Doctor Cha (2023)
She can do better
Straight to the point, she is portrayed as someone without ambition, pride or self worth. I understand the family matters, but most Kdramas has the wife in a servant role not just taking care of husband, children but at beck and call of the mother in law..
She has no money of her own and in this drama her name is not even on the deed of the home they share. And her mother in law does not what it there either.
When they find out she needs a liver transplant he does not offer and the mother in law is against even the thought of him donating.
She overhears their conversation and stop, this should have been her the brick wall to walk away from not the children, but for sure the husband.
After the surgery, she decides to return to complete her residency but the husband is adamant and determined she should not. It's as if her brain function is asleep and never truly questions his motive. No one at the hospital other than her son, the doctor that performed her surgery and the women is having the affair with knows she is the wife. You can probably guess who came up with the ridiculous idea and why.
Dr. Cha shares with her friend that she and husband have slept in separate beds or she may have said rooms/ no sex for 10-12 years and if that isn't a red flag; especially, if there are no health issues. It makes one wonder how did she rank so high in medical school?
As we know no secret stays a secret for long. The daughter finds about the affair first, then the son and MIF; they decide not to tell her ... WTF. But low and behold the entire hospital knows he is having an affair.
Only when she discovers that her daughter know does her light bulb go off. However, she does not know that he has a daughter with the other doctor, living a double life and actively having sex.
All in all it is a good watch. We get a chance to see the character development not just in her but her son who never wanted to be a doctor and the drama seems to be moving in the right direction.
Almost forget the doctor that performed her surgery has witnessed her husband's bad behavior and lack of care in addition to knowing about the affair; he seems to really like her. I just hope at the end she takes time to find out who she is and what she wants above anything else.
Go watch!
The Seventh Stream (2001)
Excellent Movie
The plot, characters and location really made me sit through the movie. The scenes of Ireland's landscape, cottages, ocean and people were depicted wonderfully. The harness of their work as a fishing town opened the movie as the minister prayed for the return of the fish. There was definitely chemistry. And guess what, though there were underlying hints of more it was never revealed and did not take away from the movie. It is a love story bundled with grief, pain, hurt, magic, betrayal and then unselfish sacrifice. It pulls at the heart strings. When I speak of magic or legend this is what makes the movie interesting as we all learn the story of how, when and consequences of returning or not...cannot give away too much. So watch the movie.
The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005)
Excellent
I am not a golf fan by any means. On May 26 about 10:30 PM the movie started with a scene in the late 1800's. Old movies I like but not golf however, within the first scene a young boy (Harry Vardon) is awaken by the voices of men. He goes outside to inquire what they are doing and is told they are going to build a golf something... So , then I turned the television off but something stirred me and it was back on. The movie is excellent. We then see this young boy now a man; professional golf player who is haunted with visions from his childhood. Then we meet the true focus of the movie Francis and the decisions he makes for golf. You meet his mother and father who want to protect him from the class thing that is so obvious during the period. Then there is little Eddie Lowery his caddy with encouraging words and little pushes that are instrumental in Francis winning. Don't want to give away too much . I was up until 2 A.M. This is super please see the movie.
