All good dramas have a struggle between a protagonist and an adversary at the center of them. The Good Doctor follows this model, but in its own way. The series opened with Dr. Shaun Murphy, intricately played by Freddie Highmore, being questioned by the board of San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital as to why him being autistic and having savant syndrome shouldn’t deter them from making him a surgical resident.

Spoiler alert in case you have never seen the show before: Shaun is very persuasive and determined, so they hire him. Despite this victory, Shaun’s abilities are continuously questioned by his co-workers, members of the Board, and society. But clearly the writers didn’t think Shaun had enough people against him. 

So, in season 2 they added Dr. Jackson Han (Daniel Dae Kim, who also serves as executive producer). By the end of the season, Han has left the hospital but his actions and opinions could prove to have lasting effects. But does that mean Dr. Han has left The Good Doctor... for good?
