Brilliant!
Doctor Stranger is a beautiful Kdrama! It includes many brilliant elements like music, script, directing, casting, acting, plot, ideas, and story, cinematography, and production.
The directing of scenes could not be better, especially the medical scenes. Jin Hyuk and Hong Jong-chan chose good settings and places for shooting and had good presentations of characters and dialogue. Their effort is shown in the casting and the performance of each actor. There was not a single shot I would consider a misfit. It was so well that one finds himself engaged with the whole plotline rather than just the romantic elements, which is so rare in most K-dramas.
One could see the investment put forward by the production team in the cinematography, the places chosen to film in, the costumes, the visuals, and even the graphics.
The script brilliantly conveyed the plot and the storyline, presented an in-depth reflection of each character, and maintained a consistent level of engagement throughout all the episodes.
Kim Jang Woo did a good job composing the music. It is the best K-drama music I have heard until now. The instruments used in each piece match the gist of each scene it was played in its background.
The drama discusses important themes like loyalty, love, integrity, virtue, humanity, commitment, childhood, environment, and aspects of politics, psychology, history, sociology, medicine, enonomics and etc. By the end of the show, you would find yourself responding to the work by simply remembering it as you go out into the world and live life.
Doctor Stranger is not just a good piece of entertainment but also a source for character and mindset building; it helps shape the person you become if you invest the time to watch and interpret it carefully and critically. Well done and thank you to all those who participanted in bringing this work to life and to the big screen. I am grateful!
