Live Up To Your Name (2017)

In the heart of Joseon era, Heo Im, a master of acupuncture, is revered by the less fortunate for his healing prowess. Despite his humble birth, he yearns for recognition from the ruling elite, and thus, surreptitiously caters to the wealthy under the cloak of nightfall. His life takes a dramatic twist when he's summoned to serve as the royal healer. In his haste to seize this opportunity, he leaves an ailing commoner untreated. However, fate has a cruel sense of humor, and a catastrophic blunder forces him into a desperate escape, with the king’s guards hot on his tail. On the brink of death, he inexplicably awakens in the bustling metropolis of modern-day Seoul. Here, he crosses paths with Choi Yeon Kyung, a relentless and tenacious surgeon who holds a deep skepticism of traditional medicine, prioritizing life over wealth. Their worlds collide, and their contrasting philosophies spark an initial discord. Yet, the whirlwind of destiny that has swept them together will soon reveal a profound mutual understanding and respect. As Heo Im, a man out of time, navigates the labyrinth of the 21st century, and Choi Yeon Kyung, a woman of the modern world, grapples with ancient wisdom, they find themselves entwining deeper into each other's lives. "Live Up To Your Name" is a vibrant tapestry of past and present, tradition and innovation, and a testament to the timeless and universal pursuit of healing.
