The essence of healing historical dramas worked again this time. The return of ‘Joseon Psychiatrist Yoo Se-poong 2’ delivered an even more powerful prescription for happiness.
.
tvN's Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Joseon Psychiatrist' (hereinafter referred to as 'Yoo Se-poong 2' was broadcast on the 11th. The first episode's viewership rating, which showed its true value as a 'healing' historical drama from the beginning, recorded an average of 3.6% and a peak of 4.0% based on households in the metropolitan area.
The story of how chief acupuncturist Yoo Se-yeop (0 Yoo Se-poong/Kim Min-jae), who was caught up in a conspiracy in last season 1 and reached a dead end in life, is reborn as 'Sim-eui' Yoo Se-poong (Kim Min-jae), who takes care of the patients' hearts, is a delightful laugh. It gave me a warm feeling inside. The dynamic changes of the Shim-ui trio, Yoo Se-poong, Seo Eun-woo (played by Kim Hyang-gi), and Gye Ji-han (Kim Sang-kyung), who returned to the Hanyang branch of the Kyushu Clinic, and the Kyusyu Clinic family members who became more strange and beautiful were even more warm and special. Above all, the sight of the 'Pungwoo Couple' having a heart-pounding reunion brought excitement beyond expectations. The chemistry between the actors also shone even further. In addition, the extraordinary presence of 'new face' member Jeon Kang-il (played by Kang Young-seok) and princess Lee Seo-i (played by Woo Da-bi) raised expectations for the story to unfold in the future.
The broadcast on this day opened with the appearance of Kyushu Clinic, which was reborn as Hanyang Branch. Yoo Se-pung received the king's call and returned to Hanyang-gil. The members of the Kyushu Clinic followed him and moved to a new home. Yoo Se-pung and Gye Ji-han's outstanding beauty and medical skills quickly created a stir in Hanyang, and Gye Ji-won became famous.
Meanwhile, strange rumors began to circulate in the palace. The king (played by Oh Gyeong-ju) was also suffering from visions of Jo Tae-hak (played by Yoo Seong-ju), whom he had executed. Along with eyewitness accounts of seeing ghosts, rumors quickly spread that the ghost of the dead Jo Tae-hak, wearing a jade butterfly tassel, was wandering around the palace. What's even more strange is that all those who see ghosts suffer from vomiting and seizures for unknown reasons. The internal medicine clinic diagnosed the court ladies' illness as gwakran (food poisoning), and the court was filled with anxiety as they heard that it could be a harbinger of the plague. In the end, despite strong opposition, the king summoned Yoo Se-pung and Gye Ji-han to the palace. The diagnosis they both made was addiction. However, the medical staff did not want to admit their misdiagnosis, and their confrontation gradually became sharper. In particular, the appearance of Jeon Kang-il, who could not hide his embarrassment at not knowing himself while keeping the campaign trend in check, added to the curiosity about their relationship.
The heartwarming reunion of 'Woo Se-poong' Yoo Se-poong and Seo Eun-woo was also portrayed. Seo Eun-woo, who left for Heuksan Island with his father, returned to the hospital. Yoo Se-poong, who had been growing longing for Seo Eun-woo, looked forward to their reunion. The sight of Yoo Se-poong and Seo Eun-woo unable to hide their joy at the reunion they had dreamed of created excitement. Yoo Se-poong put on Seo Eun-woo's jade ring and expressed his feelings, saying, "Just as Eun-woo always carried my heart, I also always kept it."
After enjoying the joy of their reunion for a while, the two headed to the palace to find out the truth about the rumors spreading around the palace. The two men's search brought about an unexpected storm. Princess Lee Seo-yi, who saw Jo Tae-hak's ghost, was thrown into the arms of Yoo Se-poong, who appeared at the right time. Here, Seo Eun-woo and Jeon Kang-il, who met by chance and fate, and Yoo Se-poong's jealous eyes when he discovered them, foreshadowed the strange atmosphere surrounding their romance, raising curiosity.
The Gyavengers, who are active as 'Congressman Hong Gil-dong' and are willing to step forward to help those who are sick, are broadcast every Tuesday, every week.
