Quantcast

I’m really interested in TCM so if you know any dramas similar to Gen Z please recommend them! 

If Korean traditional medicine counts, Live Up to Your Name is about a Joseon doctor, given the drama treatment so certainly not all that accurate, but still! I didn't finish it because comic historical without a strong romance just isn't my jam. But it's a good drama!

It's been too long since I watched the Once Upon a Time in China series of movies starring Jet Li as protagonist Wong Fei-Hung, who is a doctor who does acupuncture in one or more of the films. The character is based on a notable historical figure.

There's a supporting character in Blossoms in Adversity who is a TCM savant, and just a few scenes where she helps others heal.

Just throwing this here… both traditional medicine and acupuncture are tags here you can search, so I am linking you to results for titles for both those tags (some will have one or the other based on the ones editing it, but if it is a tag, generally, it means it is prominent enough to make a searchable feature/theme, the higher ones like the two already suggested being ones where those tags are voted up). I also liked Live Up To Your Name… ah, and The Third Ward, an older title, is intriguing (or was in 2012 when I saw it lol… maybe bc I am a neurologist who likes [science-supported] integrative medicine, though, similar to me enjoying Live Up to Your Name which is no doubt higher quality if a time slip master from 400 years ago situation is up your alley) as it is set in a hospital with both eastern and western medicine. That one is here and missing the tag at the moment bc older ones haven’t been as fleshed out: https://kisskh.at/3337-the-3rd-ward

You can also, in the search area on the right, x out the tag picked and look up traditional medicine doctor ML/FL or acupuncturist ML/fl etc. but it is most comprehensive to only do one at a time since some might not specify every single relevant tag!
