Dr Jin  Extended 

         Four episodes ago I wrote about what I considered to be a bright ray of hope in the midst of this painful drama.  Kim Kyung Tak had supposedly lost his best friend Hong Young Hwi through death, but had gained an opportunity to once again gather Hong Young Rae to his side. I was happy because I tend to favor the underdog at all times, and Kim Kyung Tak definitely fits this description. Even though an add-on character, I was hoping to see more positive things happening for Kim Kyung Tak. Alas, this has not come about. So far this character, being portrayed remarkably well by our own Kim Jaejoong, has yet to be given an alternative to life besides being his Father’s lackey. It is obvious that his Father’s only interest in Kim Kyung Tak is to use his youth and vulnerability to commit crimes.

Kim Kyung Tak truly loves Hong Young Rae. He has loved her since childhood. and has continued to try to woo and wed her and to help her family despite opposition from his Father. Young Rae does not love Kyung Tak in this sad story of parallel universes, time travel, and Dr Jin.

Dr. Jin is a rival for Young Rae’s heart, and Kyung Tak; despite posturing and threatening, has only managed to drive her closer and closer to Dr. Jin.

Young Rae has reneged on marrying Kyung Tak twice already, and because of her stubborness has almost managed to kill herself through refusal to obtain medical help for breast cancer. Dr Jin finally convinces her to allow him to do surgery and saves the day. However, the dilemma between Young Rae and Kyung Tak continues with no relief in sight.

Between shooting the Prince and almost killing himself–Kim Kyung Tak has backed himself into a tight corner that only by giving in to the only shelter he knows–his Father’s dregs of twisted love, does he feel as if he has any worth.

Kung Tak discovers that his beloved childhood friend, Hong Young Hwi is alive. If the Left Prime Minister finds this fact out–the ship may as well sink for Kyung Tak. All I ask is for the writers to grant this character some mercy and to not persist in turning a tender-hearted young man who started this drama with some dignity into someone who has to beg to be loved. No one deserves what they have laid on this character. Fighting Kim Kyung Tak. See you next time. <3
