I wonder if it’s as painful for the actors in Dr. Stranger to soldier on until the end as it has been as a viewer to stick with it. I am invested enough, against all reason, to want to know how the scriptwriter plans to end it all. Jae Joon finally does something in episode 18 but I have a feeling he might just waffle in the end and save Chairman Oh’s life by operating on him. He will use forgiveness and doing the right thing to prove to Chairman Oh what a real doctor acts like. I will be proud of him if he does that, but honestly Chairman Oh is so ethically impaired I doubt he would change his ways, other than the drama throwing in a personality switch to redeem him. I see that happening since Soo Hyun is really so innocent in everything and if her dad continues to be a deranged medical criminal then it’ll be hard for her to get a happy ending down the road. I wish the noble idiocy misunderstanding between Hoon and Jae Hee will get swept aside soon, even if she ends up dead I don’t want her dying words to be about how she never hated him and did everything in a harebrained attempt to keep him safe.
I wish the Hoon of episode 2 would show up because that was the dude who orchestrated a medical escape attempt and managed to ride a motorcycle through the streets of Budapest while eluding North Korean agents. I don’t know why folks never question his sudden spy master abilities and keep questioning Seung Hee’s, LOL. The ultimate destruction of this drama has been the one-track perception of characters and behaviors to justify fans’ own preferences for shipping, as well as the production fully taking advantage of the live shoot to rearrange the story to pander to ratings. I’ve never seen a mid-drama rewrite ever save a sinking ship, and sometimes sticking with the original concept and execution at least creates something cohesive (if still bad) rather than a cobbled together mishmash of everything. The written preview for episode 19 is pretty slim pickings but it’s better than nothing. Since next week is the finale, it’s time to have a little poll fun so go ahead and vote for the ending you think will happen and the ending you want to happen. Let’s see which leading lady character is favored to win the chew toy known as Park Hoon.
Written preview for episode 19:
Soo Hyun finds her father Chairman Oh collapsed on the floor and tells Jae Joon that if he’s not going to be a doctor and wants to be a murderer then he needs to leave the hospital. On the other hand, Hoon plans to meet directly with the President and reveal PM Jang’s secret plan. Hoon tries to avoid PM Jang to meet with the President as he pays a visit to the hospital, but……….

"Tells Jae Joon that if he's not going to be a doctor and wants to be a murderer then he needs to leave the hospital." Just when my hatred for Soo Hyun went down a little from the previous episode, this raised the bar back up, and even higher. This may be absurb, but Jae Joon can't be labeled a murderer here. He did nothing to the chairman, except looking at him. The heart attack was because of Jae Joon, but due to the chairman. Jae Joon didn't just have fairy dust given to him to give him some magical power to cause the heart attack. That's not the big problem. Shouldn't she tell her father to leave the hospital? Compared to Jae Joon, the chairman is far worst than him. IT seems to me that OSH literally forgot everything that she has found out that her father has done. But, I understand that she wants her father alive. But to label JJ as a "murderer" is somewhat laughable compared to what the chairman has done.
While I'm not a fan of Soo Hyun's character arc, she does have a point with Jae Joon just standing there and watching Chairman Oh collapse. He even moved the phone away from him. That's depraved indifference, and in Nice Guy when the Chairman was having a heart attack and Jae Hee moved his pills away and stopped him from calling out for help, that's a crime.
I'm more annoyed that Jae Joon can't pick his revenge, does he want to destroy Chairman Oh and have him live his life in jail with his precious hospital gone, or does he want him dead. I feel like it would be more satisfying to save Chairman Oh and then have him face justice. I also get Soo Hyun's point, as a doctor he just violated the Hippocratic Oath and he might as well scram rather than acting like he's still blameless himself.
Ahh, I forgot that that could be a crime. Silly me. But I see it fit Jae Joon that he moves the phone away and not help the chairman though. It just shows his darker side that has recently been shown to us. I have to say that this scene was one of the best in that episode. I don't know. I just have a thing for characters that go crazy/explodes(just can't think of the correct word), or the character(s) being a maniac.
I can see that they might go the route of saving Chairman Oh more than having him dead. I just have this feeling. But, I don't get the feeling that Jae Joon acts like he's blameless. He knows very well what he's heading into, but still decides to go. I understand Soo Hyun being mad about what Jae Joon has done to her father, I just hope she doesn't forget everything she has learned about her father with the things he has done.
The least they could do at this point is to give us a satisfying ending. As bad as the story has become, I'm surprisingly looking forward to the last 2 episodes.
every recap, you always make sure to write a long ass essay on your hatred for soo hyun lol
such dedication <3
I hope and I beg park hoon be choice oh soo hyun! because I see they are have a character for being a couple. althought oh soo hyun have less complicated but I hope they can be a couple!for jae hee I hope she can find her happiness :) and for jaejoon I hope he get him happiness too!I hope end of doctor stranger is happy ending o:) = hoonhyun :)
Hahahah I smiled when I see the poll for whoever ends up with Park Hoon. Is it really the only interested part of the story & only reasons why the fans keep watching this drama? As of me, I don't care who ends up with Park Hoon. I hate Seung Hee or the director for making Park Hoon character like dumb puppet of everyone especially Jae Hee. I'm getting sick everytime im watching Jae Hee delivers her unconvincing line. If there is someone who should be holding the gun & trained to gun down & fight- it should be Park hoon coz Seung Hee is not that healthy to accomplish the so called plot came from nowhere...Lee Jong Suk acting talent & effort is exceptional but the Director & Writer of this drama wasted it for giving some extra highlights part to other big or upcoming stars in this drama. Overall I will not quit watching & supporting Doctor Stranger for Lee Jong Suk only...Thanks for the written preview, I hope you don't mind if I share it.
I hope Hoon ends up with neither.
Why i do feel that jae hee is the hero of this drama even her screen time are less than hoon.. jae hee has done a lot of things that sacrifice herself and she become stronger. For hoon, i know that it is good to be a good doctor but what i find from hoon that his promises to jae hee doesnt reflect to his action except for the transplant thing.. he always said that he want to protect jh but at the end, jh is the one that protect him..
Soo hyun also gain the benefit from the jae hee sacrifice.. so, what i really want at the end of story is the jh's happiness.. if she can't get hoon, i hope there is a guy that suddenly appear to love jh more...
me too
Me three..
me four!
Me five :)
me six :)
Hahahaha. Its funny! Its obvious that the one who visits your site is hoonhee shippers because you always hats soohyun that much! Your trying to be neutral but its obvious that you are a hoonhee shipper dear! I wont visit your page anymore! Bye!
i agree..
Byee,,it better for u,,
Its obvious who frequently visits your site! And you hate soohyun that much!
Why you hoonhee shippers has only one brain? And keep saying that the script is re-written due to hoonhyun fans demand? Seriously? How powerful we are if thats the case. Hahahahaha.
And yet you campaign on the PD's IG/Twitter so much just to make sure Hoon and Soohyun ends up together.
For the record I'm not even shipping Hoon with either girl, but you fans unabashed attempts to change the script leaves a bad taste in my mouth, then you get butthurt when people call you up for it.
Hypocrisy much?
Every once in a while there's a second lead couple that some go crazy over. For the most part I don't care, ship and let ship etc etc, but there are fans who are so obnoxious about it that the very last thing I would want ever is for their OTP to be endgame.
*flicks holy water on you *leave
LOL, the holy water won't work. Hehehe, you need an exorcist.
Hahahaha. you only believe what you want to believe.
Seriously, three different IDs and the same lame ass comment every time. Most of us could care less about HoonHee as a couple. The script going to hell in a hand basket drives us nuts!
you spend too much time to bash soohyun that much ha? Lol
Dooooood, to the four comments above, stop changing your username. It's lame. I'll delete going forward.
LoL koala, i already had this feeling how come there is so much people hate on jaehee and jin seyeon, then the answer is it only one ot two people that keep changing their username. Gosh and they said u spending much time on hatin, aren't they the one who spend too muuuuuuuchhhhhhh of their time for comin here and post those beyond idiot hateful comment. SO SO SO LOL
