  There it is! haha. I have heard so many good things about Kim Nam Gil and still haven’t actually seen him in a drama, so I would be thrilled to finally see him, particularly if paired with Seo Ye Ji 🙂

    Try Live Up To Your Name. There is also Queen Seondeok and The Fiery Priest.

      I do know Live Up To Your Name is supposed to be quite good, but I don’t usually do medical dramas 🙁 Now Queen Seondeok and The Fiery Priest are both on my list though. And this drama seems right up my alley. So hopefully, I will get to him in the near future 🙂

Deserving of the Name!
It deserves more applauses. 😍
The doctor things might bother you, but it’s an all-in drama that touches every little thing in a drama: romance, comedy, fantasy (and time travel at that) and mystery.

  I know it’s supposed to be amazing, and everything does sound appealing to me except the doctor stuff, but I always have major regrets when I watch doctor dramas no matter how good they are, lol 🤣

    It is more of a time travel drama, with some doctor stuff mixed in. I would not classify it as a medical drama.

      Are there still a lot of medical scenes dealing with surgery or injuries though?

        More acupuncture than surgery.

        Well, acupuncture I can do, I just don’t like the realistic surgery scenes, hehe 🙂

        There weren’t any scenes like that, if I remember correctly.

        As I’d recall I think there were very very few, like a couple of first scenes of Kim Ah Jong (female lead). Other than that, the medical stuffs lie more on acupunctures, and I enjoyed it very much.
