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!

While a lot of us can spot the obvious stuff, that is something I doubt any of us knew. Coming with a completely different storyline,Han Jae-Joon held his own on screen against Hoon and Soo-hyun. - Albert. - Didn't Choi advise Dr Moon (just after the committee had an uproar after finding out Hoon's from N Korea) that Hoon is valuable to the nasty Prime Minister? although I strongly doubt she will become" Talented" in 1 week, you either have it or don't .

People kept doubting, wishing he'd change because she's in the past, etc But heck you don't tell a person who they have to love or who deserve their affection. 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. I guess we have a few more weeks of flat line deliveries to find this out.

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. Shes alive, damn it! He stumbles to his feet, and Soo-hyun has to grab him before he falls. The ending will also make you tear out your hair. Just look if there's a scar. Well, it turns out that when he was a teenager, his father passed away during surgery due to medical malpractice. Conversely, it seems PHJ had to do a reverse of his previously charming and easily root-able performance. Judging by the ep 7 preview, things do seem to bode for the better. 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. Prime Minister Jang runs into some issues in creating a committee without strict presidential oversight, with a fair number of assemblymen on his side. Using Myung Woo University Hospital as the background, the drama portrays a story of love and competition with the characters standing in the center of a North Korean conspiracy to select the team members of the surgery team that will operate on the South Korean Prime Minister Jang Seok Joo (Cheon Ho Jin.).

Instead he sees (imagines?) I liked him well enough but I HATED the other main character. People get along just fine with one kidney and the medical dangers of a transplant are enormous. -_-, I watched the 2 episodes confused and trying to find clues about the ruined"mission" Sunghee and Agent Cha were talking about, it's ruined and I haven't even figured it out.

Unless dad told Hoon at some point he was targeted to go NKorea based on Dr Choi's recommendation? I really liked watching his character development and all the obstacles he had to go through in terms of his heart. Empress is a tech enthusiast who loves to read and write. There's just soooo much dramaland logic I can't imagine watching something like that with my current brain. I really enjoyed the drama because of the unique premise and think that LJS and JSY had great chemistry. I didn't read the plot or anything, just dived right into it. After offering Soo-hyun her mothers old room, Seung-hee comments about how close Soo-hyun and Hoon seem to be, implying that their relationship is romantic. My theory is opposite-so far: Hoon finds out she is Jae Jee when he listens to her heart (second kidney and all)-but with the revelation-realizes there's a reason she's pretending, especially since this all involves North Korea, so he decides to keep quiet and pretend she's not Jae Jee in order to protect her until he can find out what it's all about.

And for a spy who should imitate after someone, wouldn't she have already seen that video and practiced all she needs even before coming over to SK? Lol but like u said that's 99.99% out of the question lol!!! I watched Doctor Stranger only because of Lee Jong-Suk. Thank you for your patience. Hopefully I didn't jinx you.

Agent Cha loads his gun and, unable to control himself, mutters Long live the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea before he shoots Hoon twice. In episode 17, I had finally deciphered Jae Hees ultimate intention. All along Ive been doubting her motives for coming to South Korea. Her role as a North Korean spy (who is in cahoots with the Prime Minister to put the President in coma) has a very clear mission to fulfill, and rekindling her romantic interest to Park Hoon is just part of the show to finish it. Poor Hoon. The Han Seung-hee that I created!, Seung-hee didnt argue that point, and instead reminded Agent Cha of their mission: Ill remain Han Seung-hee until the prime ministers surgery team is created.

It's the writing/directing/show I'm talking about. This show is strange. (S01E03) is the third episode of season one of "Doctor Stranger" released on Mon May 12, 2014. It was tragic, poignant, but in the spirit of the show. Here, I am hoping for Soo Hyun & Hoon come true. That is not counting various CFs, photo shoots, fanmeetings and God knows what else. Jae-joon pulls Hoon aside in order to tell him to get lost, making it a point to threaten him away from Soo-hyun. If shes Jae-hee, why did she hide her true identity from Hoon?

Honestly every trope has its cliche, I'm in for it as long as the characters make me feel for them. Just like how no two people have the same face. He thinks back to when he held Jae-hee to his heart and said that their heartbeats were the same. However, Soo-hyuns not so sure: Do you think hes thinking of me all the time? Hoon thinks for a moment before replying that hed be surprised if Jae-joon did, considering his prickly personalitynot to mention hers. I hope the writers keep that up and not destroy her character! 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.
