I think one big problem with the Hoon-Jae-Hee/ Seung-hee relationship is that we have not really see them interact. Right now, I don't want PH to end up with Soohyun, but neither do I want him to end up with Jaehee. that scene when park hoon is beggin her her to remember him and how he is sorry that that he couldn't find her sooner how he goes on to explain that he did so much to look for her that scene is so heart breaking imagine you wait for some one you love so much and when you finally see them that person refuses to have ever known you let alone love you,,how much it would hurt and angry one would be. My take is Seung Hee is not Jae Hee. 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. Most of time the 1st girl doesn't like him back but then gets jealous when he notices the heroine and she turns into a b*tch. but nope, it doesn't mean I want a PH/Soohyun end game. idk how do you guys feel about that pairing.

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. He leaves after telling Hoon that theres something he has to give him before he leaves for the DPRK, which leaves just enough time for something bad to happen to him first. I would love to see stiff competition between Hoon and Jae-joon in the operating table too. 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. well, no i dont need that. But them becoming a couple is just too convenient for me. ). 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. Practicing? Ha. we didn't get that from JH/PH. Co-screenwriter Park Jin-woo previously wrote Conspiracy in the Court (2007) and The Kingdom of the Winds (2008). She founded Empress Content Writing & Digital Marketing Services to help small entrepreneurs grow their business. Hoon slams his glass down. Afterall, not everyone enjoys or understands the mystery and plot. Thus while I can see this drama worming itself happily in all sort of plot holes, but I don't think it will give us what we want in term of Hoon and Soo-Hyun kisses. Ive made it to halfway through ep 16 and I just cant make myself watch any more. Not just Soo-hyun's but also pretty Doctor Moon. Do not like her either, not sure why. Profile. Seung-hee balls her fist as Hoon listens to the steady sound of their hearts beating in perfect unison. I want to argue that Kdramas have a problem moving on to second loves.

Regardless of Jae-joons defense, Soo-hyun asks him to take it easy on Hoonafter all, they work together now. I mean, we thought that the heroine is good,but end up bad all along. 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. Shes alive, damn it! He stumbles to his feet, and Soo-hyun has to grab him before he falls. Learn how your comment data is processed.

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.

The oldest cliche in kdrama is how the hero was in love with one girl first then meets the heroine. 8. All the way throughout the drama, I thought Kang Sora was the female lead, until it dawned on me in the last episode that it was Jin Seyeon. He also got shot and fell into the lake.

That Hoon killed her father to save her and shes not sure anymore if she can still continue loving him despite all the things that happened between them. Other than the romance, the drama is about political corruption, revenge, secret assassinations and medical drama. To build upon to what I said in the previous thread, the problems are twofold: 1) as you pointed out Seung Hee is not an easy character to play (especially as a Protagonist), it's so easy to fall into a mediocre one-dimensional monotony with it, because clearly there are less lines and less freedom for the actor to flesh out this character with, unlike say, Hoon or Soo Hyun, who are very dynamic and demands an array of emotions. ), she hold her fist like she can't let her feeling own/rule her, and she did the same thing in this very current episode, ep 6. window.fbAsyncInit = function() { After giving Hoon his doctors coat, Choi tells him that hell be going back to the North after taking care of business here, but refuses to allow Hoon to risk going with him. Why go through all this shadow puppetry with a political storyline that has absolutely zero likable characters in it? And in that way shell get him back to Myungwoo Hospital, because if she goes, hell want to follow. I dont know.

One side would have had to reach out or Jae-Joon would have saved them and I dont see how? 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. 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). Though I enjoyed the medical suspense part, the utterly obvious plot holes, illogical character development, and ridiculous storyline are just too much. I really want to like this because I started watching for LJS, and the chemistry b/n him and KSR is pretty intriguing. Your email address will not be published.

On the other hand, in the other pictures as Han Seung Hee, Jin Se Yeon pulls off a perfect transformation by having the chic look down while wearing a doctors gown. Park Hae-jin as Han Jae-joon / Lee Sung-hoon Kim Ji-hoon as young Lee Sung-hoon 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. Luckily Nightshade knows whats up, and has a plan to take care of business. Seriously. The conspiracy thickens. It's not the subs - the show *really* is crazy.

THE ACCIDENTAL DETECTIVE TAGALOG DUBBED. The writers went through the effort of keeping Jin Soo alive for the final showdown with Hoon & Jae Hee only for it to essentially mean nothing. I don't think so since characters coming back from the death is not as sacred as "a woman can only kiss one guy in her entire drama life" dogma of Kdrama plus we have to deal with "First Love" too which is like the TROPE to trump all other tropes. }); 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. 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.

He is a highly-ranked North Korean government official sent to kill Park Hoon alongside Han Seung-hee (Jae-hee) The character was portrayed by Park Hae-Joon. Some plot lines just really didn't add up and I find myself confused by the end of each episode. I didn't read the plot or anything, just dived right into it. These days, people are so quick to jump the bandwagon of "first love trope is so overused, why can't he end up with the second lead? I need more to feel more, but I doubt we'll get that since the show has obviously moved on from establishing that. as in so, she is really jae hee and she knows it? Required fields are marked *.

She probably woke up with amnesia, got brainwashed into the CAUSE (whatever that is), and her evil henchmen probably just told her there was a girl who looked like her that she should use as a study guide so she can manipulate this doctor with the perm for the CAUSE. In fact, theres more of all that than romance. Hopefully I didn't jinx you. This video is currently unavailable. 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". (and well, i still think this feels like a one-sided love.

One of them even remarks on how asinine it is for the president to trouble the man (Prime Minister Jang) who put him in office with the inquiry about his campaign funds, in a clear show of support for Jang. Full House. 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.

In episode 17, I had finally deciphered Jae Hees ultimate intention. All along Ive been doubting her motives for coming to South Korea.
