A favorite American medical show that is based on the classic K-Drama

As long as them a lot K-dramatic rhemes of American shows And films are also South Korean properties that have since been converted by American studios and networks. A striking example of this on television is the K-Drama 2013 “Good Doctor”, which was converted four years later through the ABC under the slightly altered title “Good Doctor” (in the lead role of Freddie Haimor in the role of Dr. Shan Murphy). However, while the main prerequisite between the two shows is generally similar, they are generally very different. Moreover, the American Remake is not the only international adaptation of the original Korean medical drama.

The K-Drama “Good Doctor” monitors the Sy-Na Park, autistic savantest with excellent memory and spatial skills. Si-On is intended as a pediatric surgeon of a local hospital, where he is confronted with constant ridicule from his peers who do not recognize his humanity, only his great medical abilities. SI-ON is provided six months to prove to be your colleagues, using your professional ability well in very competitive conditions. On the way, Sy-na fell in love with one of his colleagues at the hospital, the Moon Chae-Won.

However, while the main prerequisite is similar to a “good doctor”, the key differences in K-drama help distinguish it from it for a long time in the United States.

The “good doctor” is surprisingly loyal to your source of K-dramatic material, at least for its introductory episode, up to childhood injuries, motivating him to become a doctor. However, the “good doctor” works for Korean industry standard 20 episodes while The “good doctor” covers 126 episodes over seven seasons. The Korean series also tells a very compressed history, working on a clear end, keeping SI -N in pediatrics and its romance relatively virgin. The American adaptation, on the contrary, requires time to develop its support, moves its main character to overall assistance and makes it more quickly accepted by peers.

Despite these differences, both shows are strong in their own merits, even when the “good doctor” becomes a series only with the similarity of their Korean predecessor. In addition to the United States, the “good doctor” has received remakes in Japan, Turkey and Thailand, while this inspired the addition of a character similar to the Hong Kong series “Life after Death.” These international retellings were prime minister during the running of the American remake, giving considerable parts the world a “good doctor” at the same time.

In globally successful, “good doctor” was calmly irresistible in his positive reflection of people diagnosed with autism (what he shared later The Woo’s Extraordinary Lawyer series). And with its distant reach in many different versions that positive messages became intercultural within their expansive heritage.
