I didnt like that they made a competition out of important surgeries. 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. this probably sounds terrible, but i think SH/JH got into AMNESIAafter that dreaded fall on the bridge and FORGOT about her past with Hoon.

Soo-hyun slurs that Hoon should just forget about Jae-hee, but Hoon just breaks outa silly smile as he slurs back, Im going to hold onto her until I die.. Jae Hees confession to Soo Hyun that she will be leaving soon confirmed my suspicion that theres a higher probability that the ending of this series wont veer away from the original ending in the book (Doctor Stranger is based in a best-seller book Northern Doctor). Forget about lead roles in major dramas, she needs to take it slow and develop her skills. JSY doesn't come out as menacing at all, she seems lethargic.

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. That almost never ends well. That is not to say that there is already definite proof to confirm that Jae Hee is Seung Hee after all, not quite yet, nor do I believe that Park Hoon will be getting any concrete evidence this early on either. Im sure Hoon would have stayed there for a long time staring or would have tried to save her as well. To me, the hero has always loved one person. or i thought this drama was more how hoon get in a love traingle and how succeeds as doctor not about conspiracy about every old man that is in this drama.. and that thing with the heartbeat is also really how should i put it, dense?? - Albert.

When the realization hits, his eyes open wide. He owns the part of Jae-joon with authority even if I don't like the character for being a user of Soo-hyun. 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. Navigating through the nefarious plot is like mountain climbing with a 80 lb pack while being attacked by bees. Its a shame because the other 3 leads performances are quite splendid.

The actors and actresses performances are really commendable except the one lead (JSY) whos acting is just too stiff. Ok, not to dispute the medical accuracy of the Show (sarcastically stated, of course), but 2 hearts that are going at the same rate, barring any murmur, arrhythmia or extra S3 or S4 sounds, will ALWAYS sound the same, "I hope thats metaphorical, because if he can recognize her by her heartbeat, I might have to laugh out loud.

JSY's issues start with the very basic like emoting. I want more of these scenes. It is no wonder this is the worst hospital in Korea where people can just kill and steal patients at will, since about half the staff seems to be a NK spy or working with the North. Here, I am hoping for Soo Hyun & Hoon come true. Though I enjoyed the medical suspense part, the utterly obvious plot holes, illogical character development, and ridiculous storyline are just too much. Maybe because of Jin Se-Yeon's overlapping filming schedules with "Age of Youth", the outline of serveral episodes was affected and to be written into the plot in a logical way. I love Lee Jong Suk a lot, but it just wasnt doing it for me. Usually dramas reserve the opposites attract, random fall-over skinship, and the walk-in-to-the-bathroom tropes for the lead couple.

One, how did Hoon finally reach South Korea from Budapest? i know shes probably trying to protect him or whatever by being another person but shes annoying me. 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. But now that Hoon is back in the hospital and Chairman Oh is under Prime Minister Jangs thumb, Seung-hee claims that everything is going to plan.

I can name three dramas where the heroine (most definitely the heroine in that case) kissed someone who was not the other half of her OTP, but eventually got the boy anyway, and one of those dramas is sorta linked to both Kang Sora and Lee Jong-seok - she starred in the sequel, and the writer of that drama went on to write a drama he starred in that I think we all know ;).
