Doctor John is such a healing medical
drama that inspires people to learn and understand pain through patients and the stories they have to tell.Cha Yo Han, our head doctor, is probably the most understanding doctors you will ever meet. He’s a great listener and a medical genius, but is diagnosed with CIPA,patient doesn’t feel pain or temperature and doesn’t have the ability to sweat.
I just love how he changes and inspires all the people he meets.
I loved the character dynamics in the cast as well. The group of residents in the pain management center were so cute.The dialogues in the show are exceptional and it is accompanied by great acting and screenplay.
The OST’s are definite additions to one’s playlist.
Despite it being heavy on the subject of diagnosis and treatment, it is easy to follow. The drama, on the whole, was deep-seated and emotive. With its optimistic and happy ending, Doctor John definitely tops my list of favourite medical dramas making it a must-watch.

Such a masterpiece.! It's Okay To Not Be Okay is more than just drama. It's A Life lesson.
The Acting, writing,music,screenplay, plot, the use of fairy tale metaphors, the chemistry between the actors, everything is just on another Level.A dark, whimsical but heartwarming drama, it follows a trio of characters.
Ko Muen Young is a children’s book author with antisocial personality disorder. She meets Moon Gang Tae who is a nurse working with psychiatric patients. Moon Gang Tae has an autistic brother, Sang Gang Tae who is a massive fan of Ko’s books.
The drama follows them as they become entangled in each others’ lives and grapple with the demons of their past.
Some dramas hook you immediately. Others, you tentatively tread the murky waters until it sucks you underneath. This one intrigued me right away with its opening scene. It opens up with animated illustrations very reminiscient of the whimisically dark tones of Tim Burton that sets the frame for the rest of the show’s themes surrounding mental health.
The drama deals with heavy themes, including mental illness and childhood trauma, but also centers on the healing of emotional wounds through relationships, making it a potentially rewarding but emotionally challenging.
