Kim Min-jae plays Yoo Se-poong who was once an arrogant acupuncture expert but due to his involvement in the kings death he can no longer practice. He is exiled from the palace and ends up at a village clinic where he eventually bonds with the other occupants. Kim Hyang Gi plays Seo Eun-woo who is a smart quick witted widow who poong rescues from her abusive in-laws and teaches her his skills. It is a well acted series with some light moments coming from the other occupants of the clinic and various stories where poongs healing skills are put to the test. Running through the series is the blossoming romance and also poongs attempt to clear his name in the involvement of the kings death. Good cast, well acted and a believable romantic storyline but I think it could have been improved with more character development.
Korean Drama "Poong, The Joseon Psychiatrist Yoo Se Poong" is a historical medical drama.
The series has two things going for it, the comedy and the small family that the people of the 'medical center' create.
The drama has some comical moments that ease the tension of the medical cases that were, however, few and spar.
The romance was also a weak point for the drama, as the couple had too few moments and, thus, didn't create the right momentum to have an enjoyable love story.
The performances, on the other hand, were pretty great by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, five out of ten.
Korean Drama " Poong: The Joseon Psychiatrist Season Two " is the sequel and continuation of the story of Poong and his team.
The drama is more romance focus this time, though there were quite the cheesy moments when it came to the couple.
The comedy was, on the other hand, more enjoyable. Especially the princess was a pretty entertaining character.
As for the mystery, it was okay at first, and offered a few action and suspenseful things, but it got boring.
The performances were, still, great by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, four out of ten.

The casting was perfect in terms of the crew of actors and the characters they fit into and altogether creates the vibrant scenery.
The main characters were well curated, Se Pung successfully depicted the image of a heartwarming doctor with a painful past , Eun Woo the smart detective and acupuncture newbie & Ji Han the witty doctor and secret medicine expert.
The loveline between Se Pung & Eun Woo was lovely however it feels that more could have happened for the length of 12 episodes.
However, the expansion of the detective like storyline is does not fit well with the characters although it fosters character development to some extent.
The detective problem solving have occupied most of the story and there is not much about how Se Pung act as a psychiatrist to heal the souls of patients as well to achieve self healing from traumatic experience, especially when the writer comes from a professional medicine & acupuncture background.

Was expecting a more sensibles roles for Kind and I'm. Some scenes have no logic at all like the last scene of Im. Felt like story suddenly stopped and all of them convinced quickly at the end. Then what was the struggle from the beginning? I was also expecting the granny and the kid be treated since they are from their own family. Somehow the thrilling situations build up but abruptly there is no thrill when the situation gets resolved may be since the situation is solved too easily or the thrill of the solution doesnot match up with the thrill of the problem. I wish the part of this will be better.
Excellent,thought the acting was great,very funny and emotional. The stories are interesting aswell as nicely solved,easy watching when kid is about granny is a hilarious character made me cry a few times very sweet. Not sure why all the low reviews,,I've watched alot of korean dramas and it may not be exciting all the time,it makes up for in emotional parts for me which ii always find are done excellent in korean dramas,the villian are always pretty mean but they tend to get what they deserve in most of the ones I've seen,compared to c dramas wuxia particularly are bitter sweet for no need good guys normally die ,after watching alot of episodes and putting emotion into heroes they get killed for unnecessary reasons at times.
