Synopsis
In Iryu 2, Asada Ryutaro wages a new battle against the realities of Japan’s medical care system. The government has drafted legislation to tackle the recent inflation of medical fees; hospitals have entered an era in which they will go bankrupt if they aren’t independently run. At the same time, hospital mergers and takeovers are also taking place.

Additionally, the obstetrics and pediatrics departments are being closed in succession, and there are inadequate doctors in the region – issues that are closely related to these hospital management problems. Now, hospitals, like the average corporation, face collapse if they are not profitable. — jade_frost

My Review
Iryu 2 is already season 2. If you have watched Iryu season 1, you will definately enjoy Iryu 2. If you haven’t watch Iryu season 1, you should watch it. It’s really a great show. The show is about politics in hospital, such as abandoning hard to cure patient to increase the hospital patient survival rate. The show portrays how dark hospitals are.

But the male lead, Asada Ryutaro, not only possess skills that are far superior than most doctors, but also possess a strong belief of what doctors should be. Because of his strong beliefs, superior skill, and talented teammates, they managed to save many patients who are abandoned by most hospitals. I really like the sound track of this drama. It really brings out the emotion they are trying to portray.

Score: 10/10
