Greetings, dramatic fanatics....I am interested in finding out if the drama, Dr. Koto's Clinic has been subtitled in English, fansubbed or otherwise aired with subtitles on broadcast television somewhere? If so, does any one have a copy or know where I might be able to get one? I enjoyed some of Kou Shibasaki's work and I am interesting in watching this drama because of her.

Haha. Yes, you are quite right...I have not visited the board with the same frequency as before....I have been quite busy taking care of things in the real world, as it where.
Sorry, can't help you with that Dr Koto question. Just needed to "holla" at you. :beaten:
Hmm...I suspect there isn't a subtitled version of this show but I thought I'd give it a try. In any event, I appreciate the "shout out." :bow:
Hope all is well in the pristine state of Hawaii...where the liquor flows, the dramas show, and the LV collections grow & grow.
This was a very average drama. Spoiler — click to revealThe story was quite normal: a doctor makes a mistake (which wasn't his fault at all), and as a result he runs to a remote island to "start" over. On the island he has to win over the hearts of the locals by doing a surgery every episode through which he manages to save every secondary character.
The plot was a bit fantastical. Most of the surgeries would have been impossible to do given the circumstances, and things went just a little too perfectly. Some events could have been heartwarming, but the incredulous quality of the event took away from the emotions.
The reason I'm giving this drama a rating of 7 is because I love the ending Theme Song, and also because I was completely captivated by Yoshioka Hidetaka. I've watched him in Kita no Kuni Kura, where he was just a boy of ten, and without knowing he was the one playing Dr. Koto, I recognized him right away. I also love Shibasaki Kou, which may also explain my rating, but also because the drama wasn't BAD, just not great.
Every one like dramas like me,
The Japanese drama as we know it today began evolving sometime in the early to mid-nineties. Romances like long vacation (and anything with Kimura Takuya in it really) catapulted the industry forward. While others, like Great Teacher Onizuka and Trick, diversified it, making it varied, complex and interesting.
