I've seen her do well in vibrant roles before, but being cold and monotonous only serves to compound on her weakness. Not at all. It's not Hoon's fault, it's the fault of the scriptwriter. Also, I have seen the main actress in this and Born Again and I have since refused to watch any of her shows. 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. Hoon is arrested. Daughter of the Director and The Best Heart Surgeon. I will pay back my fans through working as hard as I can.. But I just couldnotlike her how much ever I tried. 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. He asks her if she recognizes it, since its the same one he made for her when they first metbut his questions are answered with outrage, as Seung-hee accuses him of stealing what she gave to the patient. book recommendations, blogging tips, & asian dramas. To further affirm that notion, give notice how SH falls under the good girl archetype and Jae Joon ends up being the villainous and equally covetous boyfriend when normally its the other way around. Thank you, windsun33. to be fair to YFAS, Master's Sun and I Hear Your Voice, especially the latter, the characters are written way more complex than just 'bad' or 'good'. She should have 3 kidneys if she received a transplant Diseased kidneys are usually left in place, and the new transplant usually stuck in the lower abdomen. To that end, I do believe that JSY lacks the gravitas to play out serious characters such as Seung Hee, she's just not at home to that entire demeanor of villainy. Its a shame because the other 3 leads performances are quite splendid. I was SO wrong. Hoon doesnt, and forgoes the law to take a look. But the plot holes that Ididpick up annoyed me so much because any explanation was NOT given. 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. Hi, at 5.34minutes in this episode, Dr.Han Seung Hee is wearing a wristband. Especially since Seung-hee overhears the entire exchange. This was one of the first kdramas I ever watched and completed. what's the point of all the sacrifices they've made if PH just ends with another girl. 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. 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. YFAS. And with that regard, I cannot help but rack my brain of any but one good reason why a North Korean doctor must be involved in anything politically related at all. jae hee had to bad kidney so she got a new one so that means she isnt it right? And that hed wanted to instill hope in Hoon by smuggling Chang-yis mom outhope that, one day, hed reunite with Jae-hee. Other than the romance, the drama is about political corruption, revenge, secret assassinations and medical drama. Just look if there's a scar. She has no family so I don't see what possible hold that North Korea could have on her. When he is finally able to return to South Korea, he begins working at a hospital. Its a good thing when you don't really care that much about the show with all your heart, that it doesn't matter much in which direction it goes, as long as its entertaining ! Hoon, just by touching the patients chest, was able to picture the heart and immediately determine whats wrong. I think it's both way though. A Good Supper (MBC, 2021); Blessing of the Sea (MBC, 2019); Voice 2 (OCN, 2018) cameo; You Are Too Much (MBC, 2017) 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. That being said, if Director Choi turns out to be yet another bad guy in the next episode, just pretend like I never said anything. Press J to jump to the feed. And I can't see how Seung Hee is not Jae Hee. 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 :)). Is it just me, or is the plot of this drama basically a giant plot hole? With supernatural power, no less. Has anyone watched Coffee House? Her task probably to keep Park Hoon check on her watch.Remember when Park Hoon hug her in that hall(? So yeah, probably right time to bring on a huge revelation. Of all the people, why him? Jae-joon claims he was just protecting Soo-hyuns doctorly honor against Hoons quack allegations, an excuse which has Soo-hyun raising her eyebrows: Thats not like you.. I have mixed feelings about it because of those random pointless things. Meanwhile, a stone-faced Seung-hee tells Agent Cha that the whole act was devised so that Hoon would believe that Jae-hee is alive. Thinking back she was right and I'm glad she didn't watch any more of the drama lolol. 4 . After Prime Minister Jang has a good laugh at the presidents penchant for punctuality (this guy needs to get out more), he asks Nightshade about Seung-heehe wants to see her skills firsthand. forgive my denseness but some what confused, Ill remain Han Seung-hee until the prime ministers surgery team is created. or I don't think the writers are lost. if (d.getElementById(id)) return; All the things around Jae-hee are just impossibility.

But Nightshade wants to see her other skills. Please Director-nim scold him Has anyone thought that maybe Jin Se Yeon's problem is burn out(extreme fatigue)? ). Seriously I thought this heart beat thing is something I did not learn from my boring biology class!! With both SH and Hoon asking what Dr Moon is doing there. the virtual jae hee that dr park sketched on us and how much we love them together because of it,,,,, has made me really excited about actually seeing them on the screen,, would it be as wonderful as dr park had made us picture it to be or i don't want to jinx it so i don't even utter the otherwise .i want to love them together on the screen please please ooze so much romance that our hearts keep pounding until the follow up episode And how? Btw although d-day sounds like it has to much going om a lot of med students have praised it for att least the medical part is realistic. i loved this episode every bit of it . the pace has slowed down way too much thats probably because i am more a movie person rather than series. i am not one of those who can take the anticipation thats probably the reason why i loved the first two episode where things happened quick and there were unexpected twist at every turn which only made it even more interesting for me and got me hooked on to the show permanently. from ep 5 on the show has ceratinly slowed down may be it is finally time to fit the zigsaw bit by bit. and while doing so the drama now has caught on to the romantic side of it by bring in jae hee completely into the picture which i am loving so so much.. i was afraid that we would barely get to see her but am grateful that it is doesn't happen to be so instead acc to the preview we will get to see more of hoon and jae hee which is super awesome dont' let me down show. - How is it that he's able to flit b/n N Korea and S Korea so easily? I like both Hoon and Soo Hyun as characters and they are the easiest to root for in the show, by far. Definitely would've drawn a tear or two from me. Those scenes in NK, they've been replaying so many times over it is though those were the /only/ memories they had together. Outside of her, Hoon have virtually nobody left to care for. She put it on Soo Hyun's mother's wrist and was upset when Hoon found it. So many has mentioned that Seung Hee is practicing/copying JH in the laptop scene. K-dramas: anything can happen. as in so, she is really jae hee and she knows it? 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? He's not the only one with crazy schedule either. The plot holes were annoying as heck. But that is exactly the problem. Whoops. 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. After that, Ill live as Song Jae-hee. Do not like her either, not sure why. 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 think a better ending would be if Park Hoon just didn't get with anyone ya know. Although, I have no idea what's north korea group plan for Hoon Gotta agree with everyone that KSR and LJS acting is tremendously top notch in every episode. The two of them have some sort of arrangement going on, and it involves getting Hoon to remain employed at Myungwoo Hospital. Of course, Soo-hyun called her over so that he could apologize to her, only now hes too drunk to do much of anything. He's desperate to save the woman he left behind in North Korea. I'm stocking up Internet liquor just in case for you, Heads=P. Only show I can recall with a bad 2nd male and good 2nd female is King of Baking, Kim Takgu. She seems disappointed in herself after hanging up, but doesnt return to her seat by the time Hoon comes to. 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. Well damn, koala just made a clarion call over at koalasplayground (more than once actually) to leave all the worthwhile discussions within the drama recap thread rather than inundating it with actress bashing. I'd pretty much want him to be left alone, to move on from his first love. This drama was a mess. So, did anyone else feel like the feel-good ending was a little bit forced? The man grows up to become a genius surgeon. xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page in the sense, yes, i acknowledge they're in a relationship; but no, i don't feel invested in their relationship.

Because of that, Agent Cha asks Prime Minister Jang to use a little muscle to get Chairman Oh to accept Hoon back, otherwise their plan is over. Thats when Director Choi cuts in to say that it isnt trueJae-hee is alive, and he knows so from a reliable source. For JH/PH, we were just told that they're in a relationship and that hoon is madly in love with JH.

I didn't read the plot or anything, just dived right into it. Jae-joon pulls Hoon aside in order to tell him to get lost, making it a point to threaten him away from Soo-hyun. 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. i mean i get the amount of politics is very heavy in this drama which i also understand since it can be annoying. So by a single scene one can have so many differing interpretations already. var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; Its cute how Soo-hyun tries to cheer him up by asking him about his life, only Hoons memories of his parents are unhappy oneslike his father getting shot, and his mother never caring. and because Hoon appears so loyal to me that it's hard to imagine him to fall for someone else. Although they did get back together Miss Korea was pretty realistic about how the main couple weren't and couldn't be the same people they'd been in high school. With Seung-hee standing right there, Hoon asks Chang-yis mom if she could still recognize Jae-hee if she saw her. For me it has always been more of the "Don't forget you're a doctor" part that I want more of, instead of "I NEED MY ONE TRUE LOVE". That would be the most welcome surprise. He took Park Hoon along because Hoons mother refused to care for him. I like Kang Sora so much more than Jin Seyeon, and Soo Hyun has been so well written and performed so far.

Soo-hyun calls him Father for the first time in a long time, and tells him that shes sorry while thanking him for loving her mom. Hoon has some impossible abilities( X ray eyes and hands and super hearing ability like dogs), just like Soo-ha's from IHYV. Soo-hyun is just so much more likeable than Seung-hee/Jae-hee. 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. It makes me see the plotholes getting bigger, see many ridiculous explanations and see many forced logics. 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. Speaking of, Hoon wakes up to find framed pictures of Seung-hee hanging on the walls, and immediately thinks of Jae-hee.

I want to watch how PH is going to survive the conspiracy - whatever the conspiracy is. . 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. Master's Sun. I wonder if the PD likes to twist things around justfor the sake of it. Hoon and Chang-yi ask Director Choi for some clarification, and we see in flashback how he was the contact in North Korea that made the deal to get Chang-yis mom out. While not a focus point, it influences Hoons life and its addition made the show more interesting. As for the other half of our leads, things are definitely shaping up romantically as far as Soo Hyun is concerned. She founded Empress Content Writing & Digital Marketing Services to help small entrepreneurs grow their business. Years later, Hoon, a budding genius surgeon, and his girlfriend Song Jae-h=Hee try to escape to South Korea. (If a romantic moment happens and a second lead isnt there to see it, does it make a sound?) FB.init({ Naturally Dr Park will insist that the kidneys get scanned too. You saved yourself 10 hours. we dont know what exacatly and why. I am shockingly one of those thousands of delusional fans who are shipping Park Hoon and Oh Soo Hyun to end up together. So weird because in my over a decade of watching Kdramas I never shipped a 2nd female lead but DS breaks this record. This is a history in the making!

Shippy or not, I hope they remain friends. Rate. It just seems so over the top and borderline ridiculous at times. I hope shell take more acting lessons after this series. They'd even dated [i]gasp[/i] other people. Fortunately however, the more that Hoon tries to prod and affront her, chances are we're going to see more of her Jae Hee side and the emotions underneath.

She thinks hes there to apologize and tells him he doesnt need to, since she heard the story from Soo-hyun and understands what hes going through. Rate. Soohyun is about my favourite character in this series. Then he looks over Jae-joons shoulder: What do you think, Quack?. Why is Jae-hee in heaven? to me, there's a difference between the two i'm not sure if it's the same for you). But yeah, the fact that I can name only three probably means our Soo-hyun is to be consigned to the same fate as Chilbongie. This drama has so many plot holes but it still can enjoyable if it jusr flows the way it is for the entertaining purpose only. Soo-hyun accompanies Hoon for a drink, and tries to get him to see that Seung-hee isnt the person he thinks she is by showing him her online profile. Seung-hee ends up offering her home for Hoon to crash in, but while leading him to the bed, Soo-hyun trips and ends up wrapped in his arms.

No one gets a kidney transplant if they've got one good kidney left. Just as a rebuttal (never mind that I'm a Hoon/Jae Hee supporter as well).

Actually, I just discovered that you can really hate a drama and still continue to watch it because you are quite interested on how all the craziness will end. I found her weird. shes so cute with her dimples and cheeks and more endearing. Two people cannot have the same heartbeat. I don't want him to be one-dimensional. I really liked watching his character development and all the obstacles he had to go through in terms of his heart. 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. Since I did not really notice the songs in this show and dont care to listen to them specifically, I dont have a section for my favourite songs.

I already wish this show will defy convention and make Soo Hyun the lead lady. JSY doesn't come out as menacing at all, she seems lethargic. since this drama contains so many plot holes and impossible-things- could- happen in this drama, maybe,,, despite of a kiss with another man, Soo-hyun could end up with Hoon and Hoon and Soo-hyun can show more swoon worthy kisses. Soo-hyun agrees, but then makes the misstep of trying to toast to Jae-hee, whos in heaven.. 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~!

It's acceptable if she's only playing a straight-up villain part, but she's not, the viewers need to be able to sympathize with her and we're unable to do so. Its very difficult to grasp all of the different aspects between the characters, such as tone, choice of words, and expressions. I hope we get more interaction between the two of them and I'm actually interested how Seung-hee is trying to keep her mask up in front of Park Hoon (and everyone else). Doctor Stranger - Episode 3. 3. 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.
