Impressed by 许浚 for some reasons :

(1) His learning attitude and perseverance. He was obviously learning in the harshest conditions. In a society where cast-system was practiced, how could he possibly raised from a 贱民 to become a 御医? He did!

(2) His strong principles. Even when threatened with his own death, he was never moved, although he can walk out of the trouble with a simple denial. Yet he chose to be truthful and bravely faced the consequences. With a clear conscious there is no fear, perhaps. How true!

(3) His benevolence. He was fully aware of how some people had tried to bring him down by all means. Yet he did not just maintain a neutral attitude towards them, but more than once, tried to help and safe them. That was how he managed to cleanse off 道知’s hatred / jealousy towards him. How Cool!

(4) His compassion towards his patients. Just look at him and what he had done, you would understand better what’s 『心医』 : a doctor who can feel his patient’s pain as his own and always put his patient as top priority, regardless of social status. That's the way!

(5) His loyalty to his master(s). His master 柳义泰 "donated" his body to him. Hence, apparently he is the first to have done dissection. Throughout his journey as a doctor, his late master has always been his driving force, especially during very difficult times. He always remembers what he promised his master. Just admirable.

(6) His filial piety to his mother and his unwavering love for his wife and his son. Beside his patients, there is another big aim in his life. That is to give his family a good life. Rather touching.

And so on..
