Good Enough

[PennyReviews · 7/10 · 21 September 2018]

Dare I say this one was better than the korean? Well, there are some really solid reasons why. First of all, there was no romance. In the korean, the love story kind of ruined the drama, but here, they kept it clean and focused on the medical cases and the lead's struggles to succeed. In addition, the cases were plenty and they were completed in one episode and not dragged for two and three. Finally, it gave off more emotion than the korean one. So, overall, it is worth watching. Kento seems more mature now and he actually performed his character well enough. The rest of the cast did great work as well. My only regret is that the final episode was a bit boring and it didn't coclude the story nicely.

Impressive For A Remake

Good Doctor is originally a drama from South Korea (cast. Joo Won, Moon Chae Won), the story like the synopsis tells there are no significant different between Korean and Japanese version only the Japanese version makes it shorter and get direct to the point as always like other Japanese dramas which I think is good. The difference is I still remember I was crying hard when I was watching Joo Won's character struggle with his life as a doctor and autistic person while on the Japanese version I tend to cry while watching the patients' case, It shows the acting of the Korean actor (Joo Won ) is better than the Japanese actor, still the supporting actors like Ueno Juri and Fujiki Naohito whom are senior actors are truly giving life to this drama. It's a happy-ending drama and the medical case/the conflict mainly over for each episode so the story is not dragging even though the original version tend to give deeper feelings for each case but yeah Korean tend to drag the story as not really focusing enough to the main problem.
