Synopsis:
The story follows a brain surgeon named, Minakata Jin, who has spent the last two years in anguish, as his fiancee lies in a vegetative state after an operation he performed. One day, he faints at the hospital and awakens to find himself transported back in time to the Edo period. He is soon attacked by a samurai, but he escapes with the help of a man named Kyotaro. Kyotaro suffers a serious injury to the head while trying to protect him, but Jin manages to save his life despite a lack of proper medical equipment. Because of that, Kyotaro's sister Saki begins taking an interest in Jin and becomes his assistant. Meanwhile, Jin is determined to find a way back to the present.

I was waiting for someone to create a topic on this show, but no one did lol. What did everyone think of the first episode? I thought the first 20 minutes was a little bit boring, but once Jin was transported back, it became interesting. I'm hoping that this will be my must-watch drama of the season. I'm also hoping someone uploads the .avi file in 1280x720 version
BTW, for fans of ROOKIES, Kyotaro Tachibana and Kenta Kiritani are in it. And for fans of NINKYO HELPER, the kid reminded me a lot of Ryota haha.
Spoilers EP01

Oh, and forget the SAW movies and Takashi Miike, watching the operations in the show totally traumatized me. So intense and cringeworthy. Especially the operation on the woman...augh. But I kinda loved it haha.
The only thing that annoyed me was that old woman that kept trying to stab Jin...someone give her a good backhand.

I couldn't agree more with the first 20 minutes but I think it was necessary to build up the backstory. Thruthfully speaking, I was waiting for it to just move on, but later on in the episode it draws upon this so that you can understand where Minakata is coming from.
Abosolutely enjoyed the rest of the episode and love how puzzled the poor Edo-period populous were when being bombarded with medical terms. The first episode has made me really excited and it has set up the foundations for the rest of the story. I can't wait for the second episode.... perhaps I shall watch it on Keyhole TV
EDIT: The kid was more of a brat than what Ryota (Ninkyo Helper) ever was! Though, he did an awesome dogeza pose.

Ok i just watch the 1st episode with chinese subs and i must say WOW this got to be 1 of the best drama this season.Prior to watching i was thinking the main lead is not that attractive enough for me to watch but i can tell you all that is simply so wrong!!The story plot was fantastic and so refreshing from the normal romance type.
I love medical dramas but this got to be 1 of the best protrayed medical drama.Going back to the Edo period is so funny yet so exciting.I was like sitting on the edge of my seat thinking what will happened next..It somehow mixes the essence of tenchijin + team batista gosu medical skills together as one.I can't wait for the next episode seriously.

well it was said that since he changed the history(the mum who had her head hit by the horse was supposed to died in history but he saved her), the victory sign in the photo also changes..

just watched ep1
it's good, just like everyone say
the thing is although Minakata doing surgery in the edo era which there is no technology or else like we have in the modern, but in this drama the doctor still holding the basic of medicine like sterilization etc, so it's make me feel 'oh it make a sense'
It is a must watch drama for this season

That guy Jin is running after ia not a rookie samurai, he is a ronin, which is a lordless samurai.
-----
I wonder how far the production company/author of the script is going to go cause this show could be very very interesting. First off that guy Jin is running after is a real guy in Japanese history, and Jin realizes he is getting involved in some important Japanese history. Also, I think he realizes that he has already changed the future, and that the place he came from is not the same one as before, so I wonder if he would even want to go back,
But I really want to know how far they are going to take this? Sakamoto Ryoma, the guy Jin is running after is planning on killing Katsu Kaishu, played by Kohinata Fumiya. I won't say what he does, so go and read wikipedia if you want to know, but what if he does something different? What if Jin is the reason, and was always the reason that Ryoma does what he does?
I guess Jin wasn't a Trekker cause all I am thinking about is Kirk and the Federation Prime Directive. Jin has landed right in the middle of an important part, Bakumatsu Period, and anything he does is going to change an important part of Japanese history.

Epic Drama . The first episode was awesome. My two favourite actors from j movies particularly Christmas on 25th Avenue , it just couldn't get any better. A definite must watch this season. It's so awesome to see great actors doing doramas

This series is definitely the best fall drama for me. I have watched a few of new dramas but none of them made me want to continue watching them except JIN. I always love historical drama and now it's mixing with medical plot line. It's so interesting! I hope they can maintain the pace of the story. It can be an epic drama if they want
I was just wondering if anyone has come across the manga (scanned or otherwise) as I'm pretty intrigued by the story. Any help will be most appreciated!

I think it's wonderful how I was totally immersed into the story to even realize that the casting lineup is suppose to be the one which is more impressive (2 of which supposedly do only movies in recent years).
Then you have the principle vs ethics + adaptability vs improvisatory factors that pretty much sealed the "interesting content" deal for me.
So yeah, this one is a sure-watch this season.
