[[Drama 2016] Doctors 닥터스]

Annyeong Patients!  I miss you guys and this awesome thread! What to do, I can't live in kdramaland even though that's the ONE thing I'd like to do 24/7/365 LOL. Thank you Patients for all your wonderful posts. I know I have a lot to tons to catch up and back track, in time I will. For now, *groupppp hugzzz*

Spoiler

For once, the most unlikely of characters would in fact draw me back to this thread, to all of you Patients  Yup, Doc JMH reminded me in ep 12 how blissfully happy all of you are. LOL. Cloud nine? Calling me? I'm HERE! haha.

Thanks chinguahhh @nonski for your weekly roll calls (happy belated bday to eomoni. hope you all had an awesome celebration).  I'm sorry that I couldn't respond as desired and LIVE stream with all of you Patients. But I still love this DOCTORS team and I'm still crazy over OTP JiHye, and also loving the cuteness of YD, loving the cuties like puppy and SH. Not all, I also still love JSW.  In fact, I feel for her more now just as I did when HJ was young, abandoned and hurting.

More than loving the above, I am absolutely impressed with this brilliant writer-nim. I love how she spins the awesome lines, puts the top on its head while spinning, and then let the top fall back down onto where it belongs originally, i.e. flat on its side, its original state. Just as tops come in all shapes, sizes and styles, so do writer-nim's brilliant lines come in all forms of unexpectedness.

Spoiler

One of many such examples, the scenes in ep 11 and 12 between JiHye (btw, I love these scenes. Both KRW and PSH were awesome! I actually teared up as HJ was spilling her inner thoughts to JH. What a courageous and frank lady-in-love. LOVE HJ TO DEATH!! Of course, I love JH too):

The central theme places a magnifying glass on the widely known saying that you can't expect your man to change, or not to try to change him, but to accept him as he is. But here comes writer-nim with HJ telling JH: CHANGE! (ep 11)

However, just as JH was really entertaining thoughts of 'changing' to embrace HJ, in all meanings of the word, writer-nim comes back again with HJ telling JH: She's sorry for cornering him to change when she herself wants to be loved for who she is (ep 12).

How brilliant! No? First coming at viewers with that jocular and witty idea 'make the man you love change for you'. Then later coming back just as wittily, and this time entrenching the truth of the wise saying, with having HJ admits she is wrong and in essence, admits to:  

 

Likewise, for all of us, this would be a good thought to bear in mind...

CR: Google

BUT, guess what I'm most heartened about? Yup. That JH loves HJ so (too much?) so so much that unconsciously, indirectly, JH is a changed man. Because of LOVE. Likewise, HJ herself has been changing over the years ever since teacher Hong Hong Hong entered her life. The icing on the cake? It's that unconsciously and beautifully, it was all because of love. For them, it is LOVE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN. (not platonic or friendly love)  

CR: Google

Isn't that a Wow!?   Love It ALL! So many more nuggets of life that moved and wowed me . I guess I'll be head (i.e. mind) over heels in love with writer-nim at the end of the drama (not that I'm not yet already so in love, haha). Can't wait for whatever else from writer-nim's brilliance will enthrall us all! Of course, same goes for Team Doctors, and errr...esp JiHye!

PS: TBH, though I love the JiHye kiss in ep 12 a lot, I really wish the cameraman wasn't told to pan away so much!

I love this plot premise. And if CJW and JJM take on their offered roles, that would really be awesome! It'd be a pair of seasoned and awesome professionals working together. I really hope they will accept their roles and work together. Frankly, I miss them both, and wouldn't this be their first collaboration?

I'm pretty excited for Ep 9 now (well even more excited lol)~ I can't wait to see JH and HJ's date ^^ Looking at what YD says though, I wonder what it will take for him to give up? I mean, I'm a bit iffy at the fact that he will go after HJ, with the knowledge that JH and HJ are dating. And the other things in the preview, like JH's father collapsing, I am worried as to what might possibly happen, as well the thought that the surgery YD's doing might not go well? 

This is a bit of a random thought, but since HJ was impressed by JH getting the stuffed animals from the toy claw machine, I wonder what her reaction will be if she sees the toy claw machine at JH's house lol.

LOL I was wondering about these same questions too,,,  

It seems that 'love' has messed up YD' - boosted his boldness to want to compete with JH for HJ's heart, knowing what he knows, why go there? Also, it seems his confidence and arrogance as surgeon has suffered due to the uncertainty over his emotional well-being, i.e. HJ's love. I think the surgery will be a failure and he will be affected by it. From the preview, hearing SW slap and tell YD off for giving her conflicting signals, I think I was right in my prior thoughts/post of YD where SW is concerned. 

And @Ayame besides wanting to see how HJ will feel when she sees JH's claw machine at his home, I'd like HJ to first have a reason to look into JH's office cabinet to find all those soft toys in there. I wonder if HJ will laugh and tease JH, or she will feel warm about his intentions...hahhha

 i think im not suitable to blend in place where there many difference of opinion

...that it's difficult to blend in, not just here, but almost anywhere where there are 'strangers' or 'peeps with differences'. It doesn't just affect you, but everyone, at one point or another in our lives. Isn't this life at play? Here's a good place for you to moderate your temperament, harness your thinking, tolerance and typing them down as you state your own POVs in your own way, your own unique style.

Not so. In fact, acknowledging your own shortcoming is a step in the right direction (btw, everyone has a temper, short or shorter, at some time or other). I don't mean to be presumptuous, so I'll let YD tell you...

Yup, I'm really 'bad' (at nags, so I won't even try, but I wanna tell you I understand what you're saying)

I understand. Sounds good! Alrighty chingu. Take time to cool down and come back again. Meanwhile ...

Glad love is love no matter what happens, just like your love(and mine, and all Patients) for Doctors. Looking forward to see you in our next Doctors' appointment. 

Btw...

and ... no need to do this...

...so, do come back when you are ready to party... just hearing you say you'll come back makes me wanna party  and I'll serve you some soju bomb   (posting this again...lol y'all can tell I'm so amazed at the art of soju bomb making! hehe)

Im not an only fan...seem you missed my past post when i say i ship hj with everyone and i know of course jihye  gonna end together which im fine with since i love jh too just im more bias to yd and he my fave.since i have short tempered childish personality i easily get annoyed when i saw negative comment of my bias character and get passionate when try to defend him and my language can be rude and i do exaggerate with the percentage which only my personal math so don't take it too seriously .and it not my intention to disturb the peace if not i would directly argue with people i disagree but i only release venting my feel in spoiler box but still i seem to pffend ppl and get accused as only fan which im not im just overprotective to my bias...ok i should go..it my mistake to delurk in 1st place since when im obsessed and passionate with thing i can get overboard with my word. I should just ignore what i dislike to read..k bye..enjoy the drama

@salz Hey chingu...don't go! And you've misunderstood my post, I think. While it's true that I've not been able to backtrack a lot, and so have missed many of your posts (biyan), I did not 'accuse' you of anything. I was merely 'wondering out loud'. Please don't misunderstand.  You did not disturb the peace. This thread is peaceful and civil, even if fans agree or disagree away. And no, no offence taken (at least for me, none. And I believe none for Patients too, since as far as I can see/read, everyone is open to each POV). NOT AT ALL. So, please don't go back into lurking mode. Speak up and post away, k? I enjoy reading heartfelt POVs, no matter which way or how it is expressed. 

So, PLEASE,,,kajimaseyo! PLEASE don't make me feel bad for making you drop out. If you do, I'll drop out too. CHEERS and PEACE?

Come on Yoon Do supporters (as a character, not necessarily as a partner for Hye Jung)!  Where you guys at? You know you guys don't see him as some creepy villainous guy! 

haha not that some haven't come out but the sad reality we just the minority since this thread kinda like 95% JH team, 1% YD, 1% SC, 1% mob boss, 2% HJ x everyone lol..

  Hide contents

they can't see the cute dorky man full of principle he is that we see because for them as 2nd lead he gonna be this annoying guy who gonna annoy them with every moment he have with HJ who took the screentime from their otp and it gonna be worse in future tbh so just be prepared since 12 ep left  

 

@ErikaJ @salz LOL are you guys YD's supporters and only YD?

 

CR:DC

Relax chingus and all YD supporters.  First, like you said, to each his own. Second, it's not as bleak as you think. There are many YD supporters, as far as I can see. Just not pure YD, and mostly not rooting YD with HJ since we all know who the main OTP is and what this drama plot is all about. But many, like me, are rooting for YD to steer clear of HJ so that he will not, like what SW has told him, get hurt and be miserable again. I for one truly want YD to have a positive effect on SW. The way I see YD, he has good feelings for SW. They have been good friends for a long time, and SW has been a true friend to him, each time bailing him out from the pits when he was dumped. I think YD has become too comfortable and too close to SW that he could not have recognized that SW and him are compatible, and that he probably already likes SW, just hasn't realized it yet, and now that HJ has gotten on his radar and makes his heart flutter, he is distracted. HJ is new and fresh in his eyes and his mind. And since he is always drawn to 'girls with a past', that's why HJ looks exciting to him. But to be honest, SW also has a past, albeit one of one-sided crush over teacher Ji Hong.

I think even if for the next few eps YD tries to hit his head on a rock - yup, the rock of steady and steadfast love from Ji Hong to HJ, and her now grabbing it reinforces the strength of this rock of love. Don't forget, it's been brewing for 13 years! - he'll soon wake up to his senses. But me, I'm game to see more of his antics and comics LOL. I have to say, YD has that talent  TBH, YGS the actor is very new to me, or rather, was not on my radar of actors to watch out for. However, I like his persona here and his acting is good too. TBH, I'm drawn to his cuteness by the ep. He'll be an actor I'll watch out for. In Doctors, I won't say he's the second lead, cos he's in the main 4 cast, which I believe some would call Team A cast, while the supporting are Team B cast. SC on the other hand, is a second lead, since he's a supporting cast, just as SH is too. Anyhoo, I can't wait to see YD and SW's relationship take a turn for the better, and for the romance to bloom. TBH, I don't know how that will come about, since at the moment YD is pushing SW away and gunning for HJ. But I think YD is a smart man, and should realize soon that he can't cause a heart to beat for him when that heart has already flown to another man. And not just recently, but the love has been hibernating for 13 years, either out of not knowing what that 'lingering feeling' meant, or denying a love could brew, since HJ never did think she's 'JH's equal' in all aspects of background. 

And ohhh, many can see the dorky man in YD. I'm sure of that! In fact, he's so dorky at times that I'd so wish for him to team up with JH to give us some more Dorky Bromance...hehe. Anyone for it? Yup, Ji Hong too can be so darn dorkily cute at times, or is that what is termed childish for a mature man? I love it anyway hehe. And when we put dorky next to dorky, what do we get? Yup, super Dorky Bromance. LOL. I want more! And of course, I want more Girly Womance too. In fact, I hope the womance would return to how it were before, with HJ+SH+SW all being happy together. I believe SH and HJ will have a hand in changing SW later, and where they will be tight again. I really hope so.

YD is not annoying, IMO. How can a cute and handsome guy like YD be annoying? Arrogant yes. I wish he'd keep showing us more of his arrogance. I like that side of him. It was a pleasure to watch him being arrogant and later morphing into an apology or two.

Thank you Patients for keeping it all ciivl and still friendly. This thread is a blast! Coming her during intervals of the drama is such a blast as well. We have tons of talents and insightful and interesting posts here. Thank you Patients. Keep on! (Psst...There are many YD supporters who I bet a lot are in lurking mode. If you are one of them, come on out and share your thoughts). 

Patients, you guys can tell I love the main 4, and then some more, like SH and SC. But of course, the crux of this plot is about JiHye and how they grow closer and fall in love, how they'll overcome their obstacles in love, work and family+friends. Pretty much what life is all about - our family, our work and our loves(lover+friends). 

YD Fighting! SW Fighting! and last but not least, JiHye FIGHTING!!! 

Spoiler

Btw,, I don't think this thread is 95% JH and 1 or 2% the rest. I believe this thread is (IMO only) prob 40% JH 45% HJ and together, that makes 85% for JiHye Couple, while the remaining 15% is for the rest, prob 6% for YD and 4% for SW, together they make 10%, while 5% for the rest like SC, SH, Puppy and all other supporting cast. Yup, the bulk goes to PSH fans cos she has a huge fan base, followed by KRW fans which is also pretty huge, and so on. 

@kixamay Awww.... chingu, jinja? You made me float on cloudnine hehe. Thank you and I love your posts too

Soju and beer right? 

Hey sista, yes that was soju+beer. A very intoxicating beverage that's all the rage now, and has been for years, in SK. Of course, it's made more dangerous and addictive cos of kdramas LOL.  It's called a Bomb(폭탄 pogtan) Beverage(주 ju). What they had was Soju Bomb - a combi of beer and soju. It can also come in another version of soju and whisky. Perhaps even more versions out there these days. Amazing how PSH was able to 'bang and drink' so smoothly. And dorky KRW, so funny. But I'm sure it isn't new to KRW the actor. LOL Ji Hong was so cute, with that red forehead as proof of his dorkiness. LOL.

Patients, cheers! Let's be happy while we await more cheese, I mean, more Doctors. Hmm... cheese and soju bomb, how about that? (we can get intoxicated and float till ep 9 comes...)

All the 'hatred' for Jin Seo Woo. Hmm... I have, I guess, a different train of thoughts on her I'd like to share. Soon. M/w, no harm trying to understand the actress LSK better. Anyway, this interview was done just before the premiere of Doctors, prob in June, and hence this drama was not included in the interview. There'll be another soon though. 

I thought she did very well if her portrayal could garner such dislike of her... hehe.  She certainly has improved a lot since her debut in It's OK It's Love.

So much to catch up on here in this thread. Not sure if I can in a short time since the pages fly faster than I can click next page LOL... Anyhoo, thanks to all Patients for all insightful and interesting posts  It'd be such an injustice to not catch up and back track, right? *huff puff I will try*

Im still on cloud nine with these two. Speaking of cloudnine where is she? @jadecloud Miss you sista! Hope all is well on your end?  Did you run off like our Jihye couple?  

LOL @Kasmic SISTA! Yah! I love the way you connect my avi namesake to your train of thoughts. Very skillfully done. Bravo  But yeah, join me on cloudnine anytime hehe. Miss you too and thanks for your concern and your tag. All's well, just RL taking me away from here where my mind and heart is. Actually, I'd like to be the one running off with HongHongHong, holding his hand keke... so can I? LOL. But then again, I don't want JiHye to break up, not even for a moment now that Hye Jung has 'held' Ji Hong's hand and is slowly opening her heart to him as well. Does this mean we will get more cheese? Real cheese? I hope so. At least some kinda cheese till our couple has to give us angst for whatever reason.

I love eps 7 and 8. So many awesome moments and awesome feels which I'm pretty sure Patients have pretty much covered inside and out, and all angles. Bravo Patients! I love how ep 7 ended with sadness and ep 8 in contrast, ended with so much kkuljaem for viewers. I esp love how writer-nim did not make SC die, nor drag out his state of health post-accident. But one thing I wished writer-nim would have dragged out for us, which I'm sure we'll all gladly be dragged along, is for Ji Hong to have more green-eyed monster moments. It's so precious and rare to see a man like KRW in a jealous kinda 'rage', esp when that person is always smiley HongHongHong  However, I'm absolutely not complaining if instead of giving us monstrous green, we get cheesy yellow. For that, and more of that cheese, I'd be over the moon and back on cloudnine again    

I know so much has been written of ep 7 and 8, but I just had to squeeze in my Moments of Fluff hehe.... (I know, so not deep, right? LOL) 

Most Comical Moment for me...it's a tie... LOLOL and I can't stop LOLing when I see these gifs (thanks to creator...sorry I lost track of who these originated from)

Spoiler

 

The tie for Most Comical Moment  ... LOL too funny  

That was HongHongHong... 

This was what I did...  

Spoiler

Most Matched Couple, JiHye.... seriously, JH and HJ are acting like they are already a married couple, you know what they say of married couples and their looks and actions, right? LOL...HJ with her mouth full of rice cake, and tilting her head like JH did when she sees SC...

The Cutest Winker...and please think 'cute' really 'cute' and don't wander anywhere near the gutter LOL. To be clear, and I have to be very clear since we have a swarm of pervvies here LOL....this is exactly what I mean...

Spoiler

...and that acclaim goes to SC (until JH comes up with his, then perhaps I'll change my mind hehe)...that wink+smile is soooooooo cute   such a darling too. So glad he wasn't 'killed off'. Thank you writer-nim!

Spoiler

But of course, Most Fave Moment for me has got to be from JiHye Couple.... love love love the ending of ep 8.  To me, this alone was a twist for me. I didn't expect writer-nim to have HJ open up her heart so soon. But I love this surprise! Unexpected progress, or unpredictability, is always welcome, writer-nim...JJANG!

@irilight I agree chingu.... STOP COMPARING with DOTS, media! I'm afraid there's no comparison, and with no offense to DOTS fandom. To begin with, I personally prefer this plot. But there's no doubt that all casts involved in both dramas are awesome acting pros. I love SJK and SHG too. Although, at the moment, I'm loving KRW and PSH, I mean a crazy level kinda of loving. Ah yes, as HJH has said "how can we not go crazy in love?" And I'd add 'with Doctors & JiHye'...LOL.  

On the other hand, I believe Doctors has already surpassed any kdrama todate in terms of reception, based on its overseas licensing record-breaking deals. I'll be subbing a k-news and a c-news vids about it ... we're only in ep 6, I believe ratings-wise, Doctors will fare even better as the plot thickens, or rather, the cheeseeeeee curdled LOL

Hmm...

Is a Bromance btwn JH and YD brewing? Will they end up working together rather than be love rivals? I see YD may be good for JH's fight with SW's dad and grandpa when hospital politics become a showdown later.

LOL IKR! Me too... just gone away for several hours and out comes the preview. Geez.

 

Gahhhhhhhhh looks like HJ and JH are lovers!  They both look different. And what's that between JH and YD?  LOL... YD seems so afraid of JH. Also, if I heard rightly, that was SW shouting to perhaps her dad(?) that she must marry JH! Wonder how that's going to work out. JH ...oh I love this writer-nim, giving us cheese and more! LOL. At the end of prev, he shouts to HJ 'you make my heart trembe', and 'lover' 'it's good!'. Wah! Monday's ep is going to be very interesting.

Makes me think...ep 6 ended with that tentative, awkward but sweet FIRST KISS and then a cliff-hanger... Perhaps ep 7 will show us HJ ACTUALLY KISSED HIM BACK as a form of accepting him? Possible right? Now my heart is trembling LOLOLO

 Preview Ep 7...Enjoy!

@angelangie @UnniSarah I know stepmom seemed so hateful back then and even now.  I agree she would be better off gone than sticking by HJ's side. Her behavior at the hospital is disgusting, and with no consideration for HJ's reputation, work and colleagues. I was glad that HJ was able to tell her off bluntly despite it being a public place.

But I somehow don't feel that stepmom will be chased away by HJ's dad even if he now knows HJ was abused by her all those years. The reason is because of HJ's half-sister Yoo Na (haha gotta check her name). Who knows, perhaps there was a backstory as to why stepmom behaved the way she did back then and even till today? Perhaps there exist  a misunderstanding somewhere that made stepmom dislike HJ? Perhaps HJ's dad was the one who deceived  everyone when he had kept a mistress? Perhaps she the stepmom herself was a product of family abuse? Also, HJ's dad could be likewise too. This is why I am eager to see grandma's backstory. I think she said she had a very tough time in the past too, didn't she? 

In which case, if abuse stemed back to generations before, and involved both dad and stepmom, even grandma, then as is commonly known, abuse usually happens in a cycle which is almost impossible to break, esp when no intervention or acknowledgement of abuse being wrong is done. And so the abused became the abuser and on and on the cycle continues spinning.

Somehow, I really hope HJ and YN can click and be siblings, and enjoy being siblings. I think family is still a connection that is dear to HJ's heart. Because here we are talking about her father. The only real link to her roots. And if indeed abuse was rooted back eons ago, then hopefully this generation is when the stoppage is hopefully done, where healing can begin for all of them. 

Anyway, so curious to find out how this will pan out. Like both of you, I sure hope writer-nim will deliver an awesome script, that apart from cheese (and more more please LOL) that all else will be just as awesome.

QUESTION CHINGU,    i THINK HJ'S FATHER STOLE THE TITLE OF HER HALMEONI'S RESTAURANT. THEY NOT ONLY TOOK THE MONEY FROM THE SELLING OF THE RESTAURANT BUT THE SETTLEMENT MONEY OF THE SURGERY SO THEY CAN HAVE A BETTER LIFE.  i AM THINKING SHE IS BETTER OFF WITHOUT THEM.  IF I AM WRONG PLEASE CORRECT ME. 

@UnniSarah Hello chingu... I don't think you're wrong. That was pretty much what they had done. HJ was PO'd at them for not questioning SW's dad over the surgery details and just taking the compensation money. Of course, HJ's dad said old age was an issue and that they only received 'funeral money'. BS! The sale and comp money gave them that restaurant and a better life. In fact, I bet they took all of grandma's recipes as well. That half-sister (though I must admit I like her, she's innocent) was able to get the best of living and education, except she is not as smart as HJ to be able to do better in her studies.

At this rate of details unfolding, I'm really curious as to how writer-nim can propose a family reunion at some point that can be acceptable and credible. Would remorse and begging for forgiveness suffice? Or there could be another backstory within the story that the description has shown? Hmm...?

@evie0 Hey my new G+ chingu You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed the BTS. Yup, like you, I haven't gotten over that helipad reunion scene yet. Nor that wrestling one. Still checking them out ... so good, JiHye rocks! Can't wait for the BTS for that 'dance and kiss in the rain'!

It seems to me that she puts it out there that she knows JH better than he does. She knows him better than anyone else. Is it possible that they were both orphans in the same orphanage, they became best friends there, grew up together or something like that?. I think JH's best (girl) friend will be HJs formidable foe. It can be difficult for any woman to establish a relationship with a man who has a best friend like IJ around. IJ has JHs past, they have a history together. JH has to set boundaries with her, stat. He did ask IJ to look afte HJ - that could come back to haunt him later. Just speculating ...

@lc85 Pretty good spec there, I'd say. I think too, for the same reasons you've stated, that IJ would cause us JiHye lovers some angst later on. Why? Because HJ may once again be spoken to by IJ, and may once again think for JH's sake and leave him to IJ. Perhaps when JH's dad get into legal trouble? or perhaps conned by SW's dad and grandpa of all his shares in GIMC? 

Of course. I hope not. Even if JH were to get into trouble at home, hope that HJ will be by his side and help him stay strong and act smartly. They are both professionals renowned for their specialty skills. Even if JH's dad were to lose everything, which could mean JH too, they should still do very well on their own. Yes?

I was curious again on the character description of HJ's father and stepmother, so I looked it up [credit to pshdaily]:

YOO MIN HO [HYE JUNG'S FATHER]: He is sensitive and strongly egoistic. He has a strongly dictatorial character and will be very angry if things don’t go under his control. Hye Jung’s mother has the same personality like him that always make them collide. He unintentionally injured and made Hye Jung’s mother die. Even though he feels guilty toward Hye Jung, he still neglects Hye Jung due to the ashamedness he has.

LEE GA JIN [HYE JUNG’S STEPMOTHER]: Mistress turned into a wife. She has a forced kindness. Always unconditionally say “yes” in front of her husband. She pretends to be a victim while also slowly gains her strength. She acts the same with Hye Jung. In the end, she isn’t the one who can’t tolerate Hye Jung, but it’s Hye Jung who can’t endure and decided to leave the house.

Hm, interesting. I wonder though. How did HJ's father unintentionally injure HJ's mother? Although, I guess since HJ's stepmother is described as a mistress, HJ's father did cheat before HJ's other died, after all. 

@Ayame Thank you for digging and translating these two characters' descriptions. So he was cheating and in a heated fight with HJ's mom, he must have 'killed' her. Wow! Wonder if HJ knew this was how her mom died? That stepmom, a pretender! No wonder HJ's dad didn't know HJ was being abused? Or could it be that he knew but chose to stay silent and pretended not to know? Wonder if late grandma knew how HJ's mom really died?

Guess we'll get to see a backstory on HJ's family. In fact, we need backstories on all of them.

Like I shared before it's a miracle HJ turned out the way she did and her fathers greatest loss will have been not knowing just how amazing his daughter truly is....

@USAFarmgirl Hmm... I don't see HJ turning out the way she is today as a miracle. Well, perhaps her giftedness and high IQ, but her achievement as a neurosurgeon at such a young age did not come by accident. Nor was it easy. If HJ cramped and studied the way she did back in high school, I'd imagine she put in 1000 percent while in medical school. It was all hard work and perseverence that got her to where she is today. Besides, she merely slept 10 hours a week! Whoa!, how many of us would sleep under 2 hours a day and can get by? Besides, she did also forgo fun(including dating, although there's another reason why she didn't - still pining over JH who's in her heart) and clubbing like any regular undergraduate and graduate would do.

I suspect HJ's dad could have cheated on her mom, causing her to go crazy, losing her health or have something happened to her that caused her death. Then in came stepmom right away, abusing HJ because she couldn't make HJ listen to her, and she couldn't bear to raise HJ because, first, they're already poor, and second because she's not her own bio child. And that dad, what a loser as a man and a dad. He's probably another kdrama man led by the erhem and had no erhem to protect his child. (pardon my language inference , am really mad at HJ's dad )

Fortunately for him, Asian/Korean values dictate and promote family bonds. As we have seen in ep 6, HJ's already feeling 'soft' and kinda missing her dad. Hence her trip to their restaurant to check out the family, mostly her dad, in secret. I believe a turn around of bad feelings would likely happen, prob post-stepmom's surgery, (probably with YD's help?) in particular, helped by her half-sis who as character description goes, adores HJ and tries to mediate.

I can't say that I'd dislike this line of development if it's what writer-nim has in mind. However, I really hope there'll be a proper remorse and forgiveness from stepmom and dad to HJ. Poor girl, she really did suffer a lot, which is an inadequate expression, an understatement for my lack of a better word right now.  

@bebebisous33 Love your insights on HJ's dad, and pretty much everything else, with some slight different takes  About the dad, above is what I think. Also, I don't think HJ was abandoned before. since we saw her living and being abused by stepmom. I guess she was neglected and abused a lot, and where her dad closed an eye to it all cos he was 'enamored and busy' with the stepmom back then. I have a feeling stepmom got pregnant with HJ's half sister, and hence dad had to 'let slide whatever way stepmom was behaving and doing'. Absolutely wrong. No matter what his reasons may be. 

I think (if my memory serves me well) HJ knew she would be abandoned someday by her dad and stepmom, esp after her mom's death, and particularly because she is the exact opposite of being the apple of her stepmom's eyes. So when she was finally dropped off at grandma's, she confirmed her own deepest fears.

I don't know if IJ married out of spite.

@CamelKnight Yes IJ did marry out of spite after she was ceremoniously told in no uncertain terms by JH that he never did see her as a woman, nor love her as more than a hoobae and friend. It was mentioned but I can't recall where. 

Now that she's divorced, and as some have pointed out, it won't be surprising for her to try again. Although that's delusional when HJ is back in JH's life. I hope she won't turn hateful, and won't instigate SW to do more wrong.

About your love for PSH, why don't you introduce your sig other to KRW? That way, you can both admire JiHye and watch the drama together...hehe

SBS Entertainment News Coverage of Doctors thus far... refresh your mind and await ep 7...hehe

Btw, @thea2410 awesome FMV. Thank you chingu. Please .... more more :P Now you're also playing with my mind about this ship haha. Though they look good too, but in my mind, HJ is only meant for JH and vice versa, so that's pretty rock solid, I think. However, I do hope YD will have a positive effect on SW and perhaps through her love for him, and his love for her evolving later, that she can be transformed with his help and guidance. Perhaps real and sincere love will be the one factor that can transform SW. At least, that's what I hope. And perhaps we can have the TRIO GALPALS back together later. I pray for this to happen, the GIRLS to be FRIENDS again.

@jadecloud   @jadecloud Your recent post question about KS SH Love connection --- If the writer has the story go this way - I would support it -- But I do not think it will go that way-  If KS has a love a connection, I think it will be HJ Half Sister YN- soon to be a school teacher - at this point she seems sweet and caring - nice match for KS.

YD Uncle for SH --- NO NO - EP 5 at approx  35 mins-- tells us he is a divorced playboy/womanizer - not a good choice for SH IMO

Extract repost of prior thoughts (my post pg 272)

SH Love Connection - this will be the break we need when the HJ JH story reaches the dark episodes
--- SH had met 3 of the doctors in training - one will be her love connection--
------ CKS - AKA the puppy - Could be a Noona romance connection - I do not think drama will go this way beyond a slight misdirection possibility
------ PYK- SW friend/one sided SW Love -- Could be another case of SW losing a friend story - but do not see him as SH love connection
------KKJ- Glasses, senior doctor in training- the great Kdrama trope of two people who dislike each other at first- but then continue to meet and grow to like each other - this is my bet for the SH Love connection.

@Kfan7172 I got ya. Your analysis is pretty astute. You may be right chingu. I agree, YD's uncle isn't suitable for SH, and not because he's divorced but that he is a player. SH's too innocent and sweet to suffer a player. So, no can do,, unless he can change? However, I don't want SH to be paired off with KKJ. To me, he's too err... boring. If not KS, I'd prefer YK, although I find him too 'political', always looking for 'connections'. Very calculative guy. 

Perhaps it would be biker-delivery cutie boy SC? Since SC has no luck with HJ, perhaps never started being romantic back then, perhaps it was just his one-sided crush....then perhaps HJ may connect him with her bestie? I'd support that. A quiet vs a bubbly... perfect! How about that?
