Asada is still at his best saving patient's life without reserve

Pace seems to pick up right from the word go. Great start. The first episode was so fast that I had to rewatch it again at the end of the drama. The following episodes put the team under pressure again. The intensity was there. Asada and two of his team were banished to a small hospital to continue their work to save rejected patients from Meichin Hospital. They were forced to form a new team with rejected doctors and technician who had lost their interest in work. The struggle Asada had to endure to bring confidence in his new team was painfully painted out in each episode. The characters, both patients and doctors, were extremely well played by all the supporting actors. Each would absorb you into their past which made them who they were. Uchida Yuki was particularly good as the financial consultant wheeling and dealing behind the scene. She added spice and new challenges faced by the team. She had the audience guessing right to the end to find out where her loyalty was. Though little comments were made for Season 2, it will remain a very memorable drama for me.Having sung "Believe" in season 1, the new song by AI in season 2 "ONE" was outstanding. I get to know her songs for the first time, 14 years after they were sung. It has been a great journey of discovery for me ever since I started watching Japanese drama less than one year ago.
