editSynopsis

The drama has Okada playing the part of Shiba Kengo, a pure-hearted young surgeon who is dedicated to his work. He gets transferred from a prestigious university hospital to a financially troubled hospital, but there he meets a capable and cool-headed chief nurse named Kasugai Yuka (Nakatani), who teaches him the reality of the medical world. The pure Kengo must face various obstacles and challenges as he tears off the “masks” of respected professionals – doctors, nurses, and educators – and uncovers their true natures. Actor Hasegawa Hiroki plays the manager of a major group that operates schools, while Kato Ai plays his wife and the sister of Yuka.

  • Okada Masaki is the main lead in both. He also plays the role of a surgeon. Although in one he comes off as cold and distant and in the other he's the opposite of that.

  • Although these shows are different in setting (high school vs. hospital) the main theme of both is the battle between good and bad inner sides of ourselves.

    I was hooked since the first episode although as the storyline got more developed I got REALLY scared. However I still kind of sympathized with every character because somewhere between the lines was written that nobody is a true villain - and the last episode proved me right, and if this was a kdrama Kengo and Yoko would get a kissing scene. I'm glad it was a happyend, perhaps a total turn form the eerie atmosphere of the previous episodes, but still an epic "good conquers evil" ending so I easily rated it 10, plus the music is awesome. Nothing over sweeted as one would expect but mostly instrumental pieces with some opera singing. I really suck at describing such things. Simply - great music, gripping storyline, very good acting, and now I'm off to watch something lighthearted.
