A true hidden gem

The only expectation I had from this drama was kim nam gil because I knew he was a very good actor from watching the drama "fiery priest". Comedy is especially his forte, such a talented man, I must say because what I got was 100 times more than my expectations. Kim nam-gil's character was such a dork! He was adorable yet had some serious skills when it came to his job. He is not your average acupuncture doctor!
The female lead played by kim ah Joong,even though I have never seen her on screen before, really impressed me! Her character was cool and charismatic and extremelytalentedat her job ,truly one of a kind female lead!She made me a fan of her so fast! She was never a clueless and helpless woman even for a second. She was quick to do whatever it takes,fight and protect herself to get out of her difficulties. Such a fresh female lead. On top of all that she is so beautiful, always shining on screen!
For me personally I dont enjoy both medical and period dramas much. But this show was so amazing! It had aspects of romantic-comedy, fantasy and medical perfectly blended together. I felt a whole lot of emotions during the show the actors really outdid themselves.
Our leads actually portray one of the most purest and adorable relationships I have ever seen. I really enjoyed how thier relationship and thier relationship with the other characters evolved and thier individual stories of healing and character development.
This show portrays the duty of doctors in both joseon era and modern world. It shows how the doctor's duty has changed and how important it is to the people of the country,under monarchy or democracy. This show really set my moral values on stone and increased my respect for doctors.
Unfortunately though, the story lacks depth,the writer made the past of the main leads a little predictable and simple.There were many dumb things about some parts of the story.The writers were the one that made this show a little weak. It would seem like there is a complex story behind, but it really gives you less than what you expect.
Still I would say this is a hidden gem and better than many of the shows that people hype up.
Highly recommended!
