Two of the biggest Kdrama

I know some good Korean movies and TV shows that are not well-recognized but are perfectly made with creative storylines that take the mind into a fantasy world when watching. Two of such are Faith: The Great Doctor and Gu Family Book (Kang Chi). Anytime I’m asked to recommend Korean movies or series, they are always at the top of my list.

Faith: The Great Doctor:

It was many years ago that my younger one bought the DVD plate of the series. I watched only one season, and then a cousin borrowed it and refused to return it despite all my pleas. I wanted to continue watching it by all means because of how interesting the first season was. Funny enough, it was later, during the years when movies had become downloadable on the phone, that I downloaded all the seasons and finally gave it a shot.

The movie has a fictional storyline with a touch of fantasy, where time travel in its realness was used. It shows different and far-away centuries merged together.

Choi Young seeks the healing power needed to attend to Princess Nogoog. He has to use the link between their world and another world to travel and get a healer. Yeah, the “other world” he travels to is a modern city — a 21st-century city — while they are 700 years below. Surprisingly, the healer he finds and kidnaps is just a regular doctor, a female doctor whom he saw treating people. He drags her away, uses the same chamber, and returns to his world — a world completely strange to the kidnapped doctor, Eun-soo. Did you comprehend that? I found that idea in the storyline very creative.

In the movie, many dramas unfold, with Eun-soo trying to figure out the world she has found herself in, and other top political groups wanting to have Eun-soo to themselves because of the powers they think she possesses. And guess what? She doesn’t have any powers — it’s her medical skills that appear to them as supernatural! If you haven’t seen this series, you’ve been missing out on one of the biggest K-dramas in the world!

Here comes Gu Family Book,

A fantasy story with a storyline that will launch the mind into the fantasy realm. The best part of this series is the ending. It shows how people can be recreated identically from their first existence. Gosh! That part made me want to meet the scriptwriter and give him or her all the money in my wallet. Lol

Thanks for reading
