Directed by Huang Renhe, known for ‘Gentleman of Laurel Tree Suit Store,’ starring Nam Gong Min, Kim Byung Chul, Choi Won Young, and Kwon Nara, this drama boasts a powerful cast of talented actors. Nam Gong Min switches effortlessly between villain and hero roles, while Kim Byung Chul, the big villain in ‘Goblin,’ adds a touch of humor. Choi Won Young plays the cosmic dad in ‘Sky City.’
If last year’s best Korean drama ‘Sky City’ was considered Reversal Drama 1.0, then ‘Prisoner Doctor’ is definitely the upgraded 2.0 version. With infinite twists and a gripping storyline, this drama promises ultimate satisfaction.
Plot Summary
The story focuses on a little-known provision in the South Korean criminal law – the ‘Sentence Suspension System.’ This rule allows convicts with severe illnesses to suspend their sentences for medical treatment, providing an opportunity for the wealthy and powerful to escape prison. Nam Gong Min portrays the male lead, Ro Lee Ji, who, with exceptional medical skills and cunning strategies, helps the elite evade punishment, not for money, but for revenge.
Ro Lee Ji’s Path of Revenge
Ro Lee Ji, once a highly skilled and righteous doctor, loses everything in an accident – his license, reputation, and even his mother’s life. Seeking revenge, he embarks on a path of fighting fire with fire.
In the series, Ro Lee Ji, through a series of intricate schemes, infiltrates the prison and becomes the head of the medical department, gaining control over the entire prison medical system.
Daring Plans
He helps criminals evade punishment through various means, such as faking illnesses and creating false medical records. For instance, he concocts a hereditary disease – Fanconi anemia – for Mrs. Wu, who committed a crime of passion. Determined to secure her release, Ro Lee Ji goes to extreme lengths, making her swallow hyperthyroidism pills, exposing her skin to sunspots, and even simulating a cardiac arrest. These meticulous plans are truly awe-inspiring.
