Karin Jul 22 2020 12:36 am I love this j dorama so much! I love isekai. Everything in this drama is perfect. I have no critic at all!

Aj0509 Jun 10 2018 10:04 am Its 2018 and i finally watched this jdorama. One of the best jdorama I've ever seen. To all jdorama lovers, you have to watch this.

Marvin Jan 29 2018 4:57 am I wonder why they didn't made a movie on this so beautiful drama that i can't even explain how perfect it was made.

kupukupumu Mar 03 2015 12:13 pm This is a very good drama. Osawa and Hayase reunion after Ichi plus Nakatani with very good and realistic plot (time travel part is not) with an epic soundtrack. Coincidentally bumped into this one and find it very captivating.

Jinfans Feb 27 2015 7:30 am one of the best medical dramas I've ever watched, the other one is Doctor X series.

Ayase Haruka plays really good. love her. this is a must watch drama

xxeryxx Dec 15 2014 2:28 am it's an epic..!! I highly recommend this dorama.. (^___^)

miltk Jun 20 2014 3:18 am the japanes to english dvd set was actual;ly produced and translated in hing kong. thru most of season 1 the translation is good, then it appears they chaged translators and the last 2 episodes, i believe, are unintelligable and names get distorted. it's like the dialogue becomes flowerly and obtuse. so ultimately this became an unsatisfying series. fortunatel;y there was an asian site that ran both seasons in japanese > englisj subtitles and not japanes > chinese > english

junpei mizocendol Mar 05 2012 9:37 pm the JIN series are superb. One of the best in ages. All the four leads are very good and the chemistry is epic

truly a masterpiece

Shingo San Feb 15 2012 8:16 pm I completely agree with the positive comments on this show that others have pointed out. I am a medical historian, and it is an amazing how Jin displays how things once were: you get sick, you die.... then your family dies. Tragic stuff. My comrades and I often wonder "what if", it would have been awesome if a family doctor had a time slip, but I love how they used a neuro surgeon. Brilliant!

Calista Sep 25 2011 3:57 pm I watched most of season 1 while staying in Hawaii last year and I recently saw the 2 hour showing of the 2011 season opener. I love this show (and do not speak Japanese). I can't find that it is shown anywhere in Los Angeles and I hate missing it. Is there any place I can see it from Los Angeles?

miltk Aug 20 2011 3:58 pm well told. there's an upcoming 2nd season and i am hesitant. the 1st ended as it should, which was without resolution. since the whole point of season 1 was jin's trepidation about changing history, then resolving it would be antithetical. besides, does anyone here want to see him go back to the future and leave saki behind,,,of course they could resolve that with a cliche meeting of another "saki" in the future.

chris Jul 05 2011 10:47 am this drama was amazing!!

Khunming Sep 29 2010 8:38 am I like Jin

Harold Morris Sep 05 2010 8:53 pm Will Jin be released on DVD and in English. I watch it and understand some of it, but not all. Excellent series.

Ken May 12 2010 2:03 am I am a doctor in Hawaii and I just saw this show on KIKU-TV. The show was excellent! I am looking forward to seeing another episode!

Bart Feb 28 2010 5:50 am i do think i'm not exaggerating this one, but i reckon this drama is the best Jdrama in 2009. closely followed by Shiroi Haru or Buzzer Beat. but its quiet unfair comment cause i've only watched around 10 drama's, of last year released.

the story are extremely good (though the idea of time -traveling are 'recycling idea'), the line up of actors /actresses are quietly unknown (for me) but still showed a really good performance. the script are not great (but i think its due to poor translation). the set, attire, cinematography, etc are phenomenal.

i do hope there'll be SP or follow up season.
