Song Jae Hee / Han Seung Hee | Doctor Stranger - MyDramaList Genre: drama, medical, romance, thriller. Nice to have some real expertise in that area. 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 case of spoilers! to me, there's a difference between the two i'm not sure if it's the same for you).

Im sure Hoon would have stayed there for a long time staring or would have tried to save her as well. The potential of this series was so good but the execution was so poor, I couldnt bear to be even more disappointed so I just stopped. 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. (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/. When the show first started, I was going to be ambitious and keep a list, but after ep3 I simply gave up. First Loves are supposed to be the purest, the most intense, the most passionate experiences, so much that people often give up partners they have been with for YEARS to go back to their first love (Angel Eyes), and suffer for decades because of a tragic first love (Moon Embracing the Sun, Missing You). Instead, it makes my head spins trying to wring out the suspense in every character (except Hoon, SooHyun and Dr Moon and that's why I enjoy them so much) The writer keeps trying to introduce character with huge mysterious plot line then plays the game that feeds me a tiny bit informati22on once a while.

[1] It aired on SBS from May 5 to July 8, 2014 on Mondays and Tuesdays at 21:55 KST (UTC+9) for 20 episodes. 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. 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. Wohoo! definitely need more of it. And 'were just thrown a lot of facts about them and were supposed to just take it that theyre madly in love with each other, without really feeling it'. it just breaks my heart and, sorry to all the Soo-hyun/Hoon OTPs out there, but stop trying to make Soo-hyun/Hoon coupling happen, it's not going to happen. All rights reserved. b). In not many words, she is a spy. I am trying really hard to stay on board with A New Leaf but its slowly losing its touch. - The whole "I don't want to admit I helped to find Chang Yi's mom until I find Seung Hee" explanation sounds dodgy. Urgh. Why, though? - 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? Why must it be him? I love how Jae-joon instantly tries to play it cool by smoothing out Hoons clothes, all, Sorry, I went overboard, while Hoon is just happy to leave the two of them to sort things out. i only feel sad for the puppy fiancee. 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. Poor Hoon. 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. To me, Jae Hee never really felt like the heroine in the drama. When Hoon tries to follow her, Soo-hyun has to physically hold him back. After watching three shows of his and loving all of them, I decided Im bingeing the shows in which hes a lead. Hoon was the one who did the transplant, so he should know how many kidneys (out of the two) he had to remove and how many he inserted. Surprisingly, the show has definitely done a great concession with their very favorable treatment to the secondary female lead. It is like the black hole of plot holes. Sometimes when leads don't have chemistry, it's fine because the storyline is engaging, but wow dr stranger had a frustrating storyline PLUS Park Hoon and Jae Hee had zero chem. But I do think it's probably about time for them to ease on the mystery a little. 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. I like both Hoon and Soo Hyun as characters and they are the easiest to root for in the show, by far. I mean, come on. I think it's a twin- like in the Master's Sun. But now that Hoon is back in the hospital and Chairman Oh is under Prime Minister Jangs thumb, Seung-hee claims that everything is going to plan. One, how did Hoon finally reach South Korea from Budapest? The reason she says she'll live as Jae-hee after the surgery is so that N. Korea can keep have an eye on Park Hoon and "threaten" him using fake Jae-hee whenever they need anything. Only a few times did I see hersmileand look sad but that also didnt look genuine, somehow. in the sense, yes, i acknowledge they're in a relationship; but no, i don't feel invested in their relationship. I work really hard while acting as Song Jae Hee to show a child that is endlessly bright and pure; while acting as Han Seung Hee, I have to emotionally satisfy many things in order to make it seem as if there are many stories stored inside of her eyes., Jin Se Yeon then promised Though there is a lot of burden playing two characters as I still lack in many areas, it would be nice if people watched over me as I exert myself. You deserve an extraordinary show to recap after putting up splendidly with all this crazy ones . And if they're just going to keep hiding everything under wraps, sorry but I don't have the patience like Hoon does, and I'll just lose interest with this conspiracy thing really soon (and I really don't want that to happen because there is so much potential for it to become something good). Its very difficult to grasp all of the different aspects between the characters, such as tone, choice of words, and expressions. But Seung-hees patience reaches its breaking point when Hoon tries to keep her with him at the expense of one of her patients, causing her to slap him back to realitynothing should be as important to a doctor as their patient, she barks, which is something he should understand if he claims to be a doctor. jimmy smith walk on the wild side; January 27, 2022 js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; Three Days did not follow a conventional romance structure but its second female lead is solidly on the side of 'good'. XD IHYV (2nd lead female turns good towards the end only). I dont know. At this point I have little interest in what happens to Jae Hee.

All I can say, she might be the bad one,the spy from the very first scene. But before she can even turn her head, she focuses instead on Director Choi as he enters, recognizing him as the man who got her out of the prison camp. It is no wonder this is the worst hospital in Korea where people can just kill and steal patients at will, since about half the staff seems to be a NK spy or working with the North. She tries to take the bracelet back, but only ends up ripping it into two halves. So I don't exactly know what your complaints are about, but sure, point taken. Jae Hees confession to Soo Hyun that she will be leaving soon confirmed my suspicion that theres a higher probability that the ending of this series wont veer away from the original ending in the book (Doctor Stranger is based in a best-seller book Northern Doctor). Have fun, ya lucky Beanies. Loving the show so far but the plot can get pretty confusing (or maybe its just the subs). also i cant figure out if jae joon is a good hearted person with problems or hes just a plain baddy with ill intentions. Unfortunately for him, shes got other plans. It's not Hoon's fault, it's the fault of the scriptwriter. 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. My Girl. Doctor Stranger (Tagalog) EP 3 Eng Sub - Maraming pasyente ang dadagsa sa Myungwoo University Hospital dahil sa isang aksidente. It's nice to see the "good" 2nd lead in a K drama being the female one too--often if there's a "bad" and a "good" (rather than both bad or both good), it's the man that's good. Basically this drama is like a fanfiction to me right now. She did not donate one. Song Jae-Hee, in the small amount of time we saw her, was shown as a vibrant girl and I liked her instantaneously.

The North Korean scenes were nice but by far not enough considering what happened afterwards. She adamantly refuses that shes Jae-Hee but Hoon doesn't accept that, believing that she is Jae-hee. Right after the scene where Hoon gets knocked out by the flying basin at Soo Hyun's mom's house Dr Moon showed up. The North Korean scenes were nice but by far not enough considering what happened afterwards.". What we get now is that PH is deeply in love with JH, and while that's not enough for me to want to care about their relationship, I'll just have to believe in it because that's what the show is centered about anyway. 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. Outside of her, Hoon have virtually nobody left to care for. I'll keep watching because I am a glutton for punishment and I have hope that it will make sense soon. After offering Soo-hyun her mothers old room, Seung-hee comments about how close Soo-hyun and Hoon seem to be, implying that their relationship is romantic. 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.)

Connect with Facebook 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. This woman says she does not know Park Hoon and acts quite cold towards him. I don't think this was explained in the first half I watched. I don't really see how the old age is helpful. SeungHee is JaeHee. And Soo-hyun is awesome. Many years later, Hoon makes it back home to Seoul and works with another doctor in their clinic. 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. "Dr. Stranger" has also attracted attention for the quality of its cast: Lee Jong Suk, Jin Se Yeon, Park Hae Jin, and Kang Sora play the leading roles while guest roles include Cheon Ho Jin . The head surgeon (currently the chairman) did not apologize at all. Naturally Dr Park will insist that the kidneys get scanned too. I was confused as to why he was chosen and why they needed him. Though these questions surrounding Seung Hees identity is at the forefront of the shows current plot point, what continues to intrigue me more is the equally confusing Big Mission that must involve Hoon. If he pursues one side, the other isnt possible. In the book, Park Hoon will end up with Soo Hyun. I just wish that theyll incorporate a time jump, and later on well see Hoon and Soo Hyun happy together as a couple and are successful in their career as thoracic surgeons. S1, Ep7.
