Decent enough

The drama had a weak and uninteresting start but it managed to pick itself back up after some time. Some patients' stories didn't blend well with what was going on and it passed off as an interruption. It shares a lot of similarities with Jewel in the Palace (2003) but with a less attractive cast. Not only that but it also shares the same problems Jewel in the Palace (2003) had had. You may refer to my comment there. In comparison, I would nudge this one slightly higher since it had a more raw feeling to it. The drama also had a modern remake back in 2013. There was no specific fundamental issues with the base story to prompt a remake. There were too many identical copy-pasted scenes and jokes, they don't take any creative freedom with the core story/scenes to make the remake worthwhile. Although the remake is longer but this came at the expense of its pace since the extended content was poorly utilized and made it a worse experience overall. A lot of over exaggeration/dramatization and a lot less human. I hoped the remake would have a better written ending but no, it was identical frame by frame to the original. I prefer this version over the remake for its roughness, rawness and concise cut, it makes for a better watch.

i had high expectaion from this drama since it was made by the same team who made jewel in the palace. i was dissapointed big time. some episodes are so dragging to watch, worthy of fast forwarding. i skipped a lot of scenes, some sub plots didnt even help at all.

acting wise, all actors did great. the love story between the two main leads were not fully developed, its acceptables since its not a love story but more on the struggle of hur jun becoming a doctor.

compare to jewel in the palace (which i rewatched 3times), i dont see myself rewatching this ever.

im planning to see the 2013 version as soon as i find a link for it.

Considering its age, I had no high expectations from this drama, but I was pleasantly surprised!

I wasn't expecting much from this drama, but it turned out to be better than I thought. It felt a bit outdated, but it was still a good discovery. The story progressed well, but it didn't have a compelling pull. The small amount of romance involving Lady Ye Jin could have been omitted. The quality of the storyline declined significantly in the last ten episodes. However, overall, it was still an enjoyable watch.

A Jornada de um Médico que Curou Corações e Mentes

"Hur Jun," transmitido pela MBC em 1999, é um dorama histórico profundamente envolvente que narra a vida e os desafios de Hur Jun, um médico lendário da dinastia Joseon. Baseado em uma figura histórica real, a série combina drama, medicina tradicional e questões sociais, criando uma narrativa rica e inspiradora sobre a determinação e a compaixão de um homem que supera inúmeras adversidades para se tornar um dos médicos mais respeitados de sua época.

O dorama segue a vida de Hur Jun desde sua juventude humilde, marcada por dificuldades devido à sua origem como filho ilegítimo de um nobre, até seu crescimento como um brilhante médico da corte. A trama foca em suas lutas para aprender medicina tradicional coreana, suas interações com pacientes de todas as classes sociais e sua busca incessante por conhecimento, apesar das barreiras sociais e políticas que enfrenta.

"Hur Jun" se destaca não apenas pela precisão histórica e pelos detalhes da prática médica tradicional, mas também por explorar temas universais como ética, moralidade e o poder do conhecimento para transformar vidas. A série aborda com sensibilidade as questões de discriminação social e o impacto das hierarquias de classe, mostrando como Hur Jun usa suas habilidades para desafiar o status quo e salvar vidas, independentemente da posição social dos pacientes.

O desempenho do elenco, especialmente do ator principal, é comovente e poderoso, capturando a evolução de Hur Jun de um jovem inexperiente a um sábio e compassivo curandeiro. A cinematografia da série realça a beleza da era Joseon, com cenários autênticos e uma atenção cuidadosa aos detalhes históricos.

Com uma trilha sonora que evoca a época e uma narrativa que combina momentos emocionantes com lições de vida, "Hur Jun" é um dorama que ressoa profundamente com o público. A série é um retrato inspirador de como a perseverança, a empatia e a busca pelo bem maior podem superar qualquer obstáculo. É uma obra essencial para os fãs de dramas históricos e para aqueles interessados na rica história da medicina tradicional coreana.
