    Genial!!

    Truly a fantastic series that grabs you from the beginning, interesting from every point of view, I congratulate the director his team and all the artists who act there because they really are very good. Ryoma you make me laugh sometimes!

    You learn a lot about the history of Japan from its food, from the harsh reality they lived through and how they got through it.

    The most important thing for me is the message that is always there to keep moving forward, fight and be the cause to achieve what you want while maintaining a defined purpose, makeup, costumes, stage and sound, everything in place.

    Drama masterpiece

    This is a gem. Captivating story, endearing characters, superb acting, superior production values and fantastic music. A treat not only for those with an interest in Japanese history, but for anyone looking for thoughtful, engaging drama.

    This series is a MASTERPIECE

    The Jin series is truly a masterpiece! If you're a fan of time travel narratives, this one stands out as one of the finest from start to finish. The storytelling is compelling, and the performances are pretty great across the board. I could easily name so many of the cast members who brought their characters to life with great skill. However, it's the dynamic between Jin and Saki that truly captured my heart. Ryoma Sakamoto's character adds an irreplaceable personality to the series, elevating it to a whole new level. Without him, it simply wouldn't be the same. Many supporting characters add their own unique flavor, making each moment feel rich and engaging.

    Extremely pleasant to watch: a timeless, universal dimension. You'll be hooked.

    A touching series from start to finish, well acted, in a very Japanese style. We get lost in the political turmoil around 1860 in Japan, where war between factions was apparently the order of the day. But the surgeon Jin, who inexplicably travels back in time to this era, brings a magnificent touch of humanity, tolerance and mutual aid, where he puts all his medical and surgical knowledge at the service of all, without distinction. The two seasons focus on how he passes on his medical knowledge and know-how to a team of doctors, including the charming Saki, who is entirely devoted to learning the art of medicine from Jin. The extremely beautiful and pure relationship between them occupies a large part of the story's unfolding. Young Saki is the model of a young woman of great purity and touching idealism. A platonic relationship of respect and admiration grows deeply with Jin. In a very Asian style, the series takes the time to show the feelings between Jin and Saki, through the many adventures the two of them have in saving lives. In Jin's hospital, they reinvent penicillin and other modern techniques inconceivable at the time. The series isn't perfect. There's a lot of repetition, and the reference to Jin's sense of history 140 years before his time can be tiresome. In spite of this, the series is extremely pleasant to watch and has a timeless, universal dimension. You'll be hooked.
