stranger S1: E1 Park Cheol Saves the Leader of En.. 2014 HD TagDub. Agent Cha hands Nightshade records of Chang-yis mom going in and out of a coma as proof of Seung-hees skills.. }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); As a child, a man and his father are kidnapped and brought to North Korea. 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.

Ok, not to dispute the medical accuracy of the Show (sarcastically stated, of course), but 2 hearts that are going at the same rate, barring any murmur, arrhythmia or extra S3 or S4 sounds, will ALWAYS sound the same, "I hope thats metaphorical, because if he can recognize her by her heartbeat, I might have to laugh out loud. Some were funny, some helped the main cast but overall Im not impressed by them. Messing it up! Seduce her Hoon and open her skirt =). 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. Judging by the ep 7 preview, things do seem to bode for the better. My suggestion? Whenever things went wrong in his head, he started over until he was sure that he can perform the surgery successfully. Afterall, not everyone enjoys or understands the mystery and plot. First loves seems to be a cure-all for all romantic inclinations. To me, the hero has always loved one person. Though I enjoyed the medical suspense part, the utterly obvious plot holes, illogical character development, and ridiculous storyline are just too much. Thinking back she was right and I'm glad she didn't watch any more of the drama lolol. With Hoon-Jae Hee, we see them going from being perfectly strangers to to sharing deeply hidden secrets/feelings. After watching three shows of his and loving all of them, I decided Im bingeing the shows in which hes a lead. JSY doesn't come out as menacing at all, she seems lethargic. He deeply fell in love with Jae Hee (Jin Se-yeon) in his high school. He's desperate to save the woman he left behind in North Korea. I love Lee Jong Suk a lot, but it just wasnt doing it for me. It's not the subs - the show *really* is crazy. Not so sure about that - for one thing, where did the video come from? Taking your example of PH's parents having a bad relationship, it wasn't like the rest of the story was built on that. Sure. 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. Has anyone watched Coffee House? Jae-hee is alive. As not to waste this double-post let me just post this link to the beautiful pics of Kang Sora and Jin Se Yeon: http://koalasplayground.com/2014/05/22/jin-se-yeon-and-kang-sora-are-lovely-in-spring-magazine-spreads-as-shipping-wars-heats-up-dr-stranger/. Dream High, That Winter The Wind Blows, and Biscuit Teacher Star Candy, if anyone's interested in knowing. I certainly hope they do not spend the rest of the show just showing LJS trying to find JH. I just watched this for LJS but this really sucked. 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. Hahahaha! I cannot emphatize with her characters. 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. 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. Hes a skilled surgeon who graduated as a top medical student from Harvard. There's truly no accounting for taste. After that, Ill live as Song Jae-hee. I couldnt decide if I wanted to give this -1 or -2 so I just went with -1.5. They knew each other since young. Then, I decided to try Doctor Stranger and went in with low expectations because I hadnt heard much praise for this one. Thanks for the insight madhatter. and because Hoon appears so loyal to me that it's hard to imagine him to fall for someone else. http://gizmodo.com/5884650/your-heartbeat-could-be-your-password, This sentence in that article though is the killer "..You will never get the same exact timing of beats twice", I kept getting SLS -_- She put it on Soo Hyun's mother's wrist and was upset when Hoon found it. One side would have had to reach out or Jae-Joon would have saved them and I dont see how? Other plot holes: how'd Hoon get from Budapest post-shooting, to SK anyway? Agent Chas main concern is whether the stubborn Chairman Oh will let Hoon back into the fold, but Seung-hee is unconcernedall they need to do is enlist the help of someone who can change the old mans mind. 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. Many years later, Hoon makes it back home to Seoul and works with another doctor in their clinic. xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page All rights reserved. Are you a Lee Jong-suk stan too? Required fields are marked *. i only feel sad for the puppy fiancee. There's just soooo much dramaland logic I can't imagine watching something like that with my current brain. According to your conviction, the production team would have to convince you of that first. Three cheers for Hoon being proactive! (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/. However. Whos that? Seung-hee replies, causing Hoon to pull out the red bracelet he took from Patient Kim. This gives Jae-joon another chance to butt heads with Hoon as he claims that anything could happen when a patient is as old as Chang-yis mother, though he credits the surgical success to the anesthesiologists excellent preparation. There were a series of surgical competitions set up by the hospitals authorities for Hoon and Jae-Joon. Interestingly, I initially thought that it was Soo Hyun who will end up being the outlier as she is stuck with the normal girl status (strange how being normal makes you the stranger in this show). Sheworkedhard. ), I think she mutter his name when asleep/delirious but not consciously. i know shes probably trying to protect him or whatever by being another person but shes annoying me. She was clumsy in feelings and had funny expressions, and she was a determined doctor. My recommendation to her is to take a break and go on a long and nice holiday. i think part of it is because Hoon was very much loyal to Jae-hee (while Jae-hee is still a question mark).
