Synopsis
Live Up to Your Name (명불허전, 2017) is a Korean historical drama series you can watch online on iFILM, starring Kim Nam-gil and Kim Ah-jung. Director Hong Jong-chan mixes a fish-out-of-water comedy with a slow-burn romance across four centuries.
Heo Im is the finest acupuncturist in the Joseon dynasty — acknowledged even by his rivals — but his low birth blocks any path to the royal court. Then he is hurled into the 21st century, landing in present-day Seoul with no idea how or why. Cardiologist Choi Yeon-kyung takes him in, half-convinced he is a con artist, while he insists her scalpels are brutal and unnecessary.
Two complete medical worldviews collide: needles and centuries of Eastern tradition against operating rooms and digital diagnostics. Neither is willing to back down. That friction is exactly where the series lives. Stream Live Up to Your Name online on iFILM.
