Un doctor Strălucit (2013)

I have to say I'm really disappointed by this drama so far. I have only seen 4 episodes and at first I was so happy because my younger brother has autism and I got a feeling from the plot that it would show people how autistic people can live a normal life while dealing with their autism and showing off their great capabilities. But this drama unfortunately does not do that and portrays autism in a very negative light. I really dislike that the other doctors seem to bully the main character because of his autism(which seems stupid because they are not in a school playground but a hospital) but also because it seems because of his autism he can't do anything for himself and is deemed incapable of ever becoming a good doctor. It is really uncomfortable for me that this is the writers opinion of autism. Don't get me wrong I'm willing to give it a chance and I hope that soon he will be treated as an individual and a human being rather than a child. Lastly I just want to say I actually do like the actors and actresses I just find the plot of the show now very demeaning of autistic people and I kind of think that in the year of 2013 people are better than that and know people with disabilities are not stupid but just as capable as us in whatever they do!

Only the first episode has aired but already you can tell it will be a drama that will not leave us disappointed. The concept of the drama is new and refreshing. The main character played by Joo Won, a doctor with Savant's Syndrome, was beautifully written. I give mad applause to Joo Won for his acting, I will definitely be looking forward to what this show will offer in the future.

The cast looks pretty promising with many well known actors so there is no question of whether their acting will be able to hold up to the story line. And the story line...all I can say is grab those kleenex because between the laughing and intense medical scenes, there will be tears..a lots of them! Although you feel a strong need to pity Park Shi On, you can't help but feel like he will be able to withstand the sandstorm that is headed his way. I'm already emotionally invested in the story line and I have no doubt that anyone who watches it will also.

I have been looking forward to this drama and I was not disappointed in the first episode. This is fantastic! Joo Won is definately proven that he is more than a pretty face. I am a Korean drama fan but also a Developmental Disabilities professional. the writers, director, and Joo Won did a spot-on portrayal of an autistic savant.

Regarding the story, I love the back story given about Shi On and his brother. I am so happy to see Chun Ho Jin playing the teacher/mentor who risks his position as an advocate for Shi On. I am also looking forward to Moon Chae Won's Yoon Suh (she has already created a interesting character in the first episode) and I can't wait to see what kind of character Ko Chang Seok creates. I can't wait for more episodes!!

I really recommend to watch this drama, then watch US remake of same title. Both are so good!

I watched ‘My Sassy Girl’ and I liked ML. Then I found out he played ‘Good doctor’. I really enjoyed this drama. I am also watching American remake of ‘Good doctor’ and I kind of like US remake little better. But it is still wonderful human drama. I found out there are surgeons and doctors who are just like ML, the only issue these doctors will face is bedside manner. It says for medical doctor with autism is challenging to deal with patient in person. So it is said surgeon is better because less interaction with patients. That’s why this drama is very realistic. It’s very small numbers of doctors who has such autism may exist but I read some articles that some of them are remarkable doctors.

I noticed there are always bullied and/or mean people in K-drama. I don’t know if that is how their society are or they set up such characters so that audience will become more sympathetic to main character. It was really hurtful to watch when other educated doctors are really mean to him. In US, people are generally very kind to challenged people like person with autism and handy caps. That’s one of the reason why I couldn’t give perfect 10 And I like US remake little better. People around ‘Good Dr’ are kind to him in remake. I wish meanness in this drama were less. Then I would have given perfect 10.

Drama with great pacing and execution plus life lessons learned

Ah! Good Doctor! I'm not really a fan of medical dramas but I decided to watch this one as I like both Moon Chae Won and Joo Won and I did not regret my decision to watch it as it's a really good heartwarming drama.
There are many things that makes this drama great. One is that the pacing and the execution of the drama is perfect, and kudos to the writers. The characters are very well developed too, you have likeable characters and most of the "villains" of this show are also given a good side in this drama (some of them even developed to become good characters). Many heart-warming life lessons as the doctor characters heal and overcome the difficulties their patients face. Among the many characters here, the main character of the autistic servant Park Si On is very important to the developments of many characters plus the life lessons provided in this drama. Let's not forget the acting, for me everyone did amazing. Joo Won as the autistic doctor Park Si On, Moon Chae Won as Park Si On's fellow doctor/future lover Cha Yun Seo, Joo Sang Wook as Kim Do Han, even young Kim Hyun Soo as In Hae did great. I have to give a shout out to Yoo Hae Jung as patient Eun-Ok, she was so amazing especially when her character seems very wild at first.
There's really nothing I can fault with this drama. The only thing though with this drama is I felt that career-wise, Moon Chae Won should not have chosen this drama especially after the successes of The Princess's Man, War of the Arrows, and Innocent Man during the two years before she did this drama. Don't get me wrong, Cha Yun Seo is a great character and I love how understanding and helpful she is of Joo Won's character. It's just that I feel the character doesn't give her the chance to show more of her acting skills unlike the previous works mentioned and I feel like she should have chosen a more female centric role. I have no choice but to respect her script decision though and despite what I said earlier about her character and the acting she had to show for this drama, the drama did show a different side to her acting (this character is more light and warm-hearted then the previous works mentioned). Plus I'm still glad she has a drama like this in her filmography.
Attesting to the greatness of this drama is how this won best drama in 2014 Baeksang and even got a US remake that now has many seasons. So what are you waiting for, watch Good Doctor now!

A very heartwarming drama with a very unique take with mental health involved. Our two main leads, Joo Woon and Moon Chae Won, had such a nice supporting relationship. As expected, it won't be the type where there's much skin ship, but the moments they were on the screen were very tingly. Joo Won is an outstanding actor. He does such a great job acting as an autistic man. Not gonna lie, his character was so adorable throughout the entire series. Surprisingly, I focused much more on the romance, friendship, and hospital politics more so than the medical aspect of this show. There was some SERIOUS character development for almost everyone in the show.

A voir absolument - bien meilleure que sa copie US

Ce drama traite de l'intégration, au sein d'un hôpital, d'un interne en chirurgie pédiatrique avec "autisme".

Il va devoir affronter de multiples difficultés, la discrimination, etc. mais va peu à peu les surmonter en démontrant ses capacités, prenant peu à peu confiance en lui, grâce l'amitié et à l'amour qu'il saura inspirer.

La série, comme toutes les séries médicales, traite aussi des rivalités au sein de l' hôpital.

La Version coréenne (qui est la version originale) est bien meilleure que version US, et l'acteur qui incarne le ML est vraiment excellent !!

La serie que recomiendo esta semana es una de esas que cuando la ves, sientes el corazón bonito y vuelves a creer en la vida y en la sociedad.
Es la serie en la que está basada la serie americana con el mismo nombre. La historia es una historia de superación y que te hace reflexionar sobre cómo tenemos que ayudar a las personas con cualquier tipo de problema a integrarse en la sociedad y a llevar una vida como cualquier persona la llevaría.
Me encantó la historia entre el protagonista y la doctora, en cómo lo ayuda, está pendiente de él y le ayuda superarse e integrarse.
La verdad, no tengo mucho que decir sobre esta serie pero la recomiendo muchísimo si están buscando una serie bonita o una serie de hospitales.

Emotionally satisfying

I'm surprised that this turned out to be one of the most enjoyable K-dramas I've ever watched. I haven't had much luck with medical dramas in the past, and I've dropped way more of them than I've finished. Usually, their repetitive medical emergencies and life-or-death surgeries in which doctors miraculously save patients from the brink of disaster happening every episode again and again just bores me and strains my credulity. That was even true to a certain extent with this show, but I felt like there were fewer sensationalized medical emergencies than in most such shows. It had a little slower pace that let you get to know the patients and other characters better and become emotionally invested with them. And the medical situations seemed slightly more realistic than in most medical dramas.

Another good thing about this show is that Joo Won's acting got me interested in the character right from the beginning and involved me deeply in the story. Unfortunately, you have to put up with lots of painful scenes in the early episodes of horrible abuse and discrimination towards the Shi-on character from most of the people around him. Even several of the characters who end up redeeming themselves later in the show start out treating Shi-on terribly. Do-han was one of the worst offenders in the beginning. So much so that I almost can't forgive him even after he changes his attitude. Thankfully, all these hardships made Shi-on's triumphs later on in the show more satisfying. It was truly moving to see this good-hearted, talented guy finally get the rewards that he deserves.

Chae-won was really great too, playing one of the few characters who was on Shi-on's side from the beginning. The show did a nice job portraying their realistically sibling-like relationship, but then when their relationship suddenly shifted into the next gear, it didn't feel quite as believable. That part could have been handled a little more skillfully, but it was still satisfying to see the romance actually develop, because I wasn't sure this was going to happen.

I wish they had skipped all the tiresome and familiar hospital politics stuff, which contributed nothing to the show. I don't understand why just about every show that focuses on a workplace has to waste so much time on corrupt politics and power struggles. Does anyone enjoy watching that stuff? Fortunately, that made up a smaller part of the plot, so it didn't detract from the overall experience too much. I would have also cut out the equally cliched dad from hell stuff, which I thought was not only unpleasant to watch but unsatisfyingly resolved.

Finally, I can't help but compare this show to Extraordinary Attorney Woo, which I saw before I watched Good Doctor. Woo was more skillfully made in just about every way, and the legal cases in that show were more interesting than the medical cases in Good Doctor. Woo also clearly had a bigger budget and a more recent sensibility that made the earlier show really feel like it was 10 years older. And even though Joo Won did a great acting job, Eun-bin was even better. However, Good Doctor, despite its flaws and lower budget and more old-fashioned sensibility, was a little more emotionally involving and addictive than Woo. Woo is like an elegant sushi dinner, whereas Good Doctor is like a hearty Korean meal. So even though Woo is one of my favorite all-time K-dramas, Good Doctor is up there alongside it for me.

le droit à la différence

Au fur et à mesure de ma vision :

1 - J’ai commencé <"Good doctor", je n'en ai vu qu'un épisode encore mais l'entrée en matière est déjà excellente, pas besoin d'attendre 5 épisode pour commencer à voir les choses se mettre en place ... J'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à voir passer des têtes connues (comme de vieux potes qu'on retrouve : le directeur de l'hôpital que je venais de vois dans Two weeks, par exemple, et les femmes aussi, pour une fois, vues dans SKKS, bad guy, ou painter of the wind) et bien sûr Joo Won qui est assez estomaquant dans son personnage d'autiste savant !! Si la qualité reste à ce niveau jusqu'au bout (et tout ce que vous en dites me le laisse espérer  ) ça va être génial !  

2 - Merci C……. pour ton avis, et déjà je peux dire que je le partage concernant les querelles de pouvoir, je ne sais pas comment ça va tourner (vu que 3 épisodes) mais je les trouve trop présentes, j'aurais aimé qu'elle soit secondaires par rapport à l'histoire principale, qui est quand même le fait surprenant de ce médecin autiste ...  Mais ce drama est vraiment palpitant, passionnant, et Joo Won est vraiment surprenant de justesse !!!  

3 - J’ai bien avancé "good doctor"jusqu'au 6 (c'est que c'est plus d'une heure à chaque fois   ) ça me plaît toujours autant, les luttes de pouvoir et la vie des personnages s'équilibrent mieux au fur et à mesure qu'on en apprend plus sur eux. Un nouveau personnage est entré en scène, et lui aussi je l'ai vu plusieurs fois, et en général dans des rôles de traîtres ... le genre de mec qui tire les ficelles en coulisses ...   J'avoue ne pas très bien comprendre toutes ces manœuvres et surtout pourquoi ils veulent virer un service où il se passe tant de chose passionnantes et innovantes !!!   Toujours en admiration devant le jeu de Joo Woon, et je me referais bien Gaksital, tiens !!   Mais 28 épisodes ....  


4 - Je continue "good doctor" avec grand bonheur, et souvent la gorge serrée et les yeux humides quand même ... mais dites-moi, Park Si On ne serait-il pas un lointain descendant de Geol Ho, dont il aurait hérité le syndrome du hoquet ???  (Allusion à SKKS ) 
Là j'ai arrêté par raison vu l'heure à la fin du 10 (le cas du petit chanteur) et j'aime autant vous dire que je sais à quoi demain soir sera consacré !!!
5 - Il ne me reste plus que deux épisodes de Good doctor et j'adore, j'adore, j'adore ce drama qui fera partie du tout petit cénacle des dramas que je revois encore et encore ... Un des aspects géniaux c'est le savant dosage de suspense, d'émotion, et d'humour, parce que oui, j'ai vraiment rigolé par moment, en particulier lors de la répétition de Peter Pan !!! et ensuite la déclaration à l'envers avec Dr Cha et Si On est pleine d'émotion et de tendresse,
et quels acteurs !!!  


Ce que j’en pense :


Alors, Good doctor, c'est le bien, et même je dirais c'est le Bien car le personnage de Park Si on, c'est un vrai trésor !!   Bien entendu l'élément essentiel du drama c'est lui, sa nature particulière, la façon dont il est perçu, dont il perçoit les autres, et l'impact que son contact va avoir peu à peu sur son environnement. Car bien sûr il a des capacités de mémoires exceptionnelles, mais surtout c'est un grand cœur et comme le dit l'un des autres médecins "Si On, c'est l'atmosphère du service".
D'abord en but au rejet, à l'ostracisme, il va régresser se replier puis petit à petit, grâce au soutien et à la compréhension chaleureuse du Dr Cha il va s'épanouir peu à peu et ce cheminement est magnifiquement rendu, avec beaucoup de finesse et de nuances. Une belle idée du scénario également c'est le parallèle entre l'attitude protectrice(bien que souvent rude  ) de Oh Da envers Yoon Seo et de Yoon seo envers Si On, et ce courant va permettre à Oh Da d'accepter Si On puis de même devenir le frère qu'il a perdu, et je dois dire que cette partie est peut-être celle que je préfère !    
L'autre partie que je préfère, c'est l'influence involontaire de Si On sur les autres, comment par son innocence, sa totale sincérité il va faire sortir le meilleur de ceux qui l'entourent, car, comme on dit dans SW "il y a du bon en eux" !!C'est comme si Si On par sa seule présence dénouait quelque chose de coincé dans le cœur et l'esprit des autres, même la relation entre Do Ah et sa fiancée va s'en trouver éclairée.
Le troisième point fort, c'est l'humour !!!   Si j'ai souvent eu la larme à l'œil, j'ai presque aussi souvent rigolé !! La scène où les deux ennemis se réveillent le cheveu en bataille dans la chambre de Si On est hilarante !!
Le quatrième point fort ce sont les acteurs, absolument parfaits, naturellement la palme à Joo Woon qui m'a littéralement bluffée ! J'ai regardé sa filmo : il y a peu de dramas (5, vraiment rien, 9 aujourd'hui)) mais il y a Gaksital et Good Doctor, et croyez-moi, il vaut mieux n'avoir que ces deux là que 25 autres !!!   
Ce garçon a un grand avenir d'acteur, si les petits cochons ne le mangent pas !!!
Moon Chae Won, déjà remarquable dans "painter of the wind" et "princess man" est extraordinaire de justesse, de sensibilité et de finesse dans le rôle du docteur Cha, qui va apporter un soutien sans faille à Si On, tout en lui remontant énergiquement les bretelles si nécessaires.
Joo Sang Wook, que je découvre, est parfait dans le chef tutélaire, rude mais chaleureux, et la répétition de Peter Pan où comment Si On manœuvre pour le faire jouer est un grand moment !!!       
Alors, le scénario : bien construit, on ne s'attarde pas vraiment sur les intrigues de pouvoir comme le début me le faisait craindre, elles ont la place qu'il faut pour l'histoire et évitent de focaliser tout sur Si On, ce qui serait lassant. J'ai eu peur qu'on se casse la figure dans une romance triangulaire à un moment, (avec les Coréens, faut se méfier, souvent ils tombent dans ce genre de piège   ) mais Dieu merci, rien de tel !!
Et maintenant la fin : c'est là qu'il y aurait un bémol, pour moi. Ce n'est pas que j'aurais voulu que ça finisse mal, grand Dieu non, jamais ! Mais quelque chose d'un peu moins parfait, peut-être, enfin je pinaille, vraiment. C'est qu'il y a une telle tension d'émotion tout le temps du drama que la fin paraît un peu molle, mais encore une fois ce n'est qu'un détail insignifiant !
Ah ! Et puis j'ai rarement vu un drama aussi pudique ! Un seul baiser, et même pas, un bécot de rien du tout !!! Comme ça aurait été intéressant de voir comment Si On abordait cet aspect des choses (sans aller trop loin, bien sûr) mais même Do Ah et sa fiancée sont d'une pudeur qui touche à la froideur, et je me demande, comme le christianisme est de plus en plus présent dans les dramas coréens, si les Evangélistes ne sponsorisent pas tout ça, avec l'obligation de rester correct !!    Je rigole, mais qu'à moitié seulement !!    
Enfin, 20 épisodes sans que jamais je me sois dit "c'est trop looooong !", croyez que ça n'arrive pas souvent !! Les chansons n'étaient pas du tout envahissantes et comme j'ai éradiqué les paroles, c'était parfait !!
Eh bien, c'était un long post, mais le drama le vaut bien !!

Good Doctor deals with an interesting and emotional theme, though the romance kind of ruined it for me.
Minus:
-The romance. Why add romance to the story, and not focus on him getting his possition as a surgent? Plus, if he had the mentality of a 10 year old, then the romance was kind of off.
-They constantly explained that he was cured. Plus, his condition was treated as a disease. Should have been better handled.
-It dragged at some points and got boring
Possitives:
-The cases were interesting
-The theme and the story was so great and touching
-There is a happy ending
-The hospital politics made it more interesting.
-The acting was great
So, overall, 6 out of 10.
