will be stuck with this drama till the end because of JOO WON & MOON CHAE WON. (yeah ! the same I did for JW's last drama. yahh, it's JOO WON !! how can I miss it..) okay, stop.

maybe will be the first and last medical drama ever for me. because I'm fear with blood, medical stuffs and that operation scenes LOL.

whatever it is. anticipate. :)

I feel like Kim Min-seo looks her best with her hair pulled back and no fussy bits around her face (see: SKKS, Geisha Assassin episode). This styling is a disservice to her, though it could be intentional if one doesn't want a second lead to look too good.

Golden Time was he first Doctor Drama I watched. I'm thinking if that is the way doctors act in real life, I'd be scared to death to have to go to the hospital in Korea.

I'm gonna turn in this drama for all the leads. It seems like the director did a very good job in casting. While all 4 actors/actresses are equally good at acting, I feel like each of them gives out an unique aura of personality. Also, next time, can somebody offer Kim Min-seo the lead, please? I feel like she has been the 2nd female lead of dramaland since forever.

I don't think Joo-won has had really big hit of a drama since Gaksital. I didn't even watch it, and I know that because everybody always talks about it. Maybe I should watch it. I hope he's good in this. I hope the script holds up and the directing.

I like Moon Chae-won.

Hope this is a good drama. I don't usually watch medical dramas, but I may watch this one.

I can never unsee Joo Sang-wook from his TEN character in the stills so far. I'm just waiting for him to be snarkly and go off like he does in that drama. Could be because that's the only thing I've seen him in though..

As for this drama I'm still unsure about watching it. I'm both interested to see how they play off Joo Woon's character, and I know some medical drama's can be interesting. However I've never felt complied to watch this, nor have I ever really had a "must watch!" feel for any medical dramas.

Kim Min-seo, in every pic this far, looks like her dog just died. It's gonna be a grim series for her character.

OMG....the crocs...*twitch* They are not even the pretty kind of crocs....not like there are pretty ones.

I like this batch of stills though! Joo Won looks a little more natural than he did in the previous photos. And both him and Moon Chae-Won have fresh faces, love it! I'll definitely tune in.

I just realized how interesting it is that Joo Won picked this project after he and Park Ki Woong starred as (fr)enemies in Gaksital. If he can pull off this portrayal like Park Ki Woong did in Story of a Man then I will have no complaints. Heres to hoping hes successful!

Oh, hell. Is Crocs going to be a sponsor of this drama? *cringe*

Apologies to Dramabeans and GirlFriday about this.

Hello all, am giving you all the full translated synopsis from the KBS site. Credit to anaisanais from the Pediatron Team@viki.com.

As a veteran volunteer and unbiased channel manager on Viki, my only concern is in obtaining the most accurate and best subs for a drama, regardless of any individual of the cast.

I've banned myself from the soompi site in order not to involve myself in fandom comments. It's hard work enough as it is to get a team much less get the medical terms right. Trying to be helpful and getting translations for characters there seems to be have cause the fandom to wander across to viki and set me up- and mistrust within the team members.

Here is the plot synopsis everyone; in spoilers.
The world of pediatric surgical doctors who struggle by themselves for the children's future and for the families' happiness.

A lot of people do not know the fact that pediatric surgery exists independently.
However, pediatric surgery has existed all along and is quietly going about its way.
Surgery on ball-pen sized premature babies with extremely low birth weight, surgery on fetuses inside moms’ bellies, etc.
Phenomenal medical techniques we know not of are being achieved in pediatric surgery.
Good Doctor is a work that deals with the world of pediatric surgical doctors who are saving lives out of a keen sense of duty and that deals with their anguish and sufferings.
In addition, it plans to show unerringly the irrational medical insurance system, as well as pediatric surgery’s reality that cannot help but be inadequate because of hospital management that seeks only profit.
Also, through the actions of doctors who assume responsibility for children’s futures since the treatments are not simple, Good Doctor will ask again what it is that adults should really do for children.
The children of the pediatric surgical ward are all our children, nephews and nieces, and younger siblings.
Through drama, Good Doctor wishes for these children’s recovery and future as well as a healthy world.

To look with a sense of kinship and identification, not eyes of sympathy and pity for disabled people.

There are some viewers who are ill at ease with disabled people appearing not in documentaries but in dramas.
And such viewers want stylish or pretty main characters to be featured.
“Feeling ill at ease” is, in dramas, to look at disabled people only as objects of pity and sympathy.
Then, are disabled people incapable of beauty and subjects of discomfort?
Are they simply the objects of pity and sympathy?
Among disabilities, there is none that has incurred the general public’s prejudice and popular misconception as much as autism has.
When we say “autism,” the movie Marathon’s Cho Won and his way of speaking, shaky hand gestures, low intelligence, social maladjustment, and incurable disease are the stereotypical characteristics that ordinary people recollect.
However, although too great a variety in symptoms and patterns exists and there are differences between cases, autism is a disability that can be treated.
After treatment, it is possible [ for people with autism] to participate as members of society.
Prejudices and misconceptions about disabilities are the chief factors behind branding these people as disabled.
Such stigma is not understanding, but rather hardens into a vague sympathy and pity.
Good Doctor seeks to show us that disabled people and normal people are both entities that have the same feelings and dreams and that it is a beautiful existence that can resonate for us.
Through this, Good Doctor seeks to say that what’s necessary for these people is not sympathy or pity but a sense of kinship and identification as well as recognition as members of society.

So when I write the viki synopsis you'll understand why Park Shi On is the focus for this drama.

Peace out. So sorry about this DB and GF. But there is no avenue out there to post these now that viki has stopped givings us posts to do this. And I am NOT going into soompi GD thread to share after this incidence.

SLS.... for sure!!!!

The posters look awkward, except the first one. It's naturally cute! But, don't judge a drama by its posters! I Hear Your Voice has proven it wrong.

For now I'm torn between "This is going to be a total killer!" and "This is going to be a disaster". Because, really, I don't know how everything will turn out to be, it can be very natural or very absurd. I think, with this drama, the one wrong step=everything's ruined rule applies. It's very risky.

Only Joowon's acting (because his character is supposed to be what makes GD interesting) and solid script can save this drama. (I don't think the other actors' acting needed to be pointed out because we all know they're damn good)

I'll tune in for Joo Won, but I get a bad feeling about this. I'm worried he chose this for the role, rather than choosing it for the whole drama. Kid's on a roll, so I'd hate to see a few poor role choices hamper him. Really hoping this is good!
