That was our plan from the start. For once, I would really like to see a realistic kdrama where people actually move on from their first loves and form realistic relationships with people they have just met who they find they are compatible with. 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. i mean i get the amount of politics is very heavy in this drama which i also understand since it can be annoying. But I do think it's probably about time for them to ease on the mystery a little. 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. (The only two major aspects that redeemed this drama are the main actors and actresses performance and its cinematography. Its clear as blue sky now that Jae Hee has no intention in staying with Hoon after her mission. She said that she will be going back to Japan. Her coldness to Hoon in this episode mirrors her reactions in that flash back scene in episode 5 (Hoon chasing her inside the hospital while she intentionally avoided him). Her facial expressions in that scene showed contempt and disgust towards Park Hoon. Director Choi tells the two that Chairman Oh has forgiven Hoon, but Hoon is less than enthused until Choi brings up his fatherand that if Hoon wants to be as good a surgeon as his father was, he still has much to learn.

LJS did 2 dramas and 3 movies last year, half of them overlapped, and the quality of his acting did not suffer. I have not watched Doctor Romantic actually, and haven't tried D-Day nor Hospital Ship. 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. If Hoon is happy I'll be happy and if SH is happy and doesn't change ( by the stupid 2nd lead curse) I'll totally be enjoying this Kdrama !!! Another gripe: C'mon. Each person has a different heartbeat. I can just see So Hyeon and PH to be great buddies and THAT'S IT even though So Hyeon may be infatuated with PH. b). Doctor Stranger is 2014 K-drama series starring Lee Jong-suk, one of the most popular K-drama actors right now. i believe they're in a relationship, i just don't believe in their relationship. And considering the pace of the kdrama live shoot system, it's no wonder she's flat and emotionless when the role calls for more than the basics and requires a little extra in terms of nuances. So yeah, probably right time to bring on a huge revelation. I liked him well enough but I HATED the other main character. 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. i think part of it is because Hoon was very much loyal to Jae-hee (while Jae-hee is still a question mark). She throws things at him in response, and manages to knock him out cold with a flimsy plastic bowl. 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. I dropped it as soon as I reached the part where Park Hoon meets his old flame at the hospital like.. why? When the realization hits, his eyes open wide. Indeed, one of the many reasons to how Hoon became the person that he is now, is largely because of Jae Hee too. Not so sure about that - for one thing, where did the video come from? And why in the preview did the how many kidneys thing come up yet again? Usually dramas reserve the opposites attract, random fall-over skinship, and the walk-in-to-the-bathroom tropes for the lead couple. Omggg you read my mind! I don't really see how the old age is helpful. Well i got curious about it and Google information related to it and surprisingly, the heartbeat is actually unique! On the other hand, this shows forte is not in dropping helpful hints, which means we got to be just as bewildered as Hoon was, too. Plot holes are when something did not make sense (not the same as the audience not understanding) or did not gel up with an earlier scene. it's okay, I am not invested in her character at all either. a). what about her scene as Jae hee in Budabet at that bridge where she & park hoon were surrounded by men with guns wanted to kill them ? . For JH/PH, we were just told that they're in a relationship and that hoon is madly in love with JH. 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. This show is strange. Just as a rebuttal (never mind that I'm a Hoon/Jae Hee supporter as well). Ditto. In case of spoilers! Park Hoon became a genius thoracic surgeon. 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. Park Hoon is emotionally tormented as a doctor who looks excatly like his lost love Song Jae Hee continues to insist that she is not.

Agent Cha loads his gun and, unable to control himself, mutters Long live the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea before he shoots Hoon twice. 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. ), I think she mutter his name when asleep/delirious but not consciously. By doing that, the writer tries to build the suspension but instead, it goes backfire. Agreed.
