Two people cannot have the same heartbeat. I only liked Lee Chang-Yi (whos like a younger sister to Hoon in present-day) because she was cute and level-headed, and Moon Hyung-Wook (Hoons direct boss in the hospital) who was there mostly for humour purposes. It just seems so over the top and borderline ridiculous at times. Your email address will not be published. Ha. to see him improve with each roll he takes on is so impressive). what's the point of all the sacrifices they've made if PH just ends with another girl. Of course, thats if the Seung-hee persona is a disguise. (function(d, s, id) { }; And how? 3 Is Jae Hee Still Alive?

Jae Hee () - MyDramaList Doctor Stranger (Tagalog)Episode 3Filipino Dubbed Okay so lets see the plot holes that annoyed me so much, it almost ruined the whole story because these dont make sense. We got some action and mystery, which Im all for. Im sure Hoon would have stayed there for a long time staring or would have tried to save her as well. Thank you, windsun33. Seung Hee, for the apparent nefarious plot that she's got herself into which I could only imagine as the means that she's willing to take to reach her end--emancipation from her NK trappings and eventually back to Hoon's hands. None of the doctors can figure out why Chang-yis mom keeps fading in and out of consciousness, and for once Hoon chooses to leave his Genius on the back burner so he can look just as confused as everyone else.

New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Anyhow, I like Soohyun but I can't just dislike Jae Hee/Seung Hee yet..even if she end up as bad spy all along, I think I will still like her more. In the thrilling conclusion to Doctor Stranger Park Hoon and Jae Hee make the . I want more of these scenes. Hoon has some impossible abilities( X ray eyes and hands and super hearing ability like dogs), just like Soo-ha's from IHYV. 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. boahh this draama is so confusing really awkward. Seung Hee is not like that, she's quiet, she's cold, she's non-chalant to the point that she's boring. Instead he walks right up to her, wraps his arms around her, and listens. When he comes to, Doctor Moon is there to take him to meet Chairman Oh. JSY's issues start with the very basic like emoting. Soo-hyun tells her father that shes staying at Moms house tonightwhich isnt untrue, since Seung-hees house is Moms house. Reply to May too since the reply button is missing from her post. Jae-hee is alive. in fact, i didn't enjoy it because somehow it felt more unnatural. 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. var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; Okay, I'm way out of topic here. Heartbeats are not like fingerprints. In fact, there is upcoming technology trying to use the unique heartbeat ecg as a means to replace password to unlock things! Her father still had one functioning kidney. FB.init({ If I didn't know better, based on all the skinship moments and her screentime I'd have said she was the female lead of the series. 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. 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. Moon because gosh, those two are hilarious. (My attachment to these fictional characters are getting weirder and weirder.). if (d.getElementById(id)) return; New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Foolishly, I was too happy to notice and just typed this along the way. 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? 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.). Which in this case, from the horseshoe kidney imaging (or what we medically call it as Axial CT Scan since the picture has refreshing properties unlike X-Ray which is static), I can clearly see that there are two (2) kidneys on the right side from our angular view. His quest to find her is what keeps the wheel turning, and JSY's flat portrayal more or less deflates that wheel. Plus he's FIERCELY loyal to JH and it's so OOC for him to be falling for So Hyeon. 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. The ending will also make you tear out your hair. Hoon, just by touching the patients chest, was able to picture the heart and immediately determine whats wrong. Hoon is sure that Seung-hee is Jae-hee, and seems lost in his own mind as he compliments her new hairstyle. Taking your example of PH's parents having a bad relationship, it wasn't like the rest of the story was built on that. LJS did 2 dramas and 3 movies last year, half of them overlapped, and the quality of his acting did not suffer. It is like the black hole of plot holes. Just because I enjoy Soohyun's character more doesn't make me pro-Sora or anti-JSY. Now I'm thinking if I can follow this show, which will be him all the way running after her, basically. SeungHee was briefed about JH relationship with PH so she awares of that in orde to make her mission succeed, but since her mind is control, she can't remember anything about the past, so she just has the SeungHee's mind in JaeHee's body. 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. Chairman Oh reminisces about Soo-hyuns mother fondly, claiming that, despite everything, his feelings for her mother were genuine. - The whole "I don't want to admit I helped to find Chang Yi's mom until I find Seung Hee" explanation sounds dodgy. I was very confused on the shipping side of things. 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. 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. we didn't get that from JH/PH. (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). Three, how did that North Korea military captain whatever guy survive? Interestingly, I initially thought that it was Soo Hyun who will end up being the outlier as she is stuck with the normal girl status (strange how being normal makes you the stranger in this show). 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. window.fbAsyncInit = function() { Since on the day they were leaving for N. Korea, both father and son left home at the same time.

Searches were done to search his body pretty soon. Soo-hyun slurs that Hoon should just forget about Jae-hee, but Hoon just breaks outa silly smile as he slurs back, Im going to hold onto her until I die.. 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. It is much more interesting. And I know yours, Jae-Hee. Not so sure about that - for one thing, where did the video come from? Is jae hui pretend to be seung hui? In South Korea, Park Hoon begins to work as doctor . Connect with Facebook var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; What I do like about Seung Hee is that her storyline, whether she's always been a spy, has been brainwashed or she's not Jae Hee at all, by its nature it has to be independent from Hoons. Since you liked Dr romantic and Dr John have you tried d-day and hospital ship? I feel the same. 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.) As a child, Park Hoon (Lee Jong-suk) and his father Park Cheol (Kim Sang-joong) were tricked and sent to North Korea. I am ashamed myself to expose my ignorance here but I am dying to know! I was actually rooting for her and Hoon even though I kinda wanted Hoon to get his one true love back? A great majority of them only do one or two dramas a year, using the time between those dramas to recharge, reaccess their performance and evaluate how they can improve themselves. Omggg you read my mind! Hes back in Myungwoo to destroy the hospital, and the chairman with it, to get revenge. 8. Copyright TV Time. 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? And the thing is, I don't require details for everything. 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. I also liked that Hoon used to picture and practice his upcoming surgeries before-hand. I hope the writers keep that up and not destroy her character! For a moment even Soo-hyun looks lost, as she remembers the uncanny resemblance between the two but cant find a logical explanation as to what on earth is going on. Then, I decided to try Doctor Stranger and went in with low expectations because I hadnt heard much praise for this one. Outside of her, Hoon have virtually nobody left to care for. Right! 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. 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. If you dont believe me, shoot me..

But at some points, the plot I spoke of above, did seem unnecessary and foolish. The thing with Hoon-Jae Hee relationship is, we are told from day 1 that they're so in love with each other, while the portrayals of the actors indicate that Hoon does the loving part much more than Jae Hee. poor hoon just wants a simple life where he can be with his love, sheesh. Im doing thispoint-wiseso that you know exactly what I liked and how much I liked it. I just donotlike the way Seung-Hees character was written and directed. 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. As for the other half of our leads, things are definitely shaping up romantically as far as Soo Hyun is concerned. I don't really mind if Hoon ends up with either or neither. 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. She was very annoying and Lee Jong-Suks character still pined over her. I would love to see stiff competition between Hoon and Jae-joon in the operating table too. It's the writing/directing/show I'm talking about. I have mixed feelings about it because of those random pointless things. That was what I thought too! -_-, I watched the 2 episodes confused and trying to find clues about the ruined"mission" Sunghee and Agent Cha were talking about, it's ruined and I haven't even figured it out.

PH and JH/Seung Hee NEEDS to end up together because they've been through ALOT! By doing that, the writer tries to build the suspension but instead, it goes backfire. After being sent to North Korea, Park Hoon and his father were denied access to go back to South Korea. And to that end, Im equally worried that this entire circus of connivance would end up falling flat on its face, that it makes the entire reason for Jae Hee to join the fold of both Koreas villains and their conspiracy just factitious. 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.

I mean, we thought that the heroine is good,but end up bad all along. People kept doubting, wishing he'd change because she's in the past, etc But heck you don't tell a person who they have to love or who deserve their affection. However. Rate. 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.
