Doctor Stranger Ep8 Review

Aaand we're back with the signature edginess and pace. Things are looking up in the darkness I'd been left in by the show. Which is good, because even if by the 8th episode they hadn't given a slight idea of what exactly is going on, it would have been a bummer. Too much mystery destroys the interest as well. BUT, our Show is smart, it didn't make that mistake. We now have the basic idea about all the sub-plots as well as the main plot.

So after 2 weeks of thinking if Seung Hee is Jae Hee and re-thinking that no they're different people, to finally being sure that Seung Hee IS Jae Hee after all. Not that it's been made obvious but you can see the hints. And imo, Park Hoon knows its her but is playing along with her deceit until she comes clean herself. It's better to stay by her side letting her think she fooled him rather than run away from him thinking she exposed her secret. Win-win?

Apparently not for Soo Hyun who is unintentionally heading in the direction of Park Hoon. I can see that, but unfortunately Hae Joon can see that too, which is not good. And now that we know the strong reasons he has behind his obsession with Myun Woo, he's a force to be reckoned with. I don't think he'll let Park Hoon get in his way, now that even the Director has made it clear that he must take care of the 'invader' in his castle. If I were Park Hoon, I'd sleep with one eye open.

The fog obscuring the actual plot here has been lifted a bit and we can catch a glimpse or at most take a probable guess at it. Everything seems to come back to Premier Jang and his heart surgery. But is that all? Of course there must be something more to it. I hope there is. The show's handling the mystery well, its keeping me interested.

More revelations in the next episode, can't wait!
