What if in 2nd Season, Our Jang Winter outgrew her affection to him and became bored in her relationship with Dr Garden? 

 

Ik Jun said Gyeo Ul had this fantasy in Dr Garden. He is reminding her about his character. I bet next season is about Dr Garden conflicted feelings in tending patients and tending to girlfriend.

 

I heard many doctors relationship doesnt work well with people outside of hospital because doctor who cares too much abt patient didnt have time for his loved ones.

 

I can feel that writer makes us feel happy with the development of Winter Garden.. and then make them have a rocky start in the relationship. Yhis foreboding sense.. is it the Abuser Dad, is it relationship struggle or is it overempathize Garden will make it hard for Winter? 

 

What I meant is like

Imagine that

``` Gyeo Ul and JeongWon makes plan for a dinner date. They emptied out their schedule for the weekend. They have postponed the date several times already and never had the time to spend together outside hospital but instead PICU or OR. But then JeongWon had ER call and have to abandon Gyeo Ul from their date. And eventually this habit repeated again and again over time. Gyeo Ul felt not appreciated. She understood JWon love for his patients but soon struggle to find her place inside JWon heart. She will be like "Am I not important to you as well". It will be a real pain for Gyeo-ul ```

 

I said this, in my experience "a 1st timer in dating experience will have a hard time with her/his date if the opposite date could not make it work for both of them "

 

Knowing the writer-pd, they might go on the route of first time dating crisis added with mid-life dating crisis. Plus, with the character of JWon who is overthinking like that..  I never dare to. 

 

I can sense a foreboding danger to their relationship.

This will not happen. Hahaha. First of all Jang Gyeo ul is the one who is going to be very busy with her fourth year of residency. And she doesn't look like the type who would whine because they didnt go on many dates like other couples. She will be happy as long as he is with her. 

 

I have been thinking of what other potential problems may arise in their relationship. We have 2 more seasons, I don't think it will be all rainbows and unicorns from here....It has to be some sort of external conflict. I can't see them falling apart because of silly fights given how much they have gone through to be with each other. She is one of the main reason he gave up on his lifelong dream. So I'm sure that he will treasure her so much and goes out of his way to make 

things easier for her. Plus they have a huge age difference, which means they won't have any ego clashes. 

 

Some were discussing about how he might become Yulje's chairman one day. When he take on a bigger responsibilty, maybe that will cause some sort of conflict between them. Idk. I cant think of anything that will cause friction between them. LOL. I can only picture them as being lovey dovey with each other all the time. LOL. 

 

@cdew Wonderful. I was expecting him to say something during the confession scene....even just calling out her name out loud ...Gyeo ul-ah. Hahahaha. But it makes sense now. He is a man of action. Now that I think about it, if he had said something, it would have ruined the atmosphere. That scene was perfect as it is.

totally get Gyeo ul. My only question is why did they add that when we were intently waiting for Jeong won's pov. It could have been shown then and there when Ikjun asked her first. Why hide it like it's some big secret and reveal it at

So what was it really?? JeongWon POV flashback or Gyeo Ul POV flash back.. or both of them??

No, I was overthinking. With Chilbong, Junghwan and the past Jehyuk.. i dont know man. I gonna hate the writer if they clashed.

It's Gyeo Ul's pov. It's the flashback to when Ikjun asked her from when she started liking JW.

Since they are both doctors, I don't think we need worry much about that 

Both of them know their daily life as doctors are busy as it is

Plus, they often work together..so they can spend time and can have small date during their breaks

I think it will be sweet memories for them to look back once they get married

 

I am more worried with their characters' difference

they are so different, a bit extreme..1 is so overly sensitive, and the other more into rational thinking

They will be great partners in life if they can balance each other

BUT..if they can't, they will fight a lot

Yes! The scene was perfect as it is. 

As how men and women are so different in that regard; women bond over talks, men bond over shared activities. 

Jeongwon was replying with actions. 

 

I really like how the writer does not make unrealistic movie character, but they really make these characters so realistic in that regard. I mean, there are drama characters that make women fall head over heels. but in reality, a lot of love story are not always like that. In reality, somehow there are things left unsaid.

 

There are slow burn romance and there are people who can't always confess ASAP, because in reality.... life as a doctor is a very busy life indeed.

 

I can't wait to see the next season, it would be fun seeing them dating in secret/Jeongwon being all aegyo.

Spoiler

 

You guys post some really good insights that I enjoy lurking on the thread so much :wub:

 

I am GLAD Ikjun finally confessed before Songhwa could shoot him down like what happened to Chihong. I have a feeling Ikjun's confession is something Songhwa wants to hear coming straight out of Ikjun's mouth after two almost-confession attempts. Perhaps she didn't expect Ikjun would do it on the day he left for Spain, but she knew it would come eventually. Unlike what Chihong did, Ikjun's confession came in at the perfect time, perfect place, and it was perfectly phrased. I'm sure someone here has said the things I'm about to say but here we go...

  • Perfect time. The confession didn't come out of nowhere. Songhwa is a person who always draws a certain line in any form of relationship she has with people around her. She clearly said she only wants to be friends with Seokhyung and have a mentor-mentee relationship with Chihong (that he frustratingly crossed a few times). After Ikjun's divorce, a certain amount of comfort was rebuilt between Ikjun and Songhwa, hints were also dropped, enough for the relationship line to get blurry, slowly but surely and subconsciously. In my opinion, it's not completely Ikjun's feelings/confession that made Songhwa speechless, it's the thought, "We have always been friends. For 20 years. Now what?" plus her own inability to firmly say she only wants to be friends with Ikjun.
    Ikjun, too, would not have confessed if he didn't know the detailed development of Gyeoul's feelings towards Jeongwon, Minha's confession to Seokhyung, and Seokmin's obvious crush on Seonbin. Their boldness and Songhwa's decision to move to Sokcho must've encouraged Ikjun to take the now or never approach.
  • Perfect place. After the two of them can spend time comfortably without other people's presence, Ikjun confessed at a very personal place: Songhwa's house (that we previously never see IIRC?) and away from places they frequent. Despite being out of his comfort zone, this signifies how Ikjun wants the confession to be taken and his feelings to be acknowledged: personally and seriously. Having that in mind, he also wants Songhwa to take her time in Sokcho if she needs to.
  • Perfect phrase. The way Ikjun framed his confession as someone asking for an advice is such a pro move that I can applaud him for. If Ikjun confessed so directly by saying something like "Songhwa, I've liked you for awhile." Songhwa would not have the obligation to treat it like an advice. You know when you feel it's easier to give others advice than to yourself? If Songhwa is going to answer it like an advice, she too, would have to follow what she says. It's definitely a dilemma for Songhwa, but Ikjun intentionally wants Songhwa's thoughts to be involved.

 

Considering Rosa-Jongsoo parallel and Songhwa's previous advice, here's what I think Songhwa's early S2 response would be:

  • Rosa-Jongsoo parallel ep. 10. "If you can't find a solution no matter how hard you rack your brain, avoid the problem for now. If you avoid the problem for as long as possible, things could change with time. Oftentime that's what happens. So for now, give him whatever excuse you can think of and just avoid him." ---> this will be overturned later because Songhwa and Ikjun don't want to be another Rosa-Jongsoo.
  • Seokhyung and Songhwa ep. 11
    Seokhyung: Songhwa, I don't know how I'm feeling. I don't know if I'm sad or relieved. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel. They are my feelings, but I can't put a finger on it. And I don't know what kind of a face I should put on.
    Songhwa: Then just don't do anything.

Prove me wrong, writer-nim!!! :lol:

 

 

Extra thought: I find it really cute that outside the hospital, only Ikjun and Songhwa seem to be related to Yoonbok and Hongdo. Mane and Mone are YB and HD's cousins whereas Songhwa goes to the same church as them (they also study medicine because of Songhwa!)

 

 

 

I love your insight about Ikjun confession. Both Gangwondo boys are expert in doing fluttering confession. U right that his confession was highly inspired by his residents buddies lovelife. The problem with Ikjun is that Song Hwa is a woman who don't want to be pursued, at least for now, coz she has other priorities. I agree that she use Jongsoo avoidance tactic (moving to Sokcho, out of sight out of mind). That's why Ikjun go extra miles to craft perfect confession, so even if he is out sight, he is not out of mind. Paraphasing his confession as if he was a client of Song Salon, looking for advice, was very clever move.

 

She will stay still for awhile, do nothing. Something need to happen to shake this avoid-do nothing status quo. I don't know what it will be, I'll trust Lee to suprise me. But I am dying to know Song Hwa three older brothers, if they appear in Season 2, I think they may be play some part in this matter.

 

Don't be a lurker no more @enchantedyears. I love ur writing. I want to know ur opinion about other pairing.

If this happened, Iwould rather have a new guy from Sokcho woo her successfully in Season 2

 

Just saying 

@ryanallright

if they go that way ( I doubt it) can they please bring Lee Kyu-Hyung?

is the actor who played Loony in PP

He is a musical performer also like most of the cast in HP and he can play excellent all kind of genres.

I want so much to see him playing with JJS for a pretty long time and HP with multiple seasons gives me hope that maybe I will see it happen .

 

On another note I am still living under the spell of the last 13 minutes of the episode 12. And because that feeling is so good I do not pay attention in some  comments that try to downgrade these 13 min because basically the receiver of the kiss is not the person they wanted or see.

edit: So I'm really curious about the pediatric surgeon in South Korea, and I found an abstract about it from a 2015 journal. They wrote, "Total number of PICU beds in Korea was 113. The ratio of the number of PICU beds to the number of children was 1:77,460 in Korea and this ratio is lower than that of other developed countries." The conclusion is,

 

"There is a considerable shortage of PICU beds compared to those in developed countries. In addition, the proportion of PICUs with PCC (Pediatric Critical Care) specialists is much lower than those in the US and European countries.

 

 

 I hope Jang Gyeo-ul will do her fellowship in Yulje under Ahn Jeong Won. 

 

2 years of diploma

5 years of med school

1 year of intern (rotation every department)

4 years of residency (PGY-1 Choose 1st dept withinn 6 months, if not liking it, chnage in tri semester)

PGY-2 and PGY-3 Residency

PGY-4 Chief, More responsibility and last 3 or 6 months is final hurdle for Board Exam

 

1 or 2 year of fellowship

 

Add 2 more years to go for associate professor (doing pHD)

and as someone mention in twitter it was right, the song after geul wol confessions and when jeong won start to hold her head with those puppy eyes..the bgm it same as reply 1988 during bora confessions that she miss sung wo..

it will be great if the writer show how jeong won as husband first as his character always parallel with jung hwan character...and ik jun will tease him so much when he make annoucement to get married, cause his stubbornness before this who dont believe in dating etc

If you are a woman, who do you choose? the Seoul-chaebol boys: Jeong Won & Seok Hyung or Gangwondo Boys: Ikjun and Jungwan.

 

Gangwondo boys were bold, if they already make a decision, they were willing to travel far, to pursue the woman they love. They will confess first, with a swoony fluttering move. If we are the kind of woman who want to be pursued, they are our type/style. But in the other hand, Gangwondo boys have many gorgeous exes, we must learn to lived with that (LOL). Hey I suspect Lee did have soft spot for "country-bumpkin" boys, I use this term with endearment, remember reply1994 boys. They stay in boarding home far from home during Uni, so they were more resilient.

 

Seoul-chaebol boys have inheritances (a.k.a rich). Only have one exes/even virgin. But their upbringing and family circumstances make them carry a lot of emotional baggages. We as a woman must confess first. Oh I forgot, prepared to be rejected first. If you can play the mom card: get his mum approval first, maybe you can get a push or an insider info. Then proceed to confess again.

 

Regardless background, all of them are handsome, smart, with sucessful career. Oh, not to forget all can sing and play musical instrument. So girls, who is your style?

 

There is nothing wrong being a woman who want to be pursued. That's my style, I myself never confess first. But if we loves certain type of man, the only way to make it work is to confess first. So I appreciate Deok Sun who need to be pursued. On the other hand I admire Ji Ho, Najung, and Shiwon, who were such a brave gals that confess first. So I get why to win the heart of Seoul-Chaebol boys pair, we need a pair of badass at heart, who are part of a fierce fandom (Army). It's ironic that Iksun who is a soldier, a real Army, is the one with fragile heart due to the love trauma (she will never pursue first). Ah the meta. Luckily she got the bold Gangwondo boy.

 

Now what poor Mina gotta do is to play the mom card. I think they'll hit off well. Both are fashionable woman. Imagine them bonding with shopping together. This card is important coz the ex wife will come to the equation. Fighting Bear Mina girl!

 

i hope that mama bear will meet minha in gangwon-do, it was mentioned before that seokhyeong wants to bring his mom there AND minha's family owns a sort of small resort there and imagine meeting the family there

Rewatching HP and with out the stress how the story will unfold for Wintergarden  I noticed things that could not see before.

1.The " pick me pick me" line  from IJ to GU back then even though I love IJ put me in thoughts .

Was it an indication for further development in IJ/GU relation?

Watching now the episode I can see clearly why I translated wrong.

I saw the scene alone and did not watch it as a whole with what happened after.

What happened after the "pick me pick me " funny line was that uri GU gave her answer to IJ directly and on spot because that is her personality.

She just get up and went to the door because she received a call .

that indicates a clear No to the pick me pick me.

She was untouched with all his efforts to gain her likeness .

Humidifier, food, coffee nothing worked. He  saw it too so gave up and try other method to make her choose his surgeries.Lol start using JWon .

2.I find it very amusing that JWon shares appartment ,office  with JWan the direct , blunt professor and we see in his personal life once again is drawn by the female JWan which is uri GU.The direct and blunt dr. Jang who under his scolding she shows improvement in her bedside manners.One of the  reasons I love this couple is how the complete each other.

3.Rewatching episode 2 I can see and compare the moments JWon lies .

He lies to Dr. Bong that he does not know Daddy long legs and he lied before that dr.Jang does not suit him or per NFlix "is not his cup of tea".

Knowing JWon lies or better hides what he considers important to him I start to believe he started paying attention to GU before the maggot scene.

Maybe he did it for negative reasons(? we ll see) but still that means he was not indifferent to her .

Maggot scene changed his whole perspective for her and made me a shipper.:P

The moment that stood out to me in the JWon and Jang kiss scene was the very beginning, when JWon first smooth Jangs hair. 

 

Jang's hair always looked messy and that is clearly a choice on the part of the stylist and director creating Jang's aesthetics. There were so many times during the drama where there would be the urge to restrain her hair or fix it in some way.  And while it might be a projection on my part, by first smoothing Jang's hair, then caressing her face, it gave me the sense that JWon always wanted to fix her hair, but had to restrain that impulse.
