Don’t expect me to try and explain what just happened in episode 9 of Dr. Stranger. Have some majorly hot kissing instead! DS may have jumped the shark, or it may simply have sunk under the weight of its own increased levels of crazy, I’m not quite sure which one yet. This was one episode that made my head spin … Continue reading →
I don’t always follow an actor or actress’s career from the very beginning and most of the time I randomly fall for a performance and then go back to catch up on his or her oeuvre. It’s by sheer happenstance that I’ve actually had the pain/pleasure/weirdness of watching Jin Se Yeon‘s entire acting career from her very first debut in … Continue reading →
Some folks may be bothered by the lack of things making sense (vis-a-vis the real world) in Dr. Stranger, but the drama has been like that since its inception and never strayed from the formula of being wacky and all the more fun because of it. The hint of torture porn element in episode 1 what with the hospital of dissection … Continue reading →
Episode 8 was yet another wildly entertaining episode of Dr. Stranger and might be the first episode without a surgery performed. Instead the entire episode was about the back-and-forth planning for the twin surgeries led by Team Park Hoon and Team Jae Joon and it’s clearly a no-brainer that the earnest non-scheming doctor who will come out on top. There was … Continue reading →
I’m grateful Dr. Stranger remains true to its larger-than-life story and execution without being apologetic or trying to back track and be more logical so to speak. It’s fun and crazy and that’s what I love about it. Park Hoon continues his ascension as one of the most engrossing leading men in K-dramas this year and all this my ship-your … Continue reading →
It’s almost time for a new episode of Dr. Stranger and the big question at the end of episode 6 was whether Park Hoon recognized Seung Hee as Jae Hee through their shared heartbeat. It was ludicrous the first time around when he pointed that out to Jae Hee, it’s even more absurd if he can actually confirm Seung Hee … Continue reading →
I hope the Dr. Stranger watching experience does not devolve into the fervor of last year’s epic and messy Answer Me 1994 shipper fan wars. That was over which of the two male lead characters ought to get the girl, and perhaps it’s refreshing to see DS with the opposite problem of which of the two female lead characters viewers ship with … Continue reading →
Episode 6 of Dr. Stranger was all over the place in dialing up the conspiracy greater than expected and conflicting feelings shooting every which way. It’s easier to just watch rather than try and guess ahead, especially when it comes to whether Jae Hee is still alive and how come everyone seems to be in on whatever is brewing around … Continue reading →
Yay for more Dr. Stranger energy to kick start my Monday with another dose of crazy fun. It also doesn’t hurt to see gorgeous couple Jae Joon and Soo Hyun steam up the screen with some face-to-face closeness. Episode 5 continues the trend of Park Hoon operating in someone’s chest cavity in each episode, still offering good service to the … Continue reading →
I’m relieved to pare down my intake by two dramas what with Secret Love Affair and In a Good Way both ending last week. Loved both to pieces but I was starting to feel the strain of too much drama overload. This weekend let me look ahead to what’s on deck for next week and it’s official that my next crack … Continue reading →
Paging doctor doctor, come save me because I’ve got a bad case of loving you. The more absurd Dr. Stranger gets, the more it works as Park Hoon anchors the five-ring circus in the warm embrace of his kind and caring arms. This drama can also be renamed parents-in-peril as we see a parental figure die or almost die in … Continue reading →
I’m so loving Dr. Stranger its beyond bizarre. Considering the only two leads I liked were second leads Park Hae Jin and Kang Sora and I was ready to merely endure Lee Jong Seok and Jin Se Yeon, three episodes in and I’m fine if the entire drama is about Park Hoon performing random surgeries and being goofy the rest … Continue reading →
Holy mammasita are these two smoking hot together! The preview video and stills for episode 3 of Dr. Stranger have arrived and it’s whetting my excitement immensely. I can’t help it if the sight of Park Hae Jin and Kang Sora getting hot and heavy in a car leaves me quivering with excitement. I adore those two so even if their … Continue reading →
