Simply Beautiful
Part of the reason why healing medical dramas will always be one of my lowkey favourite genres is because of the way they handle the topic of the "Life and death cycle".
.
We are born into this world. We live our youth fiercely. Study, graduation, career, job — we take each step of life without knowing what the future holds. Along the way, we form connections with people and rely on them during hard times. Some call it family, some call it friends, and for some, it’s a complete stranger.
Eventually, we start growing old. By then, some people meet their soulmate and decide to start a family of their own, while others choose to live alone. To each their own, we say. No matter which path we choose, we keep moving forward, hoping for a better future ahead.
And then, one day, we suddenly realize that we are not young anymore. Our bodies have grown weaker, our energy drains faster and our perspective on life changes. In a way, we begin guiding the future generations. One by one, we see our loved ones leave us — family, friends, relatives, you name it. We slowly grow accustomed to saying goodbye. And that’s when it truly hits us that we are no longer young.
And just like that, a time comes when we begin waiting for our own turn to say goodbye. That’s how it is — for me, for us, for everyone.
After death, some people continue to live on in the hearts of their loved ones, some don’t. But that, too, is part of the cycle of life.
.
Medical dramas that portray this side of humanity really move me.
"The 19th Medical Chart" was that kind of drama for me. It felt slow at times, but once you understand the message conveyed in each episode, you can’t help but feel deeply moved by it.
I truly hope there will be a season 2 of this drama. I, for one, would absolutely love to see more stories about humans like this!
A big thank you to the entire team for creating such a meaningful drama — and a very big thank you to my favourites, Matsujun and Koshiba Fuka, for bringing the characters of Dr. Tokushige and Dr. Takino to life!
