Doctor X: Mafia in White Episode 8

Honestly by now I don't get the reason…

Honestly by now I don't get the reason why people in this site went as far as putting higher rating to episodes that weren't even released yet, giving a false impression that the drama was going well. It's obvious where this episode took inspiration from the original plot - despite the reference to yet another SK's real-life incident. It's the plot that was from the original episode 4 as well as the pediatric episode from the Jdrama. But that's as far as the homage goes since the Kdrama only took the barebones of the otherwise interesting plots into the most uninspirational plot ever written so far. Unlike Kaji who at least get to show his good skill in laparoscopic surgery, Bae barely does anything notable aside from running his mouth on how he could've performed a surgery. And instead of the plot with Jounouchi's ex husband as well as a child patient who was thought to only pretend to fall sick to gain attention, we get this episode where the illness was easily identified. And we're served with yet more filler scenes that does nothing but reduce the kdrama characters as mere caricatures of the original. And you'd think by now the Kdrama would've already solidify the plot of the main characters as well as the Guseo docs, but instead we get yet more random appearances of random one-off characters while barely expanding the plot of the recurring characters.

She's a genius. **Now what?**Because creating an admirable character and telling an interesting story are two very different things.**Eight episodes in, Doctor X still suffers from the same problem: too much admiration, not enough drama.**
