The new KBS Mon-Tues drama "Good Doctor" that was anticipated to be a new type of Korean medical drama is receiving much praise from day one.
In the first episode of "Good Doctor", each main actor/actress left a strong impression through their characters as they each expressed their opinion on Park Shi-on (Joowon), a young man diagnosed with "Savant Syndrome", autistic features, and a development disorder. As soon as the first episode ended, the official portal site flooded with comments and live-time search engines were invaded by "Good Doctor", as if the episode had reflected the viewers' expectations.
Currently, after the first episode ended at 11:30 on the 5th, the live-time search engines of portal sites have top searches for "Good Doctor", "Joowon", "Savant Syndrome", "Moon Chaewon", etc. It is evident that the viewers are showing great interest as they search about the main cast and savant syndrome.
In the first episode, Park Shi-on, which is portrayed by Joowon, is born as a miner's son and, because of the domestic violence he experiences, he undergoes autism and a development disorder. But instead of going to a special child care center, he is schooled at the health center. Park Shi-on, who is diagnosed with the savant syndrome {the condition shows him having genius-like ability of memorization of the human body), joins the hospital as a pediatric surgeon resident with the help of his legal guardian.
The production company, Logos Film stated, "'Good Doctor' possesses a stable storyline, sensational directing, and incredible actors who are working hard to bring forth a distinctive medical drama. We will do our best to make the best drama with the positive reactions of the viewers as the foundation.
"Good Doctor" is a humane medical drama that tell of endeavors and love of professionals set in the pediatric department of a university hospital. Writer Park Jaebum, who was praised as opening a new horizon for medical dramas through the OCN drama "God's Quiz", partnered with PD Kim Minsoo, who weaved sentiment and laughter into "Goodbye Solo", "The Accidental Couple", and "Ojakgyo Brothers", for the first time.
