From the outside, the drama Faith the Great Doctor only looks like a love story, wars and political conflicts never end. but if you really watch it, you'll know that "faith" and "the great doctor" isn't just a title.
yoo eunsoo and jang bin are two doctors from different eras, eunsoo comes from the modern world in 2012 where doctors in that era did not make their own medicine and always depended on modern tools, especially to surgery, of course...
while jang bin, who came from 1331, was not familiar with these tools. nor was he familiar with surgical techniques. but he made medicine for his own patients and made various attempts to cure patients without modern surgical instruments...
the two are also different, jangbin has a calm demeanor and never gives up, whereas eunsoo who has been stressed because many of the modern tools needed are not there. but the author has written such a great story, over time, eunsoo became a doctor who never gave up...
she was able to be calm like jang bin. she studied acupuncture. she studied goryeo-era herbs, plants and other materials that could be made into medicine. she also studied traditional medical techniques, and managed to become a real great doctor, even without her modern tools...
in this drama there is also a physical or mental illness that you might ignore. muscle tumors, appendixes, neck incisions, liver punctures, insect poison, paralytic poison, poison that burns internal organs and arrows stabbed in the back. while for mental illness...
there is narcissistic, alien hand syndrome, depressed, anxiety disorders, sociopath, nightmare disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder. suicide cases are even involved many times in this drama. healers not only have to cure the patient's illness, but also the patient's mental.
and "faith"
the title was completely consistent throughout the episodes. the faith that is not only shared by the main cast, but also the king and queen, lady choi, woodalchi, jang bin, suribang and prince gyeong chang...
you have to watch it to know what i mean, even the antagonists like Ki Cheol also have that "faith".
