too suddenly..

Yes, it all ended too suddely - I mean we got the main answers about the main characters.. and the last scene was cute.

But there were so many extra questions which were unanswered - like how will Seung Yeon survive the big scandal.. I mean we just have to guess that In Yeon will clear it up and quit being singer and Woo Hyun will survive with his offer and Seung Yeon will be also fine - and they end up being happily together ??

What about the President and the Team Leader?? Will Team Leader leave the country ??

Even though all this was unclear - there was something I liked about this ending.. somehow.. still it sure wasn't that ending that has everything!!

Why am I laughing when it is supposed to be a serious drama?

I'm not expecting much since the cast are composed of part of halyus who can not act decently (ofcourse w/ the exception of LBS and the other girl who was in Dong Yi). So I'm just watching this out of curiosity on how will they adapt this drama and very much intrigued by the sexiness of Mr. Towel Boy and the beautiful Jeje. So far.. I'm not very hooked yet. But I'm cringing w/ Jeje's scene. His sageuk voice is unimaginable and there are a lot of short-comings on his acting!







It's still episode 1 though so I'm giving it a few more episodes before I finally drop it and I think I might stick with this coz of the laugh Jeje is giving me!

brothers that have a love/hate relationship

What is with me watching dramas with gross brain surgeries today? I started watching Time Slip Dr. Jin today and picked this drama as my old drama to watch in between the new dramas I watch without knowing that I would have to endure more brain surgery.

This episode starts with a woman ill on a plane and she is saved by Seon Woo/Hyun Joon who is on the flight from America. We see Cho In/Ji Sub riding a motorcycle with a kid in front of him. At the hospital Young Ji/Ji Min is handling the ER. Cho In brings a panhandler kid into the ER to be treated and says he will pay for it. From the conversation it is obvious that this isn't the first time he has done something like that. Yougn Ji needs a surgeon for a patient but isn't sure Cho In can do it because he has drank a little.



PAUSE EVERYTHING...So Ji Sub is naked sobering up. That is right...I wrote naked!!! Even if this intire drama sucks, it is worth the watch for that alone. I'm giving this episode a 10 for that alone.



We then see Seon Woo in the middle of brain surgery while being watched by other doctors, nurses, and journalists from an observation room. Then Cho In begins the same surgery on a man in the next operating room. Apparently he has some complications but everything works out.



Seon Woo who has been away for 7 years pays his respects to his father who is in a hospital bed unconscience with brain tumors. Then the brothers finally talk to each other and embrace. They both go to see their father. I think that Cho In must be illegitimate, because when Seon Woo's mother walks in on them she is mean to Cho In then her conversation with Seon Woo implies that Cho In is the father's favorite.



The next day at the hospital while the brothers are checkin on patients they have a conversation that brings me to believe that they don't agree on surgical procedures.



Seo Yeon who is a friend of the brothers since childhood when she was sick with heart problems has a concert and invites the brothers to it. I guess that Seon Woo was in love with her but in his absence she had fallen for Cho In. She tells Cho In that she loves him at the start of her concert and Seon Woo looks devistated. Seon Yeon and Cho In exchange rings and a kiss. Too sweet!!!



Then we are back to the hospital where there is a board meeting. From what I can tell Seon Woo's mom wants to build a Neuro Medical Center while the people against her want to build an Emergancy Medical Center. It seems there father was set on saving lives regardless of money but their mother is looking at the bottom line.



The brothers have a conversation on how to operate on their father and disagree on the method. Seon Woo ends up sending Cho In to China to see the procedure done, but I think it is really just to get him out of his way while they contol the board meeting.



In China Young Ji who works as a tour guide for Koreans is asked by some thugs hired by Seon Woo's mother to watch Cho In.



It ends with Young Ji and Cho In meeting at the airport.

off to a good start

This is not a show for the squeamish. It is totally gross. I can say one thing...no one can say this drama started out slow. It was one thing after another.



First Dr. Jin wakes up in the middle or nowhere presumably back in time and stumbles onto a fight, gets chased, almost dies from falling off a cliff, then passes out.

We then see him in the present time operating on someone that has a fetus in his head??? Totally weird. They put the fetus in a bottle.

He then has a sweet interaction with apparent long term girlfriend Mi Na. The next day he has a fight with Mi Na over a patient that ends up dead. Mi Na is so upset as she drives away that she gets into a car accident that leaves her needing surgery wich Dr. Jin performs. (that is sketchy, because I don't think they let close family and freinds operate) Anyway, she ends up in a coma.

The whole time he is operating he hears a voice in his head that causes him problems saying he needs to go back. The patient that had the fetus in his head wakes up, romes around the hospital getting medical supplies and takes the fetus. He meats the guy on the rooftop and struggles with him then ends up jumping to catch the fetus and flies off the roof into a previous time period. All of that happens in the first 30 minutes of the show.



Dr. Jin wakes up and starts following the man that saved him from falling off the cliff and asks enough questions to figure out what year it is.

There is a bounty put out for him. The man that saved him is Lee Ha Eung. He is taking him to get the reward when they run into some thugs.I think Lee Jae Yong that I just saw on The Equator Man is playing the thug boss. Anyway, he saves the thug boss's life and the guy that was going to turn him in starts to help him. Ha Eung realizes that Dr Jin would never kill anyone and is not part of the gang that the authorities suspect him to be.

Dr Jin then sees a girl that looks like Mi Na named Young Rae. He follows her but loses her only to see her later when he finds her brother hurt in the streets.

There...now if that isn't an action packed episode, then I don't know what is.

Time Slip Dr. Jin

First of all, I'll tell you I'm a Jaejoong fan..... You can face this as a biased review, but I hope not :P



This is my second time writing it.. because I was not familiar to review episodes, so I lost the review T.T



Anyway... the drama starts with Dr. Jin in Josean Era. After walking a bit, he bumps into a war... He thinks they're shooting a movie, at least when Kyung Tak appears and starts shooting people.... he sees a guy who was trying to kill him fall beside him, and after a while he found out that the blood wasn't fake.

When Kyung Tak approaches Jin, he makes him fall and runs... After it, the plot does a flashback to the present 2012 and show us his powerful skills as a doctor and beautiful romance with his girlfriend.



I honestly loved the interaction between those two. I think Seung Hun is a great actor, and even though I don't really like MinYoung I have to admit that she performed it without flaws. It made me wish that the romance was in the present... lol



They keep showing us the kind of guy Dr. Jin is, and how he is always looking for perfection. He doesn't admit any fails, however he also shows a side of him that's a bit harsh with patients.... That's when he and his girlfriend argues and everything is turned upside down.



Somehow this reminds me of Rooftop Prince, in a sense that it had somehow a mistery to solve. Not something as huge as in RTP, but exactly the reason why he was brought to the past and what was that thing (baby?) that brought him... Or the voices that he heard before... or the man who was trying to jump or make the bottle with that thing/baby fall....



There was a confusing matter, because they showed some flashbacks and repeated them... there was a bit confusing, it didn't have a chronological order...



In a matter of minutes, the flashback ends and the Josean era starts again. Having to disguise himself not to be caught by the guards of Kyung Tak, he hides his face....

At the end of the episode, he sees a guy hurt and brings him to his house with a help of a man. Then he sees that the guy is the brother of his girlfriend of the past.... The episode finishes there, making us think of her last words "Don't worry, Jin. I'll come back".



Overall this drama seems promising... The only thing I dislike is having 24 episodes... for a drama like this, it doesn't seem that appealing since I don't get the main point of the story... I just hope it doesn't drag a lot...
