Hey everyone, so I would like to quickly talk about a drama which I have just finished(took me around 10 days to finally finish). So D-Day is a 2015 Korean drama which is about an earthquake which happens in Seoul. The drama mainly follows the life of a young risk-taking doctor who performs risky surgeries that other doctors wouldn't even dream to attempt (Dr Lee played by Kim Young-kwang) who is put into situations throughout the entire drama. The director of the hospital actually opposes of his risk takings during surgeries and tries to get him to leave the hospital and remove his medical license.
When I first saw the trailer of this drama, I thought that maybe this drama would be almost entirely about the earthquake. Maybe we follow the lives of some of the characters and see how they get through the earthquake, and the aftermath. I actually didn't realise until I actually started watching the drama that it was actually a medical drama, so the entire drama is heavily focused on doctors, patients etc, something which is a first for me.
It took about 2 episodes before I really got into this drama though, so if you are thinking about watching this drama then please wait for at least 3 episodes before you decide to stop watching this drama. After the 3rd episode, I was really hooked, I wanted to know if everyone would survive or not. In later episodes we actually watch the battle between the director and Dr Lee which I found pretty interesting as well. What was interesting was that this was the first disaster drama which I have ever seen before, and also the first one on earthquakes. It made me realise how important doctor decisions are in order to save patients, and if you take too long to decide, then the patient can die. But after watching this drama it made me appreciate them more, and hope that it didn't happen during our Christchurch earthquake.
Overall I really enjoyed this drama and would rate it a good 8/10. It's not exactly 100% entertaining at times, but if you are seriously into the disaster and or medial genre then this is the drama for you. Usually the best dramas I watch have a character which I really resent, and the director is one, which means that the drama is good haha. Well that is all for this review anyway!
