a legendary surgeon known as the “hand of god” mysteriously disappears and later resurfaces as “professor kim” at a small provincial hospital, where he mentors young doctors. it shares a very similar tone of a brilliant antihero battling a corrupt system.
the original japanese series, spanning 7 seasons and 69 episodes, starring ryoko yonekura. it follows michiko daimon, a freelance surgeon who works at university hospitals while challenging a healthcare system in crisis that operates under a survival of the fittest mentality. it’s essentially the dna of the modern medical k-drama.

If you like how grounded and mature Filing for Love is, do yourself a favor and watch Crash Course in Romance! It's from the same screen writer(co-writer) and completely delivers on that same realistic, grown-up chemistry without relying on lazy clichés.
(and also Seasons 2 and 3 of this same series); DR follows a highly skilled and reserved doctor with miraculous abilities and a bad temper, and his different students throughout the seasons who grow as doctors and as humans as the episodes progress.
While DR is a hard-core medical drama with very little focus on other developments, it is very similar in its approach to the medical ethics and the patients as side-characters. Both dramas deal with central characters that are doctors and nurses, and who in turn deal with an array of patients with different conditions belonging to their offbeat and remote corner of South Korea.

Master once said to Cui Xiao Xiao, who has a ten-injury fate, is actually very lucky. If she had been born two hundred years earlier, according to her Yin destiny, she would have become the nemesis of the evil master Wei Jie. If that happens, frail Xiao Xiao will be hunted to the end of the world, her bones broken and ashes raised.
Xiao Xiao secretly calls out: "What a close call. Wei Jie is a cold and cruel person. Fortunately, he was killed by his cowardly disciple Qin Ling Xiao two hundred years ago.
