Obssessed with it now!
I’m being honest — the more I watch this drama, the more hooked I get!At first, I thought, “Oh my god, what a dark and heavy genre!!” But the more I watched, the more I felt the subtle, delicate beauty of love amidst the chaos of greed, hatred, revenge, and disturbingly twisted ideologies.
I think the love between Jae Yi and Hongrang is what truly makes this drama worth watching. It’s a noble, transcendent kind of love that rises above all the darkness and negativity.
While watching, I thought — if Lee Jae Wook didn’t play Hongrang, no one else could’ve done it better. His performance was incredibly moving.
And honestly, the chemistry between Jo Bo Ah and Lee Jae Wook in this drama is stronger than in any of their other works.
Maybe Hongrang often wears white or light-colored hanbok to symbolize the purity of his soul, even though his body has been horribly tormented. But perhaps it’s Jae Yi’s love that helped him become human — a real man in every sense.
I couldn’t hold back my tears, especially in the scenes between Hongrang and Jae Yi…
The soundtrack? Absolutely amazing! The emotional vocals paired perfectly with each scene, intensifying the feelings in every moment.
If I had to rewatch it, the only parts I’d dislike are the brutal and horrifying ending, and of course, that twisted prince. But I have to admit — Kim Jae Wook nailed the role! He played that “righteous on the outside, rotten on the inside” prince so well that I ended up hating the character — which just shows how brilliant the acting was. I really want to rewatch the drama, but the disturbing torture scenes make me hesitate.
God, I really, really hope there’s a season 2 — I just want a happy ending for this couple.
Ugh, this drama haunts me so much. I don’t even know how to move on from it. I’m obsessed!

A Heartwarming, Healing Gem in the World of Sageuk! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10/10)
If you are looking for a historical drama that warms your heart rather than stressing you out with non-stop palace politics, Poong, The Joseon Psychiatrist Season 1 is an absolute must-watch!What makes this season so special is its unique approach to medicine. Instead of just focusing on physical ailments, it dives deep into mental health, trauma, and emotional healing within a Joseon setting. Watching Yoo Se Poong navigate his PTSD alongside the brilliant and brave Seo Eun Woo is pure magic. Their chemistry is a gentle, mature slow-burn that builds on mutual respect and genuine care.
The Gyesu Clinic ensemble family brings so much soul, humor, and warmth to every single episode. The cinematography is breathtaking, the color palette is soothing, and the OST fits the emotional tone perfectly. It balances lighthearted comedy, crime-solving, and emotional depth seamlessly. A beautiful, comforting drama that leaves you feeling lighter!

The Perfect Closure to a Beautiful Journey of Love & Healing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10/10)
Season 2 takes everything we loved about the first season and delivers a deeply satisfying, romantic, and well-rounded continuation!
While Season 1 laid the groundwork for healing and character growth, Season 2 really lets the romance between Se Poong and Eun Woo blossom. Seeing them navigate societal obstacles—especially the unfair stigma surrounding a widow in Joseon—made their bond feel even more profound and earned. The subtle glances, hand-holding, and genuine devotion between Kim Min Jae and Kim Hyang Gi are simply top-tier.
The medical cases this season focus even more on psychiatric care and social issues, showing how both leads grow into exceptionally skilled healers together. The Gyesu Clinic family remains as hilarious and endearing as ever, providing that familiar comfort. The ending wraps up every character’s arc with so much respect and joy. A heartwarming 10/10 conclusion to an unforgettable duo!
