Mari Dec 05 2023 8:30 pm This season would probably be my favourite if it had Kaji. But he only appears in one episode so my favourite is season 4.

Marco Nov 25 2022 9:26 am I love Doctor X. Nishiyama is best student of Daimon sensei.

Chx Apr 07 2022 2:11 am No Kaji for this season? Huhu Series not complete without Kaji saying DeMon. ?

Judy Oct 09 2020 3:35 am I found season 5 to be the most boring season for me, but surprisingly the last episode were the best in my opinion hahaha, it's weird I know. I just love it when the three brothers (plus Morimoto) encouraging Daimon to fight her illness. Akira's father figure to Daimon. And that ope scene ahhhh. One more thing, did Kaji confess her feeling to Daimon? Or did I got the translation wrong?

Cherry Sep 24 2020 10:53 pm Too bad Kaji didn't show as a regular cast here. For me, Daimon, Kaji, and Hara are vital. They are what makes the show worth to wait. Their frenemies crack me up.

DS7 Sep 29 2018 11:19 am I think, season 5's the last season of doctor x. Doctor x always release every october every year until 5th season. 2018, october, Ryoko's dorama Legal V will release. Doc tor x? I dont think so.

Chaturanan Kushwaha Jul 09 2018 12:55 pm Best japanese series... I just loved it❤❤❤❤

Des sj Jun 27 2018 3:10 am I cant wait to see diamon sense to see her in season 6...

J. Stahl May 12 2018 2:19 am Is there any word yet if there will be a 6th season of Doctor X?

Rick May 08 2018 2:18 pm I think it's not a flashback, one thing we cannot forget is when Daimon says "watashi, shippai shinai no de" and she said it again being a patient, leaving detailed notes for her surgery... do you think she would fail on her own? Hope we have a season 6 :)

quercus melanoxylon Mar 10 2018 9:05 am from the conversation between hiruma and kanbara, it was implied that daimon didnt survive. then i realised that was a red herring. the ruthless uchikanda forced the freelancers out of business. that's why kanbara and daimon had to restart in cuba. s6 will be interesting if they decide to focus on the father, the son and the holy daimon.

Sakae Jan 10 2018 2:32 pm I do not want to read into it too much, but what is different with this ending, take notice of a sign on the door when Hiromi Jonouchi visited - "Kanbara agency closed indefinitely". Sounds ominous. From less selfish point of view, actors must be also tired of this topic. What they can do new which wasn't done already, yet I am also rooting for continuation. Then seeing Kanbara and Daimon in Cuba from all places, leaving their life behind in Tokyo seem pretty weird ending to make any sense. Last indicator that we might not see S6 seems to be parade of (almost) all faces from the past. I think it was probably good bye to us. Whatever happens, I've enjoyed this series, and thanks to all who made it possible.

Mimi Jan 07 2018 6:09 pm I did hope for a tiny bit of romance between Nishiyama and Daimon because I always mistook his medical interest and professional respect for desire and intrigue. It would be an interesting plot twist. But I'm glad to see this show solely focused on the politics of the medical world, corruption, and surgery. It is fantastic :D

Kiran Jan 07 2018 3:01 am I read all the comments, and got a little bit hint about this season. I haven't watch it, but I will !! And yes I really really hope that there will be season 6 pleasee :( and I really want to see Kitano sensei ( Takito Kenichi ) cause I think that he is so cool and it's really good to have him back.

Bryce Dec 26 2017 8:25 am There is a hope for another season great :-D hoping it not end of doctor x until she's getting old hehhehhe

S. Ueda Dec 25 2017 3:59 pm If Uchikanda, Kanbara, and Jonouchi can survive terminal cancer then surely the writers can save Michiko too. But we all know who did their surgeries. Let's hope Yonekura san wants to keep the show going. Like Daimon sensei said (even as a patient) Kanja demo, watashi, shippai shinai no de.

Fan1 Dec 25 2017 7:11 am She doesn't die, in the end akira talks about starting over as he stares at the post-surgery event where the two officials are arrested. The Cuba scene is not a flashback.

JKF Dec 25 2017 12:32 am She doesn't die... if you listen carefully to what Hara said... "inakunata" would mean "not here". nakunata means "dead", and last operation would mean the last operation at that hospital... watch the ending scene... Akira says "Let's start again..." I think the producers left it a cliff hanger so they may return next season if the ratings are good.

juliet Dec 25 2017 12:10 am i truly wish there will be a season 6!! i'm still unsure of michiko's state--whether she survived or that was just a flashback. her being a patient saddened me most! i hope to see more of michiko in 2018!

Robert Lee Dec 23 2017 2:01 am The Cuba scenes might be flashbacks. I don't think there will be a series 6. It sounds like she didn't survive her cancer. Hara used the term nakunaru regarding Michiko. Kanbara told Hiruma shikata ga nai and that this was her destiny.

Dan Marston Dec 21 2017 3:32 pm I didn't ever think Doctor -X after performing numerous operations on people saving them end up having to operation final episode of season 5 shes now in cuba teaching cuban surgeons I hope they'll be Doctor -X season 6 sometime in the new year best wishes to all the actors and actresses Doctor -X

Kiran Dec 18 2017 5:07 am Where's Kitano Sensei? I really like him :(

Tim Sim Dec 16 2017 10:11 am Doctor Kaji is back in ep 10. Yeah... he misses bickering with Daimon Michiko...

Dan Marston Dec 15 2017 2:31 pm I love doctor-x and ryoko yonekura one of my favorite drama actresses I never miss watching it every week best drama shes done since no dropping out back to school at 35 from 2014

Dan Marston

jack blake Dec 04 2017 3:43 am what about guest star.i personally interested in Mah's GF in ep 7. Nanasha

Ryl Nov 26 2017 2:41 am There's no Kaji??????????? Omg im crying. Why is Kaji not here?! I needed some romcom between him and Michiko, but i'll still watch this since this is my 1 best jdrama ever. Thanks for making another season, and much more season i guess..

Cirno~chan Nov 16 2017 8:15 am I am very excited for episode 6 as Michiko and Hiromi has a friendship breakup. I wonder how would they reconcile with each other, and I hope that this show continue on, till Season 7. I miss Ryoko a lot since Season 4!

Sakae Nov 09 2017 3:25 am Doctor X season 5 could be viewed on several sites already. I am however sadden with prospect of season 5 being comparatively short (6 eps), as forecasted by people who are close to entertainment industry. Previous seasons run from 8 to 11 episodes. If true (and I have seen 5 episodes already) and it is very short run, then I fear that this might be the end of doctor X series, and we will not see season 6. I hope however that I am wrong about it.

Josepha-Michal Walker Nov 06 2017 12:41 pm Kanji sensei got a spinoff that started in September on Amazon video like one of Dean Fujioka's drama got produced by them. So depending how the viewing goes he may or may not be back on future Doctor X seasons.

shandyna Nov 02 2017 5:36 pm when doctorn season 5 ep 1 publish in youtube??? i must watch it..

Sakae Oct 24 2017 1:08 pm I was hoping for Mao Daichi to last little longer than one session. Interesting lady she is. BTW, where is Yuki Amami? Wasn't she supposed to sit originally in the big chair?

vin1881 Oct 23 2017 11:49 pm Where's Kaji?? :(

Yuli Oct 21 2017 11:53 am Morimoto-sensei is back yeaay but no Kaji-sensei :( and they add the younger casts this time (nomura and uesugi)

Dan Marston Oct 20 2017 1:47 pm I love ryoko yonekura one of favorite japanese drama actresses love Doctor-X best drama shes been in since no dropping out back to school at 35 in 2014 I've seen every drama shes since the negotiator in I can't remember or think what year
