this series was truly awful and adorably brilliant at the same time.
i can see what they were aiming for with it but what we ended up with was a little laughable. hey, all the same i thought it was great.
its only 6 episodes so believe me im not complaining - if it had had the budget for 6 series and three movies i would have been spitting chips but it aint meant to be great. it is as it is. cheesey medical miracle drama.
there is this chap, teru, who is the son of a dead medical genius surgeon, in the tragic circumstances of that death (flamey plane crash echoey otosan!! otosan!! type sh*t)
the godlike powers of his father were transferred to him.
hiraoka yuta (proposal daisakusen, tatta hitotsu no koi) plays teru as a complete bumbling clumsy oblivious nervous wreck. i love seeing him with that sort of role.
under the extreme sudden pressure of being faced with a patient on the absolute verge of death
teru pulls out a desperate miracle show down leaving every one around him gobsmacked and bewildered.
what gets me is the weird ass CGI during the operations
and why does teru have to be naked in space when he goes all miracle genius surgeon psycho on us?
seriously. naked in space. its funny as f*ck.
every one in this series are well respected actors, some of whom i really like - mizukawa asami for example (last friends, orthros no inu, nodame, LLL, god the list goes on...)
ah i suppose its not that bad but i just found it a weird to be so far fetched and it be so straight - usually with things off on cheesey miracle front the rest of the show is more slapstick - but you only get that from teru himself.
look at these guys' serious faces... i get the feeling im supposed to take it seriously you see. but when he is naked in space and doing things like operating on a fetus' heart then plopping it back in the womb to get on with growing and whatever other fetusey things fetuses like to do, i just cant help but laugh at its absurdities.
ah who cares though.
it was still great. worthy of watching for 6 episodes.
but like i say, if it had gone on for a whole series i would have wanted to march over there (to who exactly?) and ask why they gave that crap full running time when kurosagi could have done with a second series and didnt have one.
(im still bitter to be left hanging by kurosagi damn it. and i miss it.
...i think i feel like i was dumped by a sagishi)
