i have watched American series Good Doctor while it aired, i completed S1 and was waiting for S2 and forgot about it, (never ending seasons are the problem with American series). i loved the the S1. then i came across Korean drama and i was curious so i watched it, so let me compare both
American series stayed true to Korean in many ways. U will find many similar scenes. Korean drama is as good as American if you are wondering. But also both are different in their own ways. Let's discuss that. When I was watching Korean version I got the feeling that I was watching the original. Because this one was grounded like all the originals while American version ramped it up a bit but in a good way thats why we liked it. American doctor was portrayed as next level genius and we are sure he wouldn't make mistakes or mess up so we are relaxed. In Korean version he still is has same strengths but he is still a rookie doctor who just started his career, so u can't be as relaxed in this, u will be rooting for him as he grows to be a good doctor. Which brings us to the theme who do u call a good doctor, that's what Korean version is based on it has a clear setup which the American version is missing because it is taking a long deture to fish out more seasons they are doing it in a good way so keep watching it. But it misses an important character (Kim Do Han) and conflict & acceptances which the Korean has. So watch the Korean version to know what the idea behind the series was.
