You mean to say that autism ISN’T the same thing as narcissism compounded by drug addiction and being brilliant enough to be surrounded by enablers?! 🤯
Yes, it’s based on another Korean show (called Good Doctor). It was actor Daniel Dae Kim who helped bring the show to America. He is also the actor Freddie Highmore played opposite in the now infamous “I am a surgeon” scene.

No. The Good Doctor is about an autistic doctor. He is incredibly knowledgeable, but has issues talking with patients and working with others.

Isn’t that just House?

House isn’t autistic. He’s brilliant, but in constant pain and taking it out on anyone and everyone around him.

People can have comorbidities. I think House has chronic pain, autism, and NPD.

Also, isn’t he 14 years old or thereabouts?

No, he’s an adult who went to medical school at the usual time.
There are frequent flashbacks to his traumatic as fuck childhood, but he’s an adult doctor.
