Kim Nam-Gil and Kim A-Joong have been offered lead roles in new tvN drama series “Deserving of the Name” (working and literal title). Currently the two performers are “positively considering” their offers. The drama series will revolve around Joseon era oriental doctor Heo Im (Kim Nam-Gil if he accepts). He somehow travels through time and ends up in present day Seoul. There, he meets physician Choi Yeon-Kyung (Kim A-Joong if she accepts). Choi Yeon-Kyung doesn’t believe in oriental medicine and is prickly to other people. The character of Heo Im is based on a real life historical figure.
“Deserving of the Name” will first air August, 2017 in South Korea.
