Poong, the Joseon Psychiatrist poster

Yoo Se-poong is a brilliant royal physician exiled from court after a political scandal, who ends up practicing medicine in a remote village where he reluctantly begins treating patients with conditions he once dismissed as mere weakness — depression, trauma, anxiety. A gentle, historically-set drama about mental health before the vocabulary existed, Poong treats its period setting with warmth and its subject matter with genuine care. Kim Min-jae as the slowly-softening doctor and Kim Hyang-gi as the village apothecary are the heart of a drama that knows exactly what it wants to be.
