Kurosagi Aug 18 2011 6:14 am I had finished reading the Japanese version of the manga so I kinda know the ending before watching this drama and I was very skeptical at first about it. However, once I watched the first eps, I couldn't stop myself from watching it till the last eps on the same day. For a drama like this, it should have achieved higher ratings in Japan.

arashime Jul 03 2011 12:25 am this is a great medicine drama, yet why it achieved low ranks and rating?? and i really hope to read all the translation of the manga, yet it's still untranslated and being on hold until volume 4?? *sob* TT

JaeneungKim Apr 14 2011 8:59 pm Wahh! I love this drama as much as I love the manga XD I'm so happy Takumi's the one playing Mikoto~ XD

Tai Mar 27 2011 7:10 am I loved the drama, Yet...Why only ten episodes, it ended without an ending. Jin did that too!

mikoto_saijou Feb 27 2011 4:22 am this is sooooo cool!!!! I really like the manga sooo much.. I was really glad that it was made into a drama! I have learned so much about being a doctor. and I hope to be one someday..

SoFF-OnE Feb 04 2011 8:44 am I like the manga..still waiting someone to take the subtitle project
