Well, Yong Pal will be taken down from Netflix until August 17, 2020, that's until the license is renewed. This show was aired on GMA-7 before. This show is already five years old but it's still pretty good. Joo Woon of The Good Doctor acts as the new doctor named Kim Tae Hyun who gets the alias Yong Pal. This is where a badass sleeping beauty named Han Yeo Jin acted by Kim Tae Hee. Hmmm funny that the writer Jang Hyuk Rin should give the main protagonist a Kim Tae as his name while the secondary protagonist is acted by Kim Tae Hee. Tae Hee who's a badass beauty had been in many other projects like IRIS and Forbidden Love while being part of the typical love story genre. Yes, there's a love story involved as the protagonist Yong Pal enters into a marriage of convenience with Yeo Jin to save her.
What's amazing with the show for me is the medical themes mixed with insane action scenes. Family feud has wayward half-brother Han Doo Joon (Joo Hyun Jae) not awaken her from her medically induced coma. Gotta admit that actor Hyun Jae makes such a despicable villain feel more and more irritating that you sympathize with a vengeance-crazed Yeo Jin for some of her actions. Who wouldn't feel so bad when you were purposely kept asleep for three years and you're stuck in a nightmare. The conspiracy involved also has some medical procedures that you might want to check out. Also, you might end up getting your medical research or high school biology and chemistry books ready. I mean,t here's some science in this show! Though, if you're scared of blood then the viewer's discretion is advised!
The show gets more and more interesting with how things unfold. Yes, it turns out that Tae Hee actually had put herself in roles where you'd wonder if her character would pass away. Remember how Tae Hee played a character with leukemia in Love Story in Harvard? Here, it turns out that giving Yeo Jin doses of ethionine had led to her liver cancer. It's a vital organ and it's scary. I felt the cancer plot wasn't too random either. I mean, she was already fed with some chemicals along the way so it's only normal. Somehow, this show will make you interested more into anatomy IF you're not squeamish. I admit, I'm pretty squeamish myself too!
