Six months after the
Batista incident, Taguchi Kohei (Ito Atasushi) is still working in the Special
Complaint Department. When a former patient of his gets admitted to the Emergency
Room he is called upon and meets the famous ‘General Rouge’ Hayami Koichi
(Nishijima Hidetoshi) a man famous for accepting all patients and never letting
anyone rest. At the same time he stumbles upon Shiratori Keisuke (Nakamura
Toru) who is back to do a compulsory audit on the hospital, and becomes fairly
interested in Hayami whom he seems to have a former relationship with. When
some doubtful documents pop up, Shiratori makes Taguchi join the Emergency Room
team as the ‘Mental Care’ doctor, meaning dealing with the mental states of the
patients, but also helping them overcome their emotions. With Taguchi there it
gives Shiratori the ability to check up on Hayami, and to find out what really
is going on…
Again the great thing
about dramas is that you can get to know the characters and their situations
better than in a movie, and that is what I think makes the biggest difference
between the movie and drama. Though the movie was great the drama sort of is
much more detailed and much more heartfelt - kind of lets you like the characters
more, even though they are not all that great. The duo has grown even more on
me - like Sherlock and Watson - they have these comic moments and usually work
extremely well together, yet they are complete opposites. And honestly I like
season 2 a bit better than season 1 :)
But you can watch
season 2 without having watched season 1, though season 1 is great watch too..
