The Outlaw Doctor

If you're looking for a serie to savour and medical / thriller series are happened to be your cup of tea, this one would be right up your alley.

I initially tuned in because of Lien Binh Phat, who became one of my favourite actors since his work Song Lang few years ago. After the pilot, I got sucked in.

The fast pace might make you find it hard to keep up, at first. But I find this interesting, as this does require you to just put down whatever you're having at hand to have your attention fully on the screen and watch as the plot links itself together, the characters unfold and the moment everything clicks will guarantee a "wow" out loud.

Each episode will leave you thinking. Or half-leaping from the edge of your seat with your hand over your chest while a bittersweet aftertaste blooms in your mouth.

The actors work brilliant with each other. Ning Chang and Lien Binh Phat's chemistry faintly reminds me of a more snarkier relationship between Dr. House and Dr. Wilson in House M. D --- should their characters find each other in a different circumstance, it is guaranteed a rather good rivalry-at-work sitcom-ish situation would occur.

You can tell that lots of care were poured into this serie. If you're looking for some worthy serie to watch, consider giving this a chance!

I've always been a big fan of crime series and movies/films in the medical field. I've watched quite a lot of films from the US and Korean, but this is the first time ever to watch a Taiwanese one.

Overall, I think the story-telling of this film is very good, easy to understand and fascinating to follow. Regardless of the criminal or medical factors, the film does really well. Also, the actors did a relatively good job in delivering the characters' emotion and situation to viewers, especially the main character Pham Van Ninh.

I got the chance to meet Lien Binh Phat in person in his Fancine in Hanoi and listen to him sharing about the experience and stories in the process of shooting the film. He said that he has a wall of scripts in his hotel room. Each piece of paper is 1 scene, and after every shoot, he would remove it as an achievement. He also explained that doing this helps him stayed in character, since the role Pham Van Ninh has really deep and complicated mentality. I think that is an indication of how dedication the actor has for his character, and for me, it is the quality of an actor should have.

After watching the first 4 episodes, I feel very attracted by the story. The filmmakers know how to enhance the sound and visual effects to make viewers focus on the significant situations.

However, there's only 1 thing that makes me a little uncomfortable - the actors' English. As an English learner, I don't like it very much, but as a viewers, I understand that it's the intention of the director.

In short, I think everyone who has an interest in crime/medic series should watch this film. I guarantee the experience is so good you just want to watch more ^^

The series masterfully explores the moral and legal dilemmas faced by the protagonists. As Ninh and Wan-ping navigate their perilous journey, their initial conflicts evolve into a profound partnership, highlighting themes of redemption and the search for belonging. The chemistry between Lien Binh Phat and Janine Chang Chun-Ning adds depth to their characters' evolving relationship, making their struggles and triumphs resonate with viewers.

"The Outlaw Doctor" is a thought-provoking series that challenges viewers to reflect on the boundaries of legality and morality. Its engaging plot, strong performances, and ethical explorations make it a standout addition to the 2025 television landscape.

The drama caught my attention from the first time watching the trailer, it's not just only thrill, but it also very moving. Each episode is worth watching, both the actors are epic, they really know how to catch the audiences' attention every episode. Especially the Lien Binh Phat, he's very good looking and talented actor. Ninh Chang is fascinating too. The plot written well, story flow smoothly, moving and astonishing. Every character have their depth in developing, back story. The action scene are fire, very real, I love it. Hope the drama it self get more recognition from audiences around the world.

A film that recreates reality in a bare and excellent way. The film's flow is fast, not complicated, making you curious about what will happen next. The film is invested meticulously in every detail.

Lien Binh Phat completely portrays every emotion through his eyes. Truong Quan Ninh portrays both the toughness of a doctor and the weakness of a mother. The chemistry of actors in the film is truly extremely compatible and wonderful. The film takes viewers through many emotions, some frustrating, some sympathetic, some humorous. Viewers sometimes wonder what they would do if they were in that situation? And wonder why life is so harsh?

I really hope that the film will be known by more people.
