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 »

Dr. Jin: Episode 9
Our good doctor runs into some trouble as he’s more or less forced into Ha-eung’s political machinations, with his clinic and reputation as a doctor becoming collateral damage in the struggle between officials, obscenely terrible royal physicians, and secret spies. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from Dr. Jin, it’s that conveniently-timed surgeries change minds... More »

Dr. Jin: Episode 8
This episode showed a marked improvement from its predecessors by turning the focus inward, with a interesting political through line that’s starting to show its colors. It’s one I’d been waiting for ever since knowing Lee Ha-eung would be a key player, and even with the clunky directing you just can’t overshadow plain ol’ good... More »

Dr. Jin: Episode 7
It’s like the story takes us two steps forward, only for the editing to take us three steps back. Hyuk decides to stick it to history and invent penicillin himself, consequences be damned, only there aren’t any consequences (yet). Despite that, this episode had some good performances while introducing a new case for our doctor... More »

Dr. Jin: Episode 6
Cholera? What cholera? Our good doctor has a new disease and a new conspiracy to face, not to mention his own ethical concerns, as he finally comes face to face with how deep his impact might be on history as we might not know it… because this could all be set in a parallel universe,... More »

Dr. Jin: Episode 5
What happens when the only competent doctor in Joseon is down for the count, and the only other doctor is a psychopath? Epidemics, fires, victims and villains all come to the fore as Hyuk struggles to do right by his principles, even when fate seems to be working against him. This episode showed some improvement,...
