Synopsis

This is a time-travelling story of a doctor from Joseon era 400 years into the future where he met a cold-hearted modern practitioner.

Heo Im (Kim Nam Gil) is an oriental doctor, acknowledged as the best in acupuncture and moxibustion in Joseon. But due to his status as the son of a concubine, his success is vague.

One day, Heo Im travels though time and finds himself in present day Seoul. He then meets Choi Yeon Kyung (Kim Ah Joong) who is firmly only believing in modern medicine.
