Dr. Jin is a South Korean historical drama series that aired on MBC America back in 2012. The series stars an ensemble cast, including Kim Jae Joong, Park Min Young, Song Seung-heon, Lee So-yeon, and Fabien. The show revolves around the story of a brilliant and talented neurosurgeon named Jin Hyuk. The protagonist time travels back to the 19th century during the reign of King Cheoljong, where he meets remarkable people from the past era and experiences the culture and traditions of old Korea.

The show opens with an introduction to a modern-day neurosurgeon named Jin Hyuk, who is famous for his excellent skills and innovative ideas in the field of medicine. But one day, while operating on a patient, Jin Hyuk suddenly finds himself transported to the year 1860 during his patient's surgery. He is shocked and confused by the sudden change of scenario and is taken aback when he discovers that his patient is none other than the wife of a nobleman from the Joseon dynasty.

As he navigates through this new-old environment, Jin Hyuk meets various people, including Hong Young-hui, a beautiful and headstrong woman, and Lee Ha-eung, a powerful and influential figure from the Joseon dynasty. As he struggles to find his bearings in this new and foreign world, Jin Hyuk is forced to confront the challenges of life in a completely different era.

Throughout the series, Jin Hyuk faces challenges that push him to rethink his beliefs and question the limits of his medical knowledge. One of the key themes of the show is the tension between science and tradition. As a modern-day physician, Jin Hyuk approaches medicine with a scientific and rational mindset, but he soon finds himself confronted by the limitations of his knowledge in an era where medicine and science are still in their infancy. At the same time, he must navigate the cultural and social expectations of the era, including strict codes of conduct and aristocratic hierarchy.

The show also explores the relationships between the characters, including the love triangle that develops between Jin Hyuk, Young-hui and Prince Lee Ha-eung. The complex and multifaceted characters add depth and nuance to the show, as they confront the challenges of their time and try to negotiate their own desires and relationships in a world that is bound by strict conventions.

Dr. Jin is a visual feast, with stunning period costumes and beautifully shot scenes that transport the viewer to a bygone era. The show also explores the political and social issues of the time, including tensions between the ruling classes, the struggle for power, and the conflicts between different factions. The complex political landscape adds a layer of intrigue and tension to the show, as Jin Hyuk and his companions find themselves drawn into the machinations of the Joseon court.

Overall, Dr. Jin is a compelling historical drama that offers a unique blend of science, history, and romance. The show's excellent writing, talented cast, and beautiful visuals make it a standout entry in the popular historical drama genre. With its compelling storyline and rich cultural context, Dr. Jin is a must-watch for anyone interested in Korean history, medical drama or romantic tension.
