The drama started strongly, but the earlier episodes were a bit slow in pace so the key is to be able to withstand them. Once you passed those parts and everything seems to be interconnected, the drama will show its charms and after each episodes you will become more and more curious. The ending won't be as expected, so yeah go and watch it!

Kawaguchi Haruna as Sawa successfully made me annoyed with her antics, while Fukushi Sota did a good job with his role as Rei although I have to say there are a few times he is not 'convincing enough'.

The background music managed to enhance the suspense, especially when they're trying to give you a jumpscare vibe while there is no ghost involved in the drama lol. The main theme reflected the drama very well - in fact the lyrics kinda lowkey summarizing the whole drama and spoiled it for you.

Watch if you: love twists or love mystery dramas

Oh wow, what a drama we have here.
I've never watched a medical drama which keeps me excited and thrilled from start to the end like this. Usually when the main plot starts to be unfolded, the story might quickly de-escalate towards the last 2-3 episodes but not the case with Tokyo MER. They managed to have a balance in the medication, character growth, and also the power struggle. There are some sprinkles of well-delivered life lessons in between too. You still can find some usual tropes and there are times where the CG effect is a bit low in quality, but for me it did not really affect how the story progresses.
I really liked Suzuki Ryohei as Dr. Kitami and Kaku Kento as Dr. Otowa here, they delivered the two contrasting main characters really well (especially Otowa's face expressions). We also have great actors and actresses as the MER members that made the supporting characters are not just a mere extra people for the team. The politicians and Shirota Yu also deserved the credit for making the story even more exciting.
For me this is the best drama I've watched this year. I would definitely recommend it because this is not your usual medical drama. Go watch it if you haven't!
