Doctor John

This is one of the great shows of 2019. Fantastic acting by the leads. It is a Suspense, thrilling, romantic, and heart warming medical drama. The show kept the momentum untill the last episode. The only thing I didn't like about the drama is the last episode. I am not saying the last episode was bad or not good enough. But I couldn't justify the action of the lead. (just my personal opinion). You will see what I am talking about when you watch it. But don't stop watching it just because of what I just said, because you might have a different opinion and also this is very good show you can't miss.

I would give a rating of 8.5. This is the second doctor role Ji sung is performing. It is a formula for a well received drama.

The first four episodes, I must confessed, is not extremely impressive. As an addict of medical drama my expectation is high. Hopefully we can see a new expression of medical drama.

Female lead has a pair of big eyes, making her acceptable by first impression.

In the drama Jisung, I believe, is deliberately acting in a low key. This suits the character of the role he is acting. His clothing is also very casual. I expect him wearing suit at least in delivering talk. I like more his surgeon look in New Heart.

The whole drama centred on euthanasia, rather than on case basis. It would be perfect if there are more different complicated cases, while tbe main theme is still on euthanasia.

No matter what, with the presence of Jisung, the drama is very enjoyable to me.

Interesting story on a doctor's obsession in the diagnosis and cure of often-neglected rare diseases and a good discussion on euthanasia in Asia.

In reality though, with limited medical staff and resources, most patients will not receive as much attention and diagnosis - which was also somewhat depicted in the initial episodes.

When like me, you are from a country where euthanasia is actually legal and accepted widely across the population this series becomes a bit annoying because they keep debating about it and it just doesn't make sense to me.

Otherwise the series is interesting and the acting is great, just a bit of an irrelevant subject to me.

It was a pretty interesting drama about pain medicine and issues about euthanasia. I thought it would be similar with beautiful mind of Janghyuk but it was different. I kinda started to like the premise but then it becomes boring in the middle that I had to skip some parts. The chemistry between him and her leading lady is not much either.
