Three Days did not follow a conventional romance structure but its second female lead is solidly on the side of 'good'. appId : '127538621120543', IT was not explained as well?? There is that sense of mutuality not only in feelings but also identity to both that I like, and would want to be explored some more. Reviews: 1 user. And Soo-hyun is awesome. The plot holes were annoying as heck. Doctor Stranger is 2014 K-drama series starring Lee Jong-suk, one of the most popular K-drama actors right now. Agree with HeadsNo2, more moments of them two please. Doctor Stranger S1: E7 Seung Hee Falls in Love with Hoon 2014 HD TagDub. THE ACCIDENTAL DETECTIVE TAGALOG DUBBED. 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. 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. Add to it, I kept thinking LJS and Kang Sora will get together because they had real chemistry not the leads but no. Doctor Stranger broke my heart because it had a really cool premise and I thought the first episode was great. She had to have her father's kidney transplanted into her to survive, so technically she has just one kidney. The contrast between Kmovie dialogue and Kdrama dialogue is amazing. 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 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. js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; . But I just couldnotlike her how much ever I tried. Hoon is sure that Seung-hee is Jae-hee, and seems lost in his own mind as he compliments her new hairstyle. And in that way she'll get him back to Myungwoo Hospital, because if she goes, he'll want to follow. 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. And honestly, I do feel some pity for PHJ's character, but they sure are piling on the second lead tropes. 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. Required fields are marked *, "Explain the @#$%^ plot to me RIGHT NOW or I am going to blow your [emailprotected]#$% BRAINS out!". It was a never ending one -upmanship in the hospital and as said by others, the ML and FL (who I was surprised was the FL and not Kang Sora) had zero chemistry. Not at all. 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 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. Oh Soo-Hyun, on the other hand, was a really good lead. Thinking back she was right and I'm glad she didn't watch any more of the drama lolol. we dont know what exacatly and why. While Soo-hyun tries and fails to stop Hoon, Seung-hee tells Agent Cha that he made the right choice in letting her show herself. I don't think this was explained in the first half I watched. Not just Soo-hyun's but also pretty Doctor Moon. I really want to like this because I started watching for LJS, and the chemistry b/n him and KSR is pretty intriguing. But at some points, the plot I spoke of above, did seem unnecessary and foolish. Copyright 2022 VTM StudiosVTM or Vlaamse Televisie Maatschappij is the main commercial television station in Flanders and forms part of a network of channe. However, he only gets Hoons attention when he shows him a picture of Jae-hee and that sympathetic Hungarian doctor. I kept cooking up theories. A Good Supper (MBC, 2021); Blessing of the Sea (MBC, 2019); Voice 2 (OCN, 2018) cameo; You Are Too Much (MBC, 2017) Back to Soo Hyun, the pro camp kept repeating that the couple is very cute together. In the background, mystery regarding Dr. Han Seung Hee's and Officer Cha's mission is brought into light. Not even a little bit. 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. Jae Hees pretense has now been shattered. Oh, YEAH! How right. definitely need more of it. But yeah, the fact that I can name only three probably means our Soo-hyun is to be consigned to the same fate as Chilbongie. Especially a person who has accepted her fate. 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. I tried watchingI Can Hear Your Voicebecause I saw a blog post that said hes amazing in it. That was our plan from the start.". The plan goes awry and Hoon crosses alone. Have you seen it? Thank you for your patience. Reply to May too since the reply button is missing from her post. One side would have had to reach out or Jae-Joon would have saved them and I dont see how? 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! This show is strange. Lol but like u said that's 99.99% out of the question lol!!! Urgh. I liked the PH/Soohyun scenes because those felt real. :), At first-- I hear your voice. 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. Over 868 TV Time users rated it a 19.6/10 with their favorite characters being Lee Jong-suk as Park Hoon, Kang So-ra as Oh Soo-Hyun and Jin Se-yun as Song Jae-Hee / Han Seung-Hee. That almost never ends well. Jin Se Yeon will undergo an acting transformation as the heroine of this turbulent romance that frequents between North and South Korea. It's not Hoon's fault, it's the fault of the scriptwriter. He tells her how much he misses her as he reaches out to hold her hand. She adamantly refuses that shes Jae-Hee but Hoon doesn't accept that, believing that she is Jae-hee. Then, I decided to try Doctor Stranger and went in with low expectations because I hadnt heard much praise for this one. 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. 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. i know very few dramas where they move on from first loves (Twelve Men in a Year, I Need a Romance)and they weren't executed in the best way. Seriously. I feel the same. Thanks for the insight madhatter. YASSSSS! 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. Whenever things went wrong in his head, he started over until he was sure that he can perform the surgery successfully. It was to decide who would be performing surgery on the vice president. I want to watch the tension between PH and JJ, not over Soohyun, but over what being a doctor means to both of them. 4. 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. Why's he in Myungwoo, you ask? Dream High, That Winter The Wind Blows, and Biscuit Teacher Star Candy, if anyone's interested in knowing. i just wish they would stick to the plot of the love triangle between Hoon-Soohyun-Jae-joon. and even if she wasn't, i'll acknowledge the fact that she loves him, but i don't feel it. It is much more interesting. 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). This drama was a mess. Jae-joon in surgery. Dr. 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. 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. But Seung-hee, unafraid, convinced Agent Cha to let her meet Hoon. or makibao111. To my understanding, JaeHee was dead or nearly dead, and the NK revived her and insert some kind of chip in her brain to wipe her memory and control her and sent her back to SK with a mission as SeungHee. Since on the day they were leaving for N. Korea, both father and son left home at the same time. The OST "Stranger" by Bobby Kim is italian chef kiss though. In not many words, she is a spy. Completely agree with you. Soo-Hyun ends up liking Hoon and her journey on that plotline was pretty interesting to watch as well. "I think one big problem with the Hoon-Jae-Hee/ Seung-hee relationship is that we have not really see them interact. Whoops. On a side note, I love soohyun. Some plot lines just really didn't add up and I find myself confused by the end of each episode. 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* And how? Im 100% with you on the chemistry from the imaginary surgery scene. 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. not that I'm complaining, love her character to bits!. History 3. Although Jae Joon intended to use Soo Hyun at first, the guy seriously fell in love with her. First loves seems to be a cure-all for all romantic inclinations. Jin Se Yeon will be playing Song Jae Hee, the first love of Park Hoon whom he met in North Korea, and also play the role of Han Seung Hee, an anesthesiologist that possesses the same face as Song Jae Hee, but holds a mysterious identity. Outside of her, Hoon have virtually nobody left to care for. window.fbAsyncInit = function() { He explains that his only way of apologizing for what he did to Hoon was to make him a doctor at the hospital, and that he plans to help him find Jae-hee. 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. Where Soo-hyun is wearing only a towel. 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 think I made it through 4 episodes before I couldnt anymore. That whole heartbeat thing was total BS. Because her character isn't expressive by design and it takes special talent to give the proper nuances to break that monotony. The supporting characters were okay but not that impressive. We start off with Park Hoons dadPark Cheola brilliant heart surgeon, being called to North Korea. For me it has always been more of the "Don't forget you're a doctor" part that I want more of, instead of "I NEED MY ONE TRUE LOVE". I think a better ending would be if Park Hoon just didn't get with anyone ya know. Honestly every trope has its cliche, I'm in for it as long as the characters make me feel for them. With both SH and Hoon asking what Dr Moon is doing there. Why? 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. Of all the people, why him? 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. Though admittedly, I didnt expect that Doctor will be making this particular plot point reveal before even reaching the halfway cour. 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. At this point, I cant help but blame the actress. 170 Views. I want to argue that Kdramas have a problem moving on to second loves. Thanks for the recap HeadsNo2. It just makes me want more of their scenes together. Observations this week: Lee Jong-seok needs to get himself back into white coats stat because that coordi is awful. It's the writing/directing/show I'm talking about. But the prime minister gets a visitor in the bathroom, and one he seems quite familiar with: Agent Cha. Rate. Beside, she's just an ok actress not a genious young actress that is able to pull out the double roles. Seung Hee is not like that, she's quiet, she's cold, she's non-chalant to the point that she's boring. Seduce her Hoon and open her skirt =). However. Sheworkedhard. Only show I can recall with a bad 2nd male and good 2nd female is King of Baking, Kim Takgu. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm close. He's desperate to save the woman he left behind in North Korea. 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. Because of that, Agent Cha asks Prime Minister Jang to use a little muscle to get Chairman Oh to accept Hoon back, otherwise their plan is over. 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. I still have to see the ending before Ill decide if this drama is worth anyones time. As of this writing there are 2 more episodes to go until the finale. This series will end next week, Tuesday night. K1ngkang v2. I was confused as to why he was chosen and why they needed him. FB.init({ 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. also. I love LJS but if PH is going to spend the entire show running around just trying to find JH, it annoys me. They need PH in their big conspiracy, but for what? SeungHee is JaeHee. FB.init({ Which episode would you say was the turning point for you? 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. idk how do you guys feel about that pairing. 5. While Lee Jong-suk does an excellent job portraying his despair in wanting Jae-hee back, their relationship is not really believable. Regardless, if she is Jae-hee or not, she is still a spy which she has to hide. 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~! Doctor Stranger - Episode 1. 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. Her task probably to keep Park Hoon check on her watch.Remember when Park Hoon hug her in that hall(? Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. The show is forcing us to believe in the Hoon-Jaehee relationship but not showing us enough about WHY we should believe in it. That's like drama speak of "you're never getting with the male lead, girl!" 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 !!! Oh "Coffee House" - my favorite ever!!! In. Its fate, Hoon thinks to himself. Hoon has some impossible abilities( X ray eyes and hands and super hearing ability like dogs), just like Soo-ha's from IHYV. (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/. Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum. 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. Also, surgery masks are VERY good for showing off eye makeup! with so much Soo Hyun and Hoon moments, I keep thinking that she's the main girl lead. He comes across . Well, it turns out that when he was a teenager, his father passed away during surgery due to medical malpractice. 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. She could quite easily defect and bring the whole weird nest of plotters down, so what is holding her back? There, he fell deeply in love with Song Jae-hee (Jin Se-yeon). Right after the scene where Hoon gets knocked out by the flying basin at Soo Hyun's mom's house Dr Moon showed up. although I strongly doubt she will become" Talented" in 1 week, you either have it or don't . 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. I didn't read the plot or anything, just dived right into it. I wonder if the PD likes to twist things around justfor the sake of it. You deserve an extraordinary show to recap after putting up splendidly with all this crazy ones . Till then, am gonna sit back, relax and just go along with the spectacle ! I cannot hear heartbeat properly when I hug my kids or husband tightly. 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. Instead he sees (imagines?) Prime Minister Jang runs into some issues in creating a committee without strict presidential oversight, with a fair number of assemblymen on his side. Is jae hui pretend to be seung hui? Loved the Soo-hyun and Hoon scenes in this, this is the first time I'm shipping the male lead with the 2nd female lead. Any others? I suspect a certain segment of audience would appreciate being told what is going on rather than sit back and enjoy the mystery plot. I doesn't sound like a case of "I think the Prime Minister wants to protect him since he owes Hoon a debt". But Nightshade wants to see her other skills. Well, it turns out that when he was a teenager, his father passed away during surgery due to medical malpractice. I've seen her do well in vibrant roles before, but being cold and monotonous only serves to compound on her weakness. It just felt like we were going round in circles about the same spot, looking at the same thing. When he comes to, Doctor Moon is there to take him to meet Chairman Oh. 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? ;). And for a spy who should imitate after someone, wouldn't she have already seen that video and practiced all she needs even before coming over to SK? It is like the black hole of plot holes. I could feel their characters growing from those. to see him improve with each roll he takes on is so impressive). 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.
