2. Jejungwon (2010)
No less interesting, Jejungwon is set in the medical world in the royal era. In addition to telling about the medical, it also contains a political element, namely the conflict between the Joseon kingdom when it was still under Japanese pressure.
Interestingly, this drama shows the transition of medical development from conventional to modern. Exactly how about those who fought to establish the first modern hospital in Joseon.
