| 1. | Comments by Jewel [Rating: 10/10] Couldnt bear to missed this Kyumei Byoto 24 Ji part 3 since I'm already hooked to both Kyumei Byoto 24 Ji 3 part 1 and part 2. Glad to see Dr. Shindo and Dr. Kaede from the orginal cast from part 1 to be back. However, I missed 松雪泰子 from part 2.Matsushima Nanako and Eguchi Yosuke has a high level of chemistry between them.
Kyumei Byoto 24 Ji 1 was filmed in 1999, Kyumei Byoto 24 Ji 2 was filmed in 2001 and Kyumei Byoto 24 Ji 3 was filmed in 2004/2005. So when is Kyumei Byoto 24 Ji 4 coming out?
Looking forward to Kyumei Byoto 24 Ji part 4 realli soon! |
| 2. | Comments by atheon [Rating: 9/10] April 2005: This time, from a trainee Nanako has become a experienced ER doctor, and the story focus the theme: earthquake. How the doctors, politician, nurses, patients, manage to overcome the disaster. Better than the first episode with more realistic approach, and is good to see Nanako back again, she will always be our drama queen~ |
| 3. | Comments by kinki_txr [Rating: 9/10] Not bad...great cast,great plot so far. |
| 4. | Comments by jo [Rating: 3/10] Why don't I like this show? First of all, too much emphasis on the world of doctors and surgeons again. Eguche Yusuke seems to be falling in love with the stereotypical characters, the last couple dramas he accepted, he played as a doctor. Somehow this kind of soured me so bad, even though Matsushima was on this drama. D+ |
| 5. | Comments by momo_chan [Rating: 10/10] cool |
| 6. | Comments by kaonashi [Rating: 8/10] This time the emergency team's trying to save lives after a massive earthquake. A scenario that is more than realistic for Japan residents. The second series was slightly better, but this one's really good too & I recommend it. 8+ |

| 9. | Comments by MA103 [Rating: 10/10] Eguchi's acting in 2 and 3 are excellent. |
| 10. | Comments by Jeanxi [Rating: 7/10] Went off to a great start, but the whole series was a bit anticlimatic because it had such an amazing start to the series. After the earthquake and everything was finally a bit in order, the story became quite boring. Initially, there are a few episodes that are true tear-jerkers, but after a while, it just wasn't touching anymore. However, they did really well in staying with the overall theme of coping with a major disaster, and I guess it couldn't be helped that it was anticlimatic if the story was meant to show people's strength in overcoming the problems in the aftermath of the disaster. It is also worth mentioning that this series is not as cheesy as Kyumei Byoto 24 Ji 2 were in some episodes. Nonetheless, I was a bit disappointed by the lack of a great ending. Also, I'm a bit fan of Matsushima Nanako and has admired Eguchi Yosuke's previous works, but they didn't really shine in this drama. If anyone, it's the young ones that acted well and really showed a depth of character. I think it is mostly the script writer's problem tho. He/she should've further develop the character of Kojima and Shindo rather than just having them as being the "cool" doctors that always knew what to do and was calm and collected. So, all in all, a pretty good drama, but I had higher expectations. I wouldn't be surprised if most j-drama lover's find this to be boring after the first two episodes. |
| 11. | Comments by ct_subang [Rating: 7/10] a medical drama...the drama focuses on the chaos of an earthquake in Tokyo..intense.. |
| 12. | Comments by orenji [Rating: 9/10] Still as engaging as ever. The theme song by DCT is good too~ =) |
| 13. | Comments by enen_shun [Rating: 10/10] "Kyumei Byoto 24 Ji 3" is GREAT !!
finished watching it 2 days ! great plot and it really made all the scenes looked so real ! i was touched by every single episode ~ i'll still get so tensed up even when i'm watching the 2nd time ! Eguchi Yosuke performed so well as usual ~ and with Matsushima Nanako in it added colors to the drama ! this drama really tells us how scary could earth quake be .. a really worth-watching drama !! |
| 14. | Comments by Janicechen [Rating: 9/10] A really touching and heart warming show. The best of the 3 serials. |
| 15. | Comments by IniQx [Rating: 10/10] a very realistic drama with very strong human element. so touching that cried after watching every episode. the earthquake setting were very well-made & realistic. i'm looking forward to more Kyumei Byoto series! |
| 16. | Comments by orange1806 [Rating: 8/10] heartwarming no doubt, but no new breakthrough from the previous 2 seasons. still waiting to see a little element of romance in the show. :) |
| 17. | Comments by yijing [Rating: 7/10] i think the whole show is rather impactful & really brings you to certain issues that you'll never think about. the entire series is focused upon the aftereffects of the earthquake. i think it brings justice to the different unsung heros during the disastor. i especially liked the part when they touch on the feelings of the firemen. |
| 18. | Comments by selphie086 [Rating: 10/10] Something worth watching if you're a fan of medical dramas. |
| 19. | Comments by ml_desu [Rating: 5/10] this storyline has potential, unfortunately, the scripting and focus was disappointing. too much melodrama and histrionics and along the way, eguchi yosuke got turned into a god-like mr know it all figure. don't get me wrong, i like this actor a great deal. i still remember his long hair and goofy carefree boyishness in 101 proposals. that young man has morphed into this person with a commanding stature in this drama. guess if any actor can pull it off without being totally dislikable, yosuke san has done it here. time is the measure of man. |
| 20. | Comments by AngelXing [Rating: 9/10] Matsushima nanako did a really fantastic job in this drama (but then agian...doesn't she always). It makes you realize how critical can things get when your country goes into some natural tragedy. Love how it not only protrayed about what goes on in the ER but also politcally and also about how each individuals had to overcome it together. |
| 21. | Comments by tInoltin [Rating: 10/10] great drama! great casts! great story!
amazing~!! |
| 22. | Comments by anoneko [Rating: 8/10] Still in the midst of watching on Channel 8. Great show so far! |
| 23. | Comments by thedark123 [Rating: 7/10] Nice!!!! |
| 24. | Comments by ahweigor [Rating: ?/10] Have not watched yet |
| 25. | Comments by HeLLoMinna [Rating: 8/10] Pretty exciting to watch. Eguchi was great ^^ |
| 26. | Comments by Aunty Coco [Rating: 9/10] Initially it was intensed and addictive... But towards the end it was a bit draggy... Thankfully Eguchi Yosuke & Matsushima Nanako managed to lift up the show... |
| 27. | Comments by merumerumee [Rating: 10/10] this drama retains its excellent quality, even though i prefer season 2. yosuke eguchi is cool as usual, playing his character flawlessly. |
| 28. | Comments by Strega [Rating: 10/10] Will it be next one? Shendo Sense? |
| 29. | Comments by norani [Rating: ?/10] Nanako Matsushita |
| 30. | Comments by tinychiz [Rating: 10/10] One of the best dramas I have seen this year. Each episode kept me wanting to watch the next episode. All the major actors portrayed their roles beautifully. I would not miss this drama. 10/10 |
| 31. | Comments by gomibagu [Rating: 7/10] worth the time |
| 32. | Comments by Smiley_18 [Rating: ?/10] * |
| 33. | Comments by nienna [Rating: 10/10] Every single episode was inspiring!!! I loved every second of the responsibilties carried out by every personnel in order to save lives. It's a sad but interesting story. Each episode carries a new meaning of friendship, relationship and humankind. |
| 34. | Comments by apple_grenade [Rating: 6/10] Eh... I wanted SO VERY BADLY to like this one. I like the drama, generally. But all the corns and candies overwhelmed - nay, stampeded and wrestled me to the ground in forced submission. Seriously. I have never thought I'd sacrifice anything in order to punch in Eguchi's and Matsushima's respective faces. There's a first time for everything, I suppose.
Look, it is a good medical drama. The earthquake setting is both interesting, eye-opening, and educational. But the script could use someone who hadn't been surviving on cotton candy for the last 30 years. You may think that that is my only complaint: the script. But it renders the whole thing so unwatchably boring, that I simply cannot help but highlight it as many times as possible. THE SCRIPT WAS INFINITELY TERRIBLE! And some of the storylines could do well with 120% revamping too.
On a positive note, I love the entire cast. Eguchi and Matsushima and Kyono and all delivered a good and heartwarming performance. Oguri Shun is so cute! I can't say that enough. I liked how he transitioned from a loafer wagamama pooh into a responsible far-seeing kid, even managing to rise above obstacles when his older brother broke down. The theme song is awesome. Great directions, too. One of the most surprising things, for me, was me falling head over heels for Koichi Mantaro as Dr. Hibiya. He is such a freaking badass; a complete opposite of Eguchi's Shindo (and a welcome opposite, too, if I may add). So, all in all, it's all good. Not great, just good. |
| 35. | Comments by sho_sakurai [Rating: 6/10] so fast this story!!!!! |
| 36. | Comments by Shindou [Rating: 8/10] While the drama starts off with a bang with nothing less than an earthquake to set the tone, the rest of the jdorama, particularly towards the end, gets fairly routine as a medical jdorama. A bit unrealistic since the ER felt as thought it was an independent hospital but the cast carried this through. Great soundtrack and great footage of the earthquake!! |
| 37. | Comments by butterLiLy [Rating: 8/10] A good medical drama and both the leads delivers their characters well |
| 38. | Comments by russia [Rating: 8/10] cool concept of massive tokyo quake scenario |
| 39. | Comments by shikka [Rating: 9/10] haven't watch 1 n 2 yet....but this drama has more than what i expected from a ER series.....
yosuke n nanako.... |
| 40. | Comments by Tad [Rating: 8/10] Shindou Sensei finds himself in another dramatic situation! Not as good as Kyuumei 2, but still a good drama. |
| 41. | Comments by Orion [Rating: 8/10] worth to watch |
| 42. | Comments by MrNiceGuy [Rating: 8/10] Some emotional moments! How touch to deal between live and dead! |
| 43. | Comments by glyq [Rating: 6/10] not very realistic... over exagerated
watched it cause of the cast. |
| 44. | Comments by Amika [Rating: 9/10] good drama, there is action, drama, in this.. one of the best drama i watch recently.. |
| 45. | Comments by aiscess [Rating: 8/10] A really well made series..it's as if Tokyo has been really hit by a big earthquake..it also shows how people pick uo themselves after a fall..a very inspiring series indeed..plus it can also be a reference..if something..I hope not..occurs like that in our life. |
| 46. | Comments by cirrus [Rating: 7/10] it's always a joy watching nanako act. the stories can be a little too tragic tho. i actually prefer the previous installment with yasuko matsuyuki. stilll, overall, i enjoyed this drama. |
| 47. | Comments by kawai [Rating: 10/10] Tight storyline, meanful dorama. |
| 48. | Comments by aoi_dolphine [Rating: 9/10] This is the 3rd season of this drama and it's more focus on the earthquake which happened last year. This is a change to the ER situation that's happening on a day to day basics from the 2 previous seasons. |
| 49. | Comments by aznpride26 [Rating: 10/10] great |
| 50. | Comments by Jyashina [Rating: ?/10] Want to watch |
| 51. | Comments by gaijinmark [Rating: 7/10] Good drama, good cast that worked well together. |
| 52. | Comments by chinz [Rating: 10/10] story is touching as with previous seasons, a lot of heart put in to make this season to create the earthquake scenario... nanako is so attractive, now as a 3rd in command in the kyukyu centre leading a trainee. an obvious character maturity... love it! |
| 53. | Comments by pingpiyo [Rating: 10/10] Great plot and acting!! a must see! |
| 54. | Comments by lisajayne [Rating: 7/10] Touching and warm |
| 55. | Comments by paul_muaddib [Rating: 6/10] Good storyline, but the 2nd one in the series beats this hands down. Still, a good watch. |
| 56. | Comments by pinkokoro [Rating: ?/10] COMPLETE. |
| 57. | Comments by Akiiness [Rating: 8/10] I was really surprised to see that they've chosen a more solid focus on this part of the trilogy. Again, they spare no one but Kojima (Matsushima Nanako) from the last 2 dramas, but as a veteran from the 1st of the trilogy, I was really looking forward to see Kojima and Shindo team up again. What I really like about this trilogy is that you don't necessarily need to watch the previous parts to understand what's going on in the drama. And I also really liked how they decided to make a segment/side story for Kojima and her romantic side (like Shindo's side story in the 1st drama). I didn't expect that. ;D But! The one thing that bugged me about this drama was the lack of focus on this group of doctors & nurses. I think the producers were trying to drift away from their original format, and simply focused too much time on the earthquake. Nonetheless, it's not wasted time on the shift of focus; it's still very touching and dramatic. :D And lastly, I really think they could of done more with the ending... Unless they're thinking of a Kyumei Byoto 24 Ji 4... :P |
