Poong, The Joseon Psychiatrist is a very good historical medical drama with an excellent character delivery from the fantastic cast. The drama is about “Poong” (Yoo Se Poong / Yoo Se Yeop) stellarly played by Kim Min Jae as he meets Seo Eun Woo and joins a village clinic ran by the most hilarious, heartwarming, and very often mischievous individuals that bring about most of the comedy to shape the lighthearted tone of the drama. The acting on this drama is almost flawless by most of the cast but especially by Kim Min Jae (Poong) and Kim Sang Kyung (Kye Ji Han). Sadly, the female lead role, Kim Hyang Gi as Seo Eun Woo who did great as the despondent widow shunned by society and slowly but surely contributing to solve the conflicting cases presented in the drama, spent too much time with a stone face demeanor that downplayed her caring and tender nature. Although there is a romantic banter between Poong and Eun Woo, that storyline is left for the second season. The drama is very entertaining and the acting is top notch. Enjoy it!
