Doctor Stranger’s new mishmash of a preview
by javabeans
A new Doctor Stranger teaser is out!
…and to be quite honest, I don’t know that I get it. It’s certainly a… diverse preview — we start out with a light, cheeky vibe as Lee Jong-seok bickers with a disdainful Kang So-ra, then calls a bunch of doctors quacks. Then things get serious on the medical front as Park Hae-jin wonders how they called in a North Korean refugee for this procedure, turning dire (and operatic?) as he offers a woman — Jin Se-yeon, it looks like — a pill that he warns will make her heart stop momentarily.
Then, shower angst, some running, and “One man’s long journey seeking love.”
I am totally looking forward to this drama and its interesting mix of love, medicine, and espionage, but let’s be honest — this preview is a bit of a hot mess. Well on the upside, the show has still got a few weeks to clean up its rough patches before its premiere, which is on May 5. Doctor Stranger will be a Monday-Tuesday drama following God’s Gift – 14 Days.

I hope all the actor can give us good acting coz the storyline seems heavy and deep in emotion, hopefully all of them can deliver.

It is admittedly confusing but I'm in this because of Lee Jong-seok, for better or for worse. What a myriad of expressions this guy has. Always a pleasure to see him bring a character to life.

Lee Jong-suk looks like a teen playing doctor-doctor. But I'm still into the premise; it looks really promising and different even if that promo is seriouslu bipolar.
P.s. Is it just me or Kang Sora looks like a younger version Kim Tae-hee here?

I think the third teaser makes more sense - or makes it less of a hot mess - if you watch the first and second teasers.

I hate to nitpick but I could have sworn that I saw you say the same thing already on the previous thread(s). I believe you've made your intention of not watching this drama pretty clear already. I don't know what you're trying to accomplish by repeating the same sentiment over again.

There's more of Kang Sora in this preview than JSY, so that must be a good sign, right...

Not that KSR becoming the lead will change anything, but for JSY's sake I hope it had been just the case because people won't stop whining about it. Had this drama been centered on a female protagonist, then it would be a much legitimate request. But JSY being the 'lead' just means that she is the primary 'love interest'. Interchanging them will hardly affect anything. I think people should be thankful though that KSR got a role that is within her comfort zone, not that I don't think she has enough range to play something differently, but this is a safe pick for her.

What is the range of JSY then when she's weaker than KSR, what the Producer was really thinking while casting her for a double role when she can't handle ONE?

Once upon a time this role was offered to Park Min Young too. So acting range doesn't seem really to be the concern here. Speaking of which, I am curious whether the same sentiment would have been true had PMY accepted the role.

I have a feeling its gonna be a emotional story arc like city hunter, and something in my gut says this is gonna be good
Maybe that is just my optimism talking !

When the preview and/or the poster are not appealing, usually the drama is good.
Remember I Hear Your Voice and You From Another Star.
I so want to watch this drama, but I'm allergic to Jin Se Yeon. *dilemma*

So . . . at least one of Jin Se-Yeon's characters is going to die in the opening episode? Meaning the other one will die somewhere around Episode 19?

The hair is driving me crazy. In no previews has LJS ever had a hairstyle that says I am from North Korea. It bugs me to no end. I want realistic characters, but if they can't get the hair right what faith should I have in the rest.

you realize that not every single north korean has the hairstyle of kim jong eun and that it's not as closed off to modern culture as you'd think it would?

I got a glimpse of naked abs and didn't bother to judge for quality from then on.
Screaming shower scene is a new one.

I'd advocate for the female lead getting equal time on shower scenes, but Jin Se-Yeon would probably die doing that, as well.

I really hope PD Jin Hyuk has made this less of a mess than it looks, because I'm laughing at that shower scene angst already.
Now Triangle needs to drop its teasers, too.

If Doctor Stranger premiers on May 5... Doesn't God's Gift end this week though? Or was I mistaken and we still have one week to go before the finale?

God's Gift only has 16 episode which means episode 15 & 16(final) will air this week.

I really wanted to watch this drama bc of Kang Sora but I seriously cannot stand Jin Seyeon's acting. I kind of liked her in Daddy's Girls but she was annoying in Bridal Mask and ever since than I cannot watch her dramas. I'm lowkey sad bc I really love Kang Sora and I want to see her acting in a melodrama. Stuck :(

Lee Jong-seok face is so unnatural and his new nose is just a disaster. Why can’t people stay away from plastic surgeries?

Park Hae-jin looks yummy. Lee Jeong-seok looks yummy. And the universe is excellent! Never mind Jin Se-yeon, though I am giving her a chance. And I hope Kand So-ra redeems herself from the absurdity that was called Dream High 2.
