SYNOPSIS
Daimon Michiko is a brilliant surgeon who works freelance. Michiko is averse to social relationships, authority, and constraints. She has a detailed employment contract where it is stated that she will not do any work that does not require a medical license, she will only work for eight hours from 8am to 5pm, and she will receive extra payment if she is required to work outside her normal work hours.

Michiko is back as a part-time doctor at Totei University Hospital, which is trying to build up their brand image after falling down the ranks of prestigious hospitals over time.



REVIEW
I really like Doctor X ~ Gekai Daimon Michiko ~ because it is one of those dramas that made me think twice about a lot of things; from doctors and hospitals to relationships and societal norms. It has definitely challenged my assumptions about doctors and hospitals.

In Doctor X 4 ~ Gekai Daimon Michiko ~, senior management are fighting over the top position as director of Teito University Hospital, and the hospital's operations are undoubtedly affected.

Daimon Michiko still remains as the only one who's most concerned with the patients' welfare, as most of the hospital employees and staff are busy trying to keep their positions within the organization.

The drama talks about how a good image and a prestigious brand affects the organization's revenues. With the proliferation of social media in current times, it is getting more challenging for businesses to have a good brand image and maintain it over time. Clients who are not happy with the service and customers who are unsatisfied with the product can complain and air their grievances in their social media accounts.
