This drama tries to give us another perspective in medical field, where we commonly only know doctors and nurses. I loved this drama try to break away from "1 episode, 1 patient" pattern and by doing that it became less predictable and of course more interesting. All the cases are well structured and very interesting, it's not just about medicine but sometimes also expanded to mental health too.
Satomi Ishihara is brilliant as usual, while both Kei Tanaka and Yuki Sakurai did a good job portraying tough-on-the-outside-but-caring seniors. I also liked Narita Ryo's acting as Onozuka. The actors/actresses for the patients are also mostly very natural in showing skepticism or holding their (wrong) views on the treatment/medicines.
That being said, while this drama involves a lot of human emotion and interaction with illness, I did not feel like super emotional in most of the cases. Like I have sympathy to the stories, but most of them somehow lack a bit for me- usually medical dramas which involves emotional stories will easily drives me close to tears. The music did not help in bringing the feel too, although I loved the main theme.
So overall it is a good drama and I still recommend you to watch it despite the shortcomings since the concept is quite different from the usual medical dramas.
