But thats just a minor detail (admittedly one of many) that I can easily overlook as I'm loving this show so far! New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Wohoo! The North Korean scenes were nice but by far not enough considering what happened afterwards. 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. 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. 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. 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. I also felt the 'hanging over the bridge' drama was overdone - it was pretty gutwrenching in Episode 2 but repeating it just seemed a little cheesy and took away from the gravity of the original scene.

Watch Doctor Stranger - Season 1 | Prime Video - amazon.com There goes my weekly dose of Doctor Stranger and discussing it with all the wonderful people here. To build upon to what I said in the previous thread, the problems are twofold: 1) as you pointed out Seung Hee is not an easy character to play (especially as a Protagonist), it's so easy to fall into a mediocre one-dimensional monotony with it, because clearly there are less lines and less freedom for the actor to flesh out this character with, unlike say, Hoon or Soo Hyun, who are very dynamic and demands an array of emotions. While Doctor Moon likens Hoons Jae-hee Sightings to people who think theyve seen aliens, Hoon calls Chang-yis mother to enlist her help in confirming whether Seung-hee is Jae-hee. I was enjoying bits and pieces of this show without really getting involved in the plot or understanding it but somehow it only registered today that heads no.2 is recapping this show and suddenly I'm scared both for her and me.

Well i got curious about it and Google information related to it and surprisingly, the heartbeat is actually unique! In not many words, she is a spy. 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. My recommendation to her is to take a break and go on a long and nice holiday. in fact, i didn't enjoy it because somehow it felt more unnatural. Only a few times did I see hersmileand look sad but that also didnt look genuine, somehow. 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.

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? I need more to feel more, but I doubt we'll get that since the show has obviously moved on from establishing that. 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?? And since theres a convenient shortage of anesthesiologists, Seung-hee steps up to the plate to help(?) The thing is, we're just thrown a lot of facts about them and we're supposed to just take it that they're madly in love with each other, without really feeling it. let her die together with Agent Cha, thank you!

I will mention the details of the plot holes in a spoiler section below. it's okay, I am not invested in her character at all either. Dr Moon if I'm not mistaken.. Hmm, she's a hotty alright,but I never seen her the scene in the less than 10 second, even if she have longer scene,half of her face was covered up with a mask~, Yes, she appeared in few scenes in episode 6, maybe if they gave her more scenes she will steel the show from the girls :)). I did take me a while to get into it. Jae Hee () - MyDramaList When Hoon tries to follow her, Soo-hyun has to physically hold him back. I love LJS but if PH is going to spend the entire show running around just trying to find JH, it annoys me. 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. 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. Never mind that multiple years have gone by and each partner has probably grown and matured in different directions due to different experiences. LOL, yes, Kang So-ra is playing her very well, i admit. She seems disappointed in herself after hanging up, but doesnt return to her seat by the time Hoon comes to. I didn't realize a drama is supposed to convince you of a relationship or anything else. She probably survived the impossible fall cause this is Dr.Stranger land and the stranger the "death" the more chances you're alive. He got his first break as a lead actor in Kim Ki Duk's movie 3-Iron which won awards both locally and internationally and as an effect opened more opportunities for Jae Hee in the entertainment industry. Though I enjoyed the medical suspense part, the utterly obvious plot holes, illogical character development, and ridiculous storyline are just too much. 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's desperate to save the woman he left behind in North Korea. Four, how did Hoon and Jae-hee survive the fall the second time in the last episode? to see him improve with each roll he takes on is so impressive). She was very annoying and Lee Jong-Suks character still pined over her. He became a genius cardiothoracic surgeon after attending medical school in North Korea.

Sorry, watching 'The Man From Nowhere' last night to see what this whole "Won Bin" thing was about. im actually really annoyed by seung hee/jae hee. 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. While Seung-hee sneaks something Kevorkian into Chang-yis moms IV, Agent Cha reports to Nightshade that Seung-hee was successful in the surgery. Hoon slams his glass down. There were multiple (four, if I remember right) such competitions held over several episodes. Practicing? I mean, we thought that the heroine is good,but end up bad all along. JSY doesn't come out as menacing at all, she seems lethargic. Years later, Hoon, a budding genius surgeon, and his girlfriend Song Jae-h=Hee try to escape to South Korea. 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. Jae-Joon also lost his mother to grief. this probably sounds terrible, but i think SH/JH got into AMNESIAafter that dreaded fall on the bridge and FORGOT about her past with Hoon. Why is Jae-hee in heaven? Doctor Stranger (2014) - Full Cast & Crew - MyDramaList 7. It lessens his character, one with unique background and dark history of being a doctor in the NK human lab.

Right now, I don't want PH to end up with Soohyun, but neither do I want him to end up with Jaehee. js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; Season: 1. And although Hoon's undying love for Jaehee is killing me, I still want him with Dr. Quack. 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. So yeah, probably right time to bring on a huge revelation. He is most likely the one who bring both Hoon & Jae Hee to Korea. I cannot emphatize with her characters. Genre: drama, medical, romance, thriller. And honestly, I do feel some pity for PHJ's character, but they sure are piling on the second lead tropes.

I think one big problem with the Hoon-Jae-Hee/ Seung-hee relationship is that we have not really see them interact. the reason why a lot of people feel more for soohyun/hoon is because we see them interacting; we see their characters changing because of each other. Its a shame because the other 3 leads performances are quite splendid. I like JSY and I recognize her limitations too and I'm glad that someone else is able to give a constructive criticism that doesn't go beyond the superficial "oh I like the other actress more, why can't she be the lead" mantra. Since then,hes been looking for Jae-hee. what about identical twins? And viewers don't really care to see if they're crying, angry, sad, or happy, because Cold is their M.O.

You will receive a link to create a new password via email. 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. Speaking of, Hoon wakes up to find framed pictures of Seung-hee hanging on the walls, and immediately thinks of Jae-hee.

[4][5][6] According to the website DailyNK, which reports on North Korea-related issues, the drama was highly popular among North Korean youth who would obtain it illegally at the jangmadang (markets). 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. Even if the writer/director's intention was to make it unclear whether Soohyun or Jae Hee is the real female lead, I felt like Jae Hee was never a viable heroine (not that I think Soohyun is either. I dropped it as soon as I reached the part where Park Hoon meets his old flame at the hospital like.. why? LOL , good for you then, at least someone was convinced with her acting in that scene :D. - I'm trying to figure out how to fit the flashback into the history b/n him and Hon. 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.

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?). version : 'v2.2' // use version 2.2 The show is forcing us to believe in the Hoon-Jaehee relationship but not showing us enough about WHY we should believe in it. Gacha. I didnt like that they made a competition out of important surgeries. How much time has she given herself for self reflection? 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. Park Hoon is eccentric (with a matching hairstyle), playful and a genius. Just because I enjoy Soohyun's character more doesn't make me pro-Sora or anti-JSY. I mean, conveying all those emotions and inhabiting all those characters must be exhausting. Its a rarity and definitely a fortunate turn of role casting for KSR. I couldnt decide if I wanted to give this -1 or -2 so I just went with -1.5. 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. Omggg you read my mind! Another gripe: They need PH in their big conspiracy, but for what? Other plot holes: how'd Hoon get from Budapest post-shooting, to SK anyway? cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access Unless dad told Hoon at some point he was targeted to go NKorea based on Dr Choi's recommendation? Rate. 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. Any others? Honestly, by the time the backstory and reasons were revealed, I still didnt care. Soo-hyun claims shes jealous, and gets this faraway look in her eyes as she wonders how nice it must be for Jae-hee to have someone who cares about her so much. There is a solemnity in that scene.

Soo-Hyun ends up liking Hoon and her journey on that plotline was pretty interesting to watch as well.

But then north korean superspy will become the radiographer and super swaps the resulting scan to leave Dr Park in the dark. I know that its supposed to show Hoon as the only good doctor who cared about the patients and Jae-Joon as someone willing to do anything to climb ranks and destroy the hospital, but still. In the drama, Jin Se Yeon plays the roles of Song Jae Hee, a North Korean medical student, and Han Seung Hee, a South Korean physician. I don't know how this writer can create a show based on nothing but plot holes and unbelievable stuff..and yet here I am, happily taking it all in. My Girl. The head surgeon (currently the chairman) did not apologize at all. Not even a little bit. Why must it be him? Most of time the 1st girl doesn't like him back but then gets jealous when he notices the heroine and she turns into a b*tch. And Jae-Hee is still making no sense - aside from the fact that brainwashing is largely a myth, why is she pretending to be someone else? Doctor Stranger - Episode 1. Min width: 500px. 9. . But if the story is going to be centered around PH loving JH, shouldn't they at least try to convince us that he does? 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. XD I would love to see stiff competition between Hoon and Jae-joon in the operating table too. Where Soo-hyun is wearing only a towel.

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. 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 never understood the other ship because the male lead was always a "mentor" to the 2nd female lead in my eyes. - Didn't Choi advise Dr Moon (just after the committee had an uproar after finding out Hoon's from N Korea) that Hoon is valuable to the nasty Prime Minister? 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. 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.

A Good Supper (MBC, 2021); Blessing of the Sea (MBC, 2019); Voice 2 (OCN, 2018) cameo; You Are Too Much (MBC, 2017) To me, Jae Hee never really felt like the heroine in the drama. what about her scene as Jae hee in Budabet at that bridge where she & park hoon were surrounded by men with guns wanted to kill them ? 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.
