Thank you for reading!

Thanks for a kind comment and sharing your thoughts! I know the pain about the subs. In Poland, only the first three seasons are translated, so I have to find the time to translate the rest for my mom who also loves Doctor X, but does not understand English.

I like them so much!

Let's just say his confidence boosts whenever Director Hiruma is not around. (Nevertheless, I liked that he shook up in Series 6 finale and did the right thing).

If it would have been otherwise, just imagine this:
*Director giving Ryoko some intructions on the set*
*Ryoko looks at him enraged with her wide eyes*
"Baka! Watashi, shippai shinai no de!" and she walks away in her stylish walk xD

Ok, everyone has the right to their own opinion. To me, House M.D. and Doctor X are two completely opposite extremes. House takes up cases just because he likes riddles (one painful episode "Lockdown" even emphasizes this concept). Daimon, on the other hand, repeatedly states that she just wants to save as many lives as possible. Indeed, you raised some thought-provoking concepts, but I do not think that House M.D. is the direct inspiration behind Doctor X.

Of course, as it is stated at the end of every drama, this is a fictional story. Just as you wrote, Daimon can serve as a relief for real world employees, but (in my opinion) she also has a motivational function (that is, each indivdual can better himself). Now, I'm getting into the spoilers, but in the penultimate episode of Series 6, she (quite despairingly) explains what she means by saying every time "Watashi, shippai shinai no de". To me, Daimon is not a Greek demi-god (even though her name may imply that) but more like a Jungian hero archetype. She is very much human, she cares for other people, she is afraid, but each time she tries to overcome the darkness by giving her best. Not only Series 3, but also Series 6 gives a glimpse of her past. She basically survived hell like from "Apocalypse Now". That is why she does not want to lose.

Well, I don't know if Ryoko hates playing Doctor X, but if that were truly the case, then it would have transpired in her performance. By wishing her more Doctor X seasons, I do not want to limit her as an actress. It is her own career and she has the right to do whatever she wants.

If you think I'm wrong, then I can't argue with your opinion. I just saw more of a connection between Doctor X and other medical dramas out there than with mythology.

PS Interesting medical cases are what got me into the show and, in my view, this factor stays strong throughout Series 1-6.

Reika! I could not have written it without you! BIG Thank You!

Hold on :) I have seen a couple of interviews with Ryoko and she seems to be very reserved and modest. I guess that the managers try to brand her as a rebel, but she is not like that in real life.

Yeah, and Series 4-6 are very good!

You're right. The special episode was a bit weak.
I also like Mamoru "Kin-chan" Hara, but no. 1 in my heart is Ebina. I feel so sorry for him in each season :)

Thank you! I really like Superfly's songs as well.

I strongly hope Asahi will continue making Doctor X. I can't get enough of this drama!

Have read it while making my research. Thanks for writing it!

Thanks for the comment. Seasons 3 to 5 are a rollercoaster ride :)

You're right, supporting characters are great! I love how they develop throughout the series.

Ok, I understand. Thanks for the comment.

You're welcome :)

Michiko is the greatest!

Thanks! Your comment even rhymed :D

Doctor X definitely deserves more love!
