I first watched the US version of Good Doctor and am a huge fan of the series so I was delighted to find that the original Korean version was on Netflix. It was one of my first K-Drama's (after Bong Soon) and it only served to boost my interest in watching a lot more.
The main character (Shi-on - in the US version his name is Sean) has Autism which limits his social abilities but massively boosts his cognitive abilities. My son has Autism (albeit much milder) so it was interesting seeing the world through a set of eyes similar to his via this story.
The range of characters in the show are great, with some good supporting cast. I really enjoyed some of the sub plots around the hospital featuring the supporting characters particularly the younger patients that he worked with. As with all K-Drama's there's more than one couple forming and they're all interesting to watch.
The pairing of the two leads however was a really beautiful story and I much preferred the journey they took as compared to how the love aspect was handled on the US version.
Definitely recommended. If you haven't seen the US one then it's also worth a watch - while there are numerous elements and facets of the stories that are similar there's way more than enough different to make it very interesting to watch both.
