The beginning was very good but story did not pick up later on. I like how the story depicts the dark side of medical healthcare and leaves viewers feeling paranoid about trusting doctors. Issues are very real and thought-provoking. Idealism vs practicality.

I was kind of turned off by the darkness of the first episode, I almost didn't watch the rest. Now though, this is one of my favorites. The portrayal of life as a new doctor is so painfully honest, Saito Sensei was so earnest too. Tsumambuki Satoshi did an awesome job here. He's definitely one of my favorite actors ever.

First couple of episodes were slow, but OK. However, the story about this medical resident gets old quickly. The theme of him being a heroic figure who fights for patients is repetitive and too fictional for me to relate. His personality would have made a horrible doctor in the real world... Residency is about learning quickly, but he still does not get it in the last disc. I will recommend it to those who wants get an intro look to japan's hospital or watch an idealistic (sometimes disillusioned) young doctor matures... Don't know what the ending is like.

This drama is about a new doctor fresh from med school and we see the good, bad, and ugly of the Japanese hospital system. Of course a lot of things rotate around money. The main character has to work part-time at night to make some cash but he just loses it. From there he has to figure out what it is to be a doctor. The shows pretty slow and the stories are pretty boring but if you like the actor and actress it is somewhat viewable.
