At Dogami Hospital the
rules are very simple: the doctors have the say, everyone else is just less
important. The main surgeons are incredibly self-centered and selfish. This
kind of pride-driven hospital has lost many patients and a lot of the rest of
the medical staff are not only fed up but also close to quitting. This all
changes when Sagara Kosuke (Sawamura Ikki) is hired as a new surgeon. At first
he seems humble, quiet and respecting of his fellow workers, but that changes when he
decides to go behind everyone’s backs and performs a surgery. As he is about to
get fired, the director of the hospital gets a hold of a video that was filmed during the
operation, and she desperately begs him to stay after watching it, giving him a
crazily high raise. Now his true colors seem to shine, he slowly but surely
tries to change the hospital. This doesn’t go well with the other surgeons especially
the ace surgeon Moriyama Suguru (Takashima Masanobu) who feels that the
newcomer is butting too much...
I wasn’t really
expectant of this drama for numerous of reasons: 1 I didn’t like the idea of
Ikki in a drama (have this dislike for him after I watched Black President) and
2 because it’s 8 episodes. Which is kind of funny: since I made up my mind to
watch it so I could change my perspective about Ikki, and I liked the fact that
I could watch this drama in one day. Also I really felt like a medical drama,
and this one did its job by giving me the things I wanted: medical, short and a
change in perspective (a little bit). I don’t know the actor Takashima Masanobu
acting as Moriyama, but he is weird. I don’t know if he was supposed to be
funny (I laughed A LOT), but he had disturbing facials and he shook too much
for an actor.
Anyways, the drama is
interesting and pretty charming, though I kind of felt it was a shame that the
idea was “too idealistic”, meaning Dr. Sagara is too focused on helping his
patients that he didn’t really realize what it did to his co-workers (even
though the drama showed it became better, it kind of is a lie if you ask me).
So all in all: a great
medical drama with good acting.
