Doctor John

This is one of the great shows of 2019. Fantastic acting by the leads. It is a Suspense, thrilling, romantic, and heart warming medical drama. The show kept the momentum untill the last episode. The only thing I didn't like about the drama is the last episode. I am not saying the last episode was bad or not good enough. But I couldn't justify the action of the lead. (just my personal opinion). You will see what I am talking about when you watch it. But don't stop watching it just because of what I just said, because you might have a different opinion and also this is very good show you can't miss.

Absolutely fabulous medical drama! Incredible story: I did not expect such an amazing narrative! Every episode was completely captivating. The entire cast was so incredibly talented: the chemistry among all was unbelievably enthralling and endearing! Ji Sung's performance as Dr. John was extraordinary: he is such an exceptionally brilliant actor. Bravo to the cast, crew & writers for a wonderful emotionally riveting show! Loved it!

It was a pretty interesting drama about pain medicine and issues about euthanasia. I thought it would be similar with beautiful mind of Janghyuk but it was different. I kinda started to like the premise but then it becomes boring in the middle that I had to skip some parts. The chemistry between him and her leading lady is not much either.

This is a program that would have gone down as an amazing movie had the characters risen to their roles. The issues discussed like eusthanasia and prolonging life have no straight answers. Both doctors , patients, families and caretakers go through intense pain and dilemma. The legal aspects clash with the doctors and patients decisions most times. Dying and death are not easy to decide on and the question of the role of a life saver like a doctor becoming the Terminator of pain.

Ji sung as the doctor protagonist plays his role so well. And his good looks ..the female lead was dead pan . No doctor weeps all the time like she does. Playing a role requires a lot of preparation and if those nuances aren't captured the character becomes weak.

Many issues are left open ended as should be because there are no one answer to the issues discussed. The dilemmas were well captured .

The team of young doctors stood and stared most of the time and appeared totally ignorant. I couldn't stop comparing with Dr Stranger, The Good Doctor - action packed and capturing reality powerfully.

But saw the whole program because of the powerful issues raised and Dr Cha's role.

I generally don't like medical dramas. But i love Ji Sung's acting so i gave it go and ... it is so good. There a few things that doesn't make sense at first but you understand them a few episodes later. Lee Se-young's acting is also really good. And it is not one of these dramas that just consists of love triangles , childhood traumas and such. It has a good plot and the OST is also good. You should definetely check this out.
