[Dorama Review] Team Medical Dragon ~ Iryu Season 1


So today I'm going to review Iryu ~Team Medical Dragon~ season 1 which is aired on 2006.

This dorama is made based on a famous anime/manga written by Akira Nagai, illustrated by Taro Nogizaka.

Iryu is a story about a genius surgeon, Asada Ryutaro (played by Sakaguchi Kenji) which is expelled from Higashi Nihon University Hospital because being framed for a misdiagnosis. An assistant professor from Meishin Hospital University Cardiac Department, Katou Akira (played by Inamori Izumi), once saw Asada's skill at MSAP, a non-governmental organization in medical field in a war torn countries, and wants Asada to be a part of her team to complete her thesis to be a professor, Batista Procedure. Asada agreed to help Akira and starts to find his own team to complete Batista surgery.

I personally love this dorama very much. I think this is one of the best dorama I've ever watched. The setting of the dorama is so real that makes you really get into the dorama! You really can't tell that it's a fake heart (even though I never saw a real one actually, hehe), and the actors and actresses are so great that you would think they are real surgeons!

Because I read and watch both the manga and the dorama, there are several differences between the two of them.
- Asada's character in the dorama is quite different from the one in the manga I think. Asada's character in the dorama is more serious where Asada's character is more cheerful and not so serious, even though both character are still troubling and annoying for Akira.
- In the manga, Miki, a great surgical nurse who followed Asada, is Asada's lover. In the dorama, Miki (played by Mizukawa Asami) is still following Asada, but it's hardly to be seen that they are actually a lover, nor there is a love story between both of them.
- Fujiyoshi Keisuke's image between the dorama and the manga is very different. In the manga, Fujiyoshi Keisuke is portrayed to be big and tall where in the dorama, Fujiyoshi Keisuke is played by Sasaki Kuranosuke who is quite thin and small. I mean, you can't match a real person exactly with a person in manga, but just I think the difference is too big.

Well, in summary, the difference between the dorama and manga is not a big problem. You can't expect all those story in the manga to be portrayed in a 11-episode-dorama anyway. Other than the difference I realize above, I'm also quite amazed with the so-similar-characteristic I found in Ijyuuin Noboru (played by Koike Teppei), Arase Monji (played by Abe Sadao), Noguchi Keno (played by Kishibe Ittoku), and Kihara Takehiko (played by Ikeda Tetsuhiro).

The dorama is very recommended and I give 10 out of 10 points for this dorama! ^^
