There was a not a moment in the series that was lacking. From the great cast to the great storytelling. My heart was pounding each ep as if I was the one who had to perform the surgeries.

The lead actor, Sakaguchi Kenji is my favorite actor in a dorama at this point. This is the first thing I have seen him in and now I will be watching every season of Iryu Team Medical Dragon. The write up for the actor on his details page states "He has a unique blend of macho and irresistibleness..." honestly this is so accurate there is nothing more to say. He played the character of Asada to believable perfection. The remaining cast is great as well and my favorite character outside of Asada was Dr. Kito. The BOSS BITCH of the ER department. Exquisitely acted by Natsuki Mari; the woman owns her screen time.

This show also, has one of the best comeuppances of a character I hate that I have ever seen. Loved every moment of that!!

This was the best medical drama I have watched in a long time! PERIOD. I cannot think of a better medical drama than this and only early seasons of American drama ER come close!!
