#Today I wanna write about medical Korean Drama Doctor John. 

I took this article from website https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_John_(TV_series)

Doctor John (Korean: 의사요한; RR: Uisayohan; lit. Doctor Yo-han) is a 2019 South Korean television series starring Ji Sung, Lee Se Young, Lee Kyu Hyung and Hwang Hee. It is based on the Japanese novel On Hand of God by Yo Kusakabe and aired on SBS from July 19 to September 7, 2019.

A recurring theme throughout the series is the debate over euthanasia.

Cha Yo-han (Ji Sung) is a doctor of anesthesiology. He is arrogant, but he is a genius at his work. Kang Si-young (Lee Se Young) is a resident of anesthesiology who works with Cha Yo-Han. She is smart, warm, and listens carefully to her patients. People, with mysterious acute or chronic pain, come to the hospital. There, Cha Yo-han and Kang Shi-young try to find the causes of their pain.

• Ji Sung as Cha Yo-han / John Cha
  • Park Shi-wan as young Yo-han

A talented anesthesiologist who spent three years in prison for performing euthanasia on a dying patient whose pain he could not reduce. He is often called "Ten Seconds" as he can discover one's disease very quickly.

• Lee Se Young as Kang Shi-young

A second-year resident who was a top student at medical school. She took a break during her studies after she could not save her father in an accident. She decided to come back to the hospital after working at the prison where she met Yo-han.

• Lee Kyu Hyung as Son Seok-ki

A prosecutor who is against the practice of euthanasia. He was present during Yo-han's trial and wanted to sentence him to ten years in prison. He holds a grudge against the doctor who ended the life of his son's murderer.

• Hwang Hee as Lee Yoo-Joon

He is a fellow of the Anesthesiology Department. He first wanted to prove Yo-han wrong as the doctor corrected his misdiagnosis twice when he was an inmate but eventually decided to learn from him instead.

When I heard about this drama before it aired in July 2019, I said to myself that I should watch this drama. 

I also asked my friend to watch it, because my feeling said that this drama was interested to watch. At the begining, she didn't believe what I said and refused to watch. But after some episodes were aired, she told me that she interested to watch this drama. 😅😅😅

Before, I have told you that I like medical, thriller and romance drama. So, my reason liked this drama because of:

1. It was a medical drama

2. It was base on the novel

But this drama was forced to end with 32 episodes (duration 30 minutes each episode) so any storylines were not detailed to show. 🤔🤔🤔
