Team Dramabeans: What we're watching (March 4, 2023), Politics and peril in The Secret Romantic Guesthouse, You can only pick one: Friends-to-lovers drama, First script reading for tvN's Stealer: Seven Joseon Coins. i dont know what to say i dont really like it how it progresses. As for the other half of our leads, things are definitely shaping up romantically as far as Soo Hyun is concerned. 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. At this point I have little interest in what happens to Jae Hee. ;). However, as he later reveals to Chang-yi, hes still not sure about who Seung-hee is. 170 Views. I read similar opinions in the show's reviews. Seung Hee is not like that, she's quiet, she's cold, she's non-chalant to the point that she's boring. There was just a time-jump resulting in him being South Korea with no elaboration whatsoever. She legit sat with medical books and tried to understand the problem and all of the theory when any new case came up. People kept doubting, wishing he'd change because she's in the past, etc But heck you don't tell a person who they have to love or who deserve their affection. Rate. Ha. 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. And although Hoon's undying love for Jaehee is killing me, I still want him with Dr. Quack. Is Jae Hee Still Alive? 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. I don't want him to be one-dimensional. sad to say that "Mok Dan" (cuz I havent bothered to remember her real name) is continuing her streak of characters I hate. Jae-joon claims he was just protecting Soo-hyuns doctorly honor against Hoons quack allegations, an excuse which has Soo-hyun raising her eyebrows: Thats not like you.. Are you a Lee Jong-suk stan too? 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. 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. The ending will also make you tear out your hair. That almost never ends well. 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. How was she saved in time because she was shotandshe was in the water? 2014-05-12 . I'm stocking up Internet liquor just in case for you, Heads=P. Completely agree with you. Although, I have no idea what's north korea group plan for Hoon Gotta agree with everyone that KSR and LJS acting is tremendously top notch in every episode. 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. & 33,456 people watched this episode Oh "Coffee House" - my favorite ever!!! Doctor Stranger (Tagalog) EP 3 Eng Sub - Maraming pasyente ang dadagsa sa Myungwoo University Hospital dahil sa isang aksidente. 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. Couldn't he put his jealousy aside? 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. She really CANNOT act. Your email address will not be published. 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. Lee Jong-Suk as Park Hoon was the highlight of the show. She tries to take the bracelet back, but only ends up ripping it into two halves. 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. 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. And when I said cute, I was referring to the PH/JH scenes. My suggestion? Because Myungwoo Hospitals just a thoroughfare for anyone wearing a white lab coat, Agent Cha sneaks in to deal with the loose end that is Chang-yis motheronly hes just there to start things, since Prime Minister Jang wants to see Seung-hees doctoring skills. 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. Kailangan tumulong si Hoon dahil sa kakulangan sa doktor. They chose patients based on the level of difficulty of the surgery and not from a doctors concerned point of view. Though admittedly, I didnt expect that Doctor will be making this particular plot point reveal before even reaching the halfway cour. I need some context to know who or what I should care about. Oops. js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser. 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. Jin Se Yeon will undergo an acting transformation as the heroine of this turbulent romance that frequents between North and South Korea. Shes the only doctor Ive seenstudyinghardin dramas (and shows and movies). Nor is she a particularly strong or experienced actress. Its a rarity and definitely a fortunate turn of role casting for KSR. 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. I am ashamed myself to expose my ignorance here but I am dying to know! . I cannot hear heartbeat properly when I hug my kids or husband tightly. Home> Doctor Stranger S1: E2 Park Hoon and Jae Hee Part Ways 2014 HD TagDub > Comments . One side would have had to reach out or Jae-Joon would have saved them and I dont see how? 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 ;). On the other hand, this shows forte is not in dropping helpful hints, which means we got to be just as bewildered as Hoon was, too. Conversely, it seems PHJ had to do a reverse of his previously charming and easily root-able performance. On the one hand, Im glad the show is presenting its mystery through Hoons point of view, since we literally only know as much as he does at any given moment. Their NK scenes were cute, but i felt it wasn't enough. I was confused as to why he was chosen and why they needed him. No matter how this ends up, we all know I'll be watching the entire series because urgh, LJS and his awesomeness - I can't resist that. Whos that? Seung-hee replies, causing Hoon to pull out the red bracelet he took from Patient Kim. Hoon is sure that Seung-hee is Jae-hee, and seems lost in his own mind as he compliments her new hairstyle. Rate. Surprise me, Show, pls surprise me. I really want to like this because I started watching for LJS, and the chemistry b/n him and KSR is pretty intriguing. 42 Views. Anyways, I wish I could spend time writing all my thoughts about this episode but alas, off I go on a trip. Seung Hee, for the apparent nefarious plot that she's got herself into which I could only imagine as the means that she's willing to take to reach her end--emancipation from her NK trappings and eventually back to Hoon's hands. When the show first started, I was going to be ambitious and keep a list, but after ep3 I simply gave up. Jae-joons calls to Soo-hyun go unanswered, as we find her and Hoon thoroughly trashed from one (or five) too many bottles of soju. I must confess that I did not study science much while I was young. is each heart beat of human being very characteristic that we cannot find an identical heart beat or similar heart beat of someone else as Hoon says? I need more to feel more, but I doubt we'll get that since the show has obviously moved on from establishing that. On a side note, I love soohyun. Master's Sun script started out kinda promising and then it got so ridiculous towards the end. 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. He tells her how much he misses her as he reaches out to hold her hand. But the plot holes that Ididpick up annoyed me so much because any explanation was NOT given. There is a huge range of audience maturity which could also be influenced by age, culture and exposure just to list some factors. Like, in the end, hoon and soo hyun will fall in love with each other and will actually end up together. 59min. 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. The series premiered on Tue May 06, 2014 on SBS (KR) and A Happy Ending (S01E20) last aired on Tue Jul 08, 2014. . Soo-hyun calls him Father for the first time in a long time, and tells him that shes sorry while thanking him for loving her mom. I hope you never forget that, Seung-hee replies. While Lee Jong-suk does an excellent job portraying his despair in wanting Jae-hee back, their relationship is not really believable. I love how he calls Sohyun that and her just letting him do it. Although Jae Joon intended to use Soo Hyun at first, the guy seriously fell in love with her. Seung-hee balls her fist as Hoon listens to the steady sound of their hearts beating in perfect unison. also i cant figure out if jae joon is a good hearted person with problems or hes just a plain baddy with ill intentions. 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. How right. Soohyun is about my favourite character in this series. If you continue to use this site we will assume that you are happy with it. That was our plan from the start.".

Especially since Seung-hee overhears the entire exchange. For that I appreciate the fact that you're just as engrossed to that pairing koala. ), 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. 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* I liked him well enough but I HATED the other main character. As a child, Park Hoon (Lee Jong-suk) and his father Park Cheol (Kim Sang-joong) were tricked and sent to North Korea. (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).

LOL! I have serious doubts that even the writer knows what the plot is, so how do you expect us to? 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. 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 would love to see stiff competition between Hoon and Jae-joon in the operating table too. It just felt like we were going round in circles about the same spot, looking at the same thing. FB.init({ 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. in the sense, yes, i acknowledge they're in a relationship; but no, i don't feel invested in their relationship. 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. All the way throughout the drama, I thought Kang Sora was the female lead, until it dawned on me in the last episode that it was Jin Seyeon. I was really starting to worry watching Hoon spend most of the episode in a permanent state of reaction, which is understandable for someone like him but still not that fun to sit through. Soo-Hyun and Chang-Yi ran over and saw them fall. 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. Hoon slams his glass down. Two, how did Jae-hee survive the fall the first time in Budapest? 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 makes me see the plotholes getting bigger, see many ridiculous explanations and see many forced logics. 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. So, instead of making me anticipated with the suspensions, the writer makes me frustrated and lose patience. i just wish they would stick to the plot of the love triangle between Hoon-Soohyun-Jae-joon. The reason she says she'll live as Jae-hee after the surgery is so that N. Korea can keep have an eye on Park Hoon and "threaten" him using fake Jae-hee whenever they need anything. - How is it that he's able to flit b/n N Korea and S Korea so easily? 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. There's just soooo much dramaland logic I can't imagine watching something like that with my current brain. There were multiple (four, if I remember right) such competitions held over several episodes. She's just a doctor, not THE doctor stranger. If shes Seung-Hee, how come she looksexactlylike Jae-Hee unless theyre longlost twins twins? When he comes to, Doctor Moon is there to take him to meet Chairman Oh. Connect with Facebook Rate. appId : '127538621120543', I really liked watching his character development and all the obstacles he had to go through in terms of his heart. 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. Isang babaeng kamukhang-kamukha ni Jae Hee ang makikita ni Hoon. 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. He became a genius cardiothoracic surgeon after attending medical school in North Korea. Jae-hee is alive. I cant even blame those people who sputter profanities and rude comments against this series, because same as me, they are also just hugely disappointed. (The only two major aspects that redeemed this drama are the main actors and actresses performance and its cinematography. 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. 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 found one recurring thing unbelievable. In order to ask Chairman Oh to give Hoon another chance, Prime Minister Jang manages to sneak away from the presidents spy during the aftermath of a breakfast hosted for family members separated by the 38th parallel. They'd even dated [i]gasp[/i] other people. It's the writing/directing/show I'm talking about. Observations this week: Lee Jong-seok needs to get himself back into white coats stat because that coordi is awful. Surely the people close to them would have been happy to know theyre alive and would have kept it a secret. Do I see lots of interaction? May wrote, the show 'forces' one to accept their relationship. 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. (S01E03) is the third episode of season one of "Doctor Stranger" r Is Jae Hee Still Alive? He tears through the house looking for her, and ends up opening the door to the bathroom. I have not watched Doctor Romantic actually, and haven't tried D-Day nor Hospital Ship. Doctor Stranger S1: E1 Park Cheol Saves the Leader of En.. 2014 HD TagDub. 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. That was our plan from the start. Why? Send. 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. Three cheers for Hoon being proactive! I did take me a while to get into it. Not even a little bit. If he pursues one side, the other isnt possible. This is the first time I've watched her so I can't really tell. The actor also played it that he always had a playful and a bit tyrannical vibe with his much put upon secretary while his interaction with his female lead was a lot more layered. 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. In fact, theres more of all that than romance. I love that she's a competent professional even if Hoon calls her a quack, and a concerned friend to him. Why must it be him? 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. Okay so lets see the plot holes that annoyed me so much, it almost ruined the whole story because these dont make sense. Only, that scenario is revealed to have been a figment of Agent Chas imagination, since Hoons quasi-reunion with Seung-hee goes on uninterrupted. But in the video scene, JH looked somewhat awake/conscious of her actions when she was saying "hoon ah" and holding out her hand. He deeply fell in love with Jae Hee (Jin Se-yeon) in his high school. 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. 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. a). It kept me interested, wanting to know her identity and reasons no matter what her identity is. First 2 episodes basically focuses on the frantic pace of all that has happened. He took Park Hoon along because Hoons mother refused to care for him. (P.S. Its sad because he thinks that shes only acting this way because he didnt look for her, and he does everything but get on his knees to apologize. Many Korean actors/actress do drama while having concerts and/or variety shows at the same time. 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. 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. The mood and tone at that shot is not meant to be that. (function(d, s, id) { She was equally upset when she broke it, even though she covered it up. 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? We start off with Park Hoons dadPark Cheola brilliant heart surgeon, being called to North Korea. I just donotlike the way Seung-Hees character was written and directed. 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. And if I go further, the same can also be said of Hoon's current state in SK--he's a stranger both literally and metaphorically, as he lives in a world that he's long since forgotten, and his quest to finding Jae Hee is what anchors him back to his reality. Outside of her, Hoon have virtually nobody left to care for. I guess we have a few more weeks of flat line deliveries to find this out. All the things around Jae-hee are just impossibility. This might end up like rooftop prince. That whole heartbeat thing was total BS. Are they going to kill him off after that or? Other plot holes: how'd Hoon get from Budapest post-shooting, to SK anyway? 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. A Good Supper (MBC, 2021); Blessing of the Sea (MBC, 2019); Voice 2 (OCN, 2018) cameo; You Are Too Much (MBC, 2017) I am glad that I read this because there are two medical dramas that haven't been able to watch and doctors and Dr Stranger are those. 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'. I would give this drama major kudos if Hoon and Soo-Hyun end up together. How did the writers or anyone else in the making of the show not notice?? There were so many elaborate plots and set-ups for a seemingly small thing. Then of course his magical lurve will unlock the amnesia part of her noggin, then there will be tears, and noble idiocy and angst and possible more "death". I didn't read the plot or anything, just dived right into it. In the background, mystery regarding Dr. Han Seung Hee's and Officer Cha's mission is brought into light. There, he fell deeply in love with Song Jae-hee (Jin Se-yeon). Here, I am hoping for Soo Hyun & Hoon come true. 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. Urgh. 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. I happen to see lots of interaction between him and Dr Moon too. You will receive a link to create a new password via email. Copyright TV Time. (and well, i still think this feels like a one-sided love. Soo-Hyun ends up liking Hoon and her journey on that plotline was pretty interesting to watch as well. jae hee had to bad kidney so she got a new one so that means she isnt it right? They have chemistry, and in a rom-com format, I might have shipped them together too. This is the one drama I tell people NOT to watch if they're just starting out. Im actually hoping he falls in love with her but i mean thats 99.9% out of the question so ill just not hope in that. additionally, soo-hyun better fits jae-joon. We use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website. I don't really mind if Hoon ends up with either or neither. So I don't exactly know what your complaints are about, but sure, point taken. BUT, it's very strange how i didn't feel as inclined for the Angel Eyes pairing of first loves as much as Doctor Stranger. i mean i get the amount of politics is very heavy in this drama which i also understand since it can be annoying. Moon because gosh, those two are hilarious. Can't she be killed already? I never understood the other ship because the male lead was always a "mentor" to the 2nd female lead in my eyes. The rest of the plot is centred around two other leadsHan Jae-Joon and Oh Soo-Hyun who are also doctors at the hospital. ZaaZaaSierra. Any others? It feels like a missing building block right now. Shes Jae-hee! he says, tears welling in his eyes. It was to decide who would be performing surgery on the vice president. It lessens his character, one with unique background and dark history of being a doctor in the NK human lab. 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. Hoon is definitely no angel, as he himself have done countless immoral practices of medicine, which arguably fast-tracked his growth and in part made him the genius doctor that he is now. 1:38:06. 13.4K Views. Daughter of the Director and The Best Heart Surgeon. A hot,sexy, badass spygirl~ahem, she is neither hot nor sexy actually the other anesthesiologist in the drama actress Han Eun-Sun i think, she is the real hoty, infact she is the sexiest of them all :D, The one who keep tease that glasses surgeon? Soo-hyun is just so much more likeable than Seung-hee/Jae-hee. I mean, his girlfriend's mother just died and he's going to walk away from her just because some other guy was closer by virtue of actually having been involved? Please Director-nim scold him Has anyone thought that maybe Jin Se Yeon's problem is burn out(extreme fatigue)? Honestly every trope has its cliche, I'm in for it as long as the characters make me feel for them. He also got shot and fell into the lake. Also, if weird things occur such as you, rooting for the 2nd female lead for the first time in your over a decade of voraciously consuming gazillion of drama series, you just couldnt stop because it is such a bloody mystery that needs to be solved. and yeah, all these people after hoon like wtfcalm the eff down. This video is currently unavailable. Foolishly, I was too happy to notice and just typed this along the way. We got some action and mystery, which Im all for. I think it's both way though. . Its very difficult to grasp all of the different aspects between the characters, such as tone, choice of words, and expressions. In my eyes, she is, Hoon replies. Five, Jae-Joon knew that they survived. I cannot emphatize with her characters. He is most likely the one who bring both Hoon & Jae Hee to Korea. After an article appeared in Korean ladies magazine .
