Such a TV classic. We all have problems, so we'll help each other out. Some in their condescending way, but still a pal. Almost all the episodes are touching, so if you don't have an onion handy but want some of those tears, go for it. The story is mediocre, the acting is mediocre too (there's just no one here with anything interesting to play). But it's such a nice addition to the hospital dramas, where thankfully there's no rivalry or striving to outsmart all the other doctors; they're all kind of trying to get along and save the patients, which is very nice. Plus, it's lightly spiced with humor, so the sad scenes tend to be lightened up with various skits within the episode to entertain. Interesting cast, interesting guest stars. Maybe it would have been great if Ayano Gō had just concentrated on playing the piano. ;-) (2015.12.16)
