[Drama 2016] Doctors 닥터스

[lovehbhjw2013]

Kdrama screening is pretty strange.  Always like to put similar theme shows screening at the same time..  I wonder if they deliberately co-ordinated it.   It gave the actors very intense competition to play their roles well  and the writers as well and it caused confusion to the audience sometimes because the themes are so similar... LOL

In any case I enjoy this doctor show too....at this point maybe not as much as Beautiful Mind but let's see...the writers may compete really hard in their storyline or could be both would emerge as winners in their own rights.

So far so good. Love this cast can't wait for more. Rae wons eyes are so expressive and impressive always loved him for that. They look great as a pair minus age diff.

 

The age difference is supposed to be there because we are still in the past- she is his student... They will look appropriate next week- when we go back to present time. Even then their chemistry is really nice when they are still teacher and student

@lovehbhjw2013

They both  are medical drama but total different. BM is much darker and very political/ psychology focused while Doctors is much lighter/ warmer and is a human drama that focus on the growths of the main characters.

It's just personal preference which one we like more.

But I don't see to need to compare or bring one down to make the other one better. And definitely no need to bring another drama to this thread for that purpose. I'd not go to BM thread to say I enjoyed Doctors better. It's common sense and respect.

 Anyway, I'm glad you enjoy Doctors too

I am so thrilled with the ratings!  increasing...!  Let it continue this trend... 


I watched the 2nd ep. subbed late last night. 
It actually felt darker than when we watched it live, with that deep jealousy.

Got to run for work.

Will catch up later...  

 

@irilight... Annyeonghaseyo Great to see you here Chingu. I enjoyed watching episode 1 and 2 of this drama. PSH has done a great job and I specially love her stunts. She is such a badass. Her chemistry with the teacher was awesome. I have to say all the cast did a great job. I hope they keep it up. 

[hell59]

Finally a K-drama that kept me interested from the beginning. I am loving the chemistry between PSH and KRW. It seems that it is going to be a good story! I am very excited about it!

[Drama Review] 'Doctors' - Episode 2

By eric_r_wirsing

 

DOCTORS - EPISODE 2

 

Spoiler

There will be a lawyer chasing after them in 3,2,1...

Our heroine makes a decision to "live differently." And she does. She studies hard, makes friends, and helps save a stranger's life. But not everything is sweetness and light -- Hye Jung places first on a math test, and the smart girl who tutored her, Seo Woo, is jealous, and decides to make trouble by posting a malicious rumor about Hye Jung and the teacher on social media. But when Soon Hee assembles the two to get them to make up, a combative Seo Woo ends up unconscious as the building starts to burn...

We learn that Ji Hong's parents were killed in a car accident while he was very young, so the president of the hospital is not a blood relation. That explains why, last episode, two admins were talking about taking the hospital over when the old man passes, as there were no heirs. Doesn't quite explain why Ji Hong is his legal guardian, however.


What happens if you listen to BTS' "Fire" too loud

So now we get the mean girl. I was wondering when that would happen. It's a standard trope in teen drama, even though it went from good to bad in a single episode.

Speaking of pacing, Hye Jung is no longer the troubled teen and turns her life around. She claims its luck, but it's not. Too quick? Not really. She sees how good it feels to make a difference, and the fruits of success are not always tangible.


Come on! This is no place to play 'Light as a feather, stiff as a board!'

Okay, this is officially my new favorite drama. It's got action, suspense, victories, and moving moments. I wasn't sure I'd find something as gripping as 'Who Are You: School 2015,' but now I finally have.  

 

 

Score

Plot........................9
Cinematography...9
Pacing...................10

 

OVERALL............9.6

Just completed episodes 1 on DramaFever and was ready to paste my first post having written it in Notebook --- But WOW - when I open this forum it is already 133 pages - I am very late -- but paste/post I will - looks like there must be a site with faster subs then DF, will check Viki -- then likely hold off any other posts until episode 3 when I hope to be on track with rest of forum.  I have cut my first post to a basic overview of my thoughts on the leads - but I find them so great, I admit I went a bit long.

After viewing episode 1, I am looking forward to a great drama - I was hooked in the first few minutes , YHJ is going to be a great heroine--Looks like an actual,basic nice guy lead (HJH) and a strong, smart, feisty female lead (YHJ) -- With this combination I am all ready to support the OTP --since this is not a 100+ episode daily, I am very hopeful that YHJ will not get beaten down to the point that she loses for a time her core strengths during the mid episodes - but after having survived her harsh childhood, it is hard to see what/who could knock her down-no doubt the writer will set me straight on that point and likely it will revolve around HJH, the man who is going to help during her darkest period and set her up to bloom into the wonderful woman we saw in the first few minutes.  Also, loved her grandmother, she will also play a big role in the reborn YHJ - thank goodness YHJ was blessed with a lot of her strength, tough life exterior/ warm heart.  HJH a basic nice guy and one whom the ladies are drawn too- what a concept- a nice change from the leads in a few of the last dramas I viewed.  HJH YHJ both looking to have sad back stories, (YHJ shown ep 1, HJH hinted at) but still strong and resilient.

Also, looking forward to another great drama with Park Shin Hye - have only seen her in 'Heartstrings" and thought she was great.

Need to read back pages - may even be able to add something before next week.

Doctors: Episode 1

by dramallama | June 22, 2016

 

Doctors may not be about doctors quite yet, but I can see a promising story to be told through the journey of becoming one, particularly with our hot-headed heroine. We start out with the backstory of our characters’ involvement in each other’s lives, looking back at the nature of their first impressions. Youth is a turbulent time for our heroine, and she’s about to test the limits of her teacher, who’s also no easy match for her. He’s ready to instill purpose and meaning into his students’ lives, even while he’s searching for purpose himself.

 

 

 
EPISODE 1 RECAP

An ambulance speeds through the night to the emergency trauma center of the hospital. There, a woman ties her hair up in the locker room and narrates, “If you’re destined to meet a person, you will eventually. The person I’m destined to meet is here.”

The ER is packed with patients and full of action, and our narrator, YOO HYE-JUNG (Park Shin-hye) tells us that death may be a surprising thing elsewhere, but not here. The person she’s destined to meet is not surprised by death.

A gang causes a scene in the ER, and just as one of the gangsters lifts his fist to punch a trembling doctor, Hye-jung grabs his arm and effectively throws him aside. She clarifies that this is a place for patients, so the irrelevant gang members should step outside for their hyung-nim to get treated.

The injured hyung-nim (cameo by Lee Ki-woo) contends that he won’t accept treatment from a woman, but Hye-jung argues that he’s just a patient in her eyes and once again orders the gang members to go outside. They refuse and try to escort her outside, so she handles things the harder way — with force.

She flips and throws down the gangsters, single-handedly wiping out the whole gang — at one point tackling three guys at once — with her badass fighting skills. She apologizes for hurting them (and their egos, though she’s surely not sorry about that) and promises to treat their injuries. Then suddenly, the hyung-nim faints on the bench, and Hye-jung becomes more demanding. Are they going to let him die? The gang gives her approval to treat him, along with a threat if anything goes wrong, and she gets started.

Thirteen years ago. Hye-jung sits in her school office, blasting music through her earphones. The teacher smacks her for not doing as told and says that she’s getting off easy. For the sake of her father, who pleaded for her to stay in school, they’re transferring instead of expelling her.

Hye-jung collects her things and kicks the chair as she walks out, but her teacher stops her, demanding a proper salutation. Rolling her eyes, she wishes her teacher a healthy life until she paints her wall with poop. That calls for another beating, but Hye-jung grabs her teacher’s arm and reminds her that she’s not her student anymore. Her teacher predicts that Hye-jung will end up in jail, and Hye-jung warns the teacher to watch her back at night. “You’re the devil,” her teacher responds.

Hye-jung’s dad waits for her at school and warns her that he won’t be able to support her forever. Hye-jung scoffs that Dad makes it seem like he’s a good father, coming to school to beg and all.

In the car, Dad asks how Hye-jung is going to live, and she says that she’s going to live carelessly. He hits her multiple times, but Hye-jung doesn’t lose her disdainful attitude. She looks at Dad and tells him to kill her instead, just like he did to Mom. He looks at her, a little frightened, and asks why she doesn’t cry. She looks back fiercely and says, “Because my heart is already dead.”

Dad drives Hye-jung to her grandma’s place in the country and dumps her things out of the truck. He tells her that their relationship is over now, though Hye-jung insists that it was already done when he brought that woman home. That woman is her stepmom, and clearly Hye-jung doesn’t approve. Dad dumps an envelope of money on the ground before he drives off and officially cuts off ties.

After he leaves, Hye-jung breaks down in tears, admitting that she’s been waiting for the day that Dad would abandon her. Today’s that day, and she cries as she calls out for her mom.

Grandma (Kim Young-ae) sees her crying but knows to ignore it. She curses at her son for not properly greeting his mother and carries Hye-jung’s bags inside the restaurant. As Hye-jung eats, Grandma tells her that she has to behave to stay in school, but Hye-jung bluffs that she’s used to being kicked out and abandoned. Grandma shuts her up by saying that she won’t ever abandon Hye-jung and advises her to hide some parts of herself so others don’t step all over her.

Hye-jung disagrees and says that it’s better for her to reveal all and be confident in herself so that she’s not affected when others step on her. Grandma nods in agreement, to which Hye-jung mutters at how she’s the first adult to admit that Hye-jung is correct. Grandma wonders who Hye-jung has met all these years for her to say such a thing, and she wishes that Hye-jung would meet a good teacher. Hye-jung shakes her head, doubting that a good teacher exists.

As a teacher bikes into the school in the morning, he calls out JIN SEO-WOO (Lee Sung-kyung) and jokingly threatens to take away points if she doesn’t run after him. After parking his bike, he orders Seo-woo to drop off a model at the science room, and she asks why he always picks on her. She knows why, and they answer at the same time: “Just because.”

Seo-woo’s friend (also the principal’s daughter), Chun Soon-hee, carries her backpack through the hallway, and they wonder why Hong “Just Because” always picks on her. He must know that her father is the hospital director, since her mom always visits the school. Soon-hee offers to accompany her to the science room, but Seo-woo insists that she can go alone.

Teacher HONG JI-HONG (Kim Rae-won) settles down the classroom chaos and begins by gently scolding the rowdy girls for their informal dress and another student for her make-up. He reminds them of their upcoming midterm (grooaaan) and advises them to really think about what they want to do with their lives instead of mindlessly hitting the books.

Hye-jung sleeps in with her cute lil’ puppy until Grandma wakes her up to go to school. Grandma is set on going to school with her to complete the transfer process, but Hye-jung insists that she can do it alone — after all, it’s not her first time transferring. She asks Grandma for money to buy her uniform and heads off.

After school, Seo-woo gets picked up by her mother, who criticizes Seo-woo’s homeroom teacher, Ji-hong, for leaving school early without forcing the students to stay for late night studying. Seo-woo notes that he has plenty of hobbies, like going to the music store, and Mom finds it suspicious that Seo-woo would know that about Ji-hong. Does she have a crush on him? Seo-woo denies it as she flips through her notes.

Continuing her criticisms, Mom says that Ji-hong’s spot at Seoul University’s medical school should have gone to Seo-woo’s father and nags Seo-woo to fulfill her father’s dreams of going to Seoul University. Seo-woo responds with frustration, saying that it’s no easy task.

At the music store, Hye-jung browses the selection as does Ji-hong in the aisle behind her. As he asks an employee about a CD, Hye-jung slips a CD under her jacket and walks toward the exit. The owner of the store stops her and empties her bag, suspecting that she stole something. He reaches for her jacket, but Hye-jung flinches and yells at the man for falsely accusing her.

Ji-hong steps in and convinces the owner to trust her word. He claims to know students very well and helps her get off the hook. Hye-jung maintains her haughty attitude and claims that she’s not a student before walking out.

In the bathroom, Hye-jung unzips her jacket and puts the hidden CD into her bag. As she walks past Ji-hong outside, he asks if she’s happy with the outcome. He claims to have only helped her out because she’s a student, and even though she argues that she isn’t, he can see right through her act. He only gave her that chance because of her clumsy act, and Hye-jung asks why he’s bothering her now. He answers, “Just because.”

Hye-jung asks if he has some sort of Lolita complex and says that the phrase “just because” is used between lovers to explain irrational behavior. Ji-hong acknowledges her clever mind but argues right back, explaining that he doesn’t throw pearls to pigs. He uses the phrase “just because” to flaunt his intelligence to those who won’t understand him anyway. Hye-jung nods at the explanation and continues on her way.

But Ji-hong won’t let her go this time. She asks for proof of theft, so he tries to wrestle her bag out of her grip. Unwilling to get caught, Hye-jung kicks him in the shoulder, and he ends up on the ground, shocked. But he reciprocates the shock when he gets up and suggests that they should date, since he’s never had a woman treat him so roughly. Hye-jung calls him crazy and asks if he wants a criminal record, since she’s a high-schooler. Aha, he just got her to admit to being a student.

Next, Ji-hong asks her to admit to stealing the CD, which is now on the ground. Hye-jung comes clean and agrees to go back to the store to apologize. But she’s quick on her feet and tells Ji-hong to get lost before running to catch the bus.

Grandma prepares the table with side dishes and muses about how blood is thicker than water. Then, she pounds her chest and says that she hasn’t been able to go to the doctor yet. She looks around for Ji-hong, waiting for him to arrive.

A car pulls up next to Ji-hong, and the woman in the car jokingly asks for directions. She’s Ji-hong’s good friend and colleague, JO IN-JOO (Yoo Da-in), who’s now in her second year residency. They have a fun rapport, but she’s here with a more serious matter. The hospital director, Ji-hong’s father, has a vestibular schwannoma surgery today. His father didn’t tell him about the procedure, but he’s ready to head to Seoul right away.

As he tries to stuff his bike into the trunk, In-joo assures him that they have time to eat and tell Grandma that they’re going to Seoul. Ji-hong tells her to stop dropping by Grandma’s place because Grandma misunderstands their relationship. In-joo tells him that there’s nothing to misunderstand and casually proposes to him again. After six years in medical school and eight months as interns together, she argues, they’ve basically already dated so they should just get married. Ji-hong laughs off her offer and rides away on his bike.

Hye-jung ignores a call while shopping and notices a crowd of girls from the school pass by. Soon-hee is among them, and she’s bullied by the other girls in the bathroom. They only invited her to go to the club because they wanted to steal her money. Just as they find her wallet, Hye-jung walks into the bathroom in her new all-black outfit.

She continues to stand in the bathroom even when the bullies tell her to get out, so they pounce on her. Luckily, she’s no stranger to fights and easily defeats them. After kicking and slapping them in place, she takes the wallet and tells them to get lost. Soon-hee looks at her savior with eyes full of adoration.

Hye-jung walks out with the wallet and takes out half the money as the cost of saving the girl from the bathroom. Surprisingly, Soon-hee offers her all the money and calls her unni out of respect. Hye-jung knows better than to accept all the money and can tell that the girl is trying to latch onto her. She tries to shake the girl off, but she’s inadvertently got a new follower.

Ji-hong arrives at the hospital late due to traffic, and he stops right in front and remembers the proud moment shared with his father when he entered the hospital as an intern. In that moment, his father also told Ji-hong that he liked him ever since they first met. Ji-hong tries to walk away, but In-joo drags him into the building. She knew this would happen.

The surgery goes well, and the co-director of the hospital, Director Jin, meets with son JIN MYUNG-HOON (Eom Hyo-seob), also Seo-woo’s dad. Director Jin assures him of a promotion, though he’s still bitter that his son didn’t get into Seoul University. Even though they argue about when Myung-hoon will be moved out of the small-town hospital, Director Jin reminds him that they’ll inherit the hospital eventually. Director Hong only has an adopted son, and their relationship can easily be severed because they aren’t related by blood.

Ji-hong enters his father’s hospital room and nags him for undergoing a major surgery without telling him. His father didn’t want to worry him, but Ji-hong says that he’s obviously worried because he’s his son. Ji-hong warns his father not to hide things from him again, and his father agrees to do so.

At the club, school bully Mi-ra dances and asks for Soo-chul, but his friend says that he’s onto another girl. That other girl happens to be Hye-jung, and she tells SOO-CHUL (Ji-soo) that she doesn’t play with high-schoolers. He knows she’s lying and attempts to lean in for a kiss, but Hye-jung head-butts him and asks if she looks like a pawn.

She tries to pull him into a rear wrist lock, but he grabs her from behind and responds, “I don’t go easy on girls, except on my girl.” Hye-jung throws a punch at him, and he catches it, rather impressed. He offers to get punched if she agrees to be his girl, and she walks away in response.

On the dance floor, Hye-jung sees familiar faces — bully Mi-ra from the bathroom as well as the bullies from her former school. They bump into each other, and just as they approach each other to fight, one of the girls recognizes Hye-jung. They’ve got a bone to pick with her and offer a last fight as a farewell gesture.

Hye-jung kicks the old bully and taunts her to fight, if they think they can beat her. Mi-ra offers to join, but her posse tries to hold her back since they got beaten earlier. That doesn’t stop Mi-ra, and now Hye-jung is facing all her enemies, old and new.

Hye-jung dives into the fight, and though she suffers some blows, she’s able to fend for herself. It causes some real havoc in the club, as the girls start to get involved in other fights. Soon enough, the police arrive on the scene, and Hye-jung watches the chaos being forced to a halt. Then, someone grabs her hand to escort her away. It’s Soo-chul, and he takes her away with a wink.

Ji-hong meets with his sunbae KIM TAE-HO (Jang Hyun-sung) during his surgery break to thank him for taking care of his father. Tae-ho advises Ji-hong to return to the hospital and take responsibility, as he’ll surely inherit his father’s hospital, but Ji-hong claims that he enjoys his teaching job.

Tae-ho warns him about Director Jin and his son lurking around the hospital often, but Ji-hong isn’t against the power reshuffling at the hospital. He speaks like a true teacher, saying that those without power should experience power to understand it. Tae-ho shakes his head at his complicated reality, and their conversation is cut short by a phone call from the police station.

Hye-jung gets on the back of Soo-chul’s motorcycle, and they ride off with the police chasing after them. Ji-hong arrives at the police station and claims his two bully students, who cringe at the sight of their homeroom teacher.

Ji-hong takes his students out to eat and scolds them for getting involved in violence. He knows it’s no use telling them to stop fighting, so he tells them not to get caught. If they don’t get caught, it’s a personal issue. But if they get caught, it becomes a social issue, and they don’t have an adult to be liable for them. Ji-hong pays for the meal and leaves Mi-ra with a slip of paper with information she requested: her mother’s contact information.

Ji-hong arrives at Grandma’s place and asks why she’s pacing outside. Grandma excitedly reminds him that she’s living with her granddaughter now, and that’s who she’s waiting for. Speaking of the devil, a motorcycle rolls up and Hye-jung jumps off.

Grandma looks startled by Hye-jung’s appearance and company, and Soo-chul salutes before zooming off. Ji-hong looks at her, arms crossed, and she does a double take. Grandma introduces her to Ji-hong, and Hye-jung gives him a meek side bow.

Ji-hong reveals that they met at the music store and tells Grandma about the theft. Hye-jung denies it and claims that she’s meeting Ji-hong for the first time. Grandma takes her side, but Ji-hong argues that a thief can easily lie as well. Still, Grandma defends Hye-jung and scolds Ji-hong for his suspicion. How’s he going to get married with all that suspicion?

That awkward change of topic ends the conversation, and Grandma nudges Hye-jung inside. Hye-jung mutters about her bad luck with Ji-hong, who’s a teacher and also happens to live with them at Grandma’s. Grandma asks if Hye-jung bought her uniform, and she confidently states that she didn’t because she’s not going to school. Grandma asks if she’s not going to school, what is she going to do? Hye-jung says that she’ll just sell alcohol and sell her body, like Grandma used to do.

Grandma slaps her and chastises her for saying such things. She’s not living with Hye-jung so she can ruin her future. Hye-jung argues that Grandma was forced to take her in, but Grandma refutes that she asked to live with Hye-jung. She pities the life that Hye-jung’s mom suffered through because of her son, and Hye-jung becomes defensive. She yells at Grandma to watch her mouth, and Grandma tells her to do the same.

Grandma is trying to take good care of her now in hopes that she can change her life. At sixty, she’s trying to change her personality for Hye-jung. But Grandma’s tough love personality comes out, and she tells Hye-jung to live however she wants — it’s her own life.

Hye-jung storms towards her room, but she’s caught by Ji-hong, who warns her about using violence. He really hates it, so as long as she can resist the urge to be violent, they’ll get along just fine. Unable to hold in her anger, Hye-jung kicks some nearby buckets and storms into her room.

As Hye-jung sleeps, Grandma takes a long look at her granddaughter and apologizes for hitting her face. She blames her uneducated self — she doesn’t know how to channel her anger outside of hitting, yelling, and cursing. She tells Hye-jung to go to school so that she can be a good famous person, instead of a person like Grandma.

Grandma goes back to sleep, and Hye-jung opens her eyes, having heard everything. She tears up and apologizes to Grandma. Then, she hears Grandma snoring and listens close just to make sure she’s still breathing. Heh.

Hye-jung recalls good memories from when she was younger and narrates: “I realized then that when good memories and good people coincide, you want to become a better person.”

Ji-hong returns from his morning bike ride, and Grandma tells him that Hye-jung will be learning the restaurant business instead of going to school. He gives her a thumbs-up while Hye-jung pouts in her new misery. Grandma uses Hye-jung as her grocery basket, and Hye-jung trails along after her carrying giant bundles of food. After some thought, Hye-jung confirms that Grandma would be happy if she went to school. Since Grandma is putting effort into changing her personality, Hye-jung decides to put that same effort into going to school.

Grandma compliments Hye-jung (getting down the right caring phrase on her third try), and Hye-jung drops all the heavy groceries on the ground. She’s going to school. Grandma just laughs with joy.

At school, Hye-jung gets introduced to her new homeroom teacher, and of course, it’s Ji-hong. He tries to get out of it, especially since he already has a few problem students in his class, but the principal insists. Ultimately, Ji-hong takes her in.

Ji-hong brings Hye-jung into the class, and she’s recognized by the bullies and Soon-hee. As she takes a seat in the back, Ji-hong orders the bullies caught at the club to meet in the science room. They don’t let Hye-jung get away with this and accuse her of starting the whole fight, so she also gets sent there with them.

In the science room, Ji-hong tells the students that they’ll be writing apology letters for the next week, and Hye-jung rebels. She’d prefer to be hit as punishment over apology letters, and she argues that she shouldn’t be punished since this incident happened before she became a student here.

Ji-hong ponders over his options and decides to do it her way. He sends the rest of the students outside and grabs the stick. He knows that Hye-jung is asking him to do what he hates, and he complies, “Let me show you how good I am at what I hate.”

As he lifts the stick and swings it down, Hye-jung narrates, “Whether it’s good or ill fate, you never know how you’ll first meet that person.”

 
COMMENTS

Oh, I’m intrigued. Still weirded out by the student-teacher dynamic and this last scene, but I honestly think that it’ll get better. It’s interesting how the show mentions the Lolita complex (very briefly, but it does), almost as if it’s assuring us that the age gap is not being overlooked and also foreshadowing what’s to come. But with the age gap acknowledged and put aside, I really like Hye-jung and Ji-hong as their two headstrong characters. I enjoy watching them together and seeing them butt heads because they stubbornly believe what they believe.

Hye-jung is not super likable quiet yet, but I’m invested in her character because she has so much potential for growth. Though she’s full of imperfections and a troubling immoral compass, she’s not completely beyond redemption. I love her blasé attitude and stark perspective on reality because she keeps it real, but I also hate it because she only keeps digging for rock bottom. More than her relationship with Ji-hong, I see her relationship with Grandma being a major impetus for change in her life, as we’ve already seen with her decision to attend school. Hye-jung is overly realistic with her circumstance and tries to shield herself from further harm by wallowing in her inevitable failures, but Grandma is there to prove her wrong. Grandma’s at her side to push her to try and overcome her misfortunes, even though it may take her three tries to get the tough out of her tough love. Hye-jung is much more like Grandma than she realizes, and I love that she’s the one adult that Hye-jung trusts in her life. I absolutely love Grandma and know she’ll be central to both Hye-jung and Ji-hong’s lives.

I think this may be my favorite character that Park Shin-hye has done yet, and it might have to do with the novelty of the character. You don’t see too many badass female heroines, especially ones who fight like that. It’s rare to have such a bold female character, let alone have Park Shin-hye play her. I’ve never really doubted her ability to act, but she always seemed to choose the same sort of characters that mainly utilized her pretty crying and artificially squeaky voice. She’s channeling some other dimensions of her acting into this role, and I certainly approve of her portrayal of the character so far. I like the feistiness, and I hope we get to see more badassery throughout the drama, even if it’s not via a physical fight. Although, I wish I could look as cool as her in a fight.

We’ve got a lot of side character action going on, but I like their small additions to the story. We’ve got slimeball Ji-soo and honest friend Yoo Da-in, and they’re not even the “main” second leads that emerge later on in the doctor phase of this drama. It’s definitely bigger than a triangle and more complicated than a hexagon, but I’m not too worried about keeping track of it all. They seem more like catalysts than obstacles to the story — let’s just hope it stays that way.

And of course, we can’t forget to discuss the forever perfect oppa Kim Rae-won as Ji-hong. He’s great for this role, but also, he’s great in any role, really. It’s just a matter of compatibility with the cast, and it’s looking pretty good to me. I think his character arc is secondary to Hye-jung’s growth, but I’m interested in understanding his motivations. We’re not told what caused his sudden change of heart to become a teacher, but the trauma still lingers. It’s a trauma that’s impactful enough to hold him back from dutifully taking on the obligations of being his father’s son at the hospital. And based on their interactions, it seems like Ji-hong really tries to be a supportive and reliable son.

As pompous as he sounds, I do like Ji-hong in academia and wouldn’t mind keeping him there for longer. He’s full of moral obligation to teach his students the path to their own success, and that’s what you want in a good teacher. He’s also got the right attitude and amusing tone of voice when speaking about the relativity and complexities of reality. He sounds infuriatingly professor-like, but I adore it. Of course, I’m sure to be enamored of his doctor side when he gets there, so I guess I just get the best of both worlds. I couldn’t really tell you what about Ji-hong (or maybe Kim Rae-won) is so mesmerizing, but I like him. Just because.

ok, sorry if i've done something bad, like breaking a news or whatsoever, but i totally fell for this dorama at the first sight and i can't wait for the 3rd episode since i have an exam at the release date, and this is what an examinee like me doing in an exam's season.. T_T

so i just really want to say that, in that fire scene, one of them will die, so PSH need to take her place, and what was the deal, i mean they have totally different face.. OMGGGG i cannot stop thinking.. lol 

SOrry Again for those who think i sort of break some rules or whatnot.. teheeee

You didn't beak any rules. No one dies this is just their story from the past. They all meet up in the present at the hospital

To be honest, those people saying this is a teacher-student love. I didn't once see Ji Hong looking at Hye Jung like that. He is close to her, was watching over her, trying to be her mentor. On the surface, to the outsider that may look inappropriate which is what happened with SW. But we viewers actually had access to their moments not just on surface level so while I get why the girls reacted the way they reacted, it still wasn't HJ or JH's direct fault. JH taking responsibility for this was the right thing to do. He was the more mature one from both of them, he should've at least for the sake of HJ kept line drawn for the outsiders so that they can't point fingers at her. He was happy around her and had no malice or feelings of love for her so he just let it be which is where the chaos began. They already knew each other, are comfortable with each other so there interactions were harmless to them but to the others well they saw more into it than they should.

Well said. I didn't see any angsty looks of longing or any inappropriate behavior either. If you think about it Seo Woo was the one w/inappropriate thoughts about her teacher. I agree JH should have paid more attention to what other people would think. It's a shame people are so ready to condemn with out checking the facts and always think the worst..

Park Shin Hye as Yoo Hye Jung

She's had a rough life. Of course, her thug-like behavior doesn't make it easy for anyone to tame the shrew. She's been dropped off at grandma's, and hopefully the elder will succeed where her father failed.

Kim Rae Won as Hong Ji Hong

Her new teacher has his work cut out him. His job (though he doesn't know it yet) is to take this intransigent teen and make a doctor out of her. He's ideal, in a way, as he was a doctor himself, and his ailing dad is the president of the local hospital.

Kim Young Ae as Mal Soon, Hye Jung's grandmother

It falls to Mal Soon to try and get Hye Jung to shape up. Good luck with that. She used to be on the wrong side of the tracks herself -- a former prostitute. She knows what road Hye Jung's heading down.

Jang Hae Gyun as Yoo Min Ho - Hye Jung's father

He's given up, though according to Hye Jung he's not been a great father. After she gets expelled (despite his begging for more chances), he knows his last hope is Grandma. I'm willing to bet we won't see much of him anymore.

Obviously there's more to it, but that can wait. There are fistfights, battles with two sets of girl gangsters, underage drinking, and the teacher's initial attempts to set this girl on the right path. There is a part at the beginning which obviously features her as the tough-as-nails doctor who opens a can of whoop-richard simmons on a bunch of thugs. I wonder if this flash-forward will be a regular thing?

First thoughts? This thing is action-packed. When she's not throwing punches, she's giving a merciless tongue-lashing to whoever's unlucky enough to encounter her. And the teacher?  To say he's unconventional is understating the point. When she insists she's not a student, he aggressively demands they date. Which gets her upset enough to admit that she is a student, natch -- his plan all along.

It's hilarious and exciting all at once. Now I literally can't wait for the next episode -- and that's tonight! Until next time, my readers

I absolute agree with her. That is the reason why , me a grown woman mother and wife, is here in this thread and on Shin Hye's personal thread supporting her. That is the strong vibe I get from her. Praying hard for her continuous success and for the success of this wonderful drama Doctors.

This is actually the first drama I'm watching that is still airing. All the others I've watched (60+) I've bingewatched but I decided to go for Doctors as my "virgin" semi-live watch lol

I'm so glad I did! First off I get to talk about this stuff while it's happening with all of you guys (which ofcourse is AMAZING AND FUN! :D) but secondly I wouldn't have wanted to miss this drama! I seriously love it  

Sorry for the cut! 

 

@CamelKnight, Hi! Really this is your first time watching a drama that is airing right now? Good for you! But I need to tell you that in many occasions it could be the worst thing to do. Why? It can happen that after being months watching the drama, the end turns out to be a disaster. I tell you from my experience. After spending so many tantrums, I decided that I would not see any drama airing at this time... Two years ago, we reunite here, in Soompi, to discuss the drama 'One Well-Raised Daughter', every day (from Monday to Friday), at the same time that was airing (for me, 6:30 in the morning). Was awful!, because the second male lead was like the first male lead. All the romance was with him! And our 'tiramisu' dessert (Lee Tae Kon) was like an extra.  The drama has 122 episodes and she was in love with the other guy 121 episodes and a half. In the last 15 minutes it was that she realized that she loved the male lead and even, she NEVER gave him a kiss!  Can you believe that? I said, ENOUGH! 

But now, this two make me break my promise...  They are so good that I know that I need to watch the drama at the same time that it's airing. No matter if I suffer.  I love the two of them (I'm a KRW fan from 'The Attic Cat' and My Little Bride time, and PSH fan from You're Beautiful). I never thought in this pairing for a drama but they make the best selection, because they are amazing together. I'm in love with this pairing!  It really gives me the impression that it will be an excellent drama and this couple will become one of my favorite pairs of K-drama. So I venture to watch it while airing. So, I see you around! 

@valsava, was one of the tiramisu fan. Hi!, @valsava Nice to see you!
