The Outlaw Doctor

Director and Production | Breaking New Ground in Medical Themes
Directed by Liao Shih-Han: Known for his expertise in social realism, he challenges the fusion of medical and crime genres, using a "gas explosion incident" as a catalyst for the life-and-death struggle between the medical system and underground forces.
International Production: This marks the first collaboration between Public Television, Chunghwa Telecom, and GrX Studio, with a record investment for Taiwanese dramas, featuring real hospital scenes and special effects to recreate disaster scenarios.

Core Plot | The Forbidden Alliance of an Unlicensed Doctor and a Female Surgeon
Fan Wen-Ning (played by Liên Bỉnh Phát) is an illegal foreign doctor practicing in Taiwan. Following a sudden gas explosion accident, he is forced to collaborate with neurosurgery expert Zheng Wan-Ping (played by Chang Chun-Ning) to treat the injured. They soon find themselves entangled in a medical dispute, facing:
Black-and-White Assault: Conspiracies from hospital executives to silence them and threats from underworld forces.
Moral Dilemma: Saving lives on the legal edge while questioning the very essence of their "physician" identities.

Character Highlights | A Showdown of Acting and Human Darkness
Chang Chun-Ning: Portrays Zheng Wan-Ping, transitioning from rational professionalism to a breakdown of faith, taking on surgical scenes and action sequences.
Liên Bỉnh Phát: Showcases the complex nature of Fan Wen-Ning—both a compassionate healer and a fugitive from the system.
Yang I Chan: Plays the hospital director who navigates the gray areas between interests and morality.

Audience Expectations | An Upgraded Social Perspective in Medical Drama
Following the trailer release, the question "Is it illegal for an unlicensed doctor to save lives?" sparked ethical debates, with netizens analyzing the "collusion between officials and businesses hidden behind the gas explosion case." Critics have noted, "The series uses medicine as a mirror, reflecting the plight of foreign workers in Taiwan and the dark underbelly of the medical industry, with tension rivaling that of the Korean drama 'Dr. Romantic.'"
