Until recently, my colleagues said that I should watch Doctors because the storyline is different from the others. I did try the first episodes and I could say it's a breakthrough for Park Shin Hye in her acting career to take on such role, such character which makes me falling in love with her.
In episode 1, 2 and 3, Doctors only talk about the childhood of Yoo Hye Jung (played by Park Shin Hye), Jin Seo Woo (played by Lee Sung Kyung) and their teacher Hong Ji Hong (played by Kim Rae Won). Due to many childhood scars, Hye Jung keeps her heart closed towards other people. She is left with her father and stepmother who doesn't even bother to take care of her. With her IQ of 156, she enrols to many school but there is not even one who would want to accept her because of her attitude problems. In the end, her grandma who is almost 65 years old want to take her in to change her attitude. But she only knows that her father abandoned her and didn't want to take care of her anymore. In the first day of school, her grandma told her to go directly to school and but school uniform but Hye Jung ended up going to a night club, fought with another teenager, stole a CD in the music store and met with her future teacher, Hong Ji Hong. Although she didn't say the truth, Ji Hong knew that Hye Jung did stole the CD and asked her to politely return to the music store, apologized and admitted what she did is wrong. Unfortunately, with her martial arts technique, she dozed him off and at that point, as a popular teacher among students with may girls fangirl-ing him, he was amazed by Hye Jung's action and attracted towards her.
After going back to her grandma's home, Hye Jung met the guy who confronts her for stealing. It was Hong Ji Hong who actually rented a room in the grandma's house. He is a teacher and unexpectedly, he is the homeroom teacher of Hye Jung who finally said yes for going to school after a mental beating from her grandma. Meeting Ji Hong as her tutor and mentor actually transforms Hye Jung from a hopeless child to a passionate doctors. As she watched how Ji Hong performed as a doctor, she was inspired to be a doctor and saves many lives. Ji Hong told her to not just keep dreaming but showed her true intentions by getting a good mark on the test. Hye Jung who never studied asked her classmate, Seo Woo who always get A to teach her to study for exam and it turns out Hye Jung is the one who gets A and beats Seo Woo. Seo Woo who felt she is betrayed and accused Hye Jung had an affair with her teacher, Ji Hong. Besides, Hye Jung's grandma who suffers with stomach cancer suddenly died at the operating room during the surgery which made Hye Jung to suspect the mal-practice and swears she is going to be a doctor and finds the evidence to prove it. With that unfortunate events following, Ji Hong and Hye Jung had to part ways subsequently and meet again after 13 years and now Hye Jung is a Neurosurgeon Doctor.
With such a young age being a Neurosurgeon Doctors and famous in its field is not an easy steps for Hye Jung but she is super cool and woah, I really like how she achieved her dreams and becomes a very cool and amazing woman. She is not only a doctor, but also a professional woman fighter (as she said). Epsiode 4 mostly talks about how Hye Jung meets up again with Seo Woo and Prof. Hong Ji Hong. They all work in the same hospital. Seo Woo suspects Hye Jung who is famous enough and want to join Gukil Medical Centre is to reunite with Prof. Ji Hong but eventually, she decided to come there is to uncover the truth behind her grandma's death.
In her first day, Hye Jung makes her appearance unusual from the other doctors since she decided to do a surgery which makes Prof. Jung Yoon Do (played by Yoon Kyun Sang) to throws a fit for lack of proper attitude. But then, after much discussion and debates, Dr. Jung finally seems to be interested on Hye Jung. She is strong, confident and knows what best to decide and always makes his heart flutters, (OMG so cute of him ^^)
In Episode 5 and 6, Doctors mostly talks about the cases in which make Dr. Jung to see how lovely and capable Hye Jung is. He helps Hye Jung when he visited her patient who turns out there is a scene there. Unfortunately, Hye Jung is the one who is able to turn over the situation which makes Dr. Jung very embarrassed of himself.
Many times, Dr. Jung tries to avoid Hye Jung but Hye Jung chased him and said thank you for coming there and thus allowing Hye Jung to have time to turn over the situation. But Dr. Jung is so embarrassed and expects her not to say anything anymore. Hye Jung said there is nothing to be embarrassed off because she is a professional fighter.
After everything is calmed down, Hye Jung meets up with Prof. Hong and he is relieved that nothing happens to her. Hye Jung sits with Ji Hong on a bench outside the hospital with drinks. Ji Hong asks Hye Jung if she’s going to continue living this way. She’s too competitive and should learn to enjoy the luxuries, he says. He asks how many hours she sleeps, and she responds that ten hours a week is enough. She insists that she’s used to it and says that she wouldn’t be here if she slept and worked like everyone else.
Ji Hong asks the real question: “Are you happy now?” After a pause, Hye Jung says that there’s no way she’s happy. The reason she wanted to turn over a new leaf was for Grandma, and now that she’s succeeded, Grandma is no longer with her. Ji Hong tells her to just accept it, since he can’t help her with that. Hye Jung wonders if Ji Hong keeps wanting to help her because she’s his former student, but he calls her dumb for thinking that.
He’s more straightforward with his expression and confesses that he likes her. He says that whenever he thinks of her, he remembers their last moment when she rode away on the motorcycle. He regrets not holding onto her then. Hye Jung suddenly gets up and spills the drinks all over Ji Hong. He asks if this is a rejection, and she says no; he then asks if they’re dating now, and she also says no. He asks if her instinctive response is always no, and she says no.
Hye Jung meets again with her stepmother who suffers from facial psalm who needs to have a brain surgery. Her stepmother is kinda crazy and throws a fit there, asking for a discount since Hye Jung is her daughter and asks to be change to another doctor. This matter makes Hye Jung to ask Dr. Jung to help her handle this patient. Dr. Jung refuses at first due to the professionalism but after knowing the truth, triggers by his interest on Hye Jung also, he decides to accept the offer and performs surgery.
Hye Jung comes to the Grandma's Diner who is run by her biological father. She couldn't take a step instead just seeing him for a far. With her complicated mood, she meets with Prof. Hong who is waiting for her in the rain to give her the medical records on Hye Jung grandma's surgery. In the rain, they end up with a kiss, in which Hong Ji Hong said, he is going to give something special from a man to a woman.
Personal Notes:
I really love Park Shin Hye's character here, she is bold. Although she had a rough beginnings, but she is determined to make things better for herself, even if it means playing a long game. She learnt to be independent and she has many places to grow and improve. It's rarely we see Park Shin Hye portraying this type of character.
I don't really like Kim Rae Won in A Thousand Years Promise, because he is not a typical flower handsome guy who comes from the castle and saves the princess. Yet, somehow he portrays a very warm and gentle doctor who knows how to soothe someone's feeling and give his best to love her. Although sometimes he is cheesy and straighfoward with his feelings, isn't that what we want as a viewers? It reminds me of the cheeky little Captain Yoo from Descendant of the Sun haha. We all like straightforwardness now rather than dragging the feelings and confessions.
Besides those two, there is one who attracts my interest, which is Dr. Jung Yoon Do or Yoon Kyun Sang he is super super cute with his dorky-ness. He may be a little rough around the edges, but once he gets to know someone, he is a big softy inside. He can be quick to anger but he is a rational creature and as just quick to recognise when he is wrong. I know that Yoon Kyun Sang's true personality is not someone like Dr. Jung since he is so quiet and modest on Running Man. But anyhow, I still like his acting. He can be that cute and yet he's too adorable not to be noticed.
At first I wonder who this guy is till I remember him playing in The Time We Were Not In Love with Ha Ji Won and well, in that drama, he doesn't get me a point. But seeing how he rose to become a second male lead, it motivates me to do my best too to pursue my career ^.^
Sadly, I don't think Hye Jung is going to give him a chance to enter her heart because she only has eyes for Prof. Hong. Poor Dr. Jung. Well, you can play with me nah ~
With this kind of genre and story line, Doctors enjoys much popularity with high ratings too.
Cheers ~
