Absolutely gorgeous hanbok, Jaejoong–they should allow you to keep it–it fits you that well.  Congratulations Mr. Kim–you are truly convincing in this role.  <3

This drama is going to be an excellent one. From the beginning the acting is great and the storyline is strong. Jaejoong is convincing in his role as a hanbok covered, pistol and sword-bearing military officer. He sits his horse well and presents his character well.

Dr. Jin is an excellent neurosurgeon who needs a lesson in humanity.
He is catapulted 160 years into the past at a crucial moment in his life. His girlfriend is recovering from emergency surgery, and there is a mystery involving a mysterious fetus figure that seems to be involved in his going back in time.

I can relate to this theme because I love to explore multi-universe theories. Quantum Physics is a grand subject

By Episode Two Dr. Jin’s character, Jin Hyuk, is firmly entrenched and he is immediately needing to use his surgical skills. His life hangs in the balance for the majority of Episode Two. I anticipate that the heroine and love interest in this drama, Hong Young Rae, will become torn between our dashingly handsome Kim Jaejoong as Kim Gyeong Tak and Song Seung Heon as Dr Jin.

I am looking forward to Episodes Three and Four with much anticipation.

Song Seung-heon Becomes Time-Traveling Dr. Jin

by | February 20, 2012

Looks like Song Seung-heon is heading to cable with all the other big stars, with the upcoming — get this — fantasy-medical-fusion-sageuk, time-traveling, manga-adapted series titled Time Slip Dr. Jin. Phew, that’s a mouthful.

Time Slip Dr. Jin follows an accomplished doctor, Jin Hyuk, who travels back 150 years to the later Joseon era. He comes from a long line of doctors and is a genius himself, with the distinction of being the youngest ever to be admitted to medical school, the youngest to graduate at the top of his class, and the youngest neuroseurgeon. Ah, so Song Seung-heon’s getting his Brain after all.

Because of his own brilliance, however, Dr. Jin is unable to tolerate mistakes in others, and therefore possesses a cold, severe personality. So, not Dr. Funpants then. Basically he’s Doogie, but with the bedside manner of House.

But! Dr. Jin suffers from love’s wounds, and through a mysterious power, finds himself transported from 2012 to 1860. Once a doctor, always a doctor, and he begins treating people in that time period, but he’s hampered by the rudimentary medical advancements of that era, and has to fashion medical implements and make medicines himself. In the process, he becomes “a genuine doctor.” In other words, he grows a heart to match that brain.

The premise is an adaptation of a Japanese manga that was turned into a drama in 2009 titled JIN. The Japanese version appears to have won a number of accolades, which never hurts. But I’m expecting the Korean version to tweak enough things to make the drama its own thing, and it sure has enough influences to draw upon from K-dramaland already: It’s like Faith meets Brain meets Operation Proposal meets Jejoongwon.

By some accounts, Time Slip Dr. Jin will air on new general-programming cable station Channel A (home of Color of Woman and Bachelor’s Vegetable Store). However, a few stories are treading more cautiously, saying that the production is still considering going with a broadcast station.
