Plot
Based on the life of Heo Jun. The son of a low-level politician, Heo Jun studied medicine. He soon became more sought-after than his teacher and his social status was officially increased until he was granted nobility and allowed to be the king's personal physician. Surviving several plots against him by the jealous nobles, Heo Jun eventually succumbs to the black plague.
Sinekatalog’s take
Based on the life of Heo Jun, a low-level politician's son who becomes the king's personal physician, survives plots by jealous nobles and dies of plague. A Korean historical biopic that should interest fans of medical-court dramas.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
