What is Poong The Joseon Psychiatrist Season 1 about?

Poong, The Joseon Psychiatrist is a combination of medical and period drama that looks like it’s going to be quite the delightful blend of genres. Set during the Joseon Period, the tale follows Yoo Se Poong. He’s a talented physician who practices at the royal palace. However, when he’s implicated in a conspiracy that threatens the royal family, he’s driven out of court. Eventually, he finds himself in a remote village community; a massive fall from grace for someone so prestigious.

Poong ends up helping heal a local and as a result, stays in the village for a prolonged period of time. He attracts the attention of Gye Ji-Han, a middle-aged local doctor, and takes the young physician under his wing. Rounding out the trio is Seo Eun-Woo, a young widow. What will become of this trio? We’ll have to wait and find out.

Has Poong The Joseon Psychiatrist been renewed for season 2?

At the time of writing, tvN have not renewed Poong The Joseon Psychiatrist for season 2. Given the ratings over the weeks, it’ll be interesting to see if they actually do renew this for a follow-up.

The ratings began with a 3.8% share nationwide but since then, the show has been hovering around a 4-5% share, with the final episode rounding out affairs with 5.09%.

The pretty standard ratings, alongside the fact that most k-dramas wrap up their stories in a single season, reinforces that it’s very rare to find these sort of shows renewed. Given this is a simple historical drama at its heart, we predict Poong The Joseon Psychiatrist will not be renewed.

We’ll be sure to update this section with more details as they become available.

What we know about season 2 so far:

Most Korean dramas are reserved to one season and with the rare exception of ongoing Netflix shows (Love ft. Marriage and Divorce, Hospital Playlist etc.) then it seems unlikely that this one will be renewed.

However, there is always the possibility that the actors return for a follow-up for a sequel or a spin-off featuring the same characters. But regardless, we don’t see this one as being renewed.

We generally aim to update this page when more information becomes available.
