I'm currently on a medical drama marathon. I started with Dr. Romantic 1, then Season 2, then Dr. John, Doctors and now Live up to Your Name.

I came with no expectation. I thought it was simply the usual drama about doctors, but I was surprised when I realized it was about a doctor from Joseon Period (400 yrs ago) who time-travelled to modern times which will intertwine his fate with a talented cardio doctor. The two will be in a journey of healing (both others and themselves). I know it's in the blurb, but I didn't read it at first. So it was a pleasant surprise when the two leads time-travelled back and forth throughout the series.

In terms of medical content, you'll be pleased to see a lot of scenes in the operating room. Beware though that it will be graphic. It's also interesting that they gave equal attention to acupuncture. It amazes me at how doctors from ancient times were able to heal without the technology that we now enjoy.

The healing journey of the two leads will make you ponder about questions such as "what's the reason why you first wanted to become a doctor (or your field of work)?" and "what can we do to help others?" I'll probably rewatch this again if I need a reminder of these things.

I'm not familiar with both leads, but I'm so surprised with their craft and their chemistry. It's such a sweet relationship that transcends time and generation.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
