I don't even know why I started watching this. The subject matter is really far outside of my comfort zone. Typically I don't like Joseon era dramas (hats, politics, hats again)& I especially loathe oriental medicine as a whole, I think that it's a 50 billion dollar scam industry. This drama too often feels like a paid advertisement for that industry, oriental doctors & real doctors coexisting/cooperating harmoniously, how nice!

Why did I give it 7 stars still? Well, the humor is pretty good, albeit it brings nothing new to the "oh no I found myself in the age of Camelot, or knight of the round table in modern London" genre. It's full of embarrassing jokes, that are almost difficult to watch at times. The romance is good, there is more than enough chemistry between the leads & there is no love triangle. The story could have done without the trivial & typical hospital politics stuff. I'm not entirely satisfied with how the show ended either, first we had the typical noble, let's separate, because I'm needed back there & then the story concludes with a 5 minute long happy ending.
