Hur Jun, The Original Story
Infobox instructions (only shown in preview)

Hur Jun (Korean허준) is a South Korean television series about the life of Joseon-era doctor Heo Jun. The period drama was broadcast by MBC from November 22, 1999 to June 27, 2000, and reached record-breaking viewership ratings of 64%.[1]

Internationally, it aired on Taiwan Television in 2002 and Hong Kong's TVB in 2005, after the finale of Dae Jang Geum (which was also directed by Hur Jun director Lee Byung-hoon). Because of the similarities between the protagonists of both shows, Hur Jun has often been called the male version of Dae Jang Geum. It aired in Thailand on Channel 3 in 2006.[2]
