What's More Powerful, Belief or Love?
The story's main topic is Euthanasia. Based on Cornell Law School, Euthanasia, sometimes called mercy killing, is the ending of a person’s life who is terminally ill and suffering in pain. So, if you do not want this kind of topic in the film that you're watching or you're not open to this kind of topic, you may kindly leave this series alone.
The story started with Wasan, as he came back home to see his terminally ill mother. On the way home, he got into a minor accident so he needs to go to the hospital. Unfortunately, his mother died even before he got home. Their family and neighbors got curious of the mother's sudden death because the doctor of this small town and the doctor assigned to the mother, named Kan, said that she will live up to 3-4 months more. Wasan's mother sparked his curiosity to investigate the rising cases of the death of the terminally ill patients in that town.
The story revolved around finding-out who is the killer. Throughout the story, you will know and see who is really the killer. As someone who also kind of believes in the positive side of Euthanasia, I strongly supported Dr. Kan, since he is only doing the favor of his patients. Imagine also what he is going through whenever those patients are asking him to be killed through the injection of potassium chloride.
What made me gasped was the involvement of the director and pharmacist of the hospital and their relationship to each other. As we walk through the story, we saw that the director and the pharmacist has a relationship and loves each other. It is just so sad that since the pharmacist fantasizes Dr. Kan's doings and the belief of Euthanasia, he killed his lover (director). Yes, the testimony he said to the polices in the first part is not true and it will later be revealed that he is continuing injecting potassium chloride to the patients. But he was doing it wrong, so Dr. Kan said that it was not euthanasia.
Another intriguing moment was the involvement of the forensic analyst something, named Rin. She really made me mad. I know that she is only doing her job as a doctor, but since I'm team Dr. Kan, I really got mad at her. But later on the last part of the series, her background and relation to Dr. Kan's professor really made me sad.
When it comes to Captain Wasan and Dr. Kan's chemistry and storyline together was really great. Their chemistry is really on point. Their acting are really amazing. The way they portrayed their emotions, especially them crying made me so emotional. I just do not like how Dr. Kan can easily break his anger after arguing with Captain Wasan. I know that this is partly fiction, but in real life, when a person is interrogating and saying that they do not trust you, your initial reaction was to feel hurt. I also know and understand that Dr. Kan was in the wrong side, but please give me an aspect wherein he will ignore Captain Wasan for moments.
Let me also talk about the nurse that is always with Dr. Kan, she was really amazing and a great addition to the plot of the series. Without her, the story will not be complete, I believe.
In totality, everything is perfect. I love this series so much. While watching, I realized how good it was that is why everybody recommends and talks about it. I believe that there is no need for a part 2, but a special episode might be better. Watch it now! It is really good.
