A LIFE: kanašiki hito

Kind of that hospital classic where we have a genius doctor who doesn't really get along with the Japanese way of running a hospital and the overall Japanese hospital philosophy. And here we get KimuTaku playing him, so there's something to watch, that guy is just interesting and has his own charm. However, his character seemed awfully flat to me, especially when compared to his childhood friend Danjo, played by Asano Tadanobu. His character went through so many changes and shifts that he was the most interesting thing about the entire series, even though in many cases he seemed almost repulsive from a human standpoint, in the end he actually wasn't. It might even make sense to write a longer treatise on him. I also appreciated Kimura Fumino, she was fine as the smart little sister, unlike Takeuchi Yuko, who I didn't find much to my liking this time around. It's not a bad series, it's average. If you're in the mood for a hospital setting with a genius in the lead, this is definitely not a bad choice. (21.04.2017)
