With Hoon-Jae Hee, we see them going from being perfectly strangers to to sharing deeply hidden secrets/feelings. Give Seung Hee more dimensions and have her display more emotions OTHER than trying to be Cold and Reserved. Poor Hoon is so bewildered that his Jae-hee doesnt recognize him, and Seung-hee ends up giving both halves of the bracelet to Soo-hyun before she heads into the hospital for work. In fact, theres more of all that than romance. I hope the writers keep that up and not destroy her character! But you forgot that Soo-hyun kissed another guy! 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. Copyright TV Time. 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. If we cant connect to any of the people in power who are out to get Hoon (because everyone is out to get Hoon), we need at least one person with higher knowledge who can act as Hoons guide to the world of political-turned-medical tomfoolery. Two hearts. Regardless, if she is Jae-hee or not, she is still a spy which she has to hide. 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. In the thrilling conclusion to Doctor Stranger Park Hoon and Jae Hee make the . 2:00:03. 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.

I tried watchingI Can Hear Your Voicebecause I saw a blog post that said hes amazing in it. Doctor Stranger EP 2 Eng Sub - The South Korea Embassy in North Korea rejects Hoon and Jae Hee's application for asylum despite the fact that they are being hunted by the North Korean officials. Empress is a tech enthusiast who loves to read and write. As the world grew smaller and every man over the age of forty was revealed to be part of some nefarious plan involving Hoon, I was at least glad for the inclusion of Director Choi. 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. Rate.

On the run, Jae Hee tries to save Hoon's life and falls into a river. He also got shot and fell into the lake. Doctor Moon wonders whether Seung-hee could be a North Korean spy, and asks Hoon if she had any other identifying markers. 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. Rate. I want PH to realize that he can live even if he doesn't have JH. I wonder if the PD likes to twist things around justfor the sake of it. LJS might has a contract that he only plays roles with super abilities! But the plot holes that Ididpick up annoyed me so much because any explanation was NOT given. Oh "Coffee House" - my favorite ever!!! Hopefully, she dies in this drama too. Please enter your username or email address. I am ashamed myself to expose my ignorance here but I am dying to know! Only a few times did I see hersmileand look sad but that also didnt look genuine, somehow. Probably the most entertaining one of the bunch airing right now but I can't say I love it. SeungHee is JaeHee. The big conspiracy has reached the point of being ridiculous, so I'm just going to tune it out as I do with the lack of realistic possibilities in the drama. Doctor Stranger is 2014 K-drama series starring Lee Jong-suk, one of the most popular K-drama actors right now. (If a romantic moment happens and a second lead isnt there to see it, does it make a sound?) That, or his superpower activated and he detected some sort of cardiac problem in SH necessitating a scan. i only feel sad for the puppy fiancee. According to you, who was the most awesome character in this episode? I have not watched Doctor Romantic actually, and haven't tried D-Day nor Hospital Ship. very much agree with you there for first loves in kdramas. He's desperate to save the woman he left behind in North Korea. It was tragic, poignant, but in the spirit of the show. When he is finally able to return to South Korea, he begins working at a hospital. Those scenes in NK, they've been replaying so many times over it is though those were the /only/ memories they had together. IT was not explained as well?? @Scientia are you kidding me?? Of all the people, why him? The ending will also make you tear out your hair. For that I take the Park Hoon-Jae Hee/Seung Hee couple as the more worthwhile couple over the cute and sassy Hoon-Soo Hyun. I have serious doubts that even the writer knows what the plot is, so how do you expect us to? There were multiple (four, if I remember right) such competitions held over several episodes. 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. And I love this OST it gives me so much feels. 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. Doctor Stranger depicts a medical-intelligence melodrama about a massive conspiracy surrounding a genius doctor born in South Korea but raised in North Korea by the name of Park Hoon (Lee Jong Suk) and South Koreas top elite doctor Han Jae Joon (Park Hae Jin.) Your email address will not be published. Which leads me to the second point--2) JSY lacks intensity, hence she comes out FLAT.

Doctor Stranger (Korean: ; RR:Dakteo Yibangin) is a 2014 South Korean television series starring Lee Jong-suk, Jin Se-yeon, Park Hae-jin and Kang So-Ra. Each person has a different heartbeat. The close contact unsettles her, and while Hoons eyes are closed she reaches out to brush her fingers against his cheek. Somehow. 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. Entire scenes were spent kind-of-maybe-not-really trying to paint a picture of the Big Conspiracy going on, and if the point was merely to show us that there is a conspiracy without revealing anything about said conspiracy, then mission accomplished: were still confused. Because her character isn't expressive by design and it takes special talent to give the proper nuances to break that monotony. Lol! In my over a decade of watching Asian dramas, this is the very first bloody time that I love the 2nd female lead character (Oh Soo Hyun) and hate the first female lead (Jae Hee). I root for Soo Hyun like a lunatic that I want Jae Hee to disappear for good. This video is currently unavailable. Are they going to kill him off after that or? There, he fell deeply in love with Song Jae-hee (Jin Se-yeon). They need PH in their big conspiracy, but for what? Has anyone watched Coffee House? JSY's issues start with the very basic like emoting. While Lee Jong-suk does an excellent job portraying his despair in wanting Jae-hee back, their relationship is not really believable. There was just a time-jump resulting in him being South Korea with no elaboration whatsoever. Only, when he nods off again, we see that Seung-hee really was sitting there, having been called by Soo-hyun. 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. That whole heartbeat thing was total BS. - How is it that he's able to flit b/n N Korea and S Korea so easily? Image must be about this episode. 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.

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. document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Doctor Stranger - Episode 1. 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. That little detail has never been explained. 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". Loving the show so far but the plot can get pretty confusing (or maybe its just the subs). 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. Thanks for the insight madhatter. Sumedha spends her days reading books, bingeing Kdramas, drawing illustrations, and blogging while listening to Lo-Fi music. 170 Views. Whoops. Till then, am gonna sit back, relax and just go along with the spectacle ! I read similar opinions in the show's reviews. 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. not that I'm complaining, love her character to bits!. After being sent to North Korea, Park Hoon and his father were denied access to go back to South Korea. And even PH/Jaejoon. I didn't realize a drama is supposed to convince you of a relationship or anything else. 3. Doctor Stranger S1: E1 Park Cheol Saves the Leader of En.. 2014 HD TagDub. In fact, there is upcoming technology trying to use the unique heartbeat ecg as a means to replace password to unlock things! although I strongly doubt she will become" Talented" in 1 week, you either have it or don't . 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 ;). 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. I really want to like this because I started watching for LJS, and the chemistry b/n him and KSR is pretty intriguing. There he meets Han Seung-hee, a doctor who uncannily resembles Jae-hee. 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. I cannot emphatize with her characters. I mean, we thought that the heroine is good,but end up bad all along. also i cant figure out if jae joon is a good hearted person with problems or hes just a plain baddy with ill intentions. 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. }; So Doctor Moon tries pulling some strings to get her medical records, but when he finds out just how illegal it is, he backs off. (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). (function(d, s, id) { 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. 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.
