"The first modern hospital of the Joeson era, 1885, Korea. Jejoongwon is a fascinating look at the development of Western medicine in turn of the century Korea, and the doctors whose personal and professional challenges are mirrored by the historical and social turbulence of the times. Hwang Jung (Park Yong Woo) uses knives for a livng but he's not a surgeon. An ordinary butcher, he's happy with his lowly profession until the day his mother falls ill and he's unable to afford proper medical care ... Overcoming his poverty, he enters Jejoongwon as a medical student. There, he meets Seok Ran (Han Hye Jin), the daughter of a government official who has entered Jejoongwon as an interpreter. Seok Ran dreams of becoming a doctor at a time when female doctors didn't exit. Studying with them is Baek Do Yang (Yeon Jung Hoon), a nobleman who has left his aristocratic life to enter the medical field. With large-scale unrest happening around them in Korea, these three study cutting-edge medicine as Jejoongwon becomes the first Korean school to teach Western medicine..."--Container.

U, suitable for all ages.
