DOCTORS -- EPISODE 5

"I'm the Dungeon Master and what I say goes, got it?"

Yoon Do and Seo Woo conspire to get rid of our heroine, but she pulls through their tense "test surgery" with flying colors. Neurosurgery Dept Head Kim Tae Ho is under siege for bringing in lower profits than other departments. Over the next couple days, Ji Hong asks Hye Jung out. Late at night, a familiar figure from the past makes a delivery at Soon Hee's restaurant. Meanwhile, a man seeking revenge for his brother attacks a hospitalized gang boss. Hye Jung stops him, only to be stabbed herself...

The "get rid of Hye Jung club" is starting to get annoying. I understand Seo Woo blames her for everything that went wrong in her life, but that in itself is ridiculous. Since she ended up in a good school, probably had boyfriends, and is a surgeon, I don't see how anything "went wrong." Yoon Do cites her lack of respect for the rules, but if the result is the same, what does it matter? Ah well, it increases the tension, even if it's overused.


Yoon Do shows off his mad driving skillz while an uninterested Hye Jung walks off.

The relationship between Hye Jung and Ji Hong is a little sudden. I guess it's way more appropriate than when she was a student, but I never thought that they'd actually get together. Thinking back, I guess Seo Woo's jealousy was justified. The teacher-student pair-up happens so often in dramas that I wonder if it's not as taboo as it is in the U.S.

I'm totally ready for the next episode. That's one thing I have to hand to the writers: they know how to end the installments so you're eager for the next. Bring it on!
