Kohei Matsushita has a leading role in the drama “After School Karte”. The role isWorking full-time as a “school doctor” in a primary school health roomMakino is a great pediatrician.
The original work is Mayu Hinase’s popular manga “After school medical record” (published in “BE・LOVE”) at Kodansha. This is the first dramatization of a work that has been loved by many readers across generations.
In the first part of the interview, we asked about his passion for playing Makino, who has a keen eye for observation and does not miss the “SOS” signs from children. In the second part, we will hear more about the concerns of children depicted in the drama “After School Karte.”
It shows the human relationships that go beyond a child’s illness.
“It is also a medical story,It is both a school drama and a human drama.I think so.”
Mr. Matsushita talks about the charm of the drama “Hokago Karte” as follows. Makino, a pediatrician played by Matsushita, used to be a pediatrician at a university hospital. Due to some circumstances, I have been assigned to an elementary school as a “school doctor.” Makino isDealing with children’s illnesses in the health roomThat’s it.
「Background and causes of children’s illnesses are the concerns before them.There are. Also, thatParents have their own pain tooThere are. This drama explores that part in a very realistic way.”
Matsushita says that at the root of the problems for children and adults is the relationship between people.
「Human relationships beyond illness. This is explained in detail in every drama.It is difficult for people to understand each other 100%. but,A desire to understand can sometimes save people and children.Isn’t it? I think Makino-sensei is that kind of teacher, and I hope the drama focuses on that.”
Children can certainly teach us more than hospitals.
It is “Medical Schedule after School”.It’s also Makino’s growth story.I think it is. Makino, who has just arrived at school, seems to have a sad face and is not interested in people’s hearts.
「The school nurse’s office gradually changes Mr. Makino.I think that the intensity of the interaction with children is completely different between pediatricians at a university hospital and a school. Being a school doctor, I spend a lot of time working with children. You will also learn about the child’s home environment and the attitudes of the parents.”
Mr. Matsushita says with a smile that the surface of the Buddha cannot be cured.
“I think what is important to Professor Makino is suddenly changing.Children can certainly teach us more than hospitals.So, how will Mr. Makino grow? More like a man than a doctor. I hope you will see things in the hearts of the children that you have not seen before.”
It is important to be on the same page with your child
