Kim Min Jae Is A Genius Doctor Whose Life Takes An Unexpected Nosedive In Upcoming Historical Drama

tvN’s upcoming drama “Poong, The Joseon Psychiatrist” has shared a glimpse of Kim Min Jae in his starring role!

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.

With outstanding acupuncture skills and a gentle appearance, Yoo Se Poong is a star doctor for the royal family, and he is well-known for being a top doctor. However, the genius doctor loses his abilities as an acupuncturist one day.

The newly released stills show Kim Min Jae’s flawless transformation into Yoo Se Poong, and the actor is expected to maximize the character’s charms with his impressive performance. In the photos, Yoo Se Poong’s life takes a turn for the worse. In the first couple photos, he exudes the aura of a competent doctor who is trusted by the royal family. He catches the eye with his excellent acupuncture skills and handsome appearance, and he has a serious attitude towards his patients. However, the final photo shows him looking empty and depressed in prison, amping up curiosity about how he turned into a doctor who loses his acupuncture abilities.

Concerning the reason why he chose this drama as his next project, Kim Min Jae explained, “The various episodes that occur while healing hearts and the story of the medical staff becoming healed while treating others were attractive. As I watched the process of Yoo Se Poong, genius chef who loses his acupuncture skills, overcoming hardships and pain and being reborn, I cried out of heartbreak, laughed, and felt my heart turning hot. I think it’s a drama that will convey good feelings to people living in the present era.”

Kim Min Jae also described his character, saying, “He is a person with a good personality and moral and upright values. He is a warm-hearted and respectable doctor. He doesn’t hesitate to do anything if it’s related to his patients, and there are times he can’t control his anger, but he’s essential to patients and fits well with the word ‘doctor.'”

The actor continued, “Rather than using vague consolation such as ‘I will help someone’ and ‘I will tell you warm words,’ I built the character in the form of a doctor whom you will think of when you wonder ‘What if I were a patient?’ I acted as a doctor who experiences the patient’s pain with them.”

“Poong, The Joseon Psychiatrist” will premiere on August 1 at 10:30 p.m. KST.
