Trigger Warning: Assault, Violence, Psychological Trauma, Blood

[First Impression (Eps1-4)] Yes, I'm watching yet another medical series. It gets really interesting in Ep2. 

This series is based on the 2013 kdrama, Good Doctor

Note: Subs are as expected for this one - timing is a bit off, medical terms can get messy, and the text that appears has no subs. I highly recommend using a text recognition app to translate the hard subs and onscreen text.

[Actors/ActressesZhang Wan Yi is on a roll this year. I'm actually here for Jiang Pei Yao. I am also delighted to see Yang Hao Yu here. (The more he flips out over things, the more I chortle. He was also a doctor in Hilarious Family.)

[Behind the Scenes

→ Wang Kai's pens. He is also a troll. xD 
→ Chen Hui is always eating apples and carrying this huge bottle of water.
→ Jiang Pei Yao is having issues with her shoes
→ Ep5. Such a calm baby. Chen Hui: "Dr. Liu, your old house is on fire." 
→ Ep6Rehearsal operation scene with the actress patient. This Liu Ge scene is hilarious.  
→ Ep10. Chen Hui spending the day with Fan Qi Qi.
 
[Ending] Happy. Almost everyone keeps their post.

Reviewer: FanFanX
Date: January 2024
How could I resist a series with Jiang Pei Yao as FL? There is no romance, which I can accept. However, I have reservations about the presentation of an autistic person in this very narrow perspective. Zhang Wan Yi's acting isn't the issue here. 

 In the beginning, the medical cases (patients) and the team’s ability to eventually find a resolution was interesting. They spent a good amount of time making this look like a plausible medical set for a proper medical drama. But in the last four eps or so, they switched to the doctors and residents’ personal lives which felt very disjointed from the previous eps. The ending felt unfinished which makes me wonder if they cut out more material than what aired.


One (1/5)
