A heartwarming slice of life via the experiences of a grumpy pediatrician
Matsushita Kouhei takes us on a heartwarming journey into the life of a pediatrician turned school nurse when he is banned from his hospital until he learns empathy. He has no choice but to succeed in his temporary new position at a local elementary school and greatly improve his bedside manner or he will not be employed as a pediatrician. This drama has a wonderful cast of young actors that bring you into their stories and health conditions. We all get to watch these young children open the heart of the grinch doctor as he learns to take in a lot more than just their ailments. He eventually learns to take notes of their surroundings, family situations and mindset; how the power of the spirit and mind assist in both getting to the source of the ailment and in the healing process. The children educate him in social awareness and their teachers in seeing who they really are through the doctor. This drama brings you to tears and makes your heart full as the stories and experiences are shared and finally understood. The students and professionals head towards graduation with new purpose and insight as the story is brought full circle. I hope far more people will watch this because it is such a wonderful slice of life drama.Was this review helpful to you?

This is a very interesting drama. We get to see slices of life being gently tweaked to help individuals have better memories or results of specific points in time. The cases challenge our moral compass on many issues; ethics in workplace and sporting events; cyber bullying and mob mentality; dealing with predators at school and mass transit; rebellion with mentors; and family and friend relationships. This covers them all and we are swept away in a wonderful emotional ride that makes us stop and think as well as simply view. The cast does an amazing job of making you feel as well as see all the various scenarios. We are drawn into each story that is well choreographed with production to make the transitions from past to present smooth and believable. I knew Jiang Long was incredibly funny, but he plays serious roles well too. Bi Wen Jun was the stoic mentor and Bu Guan Jin the podcaster sister. They made a great trio of Time Agents and I thoroughly enjoyed their storytelling and acting skills. The support cast was excellent and every case came alive with their incredible talents combined making their stories heartwarming and sometimes heartrending. I shed many tears over some of these cases…happy and sad. I am hoping for a second season and for this very under rated drama to get much more viewing. It is that good. I also enjoyed all the music.Was this review helpful to you?
