Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Michiko Daimon (Ryoko Yonekura) goes to a university hospital with her letter of introduction. Michiko Daimon is a freelancer surgeon and is placed at the university hospital by a doctor placement agency. Due to the hospital's harsh working conditions several doctors have quit. Michiko doesn't appear as your typical doctor. She wears shorts and some people assume she is the girlfriend of someone at the hospital. Michiko though is an excellant surgeon.

At the university hospital, Michiko makes objections to the director of the university hospital, who plans to perform a surgery. Michiko points out the director's antiquated surgical methods and the fact that he hasn't performed as a surgeon in many years. Others though are frozen by Michiko's objections. Nobody second guesses the director of the university hospital.

Al Nov 19 2018 9:36 am Getting dissapointed with japanese dramas, overating, unrealistic plots and acting i.e. a rebel doctor? please.... Concept was good but the writing and directing is childish

Koori No Hana Oct 23 2018 7:57 pm Those who ask if there's another the answer is Pending! Lol ?Maybe next year because Ryoko wants something new! Please support Legal V guys!

Graham Davis Jul 31 2018 9:28 am Stumbled across this series on Amazon Prime and glad I did. One comment compared this to “House” but I see (or imagine?) a few similarities to M*A*S*H.

Dr Daimon is a bit of a rebel, struggling against senior staff, like Hawkeye, Trapper and BJ. She was also trained in a M*A*S*H unit, albeit a Cuban one. Her talents rival or even surpass those of Hawkeye and Charles but unfortunately her interpersonal skills seem closer to those of Frank Burns. She might be seen as a sex symbol on the lines of Hot-lips though her love life, like her love of food, seems more like Radar’s.

Roll on series 6?

Roseman Dec 11 2017 2:42 am Thank you very much Matt. I kind of knew that she wasnt referring to Kindachi as Mamoru Hara didnt resemble this anime or live-action character.

Matt Dec 06 2017 7:05 pm To answer Roseman's question, Dr. Daimon calls Dr. Hara, Kin because although she met him in season one, by season three she forgets who he is and thinks she knows him as a former elementary school classmate named "Kin". So this is a reference in Season 5 is from Season 3.

Roseman Nov 26 2017 8:31 pm Anyone knows why Daimon sensei call Mamoru Hara sensei 'Kin chan'? Is she referring to Kindaichi?

Matthew Dykstra Oct 04 2017 1:10 am This is an awesome show. Discovered it on Amazon Prime and cannot get enough of it. The Doctors on the Show remind me of House only it is a woman in power and not a man. I think this awesome I am going to watch till there is no more left.

Juliana Oct 02 2017 7:12 pm I hope the next episode will be made becausi I with my family very like drama Doctor ×, especially Daimon Michiko san and another star. I love all of you..I hope I can meet all of you in Indonesia or in Japan..Good luck for you!

Kenneth May 19 2017 10:34 am Are they going to continue with new series? Hope they do...really miss this great drama.

bookworm Apr 19 2017 3:50 pm Omg, erina, I was not ready to believe what you said, but holy cow, you're right! XD So excited!

erina Mar 27 2017 7:56 am Guys, they're making Doctor Y, instead of Daimon it's on Kaji

Bakayah Mar 12 2017 8:41 am Oh pls pls pls make another season 5 :')

H. Victorius Nov 14 2016 5:35 pm I have enjoyed this show enormously. Ryoko Yonekura is splendid. She is funny, engaging and amazing good actor. The cast is also superb. Overall, I highly recommend this show.

Ryoko Jun 22 2016 6:25 am There's Season 4 according to tv asahi! But before that there will have Doctor X Sp this July 3 and season 4 will be broadcast this October

Fery Apr 23 2016 10:41 am Season 4, 5, 6, 7, etc but with the same Michiko and Akira San, pleaseeee

Herbert Kamada Mar 22 2016 1:32 pm If this program is removed from NHK television, It leaves me only one other show I watch faithfully and that is GOCHI dinners is on. You have taken away Code Blue which doesn't leave much to watch on NHK. At lease MBC has a lot of exciting shows. Please keep Dr. X on forever.

Lorraine Paul Mar 06 2016 12:42 am Will there be a fourth season of Doctor X? I hope so as it was an excellent drama. So much so that even though I watched it on Viki with subtitles I was fascinated with the interplay of the actors.

An excellent series which deserves another season.

aprilia Feb 27 2016 10:10 pm Please season 4 please

Jay Rootlieb Jan 08 2016 12:20 am Best show on television. When will last episode air?

濱田一郎 Dec 08 2015 5:57 am Please Season 4.., ! I really miss Michiko.., especially when She did an operation.., After Michiko did a Space Journey.., what will happen next...? How about Akira-san dream to place Michiko in her-own hospital...?

Zoran Oct 23 2015 4:42 pm Please make season 4. Love the characters and especially Michiko and the mentor Akita. Thanks.

pabboo redfeather May 06 2015 1:55 pm I love this show so much continue it!

KatB Dec 31 2014 7:16 pm PLEASE more Doctor-X seasons! With the same writer, director and most definitely cast!

Michiko Nov 19 2014 2:35 am Please have season 2,3,4,5... This is a great movie !!! Great characters, actress, actors, awesome storyline. I enjoyed watching very much. Thank you to The creators, cast and crew.

Los angeles singing lessons Dec 30 2013 8:20 pm This road block is one commonly referred to as 'dead notes'. First off, as a former talent booking agent with the William Morris Agency, I can not tell you every how or why to every act that has or hasn.

In Los Angeles there are many top notch vocalists who're providing vocal singing lessons and voice lessons to persons who're looking for to end up being superior vocalists.

Elyn Dec 22 2013 8:26 am The ending theme is by Superfly , title : Force

suri Oct 14 2013 8:50 pm Second that. Japanese dramas have unique & interesting themes. I just wish they focus too on romance. I think when it comes to romance genre, Korean dramas are better but for originality, Japanese dramas/movies hands down. I wish they make season 2 for this. It deserves it... but with a change in the minor cast.

Rikabelle Sep 01 2013 5:15 pm Japanese make many remarkable and brilliant movie and tv series. And many country copying their style cause they good at it for being so creative...as a fan i hope they create a new season for this series cause is worth to watch.more power.

somebody Jul 05 2013 5:37 pm there must be a new season

monterolaana Jun 07 2013 12:02 am i want to watch this episode 1 to 8 please give me a link that had a english sub please please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!thanksss

Tammy May 18 2013 1:06 pm They should totally have a season 2.

Vavča May 05 2013 2:41 pm Who made the music? It's awesome, sounds like some OST from Hiroyuki Sawano! Please help me find the OST...

Hikari Dec 27 2012 10:14 am I've finished watching this drama and it's so wonderful! 8 episode is too short and I hope it'll continue to season 2

Hoang Dai Doan Dec 17 2012 7:26 pm This drama is so wonderful. I hope the director would give us a section 2 after episode 8 of section 1. Actress Ryoko Yonekura plays an excellent character. Over all the movie is so perfect. I am eager to wait for eps 1 of sec 2. Thank you.
