Cha Yo Han is a doctor of anaesthesiology sentenced to three years in prison for euthanizing a patient with stomach cancer to end pain who was actually a murderer. During this period, he meets Kang Shi Young, a medical school top student who quit after failing to save her father from an accident. She volunteers as a prison doctor in which Cho Yo Han is kept and eventually with his words of motivation, she comes back to her field and joins the hospital as a resident anesthesiologist where now Cha Yo Han is working as the youngest professor after serving his time in prison. He is called “ten seconds” for his ability to recognize his patients’ pain in ten seconds from the time of entering the room to his chair and is extremely rude.
Together they work to solve the mysterious pains of their patients suffering from chronic diseases. Meanwhile, they encounter their own human problems such as facing their pasts, a prosecutor keeping an eye on Cha Yo Han for his past crime, and Cha Yo Han’s CIPA, chronic insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis, making him unaffected by pain and temperature.
CAST AND ACTING:
Doctor John's (2019) main character is Ji Sung (Cha Yo Han) who is a talented actor who made this drama all the more worthwhile to watch. Li Se Young (Kang Shi Young) managed to impress me with her innate acting qualities. Together they both brought the drama to heights.
REVIEW:
The drama Doctor John was mesmerizing. It had all the medical terms and rare diseases yet wasn’t difficult to understand as it explained every single illness. It has the potential to make you aspire to become a doctor yourself with its superb screenplay. It also had a great storyline and showed not only physical pain but also mental trauma and how only sharing and recognizing it can reduce it was said
"Recognizing and sharing someone else's grief is my last prescription for our anguish that will remain as long as we live," Cha Yo Han says.
The show also portrayed each character as a motivation on how they face their fears and miseries and teaches us eventually the worthy lesson of life that humans are born with pain and they will die with pain hence they should not ignore this integral part of life and face it with utmost courage to make it easy. Cha Yo Han’s words “Every pain has a cause” really touched my heart. The drama is a perfect reflection of anybody’s everyday life problems and showcases how doctors are humans too. The drama is a rare gem not only in the history of K-dramas but ever made in history.
All the arguments between characters stem from how each faces the world and the discussions were impressive. The immaculate storyline, flawless scripting, mind-blowing cast, perfect acting, and eye-catching cinematography made it all more entertaining to watch though I feel a lack of attention was paid by the director and crew at some points. This drama is a piece of work and should not only be on your to-watch list but on the top of it.
