A must watch for medical drama lover

This is one of the best medical drama out there in my opinion. I love everything about this series. The stories, characters and casts are great.

I love the fact that the story focus on 4 young doctors and a nurse that just start their fellowship program in the Doctor Heli program. We see those doctors grow through out the story and overcome their weakness and find confidence in themself.

I love how they focus more on the cases and the patients. There’s almost no hospital politics that I mostly found boring and tend to be exaggerated. The focus on the patients and their families is a welcome change.

It’s been a while since I watch dorama, been watching Kdrama lately. I must say that I forgot how dorama is not as exaggerated as Kdrama, they play your emotion with more subtlety, there are almost no crying your heart out loudly, less shouting and all those over the top performances. I found I cry more due to the subtle emotion manipulation, because it feel more grounded and real.

Everyone have different personalities and need to adjust to be able to work as a team. Really love Aizawa Kosaku, played by Yamapi, he’s so looks like a cold and rude doctor, but he actually have a really warm heart. Saejima, the nurse also have a really interesting character development. They are the two character that have the most background story, but they also explore the other 3 character background, just not as deep.

I would give the cast/character 10/10 if they flesh out shiraishi character more, I feel like she’s the most one dimensional character here. Not sure whether that’s the writing or the acting that make this character flat, while the other character feels more layered.

Love the music, especially the instrumental background music, really build up the mood. I also love the soundtrack at the end of each episodes. I would definitely rewatch this drama, mostl likely more than once.
