Web drama 'Dr. Ian' premieres first three episodes


Source: TV Report via Naver

1. [+56, -2]  Sandara Park really doesn't age...

2. [+34, -6]  It may be because the team behind this web drama is excellent but it was great and fresh.  In Secret Garden, the music choice was superb and it really enhanced the emotion you felt once it started playing.  Just like that, this drama also has great songs.  

3. [+16, 0]  It's too bad that it was so short. ㅠㅠ  Can't they make it go on for at least an hour?  My heart fluttered during the elevator scene between Dara and Kim Young Kwang.  I'll be anticipating the progress of their romance~

4. [+20, -4]  It was great.  I can't wait for Tuesday

5. [+4, -9]  Kim Young Kwang: Dara, your calves are thin right?

1. [+1042, -49]  Sandara Park doesn't age at all... woah

2. [+866, -49]  Wow as expected of Dara noona... look at all the foreign fans here

3. [+839, -74]  She's still lacking in some ways but I hope to see more of her as an actress in the future!!!  Don't forget all the fans that are supporting you!  

(TN: Naver TV Cast only displays the top three best comments so the following won't be in any order.)

"[+19, -4]  She's definitely very pretty and has a face of an actress."

"[+41, -6]  Dara's already been acting since a long time ago ㅠㅠ Why don't people acknowledge that... She was very famous in the Philippines before she entered YG."

"[+23, -3]  Sandara's so pretty.... her acting was pretty natural too and she did better than I expected.  Hope 'actress' Dara will promote even more"

"[+17, -2]  I thought she was Shin Se Kyung for a second... she definitely has the beauty for acting."

1. [+219, -15]  Dara's acting is still lacking just a tiny bit but she's not a poor actress... She should work on her eye contact and tone just a little bit more and then I hope we'll see her more on broadcast

2. [+206, -5]  I can imagine Dara reading our comments 

3. [+204, -7]  Fighting to Sodam!  Blackjacks support you

"[+8, 0]  It would have felt so much better if she had poured the wine on him instead of the food"

"[+9, 0]  I liked her acting.  I'm surprised as her vocal tone and expressions improved... I think she practiced a lot."

"[+9, -1]  I felt something lacking when she recited her lines such as "Huh? (Neh? 네?)" "What? (Mwo? 뭐)"... Other than that it was good and I really felt Sodam's 'nobody' character."

"[+18, -1]  Her character is someone who buries her head and can't make eye contact after finding out her boyfriend has been cheating on her on their 500th day anniversary... If you go by that, her voice tone actually fits the character quite well."

"[+13, -1]  It's her first time acting but I think if she just fixed her voice tone and eye contact she'd be so much better"

1. [+221, -9]  Her voice sounds fine in Episode 3 though?  I was totally engrossed watching it. ㅎ  I want to see her in an hour long drama too ㅎ Cheering her on ㅎ

2. [+202, -5]  Sandara Park's very pretty... I had fun watching it!!!  They really match well together ㅎ

3. [+182, -4]  I enjoyed watching it... Ah too bad for Sodam ㅜㅜ  Sandara Park's beautiful as expected... I'll be anticipating what's in store for the future!

"[+6, 0]  During that one emotional scene, her voice tone was a bit awkward but I like that she seems to be improving little by little!  The material for this web drama and the two lead stars' chemistry are both great so fighting until the end!"

"[+20, -5]  Sandara Park fits more as an actress than as a singer..."

"[+17, 0]  The shots are beautiful and the actors are all beautiful... I like the way this drama was made"

"[+18, 0]  Their height difference is so cute ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"

"[+1, 0]  In some parts, her acting feels a bit obvious"

"[+17, -1]  The scene where Dara was crying... if she's already acting well enough to express a sincere emotion like that then of course the points she's lacking in will improve later on.  I really like that she tackled this project prepared and practiced.  Fighting.  I can't wait for the next episode"

"[+19, 0]  I don't know whether it's because it's a web drama or not but the flow of the drama isn't very natural at all... On the other hand, Sandara Park's visuals are very pretty and her acting's improved."

"[+12, -2]  She's said that she practiced her breathing quite a bit but I felt that her pronunciation was too stiff.  However, with practice she could get better"

myoonsong said...

HANAN♠ said...

I'm glad that there are constructive criticism ^-^ She will definitely improve from time to time so I hope YG would let her take more roles ~

nhoki said...

thanks a lot for the translation!!!

kpopforswag said...

Where can i watch the eng sub? ._.

ramenboy said...

it got better in episode 3! When she confronted her ex boyfriend I almost cried!
She was a little awkward in the beginning but I think it's because her character is supposed to be exaggeratedly shy and awkward.

cigaretteplease said...

It's amazing how people are so supportive of Dara as per these comments. They critique her with good intentions and they praise her accordingly. We all want her succeed and we're rooting for her! Having a good heart, having a good reputation by being kind and respectful and professional pays. It's not just about being talented.


Hoping for more blessings and successes for dara unnie!!

genevieve said...

I love all the comment and I agree to all. Hope that she will focus more on her lacking and improve it.

Thisss!! yeah it's too short ;___; I expect it will at least 30 mins (never watch web drama before)
they have a great chemistry..can't wait to see ep 4 tonight~~
/picture spoiler *sorry*/
I like this scene when dara open the bunny head and dr.ian looking at her in curious stare ;u; and yeah the elevator scene!!

couer said...

You all have to admit Dara's haters that she is not a bad actress as you expected her to be LOL. And this is just her first work as an actress what more later on as she continue to improved. Wohooo can't wait!

gdgom said...

ACTRESS DARA JJANG JJANG JJANG!

couer said...

No Dara fansite will eng sub or even upload it on youtube because they want the views on naver or youku to increase. Maybe expect the eng sub after a month or two LOL.

kpopforswag said...

Ouch.. :( then i think i'll have to be more patient X'D

bomismyqueen said...

The word that I hate the most now is "Awkward". Sorry but I have to disagree with some people saying some parts were awkward because isn't her character suppose to be awkward?

"[+18, -1] Her character is someone who buries her head and can't make eye contact after finding out her boyfriend has been cheating on her on their 500th day anniversary... If you go by that, her voice tone actually fits the character quite well."



Totally agree with this comment. Of course Dara's acting is not perfect but people throwing "some parts are awkward" easily really gets in my nerve because as I see it, that was what the director is asking from her.


She executed it very well and I may not be her biggest fan but she deserves all of the praises and rave reviews she is getting for not only acting very well but also practically promoting this web drama ALL BY HERSELF. (Dr. Ian doesn't even have an official SNS's accounts tsk...tsk...)


Kudos to Sandara Park and hoping for more Drama opportunities in the future. K-Drama badly needs leading ladies who can act and I know in my heart that you are one. Fighting!

bomismyqueen said...

Some group of Dara fans will sub Dr. Ian in english. They will release it after Dr. Ian is done (it will end April 8th). I don't think it will take them a month. 2 weeks at most.

hannaxxy said...

Love Dara but I've got to admit that some parts I watched were kinda "awkward." I get that her character is supposed to be like that but there were some parts like one commenter said where you could tell she was just "acting"... Idk how to explain it but for example when I watch a drama and a character is angry... I just see them as angry not acting angry. Maybe it's because it's Dara and it's hard for me to picture her in another character other than her own self she's been showing us for years... but anyway, her acting definitely wasn't perfect here but I hope/know she will improve later on. I was really impressed with her crying scene though

babybo$$ said...

do well!

Apple said...

Soooo muchhhh feeellllssss

bomismyqueen said...

It is a guarantee that Dara will improve and she will work hard on it. One of the million reasons why Dara cannot be put down is because she is committed in making herself better. She won't stop.

guest said...

She delivered much more than what was expected on her first drama. She's good especially in the crying scenes and she's so cute when she's walking in that tokki costume.

I'm glad the knetz didn't bash her but instead gave constructive criticisms and pointing out on what areas she needs to improve. This is just the beginning and I'm excited to see Dara's growth as an actress with every acting projects she'll make from hereon.

bronwyn said...

precisely...and I don't get the voice tone comment though...wouldn't it be more "awkward" if she modulated her voice when she's crying or shouting? Her voice compliments her face and her petite frame and added a natural feel to her acting. I've heard a lot of actresses with squeaky voices and no one commented on them. For someone who watch Korean and Taiwanese dramas a lot I could honestly say she did better than most of them...

bronwyn said...

Dara's humility and sincerity are huge factors I guess. She's not "hey, look at me..I'm the best in this game". She's always vocal about her weaknesses and she works hard to better herself and everybody sees that.

bomismyqueen said...

My best guess is they are nitpicking Dara's acting since Dara told them to do so. She openly asked them to tell her what they think of her acting. Hahaha me too I watch a lot of Asian Dramas and I have heard loads of actors/actresses who sounds wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too squeeky and not tv/movie material but no one called them out for it. Anyway, this is really a great start. Statistics wise the web drama is really doing very well. I personally want her in a TVN drama for her next project because 1. Their dramas are the best 2. It is broadcasted in cable (slowly introducing Dara in a larger audience step-by-step) and 3. I think TVN has this charm that best suits Dara now.

ygBIATCH said...

I can't wait for the next episode!!

bronwyn said...

IKR.. that got me wondering about why people were saying before that Dara can't be an actress 'coz of her voice.


Keeping my fingers cross for more Daramas and great opportunities to come to ALL 2ne1 members!

Nyai said...

awkward as in unnatural, in a way you can notice she is acting. That's what I felt when I watched and I think they are refering to that.

nizey said...

i like how the comments are not full of sugar coating from fans. i like that it's full of constructive criticisms. as a fan, i will not be blind and say her acting is already perfect. i'm glad others have this mindset too. but i'm absolutely positive that her acting will improve from here on. yg just has to give her more opportunities.

keekee said...

i was practically squealing like a pig during that elevator scene!!

keekee said...

she had a few awkward acting moments here and there but overall, her acting was better than i'd expected :) looking forward to tonight's episode!

V e n ✖️ said...

May i have the link with eng sub? Please? :)

couer said...

okay I was prepared to be objective about Dara's acting because hello you can't really shield if she really is bad at acting And I've seen a few comments saying she is still awkward in some parts so when I watched the drama I was prepared to see the awkwardness. However I didn't really noticed any. in fact I think she delivered well and I didn't see any trace of Dara like some says. Can you please state what part you think she is just acting? i want to watch that part just to see of my view changes.

VIIXVMCMXCI said...

I like how YG takes daras acting career to test in a web drama first. People commented a lot of daras mistake and its a good sign where she could improve more. So that one day she is ready to accept bigger roles. :)

Yellow said...

CHAERA be slaying YGPRESS.

Ivy Ordas said...

hahah samee omggg

Nyai said...

Honestly, i'm not gonna go to watch all again without subs to tell you exactly, I'm too lazy.

I noticed her tone was not the best in almost every scene except for the one with her revenge over the boyfriend and the one crying. But she is specially awkward in her reactions (speaked) towards other people dialogue (like when she is talking with her boss or when she is looking for her boyfriend in the hotel).



I'm saying this as someone who has been into k-dramas since 2006-7 but I'm not a native korean, so I can be wrong.

bomismyqueen said...

I have to upvote you girl or boy haha. I just really dislike it when people throw in "awkward" easily without digesting the scene and the character.

sushicshi said...

My favorite scene was when Dara was crying... she's a bit stiff on the other parts but her crying scenes are really good...i felt her pain and i even shed a tear TT TT... hopefully to see a more improved Dara in the future...

AR Manlapaz said...

I was hoping for english subs asap but considering the fans want to up the views on naver and youku i understand. I guess I'll have to put my korean 1 and 2 to good use. lol.

I kinda know what the knetz are talking about in regards to her awkwardness. I could tell from the trailers... but I'm not in any position to judge yet since I haven't seen episode 1 yet. I bet she's not comfortable yet because it's been a while since she's actually acted in a drama. Last one was Iljimae and it wasn't even a character that required her to be in-depth when acting.

다라언니 화이팅! 브랙젝스는 언니고 투애니원 멤버들 지원하고 있을게요! (i think that's how you say it. lol. i tried.

YG_dara said...

You can go to welovedara twitter they have a rough translation per ep :)

YG_dara said...

Im so amazed by how dara acted on this web drama its not perfect but its better than i expected based on what i saw in the trailer!There were some awkward moment but its minimal and I didnt remember those scenes when ep 2 and 3 came. She really executed Sodams hertbreaking moment!I cried even though i dont understand a word of what shes saying thats how effective she is in conveying her emotions. Im so excited on the 4th ep onwards! I dont find anything wrong with her tone its actually well suited for her character!

juicekoday said...

sheeettttt... the feelsssssss kkkk

DAEBABY's said...

Yet another drama to add to my to-watch list ;_; Ah, I'm too busy ><

SanDaraKrungy said...

I agree with Dara's acting. I mean the last time she really acted was years ago back in the Philippines. She focused on singing and dancing after that which is not bad at all. But then, now that 2ne1 are pursuing solo careers, I think Dara has a better chance on remaining in the industry. She still has more room for improvement. I am glad that she started acting in a web drama that way she'll be more prepared in a 16-20 episode dramas. ^_^ Though, I can easily be mesmerized by her vampire beauty in the screen. It's like she never aged. Really. It's like she is the same old Sandy in the Philippines. I am glad she was given the opportunity to act again because I think acting was her first love.
