It's an American remake of a K Drama featuring a medium to high needs savant person with ASD becoming a surgeon. The scene depicted above is a narrative mechanism the show uses as a way for the audience to see his thought process in a visually interesting way.
The show has plenty to dunk on but there's nothing wrong with not having an actor stare into space for 20 seconds of dead air while the character thinks of a creative solution.
Edit: I should note a similar mechanism was used all the time in other medical shows like House
While not a medical show, Criminal Minds a at least used to use a similar thing, especially to demonstrate how Reed was analysing things.
I think it to be a good way of showing things on TV as having the actor stare on to a whiteboard for 20-30 seconds and then going "I got it" wouldn't really make good TV. The alternative would be the character coming up with the solution after just a quick glance and that also wouldn't make good TV.
The Korean version is pretty good too. The main actor in the US version makes me think violent thoughts.
