''Faith'' (신의; ''Sinui''; also called ''The Great Doctor'' in some Western translations) is a Korean fantasy/historical/medical 24 episode series aired by SBS from August 13 to October 30, 2012. It stars Kim Hee-sun and Lee Min-ho.
Yoon Eun-soo is a struggling surgeon who left general surgery for the prestige of plastic surgery. Choi Young is the General for the Wooldachi (Royal Guard). He is tasked by the King to get a Doctor from the Heavens to save the Queen of Goryeo (Korean Dynasty). Choi Young travels to modern day Seoul, finds his way to Gangnam, and then runs into Yoon Eun-soo.
The series can be watched [[https://www.viki.com/tv/1058c-the-great-doctor?locale=en on Viki]] with English subtitles.
!!''Faith'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Quite a few but, the most obvious one is that [[spoiler: several of the characters (including the historical ones) have some kind of ''elemental power'', like [[ShockAndAwe lightning]], [[PlayingWithFire fire]] or [[AnIcePerson ice.]]]]
%%* AmazonBrigade: Queen Nogook's bodyguard squad.
* BadassCrew: Plenty of them! You have the Woodalchi, in charge of the protection of the Royal Couple, [[spoiler: the Suribang]] that have all the street connections and, of course, the BigBad's crew.
%%* BatmanGambit: Used by both sides.
%%* BetaCouple: King Gongmin and Queen No Gook.
%%* BigBrotherMentor: Choi Young to Gongmin as well as to the previous king.
%%* BigDamnHeroes: Several characters have at least one of these moments.
* BigEater: Eun Soo. At one point, Choi Young susses that despite being held hostage she is being treated well: she didn't complain about the food.
* BodyguardCrush: Most of the Woodalchi have a soft spot for [[spoiler: Eun Soo]], who also cares a great deal about them, but this applies especially with [[spoiler:her and Choi Young]], with whom she has a pretty romantic relationship almost from the beginning.
%%* CoolBigSis: Eun Soo becomes this to [[spoiler: the Woodalchi, specifically Dae Man and Duk San]] as well as to [[spoiler: Queen No Gook]].
%%* CoolOldLady: Lady Choi and the Aunt that leads the Suribang.
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Choi Young sees no problem with slashing open the throat of an innocent guard as a human guinea pig to see if Eun Soo can save him.
* DudeWheresMyRespect:
** The King often asks himself this, especially in the earlier episodes when the rest of the characters would go against his express wishes and commands, implying that he doesn't know what he's doing nor that they care much for what he thinks.
** [[spoiler: The Chief Advisor Jo Il Shi feels this way when the King starts listening more and more to Choi Young and starts leaving him to the side and out of the loop. Prince Deok Heung takes advantage of this to have Jo Il Shi help him perform a coup.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Used for both the leads in the tag of the first episode.
** Eun Soo's scene sets up her character as energetic, slightly ditzy, and unlucky in love.
** Choi Young shows his fighting skills, apathy, leadership style, and sense of humor.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: A lot of the times when they see one of the good guys do something entirely selfless and sacrificial the BigBad and his crew are stumped and try to rationalise using an explanation that fits ''their'' motives.
* EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily: Surprisingly yes - while Ki Chul can be rather dismissive, he cares to an extent about his protegés and even refers to them as his children or siblings.
* EvilIsHammy: Ki Chul is magnificently over the top. Also [[spoiler: Jo Il Shin]] whenever he feels offended or tries to justify himself, which happens ... too often.
* FortuneTeller: In the present, Eun Soo went to one to see where and when she could find a rich man that would fund her clinic. The fortune teller tells her that her true love will come from the past, confusing Eun Soo.
* FunPersonified: Eun Soo is viewed as this by most everyone around her due to her outbursts, antics and quirks that are seen as refreshing and amusing.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Played straight with both Choi Young, when he comes to the future, and Eun Soo, who is brought to the past - of course HilarityEnsues during their experiences.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: The series takes place in what would be the last years of the Goryeo period so many characters that appear were relevant to it.
* HistoricalFantasy: Besides the obvious time travel, several characters have ElementalPowers.
* IGaveMyWord: [[spoiler: Choi Young swears on his honor that he'll return Eun Soo to her time after she finishes saving the Queen. Sadly, it doesn't happen.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: In the second episode, [[spoiler: after being prevented from going through the portal, Eun Soo takes Choi Young's sword and goes to stab him, furious that he broke his promise to her. Thing is, she never expected him to actually stand there and take the blow or even help her plunge the sword deeper.]] Yikes.
%%* KillTheCutie: Poor [[spoiler: Choong Jung.]]
* LeaveTheTwoLoveBirdsAlone:
** The entire palace does this when the King and Queen ''finally'' get to sleep with each other.
** Inverted several times with Choi Young, Eun Soo, and the Woodalchi. Choi Young generally has to chase his [[PassThePopcorn widely grinning sidekicks]] away whenever he wants some alone time with Eun Soo.
* LoopholeAbuse: Eun Soo needs to be somewhere where she can be protected, but politics mean that the King can't do so directly. So she enlists in the Woodalchi.
* MercyKill: Choi Young is forced to kill [[spoiler: the teenage former king]] after he is in turn forced to take poison.
* NotGoodWithRejection: Dear Lord, [[spoiler: Ki Chul]] has some serious issues with this. At first, he'll play "nice" to gain the heart (loyalty) of those he's interested in but the moment he perceives even a hint of rejection, he'll put them through hell on Earth.
* OneManArmy: Choi Young, full stop. He singlehandedly [[spoiler: raides Ki Chul's palace to save Eun Soo]], fights off an army of mooks with minimal injury to his person and does it immediately after [[spoiler: waking up from a coma.]]
* PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: They had a rocky start but with time [[spoiler: King Gongmin and Queen No Gook manage to have a rather stable and happy relationship.]]
%%* PoisonIsEvil: [[spoiler: Prince Deok Heung is very fond of this.]]
%%* PortalSlam: Eun Soo probably could have returned to her time the very first episode but, circumstances make her miss her chance.
* ThePromise: Choi Young makes one to Eun Soo, assuring her that he will take her back to her time. Life (and enemies) got in the way.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething:
** The Royal Couple stumbles along the way at the beginning until CharacterDevelopment set in and then they begin [[spoiler: acting outside the wishes of the Yuan Empire]].
** Ki Chul may be a villain but he's also a Prince and while he mostly acts in self-interest, he's never idle.
%%* SecondLove: [[spoiler: Eun Soo for Choi Young.]]
* ScrewDestiny: Choi Young reacts to [[spoiler: meeting the boy that will one day become the next king and execute him]] by shrugging and explaining that he'll take life as it comes.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: {{Played with}}. Eun Soo, at the beginning, wants to find a ''rich'' man, granted one that would be nice enough to fund her, would let her break the engagement (if they had one) and pay him back later on.
%%* StandardFemaleGrabArea: Many, ''many'' times.
* StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler:Eun Soo]] always keeps on smiling and joking around in public, not wanting to let others see how much the events are affecting [[spoiler: her]].
* StableTimeLoop: [[spoiler:Eun Soo saves several key historical figures that would go on to give foundation to the Korea we know.]]
* StopOrIShootMyself: Eun Soo threatens suicide at one point to stop Ki Chul from killing Choi Young. She points out that, being a surgeon, she's going to be able to kill herself ''very quickly''.
%%* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: Choi Young]] attempts this with [[spoiler: Ki Chul]].
* TellHimImNotSpeakingToHim: In the seventh episode, Queen Nogook and King Gongmin are fighting, snarking at one another at every turn and it gets to the point where they are sitting for dinner with Doctor Jang Bin standing in the middle, ''still'' snarking at each other indirectly and not really letting the good doc relay the messages.
%%* TimeTravel: See the description above.
* TheEvilPrince: Prince Ki Chul and [[spoiler: Prince Deok Heung.]]
* TheMedic: Eun Soo fills this role, even being named the High Doctor of the palace and shares the role with Jang Bin.
%%* TraitorShot: Subtly, the treacherous maidservant in the first episode does this several times.
* TraumaCongaLine: A lot of the characters, but special mention goes to Eun Soo and Choi Young who go through hell of a lot and have little to no time to be happy.
* UngratefulBastard:
** [[spoiler: Although Choi Young risks his safety and life to save and protect them, the scholars aren't exactly helpful or caring whenever someone tries to sabotage him.]]
** [[spoiler: Jo Il Shin, one of the king's vassal, sees Gongmin as this because he listens to and protects Choi Young, giving the younger man more status and respect.]]
* VillainousCrush: [[spoiler: Prince Ki Chul]], big time and, to a lesser degree, [[spoiler: Prince Deok Heung]] for Eun Soo. Hwa Soo In also shows in several occasions interest in Choi Young.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Subverted. [[spoiler: The mouse becomes more of a ChekhovsGun when Choi Young uses it to fake a suicide attempt]].
