I doesn't sound like a case of "I think the Prime Minister wants to protect him since he owes Hoon a debt". It feels like a missing building block right now. One, how did Hoon finally reach South Korea from Budapest? I think we get an answer to that in the next episode because in the preview for episode 7, it looks like Seung-hee has to undergo further medical examination for whatever reason! I guess we have a few more weeks of flat line deliveries to find this out. Other plot holes: how'd Hoon get from Budapest post-shooting, to SK anyway? All I can hope for are more moments with Soo-hyun, because shes one princess whos going to need a white knight in her corner, Jae-joons Dungeons and Dragons metaphors be damned. It lessens his character, one with unique background and dark history of being a doctor in the NK human lab. I found her weird. And I can't see how Seung Hee is not Jae Hee. Seung Hee, Seung Hee, for the apparent nefarious plot that shes got herself into which I could only imagine as the means that shes willing to take to reach her endemancipation from her NK trappings and eventually back to Hoons hands. They were standing right there. 5. 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. Connect with Facebook Dr. I am still trying to figure out a valid reason why there are so many people tied up with and helping North Korea here, and what they could possibly gain from it. How did they escape and why didnt they tell anyone??? The same way, I really do feel for PH/Dr. Moon because gosh, those two are hilarious. Seriously. There he meets Han Seung-hee, a doctor who uncannily resembles Jae-hee. what's the point of all the sacrifices they've made if PH just ends with another girl. I would love to see stiff competition between Hoon and Jae-joon in the operating table too. I just watched this for LJS but this really sucked. Each person has a different heartbeat. Practicing? i dont know what to say i dont really like it how it progresses. First loves seems to be a cure-all for all romantic inclinations. idk how do you guys feel about that pairing.

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.

Their NK scenes were cute, but i felt it wasn't enough. 7. It was the same expression throughout her screen time in the show. 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.

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. My understanding was that both Jae Hee's kidneys were damaged and she was going to die. She tries to take the bracelet back, but only ends up ripping it into two halves. I kept cooking up theories. I really want to like this because I started watching for LJS, and the chemistry b/n him and KSR is pretty intriguing. So I don't exactly know what your complaints are about, but sure, point taken. A verification email has been sent to your new email address. Its clear as blue sky now that Jae Hee has no intention in staying with Hoon after her mission. She said that she will be going back to Japan. Her coldness to Hoon in this episode mirrors her reactions in that flash back scene in episode 5 (Hoon chasing her inside the hospital while she intentionally avoided him). Her facial expressions in that scene showed contempt and disgust towards Park Hoon. But apparently PH looked really disappointed when he found out that she had 2 kidneys - but shouldn't he know that she would have 2 since she was the one who did the transplant? Director Jin Hyuk previously directed Brilliant Legacy (2009), City Hunter (2011), Master's Sun (2013). 4 . 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.

There's just soooo much dramaland logic I can't imagine watching something like that with my current brain. how many people are there who are trying to achieve something. She did not donate one. PM Jang might be an important person, but I dont think he has the same clout nor is he even remotely comparable to that of NKs great leader, that his death will ignite yet another upheaval of nuclear proportions. Im sure even the police would have been called and searches would have been done. Im 100% with you on the chemistry from the imaginary surgery scene. Jae Hees confession to Soo Hyun that she will be leaving soon confirmed my suspicion that theres a higher probability that the ending of this series wont veer away from the original ending in the book (Doctor Stranger is based in a best-seller book Northern Doctor). 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 ;). Thats like drama speak of youre never getting with the male lead, girl! =/. Coming with a completely different storyline,Han Jae-Joon held his own on screen against Hoon and Soo-hyun. I want SH and Hoon together so bad!!! Not just Soo-hyun's but also pretty Doctor Moon. Oh Soo-Hyun, on the other hand, was a really good lead. Soo-Hyun and Chang-Yi ran over and saw them fall. 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. Her task probably to keep Park Hoon check on her watch.Remember when Park Hoon hug her in that hall(? Urgh. Max size: 2Mo. ", http://www.dramabeans.com/2014/04/doctor-stranger-gets-a-perm/. I pretty much hated Han Seung-Hee and did not care about her at all. Otherwise, just skip it. In fact, there is upcoming technology trying to use the unique heartbeat ecg as a means to replace password to unlock things! I can just see So Hyeon and PH to be great buddies and THAT'S IT even though So Hyeon may be infatuated with PH. 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?? Of course, Soo-hyun called her over so that he could apologize to her, only now hes too drunk to do much of anything. . I dont know. She probably survived the impossible fall cause this is Dr.Stranger land and the stranger the "death" the more chances you're alive. The close contact unsettles her, and while Hoons eyes are closed she reaches out to brush her fingers against his cheek. it just breaks my heart and, sorry to all the Soo-hyun/Hoon OTPs out there, but stop trying to make Soo-hyun/Hoon coupling happen, it's not going to happen. i don't think SH/JH character isn't played as great as i hoped, but i can't NOT ship Hoon and Jae-hee knowing what kind of past they had. Dream High, That Winter The Wind Blows, and Biscuit Teacher Star Candy, if anyone's interested in knowing. He's desperate to save the woman he left behind in North Korea. In. I dropped it as soon as I reached the part where Park Hoon meets his old flame at the hospital like.. why? 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 How on earth did he know to find Hoon here?! There's truly no accounting for taste. Why, though? This website is still under development. Park Hoon is emotionally tormented as a doctor who looks excatly like his lost love Song Jae Hee continues to insist that she is not. He further confuses Doctor Moon when he tells him that Jae-hee isnt in the Northshes here. I think a better ending would be if Park Hoon just didn't get with anyone ya know. Its a shame because the other 3 leads performances are quite splendid. And that hed wanted to instill hope in Hoon by smuggling Chang-yis mom outhope that, one day, hed reunite with Jae-hee. Like I've said before, not telling something that is not important or plain obvious is not equivalent to a plot hole. Soo-hyun is just so much more likeable than Seung-hee/Jae-hee. And when I said cute, I was referring to the PH/JH scenes. it's okay, I am not invested in her character at all either. jimmy smith walk on the wild side; January 27, 2022 also i cant figure out if jae joon is a good hearted person with problems or hes just a plain baddy with ill intentions. 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.

In the background, mystery regarding Dr. Han Seung Hee's and Officer Cha's mission is brought into light. Well, it turns out that when he was a teenager, his father passed away during surgery due to medical malpractice. I want to watch the tension between PH and JJ, not over Soohyun, but over what being a doctor means to both of them. Add to it, I kept thinking LJS and Kang Sora will get together because they had real chemistry not the leads but no. Right! But yes, whatever, I'm here to stay.

Download the latest version here. After Park Hoon's father died, he tried to flee to South Korea with Jae-hee, but lost contact with her in the end. I watch Kdrama for almost a deccade since I was in elementary, and I believe that this drama is lacking in writing but full on swing when it comes ti acting. Just because I enjoy Soohyun's character more doesn't make me pro-Sora or anti-JSY. 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. IHYV (2nd lead female turns good towards the end only). Sure, he doesnt make much sensea hospital director who perfected his hand at smuggling refugees because hes sorrybut since hes literally the one guy who seems to have Hoons back, that instantly makes him better than most. Two people cannot have the same heartbeat. For him to give up on her, is like giving up a part of what makes Hoon, Hoon. I will pay back my fans through working as hard as I can.. Also, I have seen the main actress in this and Born Again and I have since refused to watch any of her shows. According to you, who was the most awesome character in this episode? Completely agree with you. There's no logical reason to love someone in kdrama anyway. Which in this case, from the horseshoe kidney imaging (or what we medically call it as Axial CT Scan since the picture has refreshing properties unlike X-Ray which is static), I can clearly see that there are two (2) kidneys on the right side from our angular view. not that I'm complaining, love her character to bits!. She throws things at him in response, and manages to knock him out cold with a flimsy plastic bowl. She tries to get him to listen to reason, since Seung-hee said she wasnt Jae-hee, but he wont, cant, accept it. Give Seung Hee more dimensions and have her display more emotions OTHER than trying to be Cold and Reserved. I wonder if the PD likes to twist things around justfor the sake of it.

I don't really know what they were planning to do with this, was it to make us confuse or if they were trying to drop hints about who SH really is. 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. // Load the SDK asynchronously Four, how did Hoon and Jae-hee survive the fall the second time in the last episode? Chang-yis mom regains consciousness again, and notes that Seung-hee really does look like Jae-hee. the fan war in that drama was quiet sthing too, but *warning: spoiler* despite all the misleading from the drama aka many scenes with the secretary that make people ship them. Two, how did Jae-hee survive the fall the first time in Budapest? *nostalgic to 'Reply 1994' era*. It's going to be like all the othersSeung-hee is either going to leave or get killed and he will end up with Soo-Hyun. He mention about paying back his gratitude to Hoon,as he is the only one who knew PM secrets & he knew that Hoon dad was innocent. I don't know how this writer can create a show based on nothing but plot holes and unbelievable stuff..and yet here I am, happily taking it all in. I need some context to know who or what I should care about. (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). 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. way beyond what can happen to a normal person. sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna, Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. LOL, yes, Kang So-ra is playing her very well, i admit. Aired: May 27, 2014. I watched Doctor Stranger only because of Lee Jong-Suk. When he is finally able to return to South Korea, he begins working at a hospital. I also don't get the hate JSY has been getting. I suspect that her brain will awake when she interacts with Hoon and then her brain will try to fight the chip that controls her. While a lot of us can spot the obvious stuff, that is something I doubt any of us knew. Meanwhile, a stone-faced Seung-hee tells Agent Cha that the whole act was devised so that Hoon would believe that Jae-hee is alive. 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. You will receive a link to create a new password via email. He hopes that hell be able to ask her mother when she wakes up. I have a feeling that Jae-hee is truly dead and that they just transplanted her face into another north korean spy - aka Seung-hee. Its not realistic, especially since it happened ALL THE TIME. With Jin Se Yeon, here's a girl who has literally done her dramas back to back, often starting one before the other ends. She could quite easily defect and bring the whole weird nest of plotters down, so what is holding her back? 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. Whenever things went wrong in his head, he started over until he was sure that he can perform the surgery successfully. 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. Han Seung-Hee (shown in the picture above), on the other hand, was just BLANK. I want to watch him get over that (with the help of soohyun or something) and start realizing what it means to be a doctor. This episode was an episode which just re-established what we already knew, and what we don't, we still don't. Foolishly, I was too happy to notice and just typed this along the way. What did you think of Doctor Stranger? Jae Hees pretense has now been shattered. Oh, YEAH! Doctor Stranger is currently the only drama outta the current bunch thats got me hooked. So Hoon pulls Seung-hee aside again, trying everything he can go get her to acknowledge him. Unbeknownst to her, Jae-joon is watching from a distance. Seung-hee acts surprised to hear it, and expresses her desire to learn more about Hoons old flame while he continues to sleep it off. They were the most expected couple. Seriously I thought this heart beat thing is something I did not learn from my boring biology class!! 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. Five, Jae-Joon knew that they survived. Because her character isn't expressive by design and it takes special talent to give the proper nuances to break that monotony. My suggestion? I have not watched Doctor Romantic actually, and haven't tried D-Day nor Hospital Ship. I would definitely hate to see the OTPs romance being foiled by some arbitrary mission that may or may not be just another form of noble idiocy. Jae Hee is a South Korean actor who made his on-screen debut in the Korean drama School. So by a single scene one can have so many differing interpretations already. With both SH and Hoon asking what Dr Moon is doing there. 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. Outside of her, Hoon have virtually nobody left to care for. Whys he in Myungwoo, you ask? This drama was a mess. Its very difficult to grasp all of the different aspects between the characters, such as tone, choice of words, and expressions. - The whole "I don't want to admit I helped to find Chang Yi's mom until I find Seung Hee" explanation sounds dodgy. When Hoon tries to follow her, Soo-hyun has to physically hold him back. 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. 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. Hoons eyes grow wide the second Seung-hee unmasks in front of him, but he manages to contain himself this time. Omggg you read my mind! 4 Hoon . Hoon replies as if she said nothing, and tells her what hed just been thinking about how everyones heartbeats are different. 8. 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. Hes a skilled surgeon who graduated as a top medical student from Harvard. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm close. Im doing thispoint-wiseso that you know exactly what I liked and how much I liked it. Surprise me, Show, pls surprise me. RECOMMENDED. Only show I can recall with a bad 2nd male and good 2nd female is King of Baking, Kim Takgu. So many things were wrong with the show. 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. In regards to playing two entirely different characters, Jin Se Yeon relayed This is the first time I have attempted playing two roles, and it seriously isnt easy. 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. Is it me or does heads pick shows which are very unique and good in the beginning and lose their brains later? Instead, it makes my head spins trying to wring out the suspense in every character (except Hoon, SooHyun and Dr Moon and that's why I enjoy them so much) The writer keeps trying to introduce character with huge mysterious plot line then plays the game that feeds me a tiny bit informati22on once a while. Though these questions surrounding Seung Hees identity is at the forefront of the shows current plot point, what continues to intrigue me more is the equally confusing Big Mission that must involve Hoon. Using Myung Woo University Hospital as the background, the drama portrays a story of love and competition with the characters standing in the center of a North Korean conspiracy to select the team members of the surgery team that will operate on the South Korean Prime Minister Jang Seok Joo (Cheon Ho Jin.). Drunk hoon calls for jae hee because he's a bery love sick boi i actually agree w you but i actually am watching it since idk i like to finish a drama unless its really THAT bad then. The show is forcing us to believe in the Hoon-Jaehee relationship but not showing us enough about WHY we should believe in it. Full House. Navigating through the nefarious plot is like mountain climbing with a 80 lb pack while being attacked by bees. Be sure to check out our sidebar for helpful info and resources! Hopefully, Dr Weird and Dr Quack chemistry is still strong enough plus Dr Moons is still hilarious enough to keep me watching this drama. a). Lee Ki-chan Meet You Now () from the OST. 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. I liked him well enough but I HATED the other main character. I feel the same. 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. Am not too concerned, let the plot show its face when it shows its face! I didn't realize a drama is supposed to convince you of a relationship or anything else. b). 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. I read similar opinions in the show's reviews. But if the story is going to be centered around PH loving JH, shouldn't they at least try to convince us that he does? 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. Its a rarity and definitely a fortunate turn of role casting for KSR. He is most likely the one who bring both Hoon & Jae Hee to Korea. we dont know what exacatly and why. 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? 2. And why in the preview did the how many kidneys thing come up yet again? 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. Take away the names and the different settings of each drama, I see the same person with the same limited expressions. Years later, Hoon, a budding genius surgeon, and his girlfriend Song Jae-h=Hee try to escape to South Korea. In the thrilling conclusion to Doctor Stranger Park Hoon and Jae Hee make the . In South Korea, Park Hoon begins to work as doctor . That would be the most welcome surprise. Yeah, no. Unless dad told Hoon at some point he was targeted to go NKorea based on Dr Choi's recommendation? 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. 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. If Hoon is happy I'll be happy and if SH is happy and doesn't change ( by the stupid 2nd lead curse) I'll totally be enjoying this Kdrama !!! 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. Since you liked Dr romantic and Dr John have you tried d-day and hospital ship? Shes the only doctor Ive seenstudyinghardin dramas (and shows and movies). Oops. Home> Doctor Stranger S1: E2 Park Hoon and Jae Hee Part Ways 2014 HD TagDub > Comments . Let there be a twist in the plot. Why's he in Myungwoo, you ask? I am ashamed myself to expose my ignorance here but I am dying to know! It just makes me want more of their scenes together. S1, Ep7. yes, that trope has been overused but i REFUSE to believe that Seung-hee is someone else who looks exactly like her (or fixed her face to look like JH) or is committed to being a NK spy knowing everything that had happened to Hoon. 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? K-dramas: anything can happen. Doctor Stranger broke my heart because it had a really cool premise and I thought the first episode was great. Song Jae-Hee, in the small amount of time we saw her, was shown as a vibrant girl and I liked her instantaneously. That, or his superpower activated and he detected some sort of cardiac problem in SH necessitating a scan. 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). I didn't exactly enjoy this episode as much as the first 5, I felt that it was all over the place and too much of going back and forth with whether JH is alive or if JH is SH. 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. That whole heartbeat thing was total BS. Isang babaeng kamukhang-kamukha ni Jae Hee ang makikita ni Hoon. Why must it be him? Park Hoon is eccentric (with a matching hairstyle), playful and a genius. 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. sad to say that "Mok Dan" (cuz I havent bothered to remember her real name) is continuing her streak of characters I hate. I love how he calls Sohyun that and her just letting him do it. How did the writers or anyone else in the making of the show not notice?? ;). we didn't get that from JH/PH.
