Hakui no Senshi! (2019)

A LITTLE GENERIC / NOTHING TOO OUTSTANDING

it's a good but generic occupation drama, it's THAT type of drama (love life doesn't work, finally got one at the last episode type of drama)

really not into all the other nurses does the little slip and fall when Tachibana made a mistake when she's fired up about something, it just feels a little cringe and outdated also why is someone always interfering in crucial moments like when a character is out dating or doing deep talks? feels too good to be true, things just seems to be too well put compared to real life. There are TWO characters that their parents did not approve what their doing it's the most cliche thing u could possibly see in a drama and they did it for 2 character.

Aside from these, I like Tachibana's background being a former delinquent and how she acts towards her patients, I also like how Yagira sensei is being controlled by his wife at first it really does shows comedy, I like how they shows most nurse's little bits of background and their life other than just being nurse

don't get me wrong, I don't hate this drama, I watched all 10 eps and I'd say it's good but it can be better

if you don't mind about some outdated style humor and generic drama planning you're good to go

The plot was okay, but everything else had me cringing so hard my neck hurts. Cinematography was inconsistent and all over the place. Acting, good god the acting... over-the-top borderline excessive and cringey as hell, I have watched 90s anime with less cringe than this. Crying scenes had little to no emotional value, I actually tried to connect but could not due to how artificial and forced it was. Music in ambiance was fine but music for emotional moments were excessive or unnatural that it would pull you out of the scene.

As someone who spent a lot of time in hospitals growing up, and even afterwards visiting relatives or keeping siblings company - the depiction of nurses are absolutely wrong here, I mean sure there might be a friendly nurse among a 100 but, rapport isn't as highly valued of nurses as it would be for doctors. Because a nurse's job is a lot more straightforward than a doctor's would be. Doctors communicate with patients and decide a course of action or method of treatment, nurses administer the treatment and maintain it until the procedure is finished.

Basically the entire drama used hospitals as a platform to attach a bunch of characters and slap on a "plot" and fall back on medical emergencies or situations to create tension. All the while glorifying and idealizing the role of a nurse.

In all honesty, I was able to take Mr. Bean more seriously than I did the characters in this J-drama. I have absolutely not a single clue why this has been rated so high on MDL, and more importantly I wonder when or if Japan's drama industry will ever put more effort into adding more realism to their works.

I mean in really, Korean dramas and movies used to be like this as well but look at how far they've come. Most dramas and movies are on par with Hollywood productions nowadays. Overacting is bad, and it will always be bad and this drama is the epitome of overacting. Humans don't behave like humans here -- heck, anime characters from decades ago acted more like humans than this.

The rating system on MDL is about as realistic as this drama is, and that in turns explains why elaborately written and made works can get a lower than 7 rating while absolute utter failures can get 8-9+ ratings.
