To close these J-drama releases of November, we enter the field of medical and advanced technology. Here two camps clash to treat patients and the war is likely to be exciting. But at what cost? Is traditional science in jeopardy? Should we trust a machine? A topical topic that could challenge both modern and traditional medicine. If the genre appeals to you, you should quickly become addicted to it.
Our selection of Japanese dramas for the November period is coming to an end. We hope we've made you want to watch them. Coming soon, discover the K-Drama releases!
