Live Up To Your Name Dr. Heo is a drama about a doctor who travels through time. Dr. Heo has a special way of time-traveling. You'll just have to watch the drama to see how he does it though. We again see the k-drama world shaking things up in terms of drama genres. This isn't just a typical time-traveling drama! It's a rom-com/time-traveling drama. This drama does not have the most complex plot out there, but it'll probably make you laugh several times throughout each episode.

PLOT
-------

It's another one of those drama where the rich upper-class are the villains and our poor (very literally poor) Dr. Heo is the main protagonist.

Dr. Heo Im meets Dr. Choi Yeon Kyung when he time-travels to the present. At first they are constantly at odds with each other. The two begins to get closer as they go on various time traveling excursions into the past. They begin to understand and fall for each other as they spend more and more time in each other's respective time period. The writer and director then sprinkles a little bit of time travel and medicine here and there. This drama is as simple as that. Don't get me wrong though. I really really really liked the drama for its comedy, but the plot (in terms of memorable events ) just doesn't have enough impact. The comedy was also at its best at the beginning of the drama.

CAST
------

The writer and director makes up for the bland plot by creating a drama with very memorable character interactions! Oh man! I completely fell in love with the two main characters in this drama. The actor that plays Dr. Heo is hilarious! I especially loved the hilarious moments at the beginning of the drama when he was trying to adjust to 2017. When the two main characters are together their actions feed off of each other creating some pretty funny moments too. The romantic moments in the shows are pretty great as well. There seemed to be a lot of chemistry between the two. Their kissing scenes were pretty realistic. It's not like some other dramas where it seemed like one of the characters didn't want to be kissed or be there. There were some funny naughty innuendos sprinkled throughout the drama too haha. Overall I'm glad these two were paired together because it made the drama that much greater.

The supporting cast was okay. Not boring or annoying, but likeable with the grandfather and the old lady with the pig as my favorites. Though my one and only gem will be Kim Nam Gil. His performance will last for a long time - especially his overly rigid laugh and funny facial expressions

Music
--------
I have nothing much to say about the music and the OST. This drama's main genre isn't music so the music anything new or overly great. Overall I liked the music. It wasn't too memorable, but at least the music didn't seem out of place.

Rewatch
----------
This show has a middle of the pack value.I wouldn't rewatch it as the plot is very light and the romance-comedy elements are not big pullers for me . Too much focus on trying to make accupunture look cool and better than modern medicine. [spoiler] I understand the rich want to have home visits by doctors but why a oriental doctor in modern world ? [/spoiler]

Verdict
---------
This is a great drama to watch for those of you who really likes to laugh and looking for light hearted romance after watching some dark -serious shows back to back. I can't say I recommend this drama but if you like Kim Nam Gil give it a go I guess.
