“The Great Doctor“
One of the best examples of a fantasy fusion historical drama is “The Great Doctor,” starring Lee Min Ho and Kim Hee Sun. The series follows a modern-day plastic surgeon who is kidnapped by a royal guard and taken back to the Goryeo Dynasty. There, she’s forced to save the queen’s life but soon becomes caught up in palace intrigue, war, and a destiny she never imagined. Her greatest struggle is figuring out how to return to her own time—while also navigating a growing bond with the loyal warrior who brought her there.
What makes “The Great Doctor” stand out is how well it blends fantasy, medical drama, and political power struggles with time-slip elements. Lee Min Ho perfectly embodies the stoic yet steadfast warrior, while Kim Hee Sun shines as the spirited modern woman who refuses to back down. Their romance feels both destined and bittersweet, making us root for them even as the odds stack up. On top of that, the show treats us to gorgeous cinematography, grand battle scenes, and heartfelt character arcs.

There, she meets a young king struggling to modernize his kingdom. Though she doubts herself, her modern-day knowledge of math and science quickly proves invaluable, turning her into the best scientist in Joseon! What follows is a mix of hilarious culture clashes, heartfelt lessons, and a sweet romance that blooms in the unlikeliest of places.

What makes “Rooftop Prince” truly unforgettable is its perfect balance of laugh-out-loud comedy and heartfelt emotion.

On top of that, the mystery element keeps you hooked, with each episode answering questions and revealing new twists that make it impossible to stop watching.
