Doctor Stranger Episode 9

Doctor Stranger Ep9 Review

Ever felt like you've been promised a bag of crisps and you wait excitedly for it, and then when you open it, it's 3/4th full of air? That's what this episode left me feeling. The preview last week made me look forward to the episode so much and didn't deliver any of that.

The first half was intense with the focus on the surgery of the newborn twins. That part was good, edgy and gripping. But that's where the good things about the episode ended. The rest of the episode had nothing but the cat-mouse chase between Jae Hee and Park Hoon. Seriously guys, it's happening so often now that even I can recognize some of the corridors and staircases they run around.

I think the writers are now trying just TOO hard to keep the suspense up. Too much of it starts to annoy me. I know it's essential to keep the viewers hooked and they were doing a marvelous job uptill a few episodes ago, you can check my previous reviews, I was gushing like a nutcase about how amazing the mystery is. But repeating and dragging the same issue over and over again in the bloody same manner? Don't you get bored of writing the same thing? I know I got bored watching it. It was the first time I check the remaining time of the episode to see when I could finish it and go to sleep. That's bad, really.

I hope that the writers find new focal points for the suspense now because the Seung Hee/Jae Hee and Park Hoon chase is driving me insane. I really don't want to stop watching this show because of the sake of the brilliancy is showed in the earlier episodes.

Every show has it's share of good and bad episodes, this was just one of the bad ones, that's all. I hope the streak doesn't continue. I'd hate to think of the show as a disappointment.
