I'll be perfectly honest, I'm quite disappointed. "Doctor Stranger" started really solid and I became very intrigued as to what would come next. But as the episodes kept coming, I felt... less intrigued. There were two things that bothered me the most; the repetitiveness and the romance. In the beginning we saw a lot of different sceneries, whether it was outdoors or indoors, the setting had more life. That just disappears later on. It then jumps from hospital, another part of the hospital, the clinic, a house, the Blue House - rinse and repeat. It bored me, and many scenes felt so very repetitive because of it too, which is a shame. Now as for the romance... it confused me and left me frustrated a lot. "Where is the main pairing? Ohhh, so it's those two, I get it. Haha, they're funny. Wait... it's not? Hold on, what? What what what, noooo", that's pretty much me while watching this series. The feeling when your NOTP ends up being canon. Anyhow, the romance was weak and the chemistry was off. There was just too much push and pull between the main pairing for my liking. Actually more push than pull. Too much weak drama becomes annoying in the long run. But let's take a break from being Negative Nancy for a while and look at the positives. The comedy must have been the highlight for me. The comic relief was VERY NECESSARY for me to even consider giving this series a 6, and it was very nice, I'm not gonna lie. Plus the cast did a really nice job and I was never really that upset about the acting. Maybe a few times, but I think it's because I have a personal preference in character. The story could've developed into something great and beautiful! But it fell short of the big expectations I had in the beginning. It's a REAL shame because the cast is really great and they could've made this into something much more than it is. But here we are - unsatisfied and a bit confused. So I'll give this a 6. It might sound generous to those thoroughly disappointed by this series, but I think the good things I found made it more of a 6 than a 5. So there you have it. I wouldn't strongly recommend it, but it works.
