But yes, whatever, I'm here to stay. Not even a little bit. Unless dad told Hoon at some point he was targeted to go NKorea based on Dr Choi's recommendation? Partly because it involved so much going back to previous episodes to see what matched up (a lot did not). There were multiple (four, if I remember right) such competitions held over several episodes. Agent Cha hands Nightshade records of Chang-yis mom going in and out of a coma as proof of Seung-hees skills.. There are a lot of fun dramatic possibilities if Hoon starts operating on the basis that Seung-hee and Jae-hee are the same person, since he could start putting his brilliant mind to work in figuring out what happened to her and whyespecially if he has to do his investigating while pretending to buy her disguise. He explains that his only way of apologizing for what he did to Hoon was to make him a doctor at the hospital, and that he plans to help him find Jae-hee. I hope the writers keep that up and not destroy her character! According to you, who was the most awesome character in this episode? Other than the romance, the drama is about political corruption, revenge, secret assassinations and medical drama. 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. Also, I have seen the main actress in this and Born Again and I have since refused to watch any of her shows. I think we get an answer to that in the next episode because in the preview for episode 7, it looks like Seung-hee has to undergo further medical examination for whatever reason!

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. Sometimes, an inspiration is better left to be admired from a distance rather than to be possessed for yourself, doing so, only make it lose its meaning and significance. But at some points, the plot I spoke of above, did seem unnecessary and foolish. Heartbeats are not like fingerprints. I was actually rooting for her and Hoon even though I kinda wanted Hoon to get his one true love back? Of course don't get me wrong, shipping is totally fine, and I ship many drama couples too. Agreed. so, it only makes sense if she feels that dutiful to NK if she doesn't remember anything about Hoon to do what she is doing right now. I understand people shipping Hoon/Soo Hyun she's easy to like and the actors have some nice chemistry (I don't see it as romantic chemistry myself Hoon's way too wrapped up in JH to even notice other women) but as this was Seung Hee's introduction week I'm not quite ready to abandon the Show's OTP. Its obviously not bad acting because the same actress played Jae-Hee, whom I liked in one minute. It's not really her fault so much as the roles she gets. Two people cannot have the same heartbeat. He didnt, which brings us to another flashback of Agent Cha undergoing brutal torture in the DPRK as a result of Hoons escape. }); Observations this week: Lee Jong-seok needs to get himself back into white coats stat because that coordi is awful.

HOWEVER the rest of the show was awful. ok, but there's still this: how did Hoon even get from Budapest to South Korea, then, after the dropping-Jae-hee-off-the-bridge thing? - The whole "I don't want to admit I helped to find Chang Yi's mom until I find Seung Hee" explanation sounds dodgy. Unfortunately for him, shes got other plans. I still do hope to see Jae Joon make a turn around and be the proper lover to win back Soo Hyuns heart which will inevitably only be broken by pining too much to our Dr Stranger. Soo-hyun agrees, but then makes the misstep of trying to toast to Jae-hee, whos in heaven.. Why must it be him? And I love this OST it gives me so much feels.

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.

Oof what foolish plot holes. There is a solemnity in that scene. 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. Jae-joon was unaware that Chairman Oh changed his mind, and seems to switch gears from Jealous Boyfriend to Perfect Boyfriend as he asks Soo-hyun out for dinner. PHJ's role is rather bland and he hasn't been exactly lighting up the screen like he did in Stars, but he not getting criticized much here in the comments. i think part of it is because Hoon was very much loyal to Jae-hee (while Jae-hee is still a question mark). However, as he later reveals to Chang-yi, hes still not sure about who Seung-hee is.

Give Seung Hee more dimensions and have her display more emotions OTHER than trying to be Cold and Reserved. Completely agree with you. 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.

Thank goodness I had the foresight to make notes so this review might actually have some details. 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. 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. If he pursues one side, the other isnt possible. 3.

After a successful surgery, Jae-joon updates Hoon and Chang-yi on her mothers status only to be met with skepticism from Hoon, since he didnt think her condition was serious enough to warrant a sudden heart surgery. 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. How much emotion can she really bring to the table? But I just couldnotlike her how much ever I tried. And as for that, why did he have to hug her when he could have just used a stethoscope? The story seemed very incomplete. Only to see that Seung-hee does have two kidneys. Rate. Hes not happy with the decision, and grudgingly claims he did it for the mission.

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. He seems to also be orchestrating Hoon into the hospital for some other purpose. Shes vulnerable and under-confident but tries to do well and handle herself in situations. Entire scenes were spent kind-of-maybe-not-really trying to paint a picture of the Big Conspiracy going on, and if the point was merely to show us that there is a conspiracy without revealing anything about said conspiracy, then mission accomplished: were still confused.

I love that she's a competent professional even if Hoon calls her a quack, and a concerned friend to him. On the one hand, Im glad the show is presenting its mystery through Hoons point of view, since we literally only know as much as he does at any given moment.

There is a huge range of audience maturity which could also be influenced by age, culture and exposure just to list some factors. A lot of her facial expressions are inscrutable; I don't think it's because of the actress or anything, but she's probably given the same amount of information we are so she's not really able to express a hell of a lot, just in case the writer goes a different way~! 6. I cant even blame those people who sputter profanities and rude comments against this series, because same as me, they are also just hugely disappointed.
