Doctor John

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.

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.

Interesting story on a doctor's obsession in the diagnosis and cure of often-neglected rare diseases and a good discussion on euthanasia in Asia.

In reality though, with limited medical staff and resources, most patients will not receive as much attention and diagnosis - which was also somewhat depicted in the initial episodes.

When like me, you are from a country where euthanasia is actually legal and accepted widely across the population this series becomes a bit annoying because they keep debating about it and it just doesn't make sense to me.

Otherwise the series is interesting and the acting is great, just a bit of an irrelevant subject to me.

A grt drama with both the actors amazing performance . please guys do not compare this with other dramas . this has its own charms. the tracks are awesome too. this drama can be rated as humanity witha fresh plot only potraying doctors nothing else.pleas watch it if possible
