Text, as follows: This drama was a reminder of why I love J dramas. The premise was straightforward: A grumpy, blunt, tactless paediatrician gets reassigned from the hospital to fill in at an elementary school infirmary after a patient's parent complains about his handling of a case. The basic arc was predictable, but the nature of the journey was still remarkable. Especially in the first six episodes of the drama, the uncompromising, unsentimental and clear-eyed approach to serious health issues faced by the children was outstanding. From a first grader dealing with a congenital heart defect to a sixth grader having self-harm issues, this drama did not flinch. It did not talk down to the children, or about them, and the doctor's blunt honesty didn't change, even as he learned to broaden his perspective on what it took to look after children. The final third of the drama was heart-warming, in the final episode of the drama pulled on so many heartstrings my lacrimal glands were dry by the end. The drama basically did everything right. A male and female lead who both grew from their interactions with each other without a single trace or hint of any kind of romantic interest. And not for the first time, this was a J drama in which the really heavy emotional lifting in terms of acting performances was done by children. I knew after about episode three that this drama was going to be at least a nine, but in the end its balance of clear-eyed honesty and teary-eyed heartfelt sentiment made it a 10.
10/10 for #JDrama #HokagoKarte #AfterSchoolDoctor Intelligent, honest and brave, with OUTSTANDING performances by so many very young actors. When was the last time you saw a #KDrama in which a key recurring character, who featured in every episode and in multiple storylines, looked like this?
TFW the final episode of a #JDrama leaves you wondering how long it takes to refill lacrimal glands #HokagoKarte #AfterSchoolDoctor
The children are not the only ones going through growing pains in the wonderful #HokagoKarte, a #jdrama about a Doctor forced to work at a primary school. It made me laugh, get teary-eyed and think about everything that entitles a child's happy life.

Damn you, episode 8. Pulling at my heartstrings!

Doctor Makino spends half of his time doing laundry 😆
#HokagoKarte
Maybe Doctor Makino wasn't the problem but the environment he was working at. Some doctors are better equipped for the hospital environment and some are better as private practices or, in this case, as the primary school's physician.
#HokagoKarte
Not sure why the hospital's director believes Dr. Makino lacks empathy when everyone and their mothers can see he has one track minds: to make sure the children are healthy. Sure, he doesn't cater to parents but someone has to listen to the kids.

It's hilarious how they can't find anything else for him to do. 🤣
Just HOW many towels does one Nurse Station need?
I enjoy getting to know each student and am empathizing with 🤨-sensei 😄
I'm very much appreciating the influx of jdramas and anime on (German) Netflix!
My latest addition:

Huge props to real life pediatricians, as they truly are responsible from head to toe - just like Makino Sensei said. 👏
