Sawamura Ikki to reprise his role in summer 2013 drama "DOCTORS 2 Saikyou no Meii"

Sawamura Ikki will be back in TV Asahi's medical drama "DOCTORS 2 Saikyou no Meii"  which is due to be shown as a SP on 1 June and begins its run as a series from July onwards at 9pm on Thursdays. The first series titled "DOCTORS Saikyou no Meii" was shown in autumn 2011 and had featured Sawamura as a doctor named Sagara Kousuke who changes the hospital he works in through his unconventional ways. In one moment, he can be full of smiles towards his patients but he is unafraid to change into a unfeeling person in order to realise his ideals as a doctor. The first drama had been shown in 80 countries in Asia, Europe and America so there have been calls for a sequel to be made.

In the SP, it features Sagara being caught in the middle of a struggle between the hospital he works in and an university hospital. As for the drama series, it shows Sagara clashing again with his longtime rival Moriyama played by Takashima Masanobu and exposing the dark side of the medical world.
