Karin Jul 16 2020 1:58 am I cant even predict each episodes. I love kazunari ninomiya's acting skill!

SRT May 16 2019 11:29 pm The best Japanese Medical drama ever....thanks for the Subs ???

hdforscher Jul 27 2018 1:35 pm I got chills while watching this drama. It potrayed very well the daily life of researchers. Publications, impact factors, names, pressure, everything there is. I feel you, Takashina.

Redpastaa Jun 19 2018 7:17 am Be prepare to fell in love with Nino once you watch this drama! please also remember there are so so much adlibs from Nino for Tokai's sensei scene... even the scene that you might never thought that it was actually an adlib it's an adlib. Enjoy ~

Nafeob akfsisgeo Jun 17 2018 1:51 am This drama is very good. It's another proof that Nino is a skilled actor. Being a sarcastic and arrogant doctor is suited him. His smirk kills! I thought that this drama was a copycat of Doctor X but I was wrong. This one is totally different. I like both tho.

duckymakura May 04 2018 10:29 pm This drama once again proves that Arashi is a hoard of skillful actors who can get out from their comfort zone and play a totally different character. For Nino it's kinda as expected from him, but still, seeing him being bratty is somehow satisfying, lol

LT May 03 2018 3:07 pm I agree with Inuma. The Doctors in this drama are violating the first principle of bing a doctor. It can never be a copy of ‘Doctor X’. 大門未知子 puts patients first regardless poor, rich, good or bad. She can ignore high pressure from powerful superio. The interesting things of doctor X is that she is brave enough to againtst traditional political games in Japanes medical culture in order to save any patients. The doctors in Black Pean are totally put personal interests in front of patients even when whose life is in danger.

From this drama we can see one doctor doesn’t have skill and totally relies on the hardware. One doctor has skill but does not care about patients. That is why he would delay the operation in operation room to win his arrogance.

inuma May 02 2018 6:43 pm its not copy of doctor x, motive very different. doc x because she love op, black pean its for revenge

Tarwaan Apr 19 2018 9:36 pm For anyone who said "another copy of Doctor X?" or something like that, I think the story is totally different. Also, this drama based on a Novel entitled "Black Pean 1988" by Takeru Kaido and published on 2007

Kaz Mar 23 2018 9:54 am Yayy Nino as doctor, can't wait!

Al Mar 12 2018 5:26 am A copy of doctor x?

Mira Feb 21 2018 6:18 am So excited can't wait !!!

Naaruru Feb 03 2018 7:43 am Another doctor x copycat ??

jenneevie Feb 03 2018 6:27 am Yey! I'm really happy and excited to see him act again. If I'm not mistaken, this drama will follow after Matsu Jun's drama ended.

nica Feb 02 2018 5:43 am ninoooooo

Yui Feb 02 2018 4:28 am Tanoshimini~~~ Ninomiya sensei ♥ ♥ ♥
