Dr. Jin (Korean: 닥터 진) or Time Slip Dr. Jin is a South Korean television drama series about a 21st century neurosurgeon who travels back in time to the Joseon Dynasty, with Song Seung-hun in the title role.[1]
Based on the Japanese manga series Jin written by Motoka Murakami, the series is the third television adaptation of the manga following the Japanese television drama JIN, starring Takao Osawa which aired on TBS in 2009 and its sequel in 2011.[2]
"Revamped with Korean sentiment," the setting was changed from the original's Edo period to the Joseon Dynasty, and real-life Japanese historical figure Sakamoto Ryoma was replaced with Joseon political figure Lee Ha-eung.[3]
Plot
Jin Hyuk is a gifted neurosurgeon who was born into a family of doctors. His success rate in surgery hovers at 100%, with his ability to quickly analyze any situation and extremely steady hands. Due to his personal pursuit of perfection, he has a cold attitude and lacks compassion. He is planning to propose to his beloved girlfriend Yoo Mi-na, when after an argument, Mi-na gets into an accident and lapses into a coma.
After surgically removing a fetus-shaped tumor from a patient's brain, a mysterious power causes Jin Hyuk to travel 150 years back in time to the year 1860 during the Joseon Dynasty, when medical technology was still in its infant stages. He begins treating people of the era, but the lack of necessary implements and rudimentary medical knowledge of the period forces him to develop medical devices and medicine by himself, and seek new ways to aid the sick. Through this challenging process and with the help of young noblewoman Young-rae (who looks exactly like Mi-na), Jin Hyuk becomes a true doctor.
