120702 [Dr. Jin Episode 12] Commentary–Now We’re Getting Somewhere

Hurrah and Hurrah!!!  Kim Kyung Tak and Hong Young Rae are finally alone together!!

Why is this important? Mainly because even though Kim Kyung Tak has been in love with Hong Young Rae for years–she has yet to make an effort to understand her man. Yes, her man!  I believe that they are going to be given a chance to get to know one another a little better. Maybe not by much–but enough to help Young Rae to see beyond his military air into his heart which is breaking… His friendship with Hong Young Hwi is close and enduring beyond political boundaries. I say this because I truly do not believe that Hong Young Hwi is dead. Yes, he was shot, and we watched him fall. Yet there was no noticeable splash into the river, and it was the typical peek over the ledge see no body that was used in Episode One.  O.K. O.K. I’ll lighten up.

Dr. Jin needs to get back to his 2012 lady love and no one knows it better than himself. So…he is trying to right the course of history and in that original course I personally do not believe that Hong Young Hwi dies in this way.

Anyway, back to the two estranged lovers. Somehow I believe that Hong Young Rae can soften the “Le Miserables” type character of Kim Kyung Tak. [This is my literary reference–I am occidental]. After all, he is so smitten that he will probably listen just to be with her. On his side, this gives him opportunity to talk about those things important to him. They both are grieving the ‘death’ of Hong Young Hwi. if the writers will allow them some time now or in the near future–I believe that they may be able to pull it together.

Our own Kim Jaejoong is doing a marvelous acting job as Kim Kyung Tak, and all of the cast is exemplary. My only protest–stop kicking Jaejoong!!!  😮

[NEWS] 120625 Dr Jin, Kim Jaejoong “Kim Kyung Tak’s Outcry, The Saddest Scene”

Viewers consoled Dr Jin’s Kim Jaejoong.

Netizens began ‘Save Kim Kyung Tak’ to console Kim Kyung Tak who seemed to have nothing after even losing his close friend in MBC’s weekend drama Dr Jin episode 10 shown on Jun 24.

Since he received news that Hong Yong Rae has called of the wedding, Kim Kyung Tak has shut his heart in despair and anger and became absorbed in capturing anonymous members from a secret organization. On the day of the banquet, he discovered and chased the ringleader who was planning to assassinate his father who was also the vice premier, Kim Byung Hee.

In a tense moment, Kim Kyung Tak sliced the mask off and exposed the face of the ringleader – Hong Yong Hwi who happened to be Yong Rae’s brother and his close friend. The shocked Kyung Tak could not bear to shoot Yong Rae who was running away, so he shot it towards the sky and wailed.

Kim Kyung Tak could not marry Hong Yong Rae whom he has been waiting for 20 years and he lost his close friend. Netizens responded, “Make Time Slip Kim Kyung Tak, summon Kyung Tak to 2012”, “Even taking away the only thing that is left for him. This character is ridiculous”, “I would rather put Kyung Tak and Choon Hong as a couple. Poor Kyung Tak”.

Kim Jaejoong said, “Due to filming, I’ve yet to watch the scene that I have with Yong Hwi. This is the saddest scene so far. Let’s see if Kyung Tak has lost his reason to live or not. I hope you will watch it with love.”

120625 Commentary: When Will The Real Kim Kyung Tak Stand Up????

When Will The Real Kim Kyung Tak Stand Up?????

 They may as well start boiling people in oil… Time Slip Dr. Jin has just reached an all time high–they are going so far as to torture the main heroine– Young Rae, along with Dr. Jin, for the trumped up charge of poisoning the Dowager Queen. Episodes 9 and 10 are stuffed full of violence and intrigue with poisoning and beheading as side dishes. This is not a drama to watch to relax or to share with your young children. It is barbaric and makes me so tense that I have to seek a calm place after viewing it. This is because it is depicting another time and place when things such as this occurred. The Spanish Inquisition and The Salem Witch Trials are comparable realities.

With the addition of Kim Kyung Tak’s character into the mix, this drama becomes an even more complicated story. His character is vulnerable, and his heart is tender–yet he finds it necessary to do the will of his politically scheming father and brother in order to procure a living. Faced with the stigma of being illegitimate, Kim Kyung Tak, portrayed by our own Kim Jaejoong, wars within himself as to what are the motives of the people that he loves. He hurts easily, and does not fully understand why his love for Young Rae is not returned. After she breaks their engagement, he still protects her reputation and takes the blame upon himself. Yet, even though becoming hardened. he cannot kill his best friend when faced with the knowledge that his friend is of a warring faction–a faction that he has been pursuing for a great while as a leader of the Police Force. 

I am waiting for Kim Kyung Tak to come to his senses and defend the woman he loves simply out of the purity of that love. He stands to lose her in the political war between his family and the royal family. If he can come to see this, and not mistakenly place Dr. Jin as the culprit, thus allowing further torture, perhaps Young Rae can grow to love Kim Kyung Tak for his compassion and ability to discern right from wrong. It wouldn’t hurt matters either if he learned to ask her will and her opinions.

It will take a massive sacrifice on Kim Kyung Tak’s part to do the right thing and to turn on his power-hungry family. The writing is on the wall; he just needs to interpret it. This seems to be at a point in history where many new discoveries and the age of enlightenment are starting to coalesce [pull togetherto make something new].

I know that there are those who say that “Time Slip Dr. Jin” has no depth–I see much depth. Perhaps it is not as deep as the Japanese version? I am fine with the drama just as it is. I don’t need deeper than this. My imagination can conjure up a whole lot more than what is being presented on the surface of this intricate story.

The question I am asking is this: “when will the real Kim Kyung Tak stand up”? Will he allow his brother and the totally inept, insipid state Doctor to maim or kill the woman that he has loved for 20 years?  Will he allow his embarrassment and anger to choke him into inaction?  Hopefully, he will trust the instincts of friends that he has known and loved for many years, and begin to take action against the injustices of the present political climate.

We are still waiting on Kim Jaejoong as Kim Kyung Tak to bust a move in the right direction…Listening writer??

120618 Dr.Jin: Thought–Provocating and Excellent

Posted on by
Reply

I intially wrote my thoughts about Dr. Jin in the early stages of this drama. Even though some do not appreciate the serious tone of this drama–it is an enlightening look at politics and medicine 150 years ago. This drama is not light in its approach or intent. It is a political statement on the climate and circumstances of the time-frame although with this writer’s interpretation of historical facts.  Adapted from a Japanese manga format–some elements have been changed but the underlying theme of the nobles against the commoners is there.

The following excerpt retrieved from the world wide web via Wikipedia states:

“Jin Hyuk is a gifted neurosurgeon who was born into a family of doctors. His success rate in surgery hovers at 100%, with his ability to quickly analyze any situation and extremely steady hands. Due to his personal pursuit of perfection, he has a cold attitude and lacks compassion. He is planning to propose to his beloved girlfriend Yoo Mi-na, when after an argument, Mi-na gets into an accident and lapses into a coma.

After surgically removing a fetus-shaped tumor from a patient’s brain, a mysterious power causes Jin Hyuk to travel 150 years back in time to the year 1860 during the Joseon Dynasty, when medical technology was still in its infant stages. He begins treating people of the era, but the lack of necessary implements and rudimentary medical knowledge of the period forces him to develop medical devices and medicine by himself, and seek new ways to aid the sick. Through this challenging process and with the help of young noblewoman Young-rae (who looks exactly like Mi-na), Jin Hyuk becomes a true doctor.”

Simply said–this drama is an adaptation of a compelling situation that reflects the changes that were occurring at this dawn of the modern era of medicine in the Oriental world. Of course, Dr. Jin would not have been there in reality so this is a what if? scenario that is unfolding.

I am fascinated by the professional acting that I see here, including Jaejoong’s interpretation of his role as a soldier caught between his family and his conscience. Prayerfully, the writer will allow this character to mature and to truly make a difference. His heart is not in his work, it is with Young-Rae.

You have to ask whether the original intent of Time Slip Dr.Jin was to express political opinions; to journal medical advances to come; or to simply explore time-travel and parallel universe theories. It is all three.  Either way, it is a fascinating story-line that I hope people will understand and continue to embrace. Where will this adaptation take the characters. “Time will tell’.

JYJ’s Kim Jae Joong made many people laugh by threatening Park Yoo Chun with a sword.

On June 15, Kim tweeted a picture with the comment, “Listen to me, Lee Gak. Where is Park Yoo Chun?”

In the picture, Kim is threatening Park with a sword. Park played the role of a prince named Lee Gak in SBS’s series Rooftop Prince, which went off air last month. Kim is not threatening real Park but standing signboard. This made many people laugh out loud.

People who saw the picture responded: “Kim is threatening Park? It’s so funny.” “Even though he has a sword in front of him, Park still standing confidently. Cute prince.” “Look at Kim’s serious face. He made me laugh a lot.”

Kim is currently appearing on MBC’s weekend series Dr. Jin with Song Seung Hun and Park Min Young.

[News] 120612 The Cast of Dr.Jin Never Let Go of Script: “No Wonder They Are All Good At Portraying Characters

[News] 120612 The cast of Dr.Jin never let go of script: “No wonder they are all good at portraying characters

Lately, MBC’s TV series Dr.Jin has been receiving positive feedback from viewers day after another with its great storyline and spectacular scenes. The leading actors of the series show particular affection to the script.

On June 12, some behind-the-scenes cuts were revealed.

You can spot actors enthusiastically working on portraying their characters as they are completely absorbed in acting, not letting go of the script.

Because none of the cast has gotten caught up in a controversy over the lack of acting skills, Dr.Jin became very popular. Certainly, the cast who are affectionate toward the characters they play brought a high quality to the series with their love for the script.

Actor Song Seung Hun gradually builds his reputation through his role of a genius doctor of the 21st century who time-travels back in the Joseon Dynasty. Park Min Young plays a double role which goes back and forth the timeline. Although it is his first time acting in a historical drama, Kim Jae Joong shows great acting skills. They grab viewers’ attention at once because they are so absorbed in their roles.

 In addition to the cast mentioned above, Lee Bum Soo who is dubbed “the god of acting” plays Lee Ha Eung, “the leader of Joseon.” His acting video clip without background music has already impressed numerous netizens and soon, he gained a nickname “genius acting.”

A staff member of the production crew says, “On the shooting set, you can easily spot actors who are constantly studying about their characters holding a script in their hand. Before and during the shooting, they communicate, study, and give their best with the director.”

With increasing viewer ratings thanks to the enthusiastic cast, MBC’s Dr.Jin broadcasts every Saturday and Sunday at 9:50 p.m.

Editor’s Note 120609: Hong Yong Rae Pulls Dr. Jin Through Cholera–Jaejoong as Kim Kyung Tak Becomes Villian

Posted on by
Reply

As they say where I come from–“I do declare”…Our own Kim Jaejoong has taken on this role in Dr. Jin as Kim Kyung Tak, the illegitimate son of the leader of the aristocracy. He is a troubled young man, full of fear and desiring to fit in with his family that treats him as an outcast servant. Kim Kyung Tak makes compromises in his execution of military orders to please his father–the only family member who acknowledges that he is family. The thread of the story places his heart with Hong Young Rae, the daughter of a now impoverished noble family who sees her duty as a secret Christian to love everyone equally. She does not spare herself when an epidemic of cholera breaks out among the poor, but insists on helping Dr. Jin to treat the sick. When he contracts the disease himself she stays by his side to nurse him through–even defying the societal norms of her time that prevented a noblewoman from treating an unclothed man. Through her devoted efforts Dr. Jin recovers just before Kim Kyung Tak follows his Father’s orders to burn the village where Dr. Jin is treating his patients despite the fact that reports have come in that patients are recovering. Kim Kyung Tak teeters on the edge of decency and humanitarianism as he begins to see the injustices meted out upon the people. He has not yet become strong enough to fight this system which rewards the rich and takes from the poor. There is nothing new in this theme.

Hong Young Rae exists in a parallel universe which has captured Dr. Jin and placed him 150 years in the past during the Chosun Dynasty with only his skills as a neurosurgeon to treat the sick. Modern healing methods are possible only if he can find a way to adapt the meager supplies that he has taken from 2012 to the past. The question is will Dr. Jin’s love of 2012, Yo Min Ah, recover from emergency surgery to be there for him when he returns to his own time? Will Kim Kyung Tak rally and win the heart of his fiancee, Hong Young Rae? Only more episodes will tell the tale.

I look forward to viewing Episode 6.  It seems such a long wait and an even longer wait to get to Episodes 7 and 8. If my stomach can hold out against all of the gory and bloody procedures–not to mention vomit galore– I will be that much closer to answering these questions.

Kim Jaejoong–I am so proud of you for choosing this quality role that has such potential to speak out and act out against the Order of the Day. I would be happy to see Kim Kyung Tak begin to strike against the feudal social system that denies him dignity as an illegitimate son. It will take overcoming his fear of rejection by his Father, and the motivation of wanting to win the love of Hong Young Rae.
