Poong, The Joseon Psychiatrist Episode 4 Highlights 

“I was told where I could find high-quality gastrodiae rhizoma. So, I went there to get some for you.”

Serving his young master, Yoo Se-poong, for many years, Man-bok saw how he achieved his dreams of being one of the best acupuncturists in Hanyang. Seeing Se-poong’s current condition hurts Man-bok, which led him to find a medicine for his hand tremors.

As he was searching for the medicine deep in the woods, Man-bok saw the Lady who visited Gyesu Clinic earlier. Lady Hyo-yeon was with a manservant, and it appears to Man-bok that he is trying to hurt the Lady. 

He then tried to protect Lady Hyo-yeon and got into a fight with the manservant. However, Man-bok was hit behind his back and woke to see the corpse of the manservant beside him. 

With his hatchet as a piece of evidence to be the murder weapon, Man-bok was found guilty and was next in line in the executions. 


“The way to save Man-bok is to get to Lady Hyo-yeon. And there is only one way to get her to speak. It is for me to become a physician who mastered a medical script.”

Treating Man-bok not his servant but as a family, Se-poong was also hurt to see him wrongly accused and alone in jail. Furthermore, he, Lady Eun-woo, and Physician Gye went to Lady Hyo-yeon’s household to gather evidence. 

However, it was still difficult for them to check Lady Hyo-yeon’s illness and seek her testimony since her soon-to-be-husband is overprotective. 

Eun-woo still got her hopes up as she remembers that a female physician is allowed to check Lady Hyo-yeon’s pulse. As Man-bok’s day of execution nears, Eun-woo is determined to become an expert female physician to find evidence and prove Man-bok’s innocence. 

With the guide of Physician Se-poong, Eun-woo studies without a blink and shows excellence. Finally, they were able to enter Lady Hyo-yeon’s household again, and Eun-woo successfully applied all she learned. 

In addition, they also got clues from Lady Hyo-yeon and secretly investigated the household for evidence.


“The execution will be carried out between 5 and 7 pm as planned. You must catch him and bring him to me before that.”

To speed up their investigation, the whole Gyesu Family helped Se-poong and Eun-woo to execute their plans. Using their unique talents and skills, they were able to point out the real culprit. 

It turns out that Lady Hyo-yeon’s overprotective fiance killed the manservant, Gae-ban, because of jealousy. However, for Lady Hyo-yeon, Gae-ban was her family and a friend whom she knew since she was a kid. 

As Se-poong was about to arrest the culprit, he has already fled together with Lady Hyo-yeon. With that, Se-poong lowers her pride and asked Royal Inspector Shin-woo to borrow his horses. 

At first, he did not allow Se-poong since he always holds on to his principles. Nevertheless, he remembers how Se-poong hold a proper burial for Gae-ban and allowed him to take his horses.
