Just as the prequel was, Doctor X 2 is just as marathon-worthy. The storyline is basically the same as the first Doctor X, but with new characters and a slightly different setting (this season, Daimon is in the main branch of the University Hospital). There are some things I like better about this season than it's predecessor, and there are some things I like better in the prequel. First of all, I really love the addition of Nishida Toshiyuki. He is hilarious and does not fail to deliver in his role at all. The other new characters I felt indifferent toward, and slight irritation, but they were alright. I liked the fact tht there was another female doctor besides Daimon, and tht she was in a position of power. And I really loved the character appearances from season 1, even if they were few and far between. And I think I may have enjoyed the surgeries and patients from this season more than the last. Now the things I didn't really like about this season. I just don't understand how these characters never learn tht Daimon Michiko just never fails. Never. She proves her skill and expertise time and time again, yet the other characters continue fighting her on every single surgery. It's mind-blowing how they are still against her. It's actually kind of disappointing how the storyline is the same. It's still entertaining, but I probably would've rated this drama higher if they explored different aspects of the story. Like explain in further detail why the doctors known as Doctor X are considered evil (I just don't get tht), or more about her father, or how Akira lost his medical license, or a number of other things. Again, I think tht this is a fantastic drama to marthathon. Despite the fact tht it's ttly unrealistic, Doctor X 2 is extremely hopeful, and I find tht so important in dramas. It's the main reason why I love this series. I think it's so cool tht Daimon has the ability to perform any surgery, no matter how crazy it is, and have it be a complete success. She's not just talking out her own ass when she says she never fails, and actually means it. It's empowering (especially for women) in a way, and it makes me want to work harder. Doctor X 2 is a good watch.
