Lol why is this show so graphic these days? but SO GOOD. I love Kim Tae Hee sfm. Her scenes have been more intense than most of the action sequences. She adds a lot of strength and warmth to Yeo Jin that aren't in the writing imo.

The last few episodes were so underwhelming, even the product placement is really obvious. Just another proof that I should avoid medical dramas after Doctor Stranger.

Koreans are bad at doing medical dramas. If you want realistic ones, Japanese medical dramas are pretty much accurate with real life situation. :)

Korea is not that bad, but yeah...Japanese Drama is clearly shows what happen inside medical .___.

It was that bad. Like I can pick what's wrong with pretty much every medical scene in this drama. And I have encounter more than once in kdramas that they even put the oxygen mask upside down. UPSIDE DOWN! X_X

Okay, probably you are right. Good doctor (despite how boring it is) probably wasnt that bad..

any recs? i only watched code blue and it was zzz

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

haha I wasn't a Yamapi fan so I have yet to watch that drama. But my sister said the medical stuffs in Code Blue is pretty accurate.

My fave will be JIN/JIN 2. I love the drama and the medical part of the drama is so amazing! Or Iryu (Medical Team Dragon) -- I watched it long long time ago but remember how good it was. :)

i'm not a big fan of yamapi either but i really like gakky (aragaki yui) so i tried. idk about medical accuracy but the characters were pretty lifeless and that's dealbreaker.

about jin, i read dramabeans' recaps of korean ver and the drama seemed so ridic and character so dumb it's a wonder he still lives. but apparently japanese is way better, so i'll def check it out. thank you :)

Dont you ever touch Jin Korean version since I only hear bad things about the drama.

The Japanese ones are soo good. Very popular when it was aired and the ratings were really high for both seasons. Plus, I like Ayase Haruka so I enjoyed the drama very much. The second girl kicks ass so you gonna like her too. :)
