This is a very complex character to play and casting JSY in it is not a good choice. Seung Hee is not like that, she's quiet, she's cold, she's non-chalant to the point that she's boring. Kailangan tumulong si Hoon dahil sa kakulangan sa doktor. the very least, Lee Jong Suk and Park Hae-jin were really good in this drama. Plot holes are when something did not make sense (not the same as the audience not understanding) or did not gel up with an earlier scene. She put it on Soo Hyun's mother's wrist and was upset when Hoon found it. One, how did Hoon finally reach South Korea from Budapest? I remember looking forward to each episode every week it came out. Its a rarity and definitely a fortunate turn of role casting for KSR. Lol but like u said that's 99.99% out of the question lol!!! I really liked her. i hope she doesnt lose that by becoming a biotch. My theory is: Seung-hee is really a spy and not Jae-hee at all. The mystery and thrilling underlying plotlines related to politics and disagreement between South Korea and North Korea were pretty good to watch. Thanks for the insight madhatter. 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? 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. Instead he sees (imagines?) It just makes me want more of their scenes together. 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???? He's desperate to save the woman he left behind in North Korea. 239 Views. 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. 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. A verification email has been sent to your new email address. But that is exactly the problem. the subs in the video i watched seemed to not have that line. As a child, Park Hoon (Lee Jong-suk) and his father Park Cheol (Kim Sang-joong) were tricked and sent to North Korea. I did take me a while to get into it. I find her bland and boring either way. Its not realistic, especially since it happened ALL THE TIME. The mood and tone at that shot is not meant to be that. 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. "I think one big problem with the Hoon-Jae-Hee/ Seung-hee relationship is that we have not really see them interact. In North Korea, Park Hoon was trained to become a doctor by his father who was already a famous doctor. what's the point of all the sacrifices they've made if PH just ends with another girl. Im 100% with you on the chemistry from the imaginary surgery scene. 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. It ignited a passion for clinical medicine inside me and that's how I chose my major in college lol. // Load the SDK asynchronously It's the writing/directing/show I'm talking about. I am trying really hard to stay on board with A New Leaf but its slowly losing its touch. Seduce her Hoon and open her skirt =). Afterall, not everyone enjoys or understands the mystery and plot. 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. Betrayed, bewildered wrong response?" But in the video scene, JH looked somewhat awake/conscious of her actions when she was saying "hoon ah" and holding out her hand. It makes me see the plotholes getting bigger, see many ridiculous explanations and see many forced logics. I want to watch the tension between PH and JJ, not over Soohyun, but over what being a doctor means to both of them. Alessandra Jungco. Anyways, I wish I could spend time writing all my thoughts about this episode but alas, off I go on a trip.
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. Seriously.

After Seung-hee officially introduces herself to the rest of the Cardiothoracic Crew, Hoon asks for a minute of her timeonly he calls her formally as Seung-hee now. He tells her how much he misses her as he reaches out to hold her hand. 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. 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. 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. 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). Back to Soo Hyun, the pro camp kept repeating that the couple is very cute together. I liked him well enough but I HATED the other main character. I mean, come on. There were a series of surgical competitions set up by the hospitals authorities for Hoon and Jae-Joon. Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum. JSY's issues start with the very basic like emoting.

I am shockingly one of those thousands of delusional fans who are shipping Park Hoon and Oh Soo Hyun to end up together. So weird because in my over a decade of watching Kdramas I never shipped a 2nd female lead but DS breaks this record. This is a history in the making! One of the main plotlines revolves around requiring Hoon to do the heart surgery of the vice president, which was weird for a long time. How right. Is jae hui pretend to be seung hui? Jae Hee's confession to Soo Hyun that she will be leaving soon confirmed my suspicion that there's a higher probability that the ending of this series won't veer away from the original ending in the book (Doctor Stranger is based in a best-seller book - Northern Doctor).

Season: 1. but really, in all seriousness, Hoon better end up with Jae-hee. He tears through the house looking for her, and ends up opening the door to the bathroom. If she still had two kidneys, there would have been no need for Hoon to "kill" her father by taking his one remaining kidney to give to his daughter. Of course, thats if the Seung-hee persona is a disguise. Lee Jong-Suk as Park Hoon was the highlight of the show. 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.

Its cute how Soo-hyun tries to cheer him up by asking him about his life, only Hoons memories of his parents are unhappy oneslike his father getting shot, and his mother never caring. weird. 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. 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. Hoons eyes grow wide the second Seung-hee unmasks in front of him, but he manages to contain himself this time. I really want to like this because I started watching for LJS, and the chemistry b/n him and KSR is pretty intriguing. I love LJS but if PH is going to spend the entire show running around just trying to find JH, it annoys me. I like soo hyun. 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. Rate. Rate. version : 'v2.2' // use version 2.2 This show is strange. Ha.

Each person has a different heartbeat. Hoon wont listen when Soo-hyun says that Seung-hee is ignoring him because she doesnt know him, and asks Soo-hyun how she can believe that when she saw the video of Jae-hee. 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.

My Kpop Life: Doctor Stranger: Couple Pairings - Blogger I also liked that Hoon used to picture and practice his upcoming surgeries before-hand. 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?? Although Jae Joon intended to use Soo Hyun at first, the guy seriously fell in love with her. I agree. 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. here, she's playing someone interesting, and I'm looking forward to seeing her (haven't watched yet). They'd even dated [i]gasp[/i] other people. Chang-yi all but pouts when she hears this, wishing more than anything that Hoon would just forget about Jae-hee. 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. And why in the preview did the how many kidneys thing come up yet again? Is it just me, or is the plot of this drama basically a giant plot hole? I have to say LJS is doing a superb job with his character. But I just couldnotlike her how much ever I tried. It is much more interesting. For that I appreciate the fact that you're just as engrossed to that pairing koala. 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. I really enjoyed the drama because of the unique premise and think that LJS and JSY had great chemistry. Regardless, if she is Jae-hee or not, she is still a spy which she has to hide. Agent Cha loads his gun and, unable to control himself, mutters Long live the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea before he shoots Hoon twice.

Her facial expressions in that scene showed contempt and disgust towards Park Hoon. Is Jae Hee Still Alive? When he comes to, Doctor Moon is there to take him to meet Chairman Oh.

Why I dropped Doctor Stranger (Discussion/Review) : r/KDRAMA - reddit 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.

Well, it turns out that when he was a teenager, his father passed away during surgery due to medical malpractice. If she had amnesia (it has to be right after the bridge, isn't it? Thus while I can see this drama worming itself happily in all sort of plot holes, but I don't think it will give us what we want in term of Hoon and Soo-Hyun kisses. 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. Any others? Girlfriday, hope you had a good laugh because i certainly did when i stumbled onto this old postXD. And since theres a convenient shortage of anesthesiologists, Seung-hee steps up to the plate to help(?)

No one gets a kidney transplant if they've got one good kidney left. His quest to find her is what keeps the wheel turning, and JSY's flat portrayal more or less deflates that wheel. all these cliff hangers are taking its toll on me. For now she's probably the only one who really empathizes with PH, and I love that. Though I enjoyed the medical suspense part, the utterly obvious plot holes, illogical character development, and ridiculous storyline are just too much. Through chance circumstances, he gets hired as a surgeon in Myungwoo University Hospital andmeets an anesthesiologist by the name Han Seung-Hee who looksexactlylike Hoons Song Jae-Hee.

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. It was the same expression throughout her screen time in the show. Hoon remembers her kidney transplant (that he performed), which would leave the real Jae-hee with only one kidney. Coming with a completely different storyline,Han Jae-Joon held his own on screen against Hoon and Soo-hyun. Jae-hee is Park Hoon's soul mate who was separated from him while they were escaping from North Korea; Seung-hee is a North Korean woman and is a specialist in oriental medicine anesthesia. 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. Since you liked Dr romantic and Dr John have you tried d-day and hospital ship? Unfortunately for him, shes got other plans. Theyre so obvious! Security is so lax that Agent Cha gets to just stand by in clear view and watch as Seung-hee accompanies Chang-yis suddenly-unconscious mother to the operating room. As a child, a man and his father are kidnapped and brought to North Korea. 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. While a lot of us can spot the obvious stuff, that is something I doubt any of us knew. 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. A lot of her facial expressions are inscrutable; I don't think it's because of the actress or anything, but she's probably given the same amount of information we are so she's not really able to express a hell of a lot, just in case the writer goes a different way~! Seung-hee looks to Soo-hyun for help as she pulls her wrist out of Hoons grasp, and at least Soo-hyun tries to diffuse the situation by asking Seung-hee whether she knows anyone named Song Jae-hee. HOWEVER the rest of the show was awful.
Doctor Stranger - Season 1 - IMDb All to say, at this point I find it hard to ship anyone.

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. The show is forcing us to believe in the Hoon-Jaehee relationship but not showing us enough about WHY we should believe in it. Seriously I thought this heart beat thing is something I did not learn from my boring biology class!! Aired: May 27, 2014. 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. YASSSSS! Is Jae Hee Still Alive?

Doctor Stranger is currently the only drama outta the current bunch thats got me hooked. 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. Soo-Hyun ends up liking Hoon and her journey on that plotline was pretty interesting to watch as well. The supporting characters were okay but not that impressive.

I think it was during that scene where Park Hoon gives cpr to a baby when I realized that the show was not going to improve. When a horrendous traffic accident creates chaos at a local hospital, Park Hoon winds up preforming an unlicensed surgery to save a dying father.

Also, I have seen the main actress in this and Born Again and I have since refused to watch any of her shows.
