This drama is very disappointing.........what kind of script is that? No major storyline.......it's just a diary of a hospital........just talk a few minutes on each patient taken care of by each doctor.........It'd be much better if they can focus more on a patient or doctor.......too many ppl and too many story to talk about.......and so each only share a few minutes of the show.......and there's barely any connection between each episode......you don't miss anything if you skip 1 episode........

And I really have problem with Yamapi's parts. Why he appears that little time in each episode? Just appear about 15mins in each episode, and most of the time he just stand silently among the big group......And nothing is talked about his personal background.....I really don't see why Fuji claimed him as the 1st main character of the drama. And I see ppl commenting on his acting..........come on, what kind of acting do you expect to see when he only appears several seconds in each shot?

^ I suppose you'll be changing your username, ne?

I hope this doesn't end up as a disappointment like Last Friends. Yeah, I also don't like Yamapi's character, he's so full of himself. And I want Toda Erika and Aragaki Yui's characters to succeed in the end.

Ellipses for the win.

...

Well, maybe Yamapi will break out of his cardboard acting box soon? Several seconds is cutting the guy short. He's kept the same facial expression for three episodes that I've watched.

Most of the time he just stand among the big group of ppl or say a few words like "yes", "I am sorry", "I know"...........what kind of facial expression you want to see when someone say these meaningless words? And the camera only aim on his face like couple seconds everytime.........what facial expression can he make? I don't deny Yamapi still need improvement on his acting.......but this is really ridiculously short time..........

I don't want to see the same facial expression all the time, I just want more from his character, simply put. I don't expect much more than a blank stare from Yamapi's character when he says simple lines, but I expect there will be more to his character later on. It's not a matter of how he expresses, but rather he hasn't expressed more yet. A little boring to watch the guy say a few words and show few expressions. It'd be nice if he showed more emotion, more expressions. His character is still flat, one-dimensional. I don't expect it to stay that way, I'm sure the writers have something in mind for Yamapi's character. It'll give him the opportunity to show some acting range, and hopefully make what is a boring character so far into a more interesting one.

Yea, the drama so far didn't talk much about Yamapi's character........like u said, 1-dimensional...........but I really doubt if the character will be developed much going forward.........1/4 of the drama series is done already.......and his character was remaining the same all this time.........it'd be weird if he suddenly change dramatically.........

switch topic.........I know there won't be any love story in this drama........but when I watched ep3, I just had a feeling that Erika's character started loving Yamapi's character................the way she look and talk w/ him...................^^;;

A smile would be asking a little too much out of him, no?

Actually, I'd be surprised if Yamapi's character cracked a smile anytime soon. That'd be strange at this point in the drama. I'd like to see more expressions, but a smile just doesn't fit the character. At least not yet. A little bit of angst and confusion would be nice, maybe the cool character will actually blow up and start yelling at everyone. I think that's where his character is headed. He may be calm and cool, but eventually he will reach a breaking point and snap. If he turns to a sarcastic prick like Dr. House, that'd be cool too. Just give the character a little more, add some background and he'll be ok, I hope. I mean I'm not watching this drama to bore myself, though this drama has done a good job of it so far.

The story seems non-existent; it's more what kind of patients they have to deal with during each episode. The overarching plot is that the four young doctors are candidates, and their work so far is supposed to help them, or hinder them, yet I don't get that feeling just yet. There isn't much background on any of the candidates either. Sure, we have an idea of what type of people they are, but learning a bit about their lives before would be nice.

I'm sure that having experienced the wonders of the fandom of others, and perhaps your own as well, you know that sometimes just having the actor or actress show up is reason enough for some. Convincing them otherwise is futile

Oh don't be so harsh on the pretty boy admirers, resident Ueno Juri fan, lest ye be reminded of the recent show you just watched!

I feel that Higa Manami did pretty well in this drama. Especially times when she gets angry.

At least there was Juri-chan's standout performance amidst the inconsistency and mediocrity of the script.
