Highly recommend
With an attractive plot, the screenwriter has built a social context, the difficult life of illegal immigrants in Taiwan. The famous cast, top-notch acting contributed to the success of the film. The camera angles and film colors are truly artistic, touching the emotions of the viewer.
The main actor in the film really transformed into the character, to fully portray the inner self of an illegal immigrant who always obeys the right thing, lives and works with a conscience. Always ready to help others, lives uprightly and is extremely honest. I like thí film so much and highly recommend to you guys.

From a Vietnamese audience
Have been following Phat Lien Binh more than 5 years. I'm so proud that now he can work with international actors. I always trust his choice, and The Outlaw Doctor is a amazing series that I can't wait for the next episode. Congratulations to the cast and team production for creating such a thrilled but also empathised drama series. Taiwanese drama always has such an incredible script. They can deliver stories about social issues but still can know how to touch their audience's hearts. As a Vietnamese audience, I'm so happy that Taiwan and Vietnam collaborate to create this drama series. Love, form Vietnam.
A Must-Watch!
This drama is an emotional knockout. Every scene feels raw and authentic, with characters that are so well-written they feel real. Lien Binh Phat absolutely shines in his role his expressions, his body language, everything is spot on. Chang Chun Ning is equally fantastic, bringing depth and warmth to her character. The storytelling is tight, with no unnecessary drama, just real, human emotions that hit hard. The moral dilemmas, the societal challenges, the personal sacrifices, all of it is handled so well that you can't help but be fully invested.
What makes this show stand out is how effortlessly it blends intense moments with heartfelt ones. It makes you think, it makes you feel, and most importantly, it stays with you long after the credits roll. If this isn't a 10/10 drama, I don't know what is.

Worth to enjoy
I've always been a big fan of crime series and movies/films in the medical field. I've watched quite a lot of films from the US and Korean, but this is the first time ever to watch a Taiwanese one.
Overall, I think the story-telling of this film is very good, easy to understand and fascinating to follow. Regardless of the criminal or medical factors, the film does really well. Also, the actors did a relatively good job in delivering the characters' emotion and situation to viewers, especially the main character Pham Van Ninh.
I got the chance to meet Lien Binh Phat in person in his Fancine in Hanoi and listen to him sharing about the experience and stories in the process of shooting the film. He said that he has a wall of scripts in his hotel room. Each piece of paper is 1 scene, and after every shoot, he would remove it as an achievement. He also explained that doing this helps him stayed in character, since the role Pham Van Ninh has really deep and complicated mentality. I think that is an indication of how dedication the actor has for his character, and for me, it is the quality of an actor should have.
After watching the first 4 episodes, I feel very attracted by the story. The filmmakers know how to enhance the sound and visual effects to make viewers focus on the significant situations.
However, there's only 1 thing that makes me a little uncomfortable - the actors' English. As an English learner, I don't like it very much, but as a viewers, I understand that it's the intention of the director.
In short, I think everyone who has an interest in crime/medic series should watch this film. I guarantee the experience is so good you just want to watch more ^^

Good movie, should be known more
Very good, I really like this movie. Good content, beautiful actors, there are very thrilling scenes. Entertainment, besides, also conveyed humanistic messages about human love, empathy and compassion. It is not only an entertainment film with suffocating medical details, but also a lively, merciful slice about the lives of expatriates. The tears, the nostalgia of the skin, the burdens of livelihood are shown in an emotional way.
The film creates deep sympathy with the audience. Lien Binh Phat has excellently performed the role of Dr. Pham Van Ninh, a talented, rich man. He combination of Vietnamese cast and Taiwan (China) creates a harmonious overall. Can't take your eyes off !!!
