Chen Hui is a medical school graduate with Autism. He has superior intelligence but is not good at expressing himself. After he came to Songjia Hospital to work in the surgery department, he did not pay attention to human feelings and proper expressions. In the process of treating patients, he was often misunderstood and complained about by patients and family members, causing the hospital committee to question his medical qualifications. Chen Hui must now prove himself during the inspection period before he can continue to work in the surgery department. (Source: Chinese = Baidu || Translation = kisskh) Edit Translation

A decent adaptation of "The Good Doctor"

Firstly, this is an adaptation of the KRDrama, The Good Doctor, where the main character is an autistic savant and not suffering from Asperger's.

At only 16 episodes, this is a relatively short drama and a rather different medical drama, where it's about the main character struggles with autism and his insecurities.

While the description on MDL states that it's Asperger's syndrome, this is not true and Asperger's is not mentioned anywhere in the drama at all. There is also another review criticizing the drama solely because Asperger's syndrome is not portrayed well in the drama, which again, is based on incorrect information.

In all the adaptions of the Good Doctor and The US Drama, the main character has autism, and never Asperger, and it should be the same for this adaptation as well. As the description is translated by another MDL user, it should be a mistranslation as Asperger's is on the spectrum of Autism (probably machine translated).

That said, this drama does has it's difference from the other counterparts. Ignoring the obvious medical cases, plot and characters, one main difference this drama has, is that most, if not all of the characters in the show are very, very encouraging and supportive of the MC compared to it's other iterations where the MC has to constantly prove himself, which makes this a very heartwarming drama.

Finally, the other reviewer solely criticizing the show for it's bad portrayal of Asperger's and gave it a very harsh score which I think is unfair, as again, it's never mentioned that the MC actually has Asperger's in the show and it should be a mistranslation on MDL's description as Asperger's and Autism are both on on the Autism Spectrum and very similar.

A Masterpiece

I didn’t think I’d be calling this a 'masterpiece' by the end of the series. I use that word veryy carefully, but this series truly deserves it. Every episode was so meaningful and heart-touching.

Their friendships, team spirit, diverse personalities, realistic struggles, moments of sadness, and painful farewells… everything was perfect. I cried during most episodes and even when I didn’t, my heart still ached, not just because of the deaths, but because of how every scene, even the smallest, touched my heart. I felt completely connected to these characters. I loved the plot, the acting, the directing and everything!

Thanks to WanYi, I got to watch this masterpiece. <3
