Doctor John

Anesthesiologist Cha Yo Han (Ji Sung) possesses an uncanny ability to diagnose rare and inexplicable pain conditions in a short amount of time, resulting in the nickname “Doctor Ten Seconds.” While his unconventional methods often clash with his colleagues, he always has his patients’ comfort in mind. Unfortunately, this mindset landed him in prison after he medically euthanized a patient – who was also a murderer – whose pain he couldn’t treat. Yo Han keeps his past conviction a secret from his new coworkers, but that proves difficult when he reunites with empathetic resident Kang Si Young (Lee Se Young), who met Yo Han during his incarceration. As Yo Han and Si Young work together to help alleviate their patients’ pain, they face unprecedented medical and ethical dilemmas that challenge their views. This drama was based on the 2012 Japanese novel “On Hand of God” by Yo Kusakabe.
