Why I dropped Doctor Stranger (Discussion/Review) : r/KDRAMA - reddit - Didn't Choi advise Dr Moon (just after the committee had an uproar after finding out Hoon's from N Korea) that Hoon is valuable to the nasty Prime Minister? That being said, if Director Choi turns out to be yet another bad guy in the next episode, just pretend like I never said anything. Especially a person who has accepted her fate.
