The Good Doctor suddenly became a hit in Vietnam, with many viewers saying it was a great movie to watch while eating.
Having just appeared on Netflix, the TV series The Good Doctor has suddenly climbed the rankings and is currently standing firmly at the top 1 trending position in Vietnam. Having been released for a long time, the film’s appeal still surpasses the two famous Korean names currently showing, Nevertheless and Hospital Playlist 2. On film forums, The Good Doctor also shows its appeal to Vietnamese audiences when many people commented that this is an “addictive”, warm film and the male lead’s appeal is “undesirable”.
The Good Doctor is a remake of the 2013 Korean hit drama Good Doctor. However, this version is being rated higher because of its adapted content, and the acting also surpasses both the original and the Japanese remake.
The content of The Good Doctor, although revolving around the story of saving people and performing surgery, is not too gruesome but instead extremely warm and captivating to the audience. Throughout the episodes, the doctors at the hospital face different patients with stories imbued with humanity. The ending of the seasons is also extremely thrilling and even makes viewers “cry their knees off”.
The male lead Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore) received the most praise from the audience as a doctor with genius syndrome and autism. Freddie Highmore’s acting has always been highly appreciated, as he was previously nominated for many major awards for his role as the psychotic murderer Norman Bates. With The Good Doctor, Freddie Highmore also received a Golden Globe nomination.
The Good Doctor is now available on Netflix for its first three seasons. Season 4 just finished airing, and season 5 has been greenlit.
