This drama does not have the most complex plot out there, but it'll probably make you laugh several times throughout each episode. This isn't just a typical time-traveling drama! It's a rom-com/time-traveling drama. We again see the k-drama world shaking things up in terms of drama genres. You'll just have to watch the drama to see how he does it though. Heo is a drama about a doctor who travels through time.
Rewatch Value 8.0 This is a great drama to watch for those of you who really likes to laugh. Just close your eyes every time someone sticks a scalpel or a needle into someone else.Īnd lastly, the method of time travel aka the gimmick that brings Heo Im from past to future, is one of the most unique ones I've seen, and not one I would voluntarily choose.
If you are a sucker for character driven stories, then give this one a try. But, if you're not into medical dramas, this might not be your thing, however, let me just say that the medicine is just a vehicle to drive the show, it's not really what this show is about. Yes, it is about medicine, both modern and traditional, and yes, it does glamorize medicine in ways that aren't necessarily realistic sometimes, but I can forgive because it is a fantasy (time travel, hello?). I also want to mention a little something about the medical aspects of this drama. I'm sure I'll pay more attention on re-watch, which I most certainly plan on doing. I can't comment too much on the OST only to say that it suited the themes, wasn't overbearing, and highlighted the poignancy of the show. I'm not seen anything else with either of them in, so I'll definitely have to look out for them both. Kim Ah Joong took me a while to warm up to, but I think part of that was due to her character's thawing out with each episodes, and by the end, I was definitely mesmerized by her skill. Kim Nam Gil was simply amazing start to finish and has the ability to be goofy and bumbling but also serious and intense all within the span of seconds. Not only was their chemistry off the charts, but it was so natural and realistic, that I almost felt voyeuristic in some scenes and all they had to do was look at each other. Whoever cast Kim Nam Gil as Heo Im and Kim Ah Joong as Choi Ahn Kyung together as the leads deserves a medal. It could have gone the route of being preachy, but I don't believe it ever veered there, and even the characters who made wrong choices were also humanized in a way that didn't make you absolutely hate them. What I love is how the writer had such a delicate touch when dealing with heavier topics. They learn and grow together in such an organic way that it is beautiful to watch in action. You see, more than anything, this story is a character story, and though it might start off as a story of things and circumstances happening to our characters and making them react, it evolves into a story about choices, self-determination, and ultimately, what it is that defines them as people. As they start to learn more about each other and their different methodologies, so do they also begin to learn about themselves. the plot itself wasn't too complex, a doctor from Joseon who practices traditional oriental medicine more out of greed than empathy, is transported through time to modern day Seoul to meet a cardiothoracic surgeon who see's her patients only as the internal organs she can repair. Well, I got that and so much more with Live Up To Your Name. And I'm a sucker for romantic comedies, so I was looking for a light romp and plenty of fish out of water fun stuff etc. What was I expecting? I enjoy a good time travel, especially when it mixes modern and Joseon eras, ala Queen Inhyun's Man.
I'm sure there are some there, if you dig, but damn, I don't want them to be pointed out to me because this drama took me completely by surprise and I fell head over heels in love with it. Rewatch Value 10 I can't find faults with this drama.
