    Goro Zaizen and Shuji Satomi are assistant professors at Naniwa University Hospital. Goro is a brilliant surgeon who will do anything to make his way up the corporate ladder. On the other hand, Shuji is a physician who earnestly devotes himself to medical research. Though the two doctors have contrasting personalities and are considered to be rivals, they highly recognize each other's skills.

    The entire medical department is restless while preparing for the election to choose a new Surgical Department Professor. All Goro has on his mind, is how to win the election. Meanwhile, Shuji is looking after a patient who apparently has pancreatic cancer. He carries out tests on the patient cautiously, and is very careful in telling the patient of the cancer. However, Goro barges in on their conversation, and out of the blue, tells the patient he has cancer, and that he needs an operation right away. Shuji is furious at Goro's rude attitude, and yells, "Doctors are not God!" Goro ignores this, and starts laying the groundwork for the operation. But when Goro finds out that the Director of the Medical Department has already given a diagnosis of stomach cancer, he cancels the operation. He feels that pointing out his boss's misdiagnosis will only hurt him in the upcoming election. Shuji however, is determined to save the patient's life and go on with the operation.

    Worth watching!

    2.  Deep, Thought-Provoking Series [Rating: 10/10]
    Without a doubt, this series ranks as my favorite drama of all time. A sophisticated plot, supported by engaging storytelling techniques and a strong performance from the cast, Shiroi Kyoto catapults in front of all other series in terms of both rating and entertainment value. Shiroi Kyoto offers an acute view of the politics within the medical profession, and subsequently the moral/ethical dilemmas involved in a medical lawsuit.

    Interestingly, there is no clear-cut right or wrong in this series, and most characters walk in a gray-zone as to position the viewers in the judge's seat, or perhaps more appropriately, the characters themselves. While the ending is somewhat predictable due to foreshadowing, it executes the subtleties perfectly and provides a satisfying resolution along with some food for thought.

    4.  Excellent and highly absorbing... [Rating: 10/10]
    This is a brilliant drama. Start off slow for the first two episodes but then the story really picked up for the third episode onwards all the way to the end. Kept me glued to my TV indeed. The drama really shows you the "other side" of the medical profession.. the backstabbing, the bribes, everything.
    The main plot focuses on the differences between 2 brilliant doctors in their own fields, Zaizen Goro and Satomi. Whereas Zaizen is completely ruthless and cold, he is nevertheless one of the best surgeons there is.. Satomi on the other hand is kind, unpresuming and would do anything to help the patients. Although they cannot see eye to eye, deep down they have real mutual respect for each other. Cheers to the 2 actors who brought so much feel and emotion to the characters.
    Overall.. this drama triggered a lot of thoughts in me about the competitiveness in the workplace, ethics, friendship, over-confidence and the true meaning of justice. The song "Amazing Grace" fits this show really well as well IMO.

    A highly absorbing drama!~~

    5.  Not That Good [Rating: 7/10]
    All topics telling: how people try to get what they want and after they already got it they were too proud to facing their mistakes, and how they try the best knowing with the truth in doctor's world in a famous hospital.

    But The love story are not so good and not fascinating at all, we can guest it.

    6.  well... [Rating: 5/10]
    i personally thought this drama, well, nice to watch, nice to catch, but not exactly, a very interesting drama...itz is similar to those lots of episodes drama...u know, u wanna follow but i dunno how exactly, but i actually find this series kind of boring...isn't the first part just all about how zaizen getting to b the prof...and it is really kind of draggy...the voting. second part just about the law suit in general isn;t it...i dunno, maybe b4 watching, everybody had been commenting how it is better than pride and that how high its ratings are...so i admit that i expect alot from this show...and i end up quite disappointed i guess...

    7.  Simply Superb [Rating: 10/10]
    It's not a simple story, it's intricate, detailing the lives of doctors, nurses, patients, families. It talks about the politics behind the scene, the measure people go to for the ultimate aphrodisiac...power...it's mismerising!! A must watch!!!

    8.  Outstanding! [Rating: 10/10]
    Without A doubt, one of the best dramas!! 2 passionate & talented doctors employed in same hospital, remained friends since school, admire one another yet each is ambitious in his own way with opposite views on life, enthics, career & work, walked two different paths.

    Zaizen Goro's ambition builds on being the best to impress others, prove his worth, gain power & glory to climb the social ladder at any cost. Satomi Shuji's ambition builds on medical research breakthru, doing the right things, thou respected for his noble deeds but often shunned upon due to his low key approach & not going with the flow.

    Eguchi Yosuke brings great warmth & sincerity to the character. Karasawa Toshiaki portrays this power-hungry role with a likable vulnerability that made you feel for his anguish. The relationship bwn the mistress & wife is rarely seen and refreshing!!

    If you like typical & tear jerking love story, this is not for you, this drama showcases the good, the bad & the ugly and is the kind that makes you ponder, although centered in medical field, you'll find it mirrors our daily life & people surround us as well.
