I was confused as to why he was chosen and why they needed him. 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. Anyways, I wish I could spend time writing all my thoughts about this episode but alas, off I go on a trip. 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. Watch Online on Viu PH 6.

Like, in the end, hoon and soo hyun will fall in love with each other and will actually end up together. Which episode would you say was the turning point for you? 4 . That little detail has never been explained. Two people cannot have the same heartbeat. 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* very much agree with you there for first loves in kdramas. I'd pretty much want him to be left alone, to move on from his first love. Regardless of Jae-joons defense, Soo-hyun asks him to take it easy on Hoonafter all, they work together now.

Rumors are spreading that Jin Se Yeon herself suggested the hairstyle for Han Seung Hee during her character study, making this the first time since her debut that Jin Se Yeon has bobbed hair, thus she is showing a different passion towards acting. His quest to find her is what keeps the wheel turning, and JSY's flat portrayal more or less deflates that wheel. So many has mentioned that Seung Hee is practicing/copying JH in the laptop scene. I've watched her in 3 very different dramas: Gaksital, Age of Feeling, Doctor Stranger. ^Ditto. I am trying really hard to stay on board with A New Leaf but its slowly losing its touch.

I was SO wrong. i mean i get the amount of politics is very heavy in this drama which i also understand since it can be annoying. 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. It feels like a missing building block right now. Using Myung Woo University Hospital as the background, the drama portrays a story of love and competition with the characters standing in the center of a North Korean conspiracy to select the team members of the surgery team that will operate on the South Korean Prime Minister Jang Seok Joo (Cheon Ho Jin.).

In reality, how many of us have looked back to past boyfriends or old flames and asked ourselves (What did I see in him/her at the time?). Shes Jae-hee! he says, tears welling in his eyes. Thats his aim. May 4, 2014. . Pleaseee i want to know. Haven't watched this too many episodes .. it's on my watchlist, for exclusive curated content & access to the resource library, Pretty Little ScribblesStuck in FictionThe Perks of Being NouraLeostheticsAlly Writes Things. Master's Sun. Why? There were so many elaborate plots and set-ups for a seemingly small thing. Doctor Stranger is currently the only drama outta the current bunch thats got me hooked. It's not like the rest of the main cast have been stellar. I don't really see how the old age is helpful. Oof what foolish plot holes. I don't think the writers are lost. Soo-hyun is left with a devastated Hoon after Seung-hee leaves, and she gently coaxes him away as she promises to help him arrange another meeting with his maybe-love. 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.

She throws things at him in response, and manages to knock him out cold with a flimsy plastic bowl. 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. 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. I like both Hoon and Soo Hyun as characters and they are the easiest to root for in the show, by far. As of July 7, 2014 it has been streamed close to 400 million times. They'd even dated [i]gasp[/i] other people. 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. but really, in all seriousness, Hoon better end up with Jae-hee. In episode 17, I had finally deciphered Jae Hees ultimate intention. All along Ive been doubting her motives for coming to South Korea. Her role as a North Korean spy (who is in cahoots with the Prime Minister to put the President in coma) has a very clear mission to fulfill, and rekindling her romantic interest to Park Hoon is just part of the show to finish it.

Nice to have some real expertise in that area. If they were trying to show that PH is madly crazily in love with JH, fine, we get that. There is a huge range of audience maturity which could also be influenced by age, culture and exposure just to list some factors. Soo-hyun is just so much more likeable than Seung-hee/Jae-hee. 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. I want to watch the tension between PH and JJ, not over Soohyun, but over what being a doctor means to both of them. but to rate it, i would say 7.5, im not that a picky of watching drama unless its really that boring or problematic then thats another topic. So yeah, probably right time to bring on a huge revelation. I really want to like this because I started watching for LJS, and the chemistry b/n him and KSR is pretty intriguing. 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. This episode was an episode which just re-established what we already knew, and what we don't, we still don't. I feel the same. }); Hoons eyes grow wide the second Seung-hee unmasks in front of him, but he manages to contain himself this time. 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. LJS did 2 dramas and 3 movies last year, half of them overlapped, and the quality of his acting did not suffer. 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. In the book, Park Hoon will end up with Soo Hyun. I just wish . or This drama has so many plot holes but it still can enjoyable if it jusr flows the way it is for the entertaining purpose only. 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. With both SH and Hoon asking what Dr Moon is doing there. 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. Only a few times did I see hersmileand look sad but that also didnt look genuine, somehow. Moon because gosh, those two are hilarious. Reviews: 1 user. I suspect that her brain will awake when she interacts with Hoon and then her brain will try to fight the chip that controls her. 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. Do you want to see them on their first date, first kiss, first whatever before believing they are in a relationship? I'll be praying on your behalf. Foolishly, I was too happy to notice and just typed this along the way. In both characters that I mentioned above, you can definitely see them focused on whatever murderous intent that they are trying to convey. First 2 episodes basically focuses on the frantic pace of all that has happened. But I do think it's probably about time for them to ease on the mystery a little. Although they did get back together Miss Korea was pretty realistic about how the main couple weren't and couldn't be the same people they'd been in high school. I love that she's a competent professional even if Hoon calls her a quack, and a concerned friend to him. Dream High, That Winter The Wind Blows, and Biscuit Teacher Star Candy, if anyone's interested in knowing. Soo-hyun tells her father that shes staying at Moms house tonightwhich isnt untrue, since Seung-hees house is Moms house. All the things around Jae-hee are just impossibility. 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. I did not see any emotion in her. This is the first time I've watched her so I can't really tell. Park Hoon is eccentric (with a matching hairstyle), playful and a genius. I would love to see stiff competition between Hoon and Jae-joon in the operating table too. Is it me or does heads pick shows which are very unique and good in the beginning and lose their brains later? 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. Father and daughter share a moment as she sheds a few tears in his arms, and hes sweet enough to even wipe away her tears. i hope she doesnt lose that by becoming a biotch.

How much time has she given herself for self reflection? Had Soo Hyun & Jae Joon met up at the end and visited a memorial or raised a glass to the two of them it would've made for a much more powerful ending IMO. After watching three shows of his and loving all of them, I decided Im bingeing the shows in which hes a lead. let her die together with Agent Cha, thank you! 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.

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. 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. Ngl I watched this drama for LJS. fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); (: Doctor Stranger Episode 17 The Shattering of Jae Hees Pretense. i loved this episode every bit of it . the pace has slowed down way too much thats probably because i am more a movie person rather than series. i am not one of those who can take the anticipation thats probably the reason why i loved the first two episode where things happened quick and there were unexpected twist at every turn which only made it even more interesting for me and got me hooked on to the show permanently. from ep 5 on the show has ceratinly slowed down may be it is finally time to fit the zigsaw bit by bit. and while doing so the drama now has caught on to the romantic side of it by bring in jae hee completely into the picture which i am loving so so much.. i was afraid that we would barely get to see her but am grateful that it is doesn't happen to be so instead acc to the preview we will get to see more of hoon and jae hee which is super awesome dont' let me down show.
