Watch: Kim Min Jae, Kim Hyang Gi, And More Heal Themselves While Learning How To Heal Others In "Poong, The Joseon Psychiatrist" Teaser

“Poong, The Joseon Psychiatrist” has unveiled a new highlight teaser!

Based off a novel of the same name, “Poong, The Joseon Psychiatrist” depicts the story of Yoo Se Poong (Kim Min Jae), a well-known internal medicine doctor who gets expelled from the royal court after being caught up in a conspiracy. Afterwards, he meets Seo Eun Woo (Kim Hyang Gi) and Gye Ji Han (Kim Sang Kyung) in the strange and beautiful Gyesu village and works to become a true doctor who heals the heart.

The new highlight clip kicks off with Yoo Se Poong’s impressive rise to royal stardom as his exceptional acupuncture skills makes him well-known within the palace. But after earning the king’s trust and becoming a senior acupuncturist, he’s suddenly faced with the shocking loss of his skills and gets tangled in an unpredictable conspiracy. As his face is sprayed with blood while he’s giving treatment, someone shouts out to Yoo Se Poong, “Are you being careless?!”

Even after he’s banished from the royal palace, Yoo Se Poong is unable to get over this horrible incident and is tortured in his sleep with nightmares.

In his newfound situation, Yoo Se Poong has an unusual meeting with the eccentric Gye Ji Han who forces him to work in Gyesu village. Gye Ji Han boldly tells Yoo Se Poong, “You think you can solve everything, right? Don’t do anything. You have to let go of everything in order to hold again.”

This helps Yoo Se Poong get back into line and overcome his trauma as he throws himself back into work. In Gyesu village, Yoo Se Poong also meets Seo Eun Woo, who is going through her own set of troubles. When she decides that it will be more help to her family if she was dead, Yoo Se Poong saves her from the edge of a cliff. She cries out, “Why are you trying to save me?! Why?!” Yoo Se Poong calmly responds, “Please give me the chance to save you.”

The teaser then jumps back to their first meeting, where Seo Eun Woo was able to save Yoo Se Poong’s life. Given their unusual connection, viewers can look forward to seeing what kind of special relationship these two develop.

When Yoo Se Poong falls into despair because he cannot help all the sick patients, Gye Ji Han bluntly encourages him by saying, “If you can’t do acupuncture, you can try moxibustion, and if you can’t use moxibustion, you can use herb medicine. If you just run away, does it get solved, you idiot?”
