Dr. Jin: Episode 17
We get a pretty decent first half before this episode really lays on the WTFery, with rapid changes happening everywhere. In what other show can both leads make faces while looking at someone’s genitalia? Not a good one, I tell you. Hyuk is now an OB/GYN and midwife all in one, and as usual, the... More »

Extension updates: Dr. Jin yes, Gentleman no
After a few weeks of maybes and We’re negotiating and rumors, weekend shows Dr. Jin and A Gentleman’s Dignity have both come out with official stances on the state of their futures: Dr. Jin will be getting its hoped-for extension after all, while weekend ratings winner A Gentleman’s Dignity will wrap without any additional installments....

Dr. Jin: Episode 16
The time slip mechanism is more or less explained, and while it’s not too surprising, the details reach a whole new level of weird and convoluted and… well, just plain weird. Turns out there’s more than one brain fetus, maybe even an infinite number of brain fetuses, and Hyuk’s in particular has a bone to... More »

Dr. Jin: Episode 15
Hyuk battles cancer with his bloodiest surgery yet, and gets revisited by an old, tiny little friend we haven’t seen for a while in the process. There’s plenty of heartbreak to go with this cancer-curing operation, with some of our characters passing the point of no return while others are just getting warmed up, or... More »

Time-slipping Dr. Jin wants more time
More episodes of Dr. Jin? I’d ask if those producers are high, but if you’ve seen the show, I think you’ll already know. I particularly wonder at the reasoning because Dr. Jin isn’t pulling super ratings. The fusion-historical-medical-unintentionally-hilarious weekend drama has okay numbers (its most recent episode pulled a 13.2% rating), but those on their... More »

Dr. Jin: Episode 14
It’s time for Hyuk to face his most demanding disease yet: Cancer, with a healthy dose of Noble Idiocy. This is one of those episodes that just has to be seen in order to be believed, because it manages to fit farting kings, possibly malignant tumors, appendicitis, candlelit breast exams, and a really dangerous-looking blood...

Dr. Jin: Episode 13
Some interesting revelations this episode, though our good doctor seems stuck in the spin cycle of his own doctorly principles and that pesky thing we call a moral compass. I can’t be the only one who wants to see the day when Hyuk will run into a sickness he can’t immediately diagnose on sight and... More »

Dr. Jin: Episode 12
Now Dr. Jin is entertaining for the right/intentional reasons, which is a late-game reversal but certainly not an unwelcome one. This episode really stepped up the ante of actions versus consequences, giving Hyuk a host of moral dilemmas with seemingly easy solutions that turn into bad news bears for everyone else. It’s almost as if... More »

Dr. Jin: Episode 11
Stop the presses, this episode was actually good. It achieved what it was going for, giving us a poignant, introspective, thrilling, and adventurous ride into the repercussions of Hyuk’s historical meddling. Finally, the question of fate is laid out on the table, and Hyuk may finally be realizing that he can’t always depend on History... More »

Dr. Jin: Episode 10
No royal birthday is ever a normal affair, and this one comes chock to the brim with assassination attempts, confrontations, poisoning, your normal share of political maneuvering, and the biggest clown car operating room we’ve seen yet. In short, there’s fun to be had. I liked this episode because of all the forward movement it... More »
