how many people are there who are trying to achieve something. This is where the . 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. JSY is too young, barely gets out of teenage, to have the experience needed for the complex character. 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. He became a genius cardiothoracic surgeon after attending medical school in North Korea. The close contact unsettles her, and while Hoons eyes are closed she reaches out to brush her fingers against his cheek. My Girl.

And before I moved here I honestly thought Seoul was the size of maybe ten blocks or so because everybody's lurking behind bushes and watching everything. K1ngkang v2. Thanks. Yeah, no. Are you a Lee Jong-suk stan too? 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. THE ACCIDENTAL DETECTIVE TAGALOG DUBBED. Still, after Jin Soo shot Hoon and they fell I thought that easily the most moving moment of the show and genuinely felt it an apt place to leave their story in peace. 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. She's just a doctor, not THE doctor stranger. Doctor Moon rejoices, since this means she cant be a spy, while Hoon starts to accept what seems to be the truth: that Seung-hee isnt Jae-hee. Four, how did Hoon and Jae-hee survive the fall the second time in the last episode? To me, the hero has always loved one person. I also like the fact that both Hoon and Seung Hee (if JH is indeed SH that is) are not pure hero or heroines, that they do have shadows beneath their seemingly brighter facades. Unfortunately for him, shes got other plans. i mean i get the amount of politics is very heavy in this drama which i also understand since it can be annoying. we dont know what exacatly and why. After that, Ill live as Song Jae-hee. She throws things at him in response, and manages to knock him out cold with a flimsy plastic bowl. Hi, at 5.34minutes in this episode, Dr.Han Seung Hee is wearing a wristband. Jin Se Yeon has put in a lot of effort and preparation to play these two different characters that have their own charms. Seung-hee ends up offering her home for Hoon to crash in, but while leading him to the bed, Soo-hyun trips and ends up wrapped in his arms. But you forgot that Soo-hyun kissed another guy!

Shes vulnerable and under-confident but tries to do well and handle herself in situations. K1ngkang v2. -_-, 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. Its time for another Korean drama review! 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. Shippy or not, I hope they remain friends. Just because I enjoy Soohyun's character more doesn't make me pro-Sora or anti-JSY. I want to watch how PH is going to survive the conspiracy - whatever the conspiracy is. It just felt like we were going round in circles about the same spot, looking at the same thing. 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. 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. First loves seems to be a cure-all for all romantic inclinations. Hoon and Chang-yi ask Director Choi for some clarification, and we see in flashback how he was the contact in North Korea that made the deal to get Chang-yis mom out. There was just a time-jump resulting in him being South Korea with no elaboration whatsoever. 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. 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 decided to review Doctor Stranger even though its already too late because it causes so much disturbance in my Kdrama routine. If Ill rate this series, story-wise, I cant even include this in my top 15 best dramas. Honestly, I have second thoughts if Im gonna recommend this to anyone.

This woman says she does not know Park Hoon and acts quite cold towards him. Then he looks over Jae-joons shoulder: What do you think, Quack?. Couldn't he put his jealousy aside? 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. The story seemed very incomplete. 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? If you dont believe me, shoot me.. 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. He tears through the house looking for her, and ends up opening the door to the bathroom. 7. 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. But in the video scene, JH looked somewhat awake/conscious of her actions when she was saying "hoon ah" and holding out her hand. Right! The same way, I really do feel for PH/Dr. And as for that, why did he have to hug her when he could have just used a stethoscope?

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. Is Jae Hee Still Alive? He tells her how much he misses her as he reaches out to hold her hand. Watching Hoon wander through his scenes in a constant state of mental breakdown felt like watching someone go through a bad breakupand in that way, those closest to Hoon treated him like he just hadnt come to accept The Truth yet. 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. 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. Shes the only doctor Ive seenstudyinghardin dramas (and shows and movies). Lee Jong-Suk as Park Hoon was the highlight of the show. 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? 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. And the thing is, I don't require details for everything. 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. He didnt, which brings us to another flashback of Agent Cha undergoing brutal torture in the DPRK as a result of Hoons escape. Though admittedly, I didnt expect that Doctor will be making this particular plot point reveal before even reaching the halfway cour. 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. One side would have had to reach out or Jae-Joon would have saved them and I dont see how? Its obviously not bad acting because the same actress played Jae-Hee, whom I liked in one minute. 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? Moon misunderstood that as Jae-hee/ Seung-hee has one because she donated not received! Instead he walks right up to her, wraps his arms around her, and listens. 6. SeungHee is JaeHee. Ratings: 9.1 /10 from 34 users. Unfortunately, what I mentioned above was the ONLY thing I liked about the character. weird. I want more of these scenes. It's not really her fault so much as the roles she gets. Do not like her either, not sure why. Send. 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. I think it's both way though. 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.

That almost never ends well. Since I did not really notice the songs in this show and dont care to listen to them specifically, I dont have a section for my favourite songs. With supernatural power, no less. with so much Soo Hyun and Hoon moments, I keep thinking that she's the main girl lead. After being sent to North Korea, Park Hoon and his father were denied access to go back to South Korea. Hahahhahaha ! 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. what about identical twins? Okay, I'm way out of topic here. Jae Hees pretense has now been shattered.

It ignited a passion for clinical medicine inside me and that's how I chose my major in college lol. Probably the most entertaining one of the bunch airing right now but I can't say I love it. 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. They chose patients based on the level of difficulty of the surgery and not from a doctors concerned point of view. I am trying really hard to stay on board with A New Leaf but its slowly losing its touch. 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 Just to clarify, I'm not pro-Sora. How much time has she given herself for self reflection? All rights reserved. js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; The ending will also make you tear out your hair. 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. 8. 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.

He leaves after telling Hoon that theres something he has to give him before he leaves for the DPRK, which leaves just enough time for something bad to happen to him first.

Thanks for a lovely recap Head2no! 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. Park Hoon's father then died and he tried to flee to South Korea with Jae Hee, but lost in contact with her and at the end, he fled to South Korea alone, while looking for Jae Hee. Omggg you read my mind! Or does Lee Jong-seok count as excellent taste? Welcome! Anyways, I wish I could spend time writing all my thoughts about this episode but alas, off I go on a trip. Seung-hee balls her fist as Hoon listens to the steady sound of their hearts beating in perfect unison. Let there be a twist in the plot. Hoon, just by touching the patients chest, was able to picture the heart and immediately determine whats wrong. He took Park Hoon along because Hoons mother refused to care for him.

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. (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/. 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. 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. But whatever the results may be for Dr. Hoons supernatural heart-reading test, its bound to shake up and surely add more flavor to the already potent romantic concoction.

Whoops. Doctor Stranger S1: E7 Seung Hee Falls in Love with Hoon 2014 HD TagDub. I love to see that identity conflict, but there better be a damn good reason behind it, most especially if Jae Hee is willing to shed everything that made Hoon (and I) love her character to become the glum Seung Hee that she is right now. S1, Ep7. I really want to like this because I started watching for LJS, and the chemistry b/n him and KSR is pretty intriguing. i mean when they say in this drama everyone has a different heartbeat and when they test it and get it wrong in the end how dull would that be????

Many Korean actors/actress do drama while having concerts and/or variety shows at the same time. Whether Hoon now has a definitive answer as to whether Seung-hee is Jae-hee is up for grabs, but for his sake and ours I hope that hes made a decision. In fact, theres more of all that than romance. I've watched her in 3 very different dramas: Gaksital, Age of Feeling, Doctor Stranger. Arguably, she is one of the reasons that have kept Hoon in tact mentally and pushed him to keep going despite being imprisoned to NK's medical bootcamp from hell. This website is still under development. to me, there's a difference between the two i'm not sure if it's the same for you). Jae-joon was unaware that Chairman Oh changed his mind, and seems to switch gears from Jealous Boyfriend to Perfect Boyfriend as he asks Soo-hyun out for dinner. I still do hope to see Jae Joon make a turn around and be the proper lover to win back Soo Hyuns heart which will inevitably only be broken by pining too much to our Dr Stranger. 1:38:06. 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. How do I know this? Your email address will not be published. Also, surgery masks are VERY good for showing off eye makeup! This episode continues the charade from yesterdays already confounding show, as it raises still more questions. But Seung-hee, unafraid, convinced Agent Cha to let her meet Hoon. (If a romantic moment happens and a second lead isnt there to see it, does it make a sound?) Soohyun is about my favourite character in this series. 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. I doesn't sound like a case of "I think the Prime Minister wants to protect him since he owes Hoon a debt". idk how do you guys feel about that pairing. boahh this draama is so confusing really awkward. Do you want to see them on their first date, first kiss, first whatever before believing they are in a relationship? Here, I am hoping for Soo Hyun & Hoon come true.

Foolishly, I was too happy to notice and just typed this along the way. If they were trying to show that PH is madly crazily in love with JH, fine, we get that. 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. I understand people shipping Hoon/Soo Hyun she's easy to like and the actors have some nice chemistry (I don't see it as romantic chemistry myself Hoon's way too wrapped up in JH to even notice other women) but as this was Seung Hee's introduction week I'm not quite ready to abandon the Show's OTP. For JH/PH, we were just told that they're in a relationship and that hoon is madly in love with JH. I cannot emphatize with her characters. Maybe in the second half? Ummm she hid her identity inorder to protect hoon, i dont understand why people hated her so much, watch the god damn drama carefully, Your email address will not be published. 2) Han Jae Joon and Oh Soo Hyun. I want SH and Hoon together so bad!!! 9. . Theyre so obvious! My suggestion? And since theres a convenient shortage of anesthesiologists, Seung-hee steps up to the plate to help(?)
