It was almost three years into war with Iraq when the Iranian TV began to air the series, called Ramon Cajal. Watching Santiago's dominant father, dedicating himself to make a physician out of his son was at times quite entertaining.
How the son found his own way and emerged from his father's shadow to become his own man, and yet, always remembered that he is who he is because of his father, how he found the love of his life __ has been skilfully dramatised! I felt joy when he triumphed, wept when he suffered a loss, and mourned when the series came to an end, as good things always do!
If you're looking for an inspiration, it doesn't come any better, personified in the dramatisation of the character of Santiago Ramon y Cajal!
