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. 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. 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. The two characters Jin Se Yeon plays have direct opposite atmospheres about them in the revealed pictures. Do not like her either, not sure why. 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). We reached episode 7 now, it is about time for the main actress to show some acting. what's the point of all the sacrifices they've made if PH just ends with another girl. 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. boahh this draama is so confusing really awkward. I did not see joy when she was supposedly happy and didnt see her upset when she was supposedly sad. That is not counting various CFs, photo shoots, fanmeetings and God knows what else. I found one recurring thing unbelievable. But apparently PH looked really disappointed when he found out that she had 2 kidneys - but shouldn't he know that she would have 2 since she was the one who did the transplant? On the plus side, I'm now more encouraged to finish watching Man to Man with Park Hae Jin (even though I probably shouldn't as the FL has no chemistry with him). Im Han Seung-hee, she affirmed, to which Agent Cha replied, Yes, Han Seung-hee! 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. It's a good thing there were Dr. Quack & Hoon cute scenes to give my little brain a break, and just when I started feeling torn between Jaejoon and Hoon (for Sohyun), he showed his greedy side and that stopped me from liking him too for Sohyun. Jae-joons calls to Soo-hyun go unanswered, as we find her and Hoon thoroughly trashed from one (or five) too many bottles of soju. Either ways, I don't think it worked. Loving the show so far but the plot can get pretty confusing (or maybe its just the subs). Of course, Id be eating my own words to just dismiss this one as mere contrived conflict when the shows initial premise hinged upon the fact that stopping a nuclear annihilation rests upon a successful surgery. Hi, at 5.34minutes in this episode, Dr.Han Seung Hee is wearing a wristband. Right! Ive made it to halfway through ep 16 and I just cant make myself watch any more. Its sad because he thinks that shes only acting this way because he didnt look for her, and he does everything but get on his knees to apologize. But when theyre (mostly) alone, she tells Hoon that despite the similarities, Seung-hee isnt Jae-hee, because she saw Jae-hee die with her own eyes. Unfortunately for him, shes got other plans. She then told Hyun that Hoon really loves her and he just hasnt realized it yet. She asked Soo Hyun to wait for him because later on Hoon would eventually realize his feelings. Okay, I'm way out of topic here. Soo-hyun is just so much more likeable than Seung-hee/Jae-hee. 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. I don't need specific details, but I thought it'd be good if they could have included one or two more scenes of them together. 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. Those scenes in NK, they've been replaying so many times over it is though those were the /only/ memories they had together. 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. it's okay, I am not invested in her character at all either. I will pay back my fans through working as hard as I can.. One heartbeat A love that even Fate cannot separate! I hope thats metaphorical, because if he can recognize her by her heartbeat, I might have to laugh out loud. jimmy smith walk on the wild side; January 27, 2022 Lifetime Movie Present: The Secret Lives of College Freshmen (Tagalog Dub) Uncut TV5 Dubbing. When Agent Cha asks why she didnt just kill Chang-yis mom, Seung-hee says its because her death wasnt what Prime Minister Jang wanted. 2014-05-12 .

Thats his aim. Seung-hee balls her fist as Hoon listens to the steady sound of their hearts beating in perfect unison. 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. Afterall, not everyone enjoys or understands the mystery and plot. Probably the most entertaining one of the bunch airing right now but I can't say I love it. I recommended this show to a close friend of mine who didn't watch kdramas back then and she said it was way too dramatic and dropped it after the first episode. She wanted to live as her real person after the plot is d. Thanks for the recap, I was watching this drama and had high hopes for it, but I can't watch it anymore. This is the one drama I tell people NOT to watch if they're just starting out. 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. Tags: Doctor Stranger, featured, Jin Se-yeon, Lee Jong-seok, Your email address will not be published. Ngl I watched this drama for LJS. But the plot is so frustrating I'm irritated.

Whos that? Seung-hee replies, causing Hoon to pull out the red bracelet he took from Patient Kim. I didn't realize a drama is supposed to convince you of a relationship or anything else. Rate.

He's a skilled surgeon who graduated as a top medical student from Harvard. When the realization hits, his eyes open wide. FB.init({ Regardless of Jae-joons defense, Soo-hyun asks him to take it easy on Hoonafter all, they work together now. well, no i dont need that. Their NK scenes were cute, but i felt it wasn't enough. the Angel Eyes pairing were endearing in the young years, but when they were adults, the Goo Hye-sun character had partially moved on with her fiancee and all so I didn't feel as emotionally invested on that pairing. In my eyes, she is, Hoon replies. Other than the romance, the drama is about political corruption, revenge, secret assassinations and medical drama. I'd pretty much want him to be left alone, to move on from his first love. According to you, who was the most awesome character in this episode? [3] Due to the drama's success in China there are currently plans to edit the drama into a film and release it theatrically exclusively in China with an alternate ending. On the run, Jae Hee tries to save Hoon's life and falls into a river. But yes, whatever, I'm here to stay. we didn't get that from JH/PH. 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. 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.

And I love this OST it gives me so much feels. At this point, I cant help but blame the actress. how many people are there who are trying to achieve something. 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.. Seriously. I watched Doctor Stranger only because of Lee Jong-Suk. My recommendation to her is to take a break and go on a long and nice holiday. 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. Usually dramas reserve the opposites attract, random fall-over skinship, and the walk-in-to-the-bathroom tropes for the lead couple. I hope the writers keep that up and not destroy her character! The mystery and thrilling underlying plotlines related to politics and disagreement between South Korea and North Korea were pretty good to watch. 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. shes so cute with her dimples and cheeks and more endearing. JSY is too young, barely gets out of teenage, to have the experience needed for the complex character. i dont know what to say i dont really like it how it progresses. Judging by the ep 7 preview, things do seem to bode for the better. LOL, yes, Kang So-ra is playing her very well, i admit. 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. Thats how he lost his finger, which explains why hes got a (missing) bone to pick with Hoon. 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 was confused as to why he was chosen and why they needed him. 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. 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. She was also really entertaining to watch while simultaneously being someone I related to. Lol but like u said that's 99.99% out of the question lol!!! After watching three shows of his and loving all of them, I decided Im bingeing the shows in which hes a lead.
