Doctor John

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.

I generally don't like medical dramas. But i love Ji Sung's acting so i gave it go and ... it is so good. There a few things that doesn't make sense at first but you understand them a few episodes later. Lee Se-young's acting is also really good. And it is not one of these dramas that just consists of love triangles , childhood traumas and such. It has a good plot and the OST is also good. You should definetely check this out.

Absolutely fabulous medical drama! Incredible story: I did not expect such an amazing narrative! Every episode was completely captivating. The entire cast was so incredibly talented: the chemistry among all was unbelievably enthralling and endearing! Ji Sung's performance as Dr. John was extraordinary: he is such an exceptionally brilliant actor. Bravo to the cast, crew & writers for a wonderful emotionally riveting show! Loved it!

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.
