I'm from a country that allows assisted suicide in certain places, which I think is more "dignified" (using term from the series) as the patient administers the drugs autonomously. This gives the patient more "power of the body" and leaves it in the hands of the patient. So I do have bias is how I interpreted this series.

I thought the story was more of an activist statement at the expense of great storytelling. I think that the story is microcosm of Dr. Kan and it could have had analysis. With his focus being on end of life termination, he loses focus on being a healer and instead becomes a grim reaper, for the cause, and for his ego. He would not terminate so many people if his ego was not in play. From the professor to his last patient, you can see his feelings expressed in his eyes. That was due to the fantastic acting of Tor. The Captain's story got 5 minutes at most over all of the episodes. I would have like to have seen more of his story.

I understand that euthanasia is illegal in the country where the story takes place, but the doctor's story should be that his passion is end of life, not in the practice of medicone. Had he cared about keeping people healthy and healing illnesses, he would not have removed a doctor from a rural community which will take months to replace him. This is why the story is partly about Dr. Kan's ego and the role he plays as the grim reaper. Many physicians will play an advisory role in places where this is illegal instead of an active role because having a doctor as an advocate is more powerful. So while we viewers can glom on to Kan being a hero, the community, which looks to be mostly poor, is now missing a doctor. Anybody who has studied rural healthcare will understand that problem. But sometimes our activism is the most important thing to us as humans. As a disgraced doctor, Kan will not be able to advocate for legislation because he is technically a murderer. I loved that part of the story, that even hero archetypes like Dr. Kan can be a fragile human.

The series had more romantic scenes between supporting cast than the main characters. The love story between the main characters is almost non-existent. Just a lot of talk, very little intimacy or affection. The Captain wasn't even needed as a love interest. He could have been just another dude in the community. Also, huge plot hole is that morphine, fentanyl or whatever Dr. Kan is using to send them off is also tightly controlled. With 20+ deaths, I'm thinking that someone should have noticed the missing drugs. Maybe the Dr. Duangnet would have noticed, since she notices everything else, except that. The acting was vey good, and I liked the music. I probably will not rewatch, but I think that people who are heavily invested in euthanasia as a topic will rewatch.
