The Story

 

A Joseon doctor who specializes in acupuncture accidentally time-travels to modern day Seoul.   At first he is overwhelmed with his new surroundings, but a beautiful surgeon and her father take him in and help him adjust to his new life.  Eager to learn all he can from the advanced techniques of modern medicine, he finds a job at a traditional medical facility in the city.  And as he begins to settle into his new life and build relationships with the people around him in the present, he wonders if he wouldn't be happy staying here and never returning to the past he left behind.  But he is torn between his heart and his sense of responsibility.

Should I Watch

 

Live up to Your Name - Unspoiled Review

"Live up to Your Name" is a time travel drama with a medical twist.  The comedy elements are fun and the romance is sweet.  If you have an interest in traditional medicine, this one is an interesting watch.  The story is unique and Kim Nam Gil is wonderful as the gifted, though sometimes clumsy, physician.  If you are looking for a serious, realistic hospital series, this is not it, although it does have its heartbreaking medical moments. But the heart of this drama is more about the characters and their relationships than the cases themselves.    I give "Live up to Your Name" a 9 out of 10 ramen.
