I think the video was brought by the smuggler to prove to Hoon that Jae Hee is alive. but to rate it, i would say 7.5, im not that a picky of watching drama unless its really that boring or problematic then thats another topic. I would definitely hate to see the OTPs romance being foiled by some arbitrary mission that may or may not be just another form of noble idiocy. The whole SeungHee/JaeHee reminds me the Chinese movie Black Cat (similar to the well-known French's Nikita or American's Point of No Return) In Black Cat, the female lead was dead then was revived and a chip was inserted in her brain to make her a killer. She probably woke up with amnesia, got brainwashed into the CAUSE (whatever that is), and her evil henchmen probably just told her there was a girl who looked like her that she should use as a study guide so she can manipulate this doctor with the perm for the CAUSE. 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 ;).

So he asks for a favor, but doesnt tell her what it is ahead of time. 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 ? Had Soo Hyun & Jae Joon met up at the end and visited a memorial or raised a glass to the two of them it would've made for a much more powerful ending IMO. Where Soo-hyun is wearing only a towel. But I seriously don't see it as such. sad to say that "Mok Dan" (cuz I havent bothered to remember her real name) is continuing her streak of characters I hate. But apparently PH looked really disappointed when he found out that she had 2 kidneys - but shouldn't he know that she would have 2 since she was the one who did the transplant? that scene when park hoon is beggin her her to remember him and how he is sorry that that he couldn't find her sooner how he goes on to explain that he did so much to look for her that scene is so heart breaking imagine you wait for some one you love so much and when you finally see them that person refuses to have ever known you let alone love you,,how much it would hurt and angry one would be. My take is Seung Hee is not Jae Hee. Lifetime Movie Present: The Secret Lives of College Freshmen (Tagalog Dub) Uncut TV5 Dubbing. However. I don't think the writers are lost. We never really got to know Jae-hee anyway, and Seung-hee is totally taking cold and calculating to another level, even playing with Chang-yi's mum's life just to do a mission for her country *sigh* Speaking of, Hoon wakes up to find framed pictures of Seung-hee hanging on the walls, and immediately thinks of Jae-hee. i only feel sad for the puppy fiancee. }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); As a child, a man and his father are kidnapped and brought to North Korea.

JaeHee/SeungHee is especially a very difficult role to play - the character is equally complicated and goes through a lot as much as the titular Dr Hoon - definitely not a role suitable for a novice. Especially a person who has accepted her fate. Has anyone watched Coffee House? b). There were so many elaborate plots and set-ups for a seemingly small thing. They have chemistry, and in a rom-com format, I might have shipped them together too. i know shes probably trying to protect him or whatever by being another person but shes annoying me. This drama has so many plot holes but it still can enjoyable if it jusr flows the way it is for the entertaining purpose only. Shes Jae-hee! he says, tears welling in his eyes. One heartbeat A love that even Fate cannot separate! I hope thats metaphorical, because if he can recognize her by her heartbeat, I might have to laugh out loud. to see him improve with each roll he takes on is so impressive).

The thing is, we're just thrown a lot of facts about them and we're supposed to just take it that they're madly in love with each other, without really feeling it.

And in that way shell get him back to Myungwoo Hospital, because if she goes, hell want to follow. Soo-hyun calls him Father for the first time in a long time, and tells him that shes sorry while thanking him for loving her mom. I could feel their characters growing from those. I've seen her do well in vibrant roles before, but being cold and monotonous only serves to compound on her weakness. Well damn, koala just made a clarion call over at koalasplayground (more than once actually) to leave all the worthwhile discussions within the drama recap thread rather than inundating it with actress bashing. She was equally upset when she broke it, even though she covered it up. 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. I certainly hope they do not spend the rest of the show just showing LJS trying to find JH. Some plot lines just really didn't add up and I find myself confused by the end of each episode. According to you, who was the most awesome character in this episode? Right after the scene where Hoon gets knocked out by the flying basin at Soo Hyun's mom's house Dr Moon showed up. In this episode, Jae Hee also told Soo Hyun that Hoon is the reason why her father died.

Take Vick (IRIS) who was played by TOP and Kim (Two Weeks) by Song Jae Rim or even Ryu Tae-oh (Gap Dong) by Lee Joon, these characters also fall under the same cold murderous villain archetypes, they too wear almost the same facade all the time. As for the other half of our leads, things are definitely shaping up romantically as far as Soo Hyun is concerned. I kept trying to like her, or at least be meh about her because she was Hoons love (assuming shes Jae-Hee) and I liked Hoon. Unfortunately, what I mentioned above was the ONLY thing I liked about the character. I agree. I just donotlike the way Seung-Hees character was written and directed. ), she hold her fist like she can't let her feeling own/rule her, and she did the same thing in this very current episode, ep 6.
