Poong, the Joseon Psychiatrist 2 Episode 5 Highlights
“Lady Eun-woo, my heart beats for someone else. Nothing in the world can change that. Not even the King’s command.”
After hearing what the Princess wants, Lady Eun-woo fought back saying that Physician Yoo’s heart belongs to her. However, this backfires on her as Princess Seo-yi talks about her being a widow.
Realizing that the Princess is more suited to marry Physician Yoo, Lady Eun-woo replies that it is not love that made her stay. She then reassures the Princess that she will leave Physician Yoo once he can administer acupuncture on his own.
Accidentally, Physician Yoo heard their conversation and followed Lady Eun-woo as she left the library. As he spoke to Lady Eun-woo, she expressed her doubts and fear that the King may stand between them.
Regardless of what he heard; Physician Yoo assures her nothing can hinder their love. Thanks to his comforting words, Lady Eun-woo continues to trust him, and her worries are erased.
“Her obsession with wanting to marry me. Excessive anger. She gets extremely worked up when anyone brings up her ex-fiance, the Chief State Councilor’s son. If that is not a psychiatric condition, what is?”
Relieved that Lady Eun-woo’s doubts are gone, Physician Yoo went to Princess Seo-yi. He confronted her and asks why she wanted to marry him.
The Princess’ replies are vague and indicated that her feelings for Poong might not be true. Furthermore, he made clear that his heart is only for Lady Eun-woo, who saved him from taking his life.
The next day, Physician Yoo went to see Lady Eun-woo and randomly revealed that Princess Seo-yi has a psychiatric illness. He emphasizes that whenever her ex-fiance is brought up, the Princess starts to get furious.
With that, his diagnosis turns out that something happened between her and her ex-fiance during their wedding. Wanting to help the Princess heal and find her happiness, Physician Yoo visited the King to ask about her.
Even though he failed to talk to the Chief State Councilor’s son, Physician Yoo found out that the Princess suddenly disappeared. Additionally, it surprises him to know Princess Seo-yi does have feelings for her ex-fiance.
“Your feelings for her are true, but your gruff, direct speech is the reason you drifted apart.”
As soon as Physician Yoo returned to Sorak Village, a nobleman with a loud and sharp tongue appeared looking for him. He then stated that his reason of visit is to protect Princess Seo-yi from him.
The Gyesoo Family then quickly realizes that the man is the Princess’ ex-fiance. Knowing that Princess Seo-yi will get angry, Poong and Lady Eun-woo hid him and ask him about what happened at the wedding.
From what he recounted, the Princess’ ex-fiance has no idea why the Princess disappeared during the wedding. Consequently, Physician Yoo and Lady Eun-woo reenacted what happened at the wedding in front of the Gyesoo Family.
“All my life, I have stood tall and stayed on my toes. Because I am of lowly birth. It was to prevent being censured by my elders. To hear someone, I liked to call me a lowly birth cut deeply.”
Physician Yoo then remembered that the King revealed that Princess Seo-yi’s mother is a lowly dancer. Since her ex-fiance mentioned phrases about people with low birth, this might be the reason why she got angry and disappeared.
To help the Chief State Councilor’s son control his mouth, they helped him practice what to and what not to say in a different situation. Furthermore, they helped him plan to surprise the Princess and apologize for what he said.
Since his words really cut deeply into Princess Seo-yi’s heart, she doesn’t easily accept his apology. Instead, she let out her anger and throw her shoes, which hit a beehive, causing her to attack them.
She then was surprised that her ex-fiance covered her, taking all the bites. Once the situation is settled, Physician Yoo reaches out to Princess Seo-yi again and speaks on behalf of the Chief State Councilor’s son.
Still upset, Princess Seo-yi checks up on her ex-fiance and decided to return to Hanyang with him. Additionally, Court Lady Jung expresses her gratitude to the Gyesoo Family for helping the Princess, who became an entirely different person.

Featuring Princess Seo-yi’s story, the fifth episode of Poong, the Joseon Psychiatrist 2 incorporates heartwarming emotions. Knowing that her mother is of low birth, she is used to being alone and is sensitive about her identity.
Even though her sole reason for going to Sorak Village is to find happiness that can cover her sadness and loneliness, the Gyesoo Family taught her to open her heart again. During her stay, Princess Seo-yi both found genuine happiness and herself.
Now that she will return to Hanyang, let’s hope that she continues to play a big role in the series. Furthermore, Inspector Jeon’s appearance at the end of the episode heightens the thrill and adds more mysteries.
