Goddohando Teru

A medical drama with a supernatural twist- that's Godhand Teru in a nutshell.

The slightly longer version in this short drama (Only six episodes) is about a bumbling medical student finding help from beyond the grave when facing life threatening operations. Predictably, there are skeptics especially since Clumsy Teru, as the character is nicknamed continues to fumble his way to becoming a doctor like his famous father before him. These episodes touch on such issues as the insensitivity of doctor-patient relationships and the daily trials of medical students everywhere.

A formidable cast was chosen especially Hiraoko Yuta as the titular protagonist whose goofy, cheerful personality seems at odds with his transformation into a focused serious surgeon when the occasion calls. I was particularly charmed by Watabe Atsuro as the Hospital's eccentric Director who probably had the best one liners in the entire series.

I do hope there is season 2. I think further plot development in the cases of Dr Kitami and the nurse Sakura could ass interesting twists to the overall plot.
