Poong the Joseon Psychiatrist: Episodes 5-6
by Device
Our passionate resident medical doctor proceeds to spread heat to the hearts of his sufferers, and our intern doctor is catching up swiftly. In the meantime in Hanyang, our villain continues to distribute his tentacles just about everywhere in a bid to deal with up his criminal offense, but this is proving to be tougher than he predicted.
EPISODES 5-6 WEECAP
We decide up from very last 7 days, with Poong and Eun-woo headed for the docks to bring the killer to justice, and Gentleman-bok becoming led to the execution ground. It’s a little bit of a tense second for a frightened Gentleman-bok as the executioner (who has been bribed by Ji-han to stall) teases him with the sword. Alright, why are Joseon executioners usually so remarkable? The execution is halted when Poong arrives with the killer who is formally arrested right after the noble girl provides an eyewitness account of the murder. A relieved Gentleman-bok collapses in Poong’s arms and later on on will get a luxurious feast at the clinic to welcome him back from the land of the nearly-useless. I don’t see tofu anywhere in these dishes while. Heh.
Apparently, the fiancé banned the noble girl from playing her geomungo (a regular stringed instrument) fearing the new music would appeal to other gentlemen to her. But her manservant encouraged her to enjoy and even carved a stick for her to strum the strings with. On locating out, the fiancé experienced destroyed the geomungo and that was when she ran absent with the manservant on the sick-fated journey in the mountains. On examining the noble lady’s pulse once more, Eun-woo notes that she is receiving better, and her hand tremors are absent — many thanks to her act of standing up for herself at the docks by employing her strumming adhere to poke her fiancé in the neck. And this is but yet another circumstance of a character in this drama getting the a single to eventually save themselves.
Our upcoming patient is the son of a mistress who is brought in by the girl of the dwelling (the most influential madam in the village, thanks to her position as one particular of a previous king’s granddaughters). The youthful boy is brought in for hallucinations, but as the doctors undress him for procedure, they recognize seen bruises from bodily abuse. Everyone in the clinic has good matters to say about the madam, and they never feel she is driving it. But the circumstance concerns Poong as the boy suffers from severe dehydration as perfectly.
On having the boy dwelling, Poong notes that his household is rather dysfunctional – the father has anger difficulties and hits his sons, the stepbrothers bully the boy, and the boy’s pregnant mother (mistress) doesn’t regard the madam. While the mistress seems to be deeply anxious about her son, for some explanation, I am not confident. Eun-woo pleads with Shin-woo to investigate the issue, but he’s continue to upset that she has picked to align herself with the clinic. And we study that his chilly attitude in the direction of the district governor is since the governor rejected his relationship proposal to Eun-woo.
When the Shin-woo angle doesn’t function, Eun-woo briefly returns to her married woman’s hairstyle and attends her mother’s tea party to glean information from the madam who is a single of the friends. It turns out to be a promising commence as the madam is amazed by Eun-woo and would like her to take a look at their house to take her pulse. Poong provides Eun-woo with his acupuncture kit and however she’s a little bit hesitant to accept it, she claims to be his fingers pending the time he is capable to perform acupuncture again. Awww. But the beautiful second is witnessed by Shin-woo who is now beneath his father’s orders to kill Poong discreetly.
On checking out the madam, Poong diagnoses her with heartache from all the happenings in the family, especially the mistress’s obvious disregard for her. To alleviate these indications, Eun-woo performs her initial formal acupuncture on the madam. Yaay! But her husband is far more into shamanism than drugs, and he orders the doctors out of his house… but they are shortly recalled by a servant when the younger boy reaches the brink of loss of life. Eun-woo is far too anxious to complete the acupuncture, but with Poong’s assistance, she is in a position to revive the boy. The mistress then accuses the madam of attempting to curse her son to death, and the superstitious spouse locks his wife up. Tsk.
Poong items factors together and discovers that the boy’s hallucinations and dehydration are brought about by repeated salt poisoning. To find the culprit, our clinic family levels an elaborate functionality and catches the mistress purple-handed as she mixes a heap of salt into the porridge meant for her son (or Gentleman-bok, who hides less than the addresses and pretends to be the son. Heh.) The mistress’s endgame was to body the madam for her son’s eventual dying and then come to be the girl of the residence.
Furious that she has been exposed, she expenses at Poong with a knife and ends up stabbing Eun-woo who jumps to Poong’s protection. But to our collective relief, the acupuncture package under Eun-woo’s clothing helps prevent the knife from hurting her. Anyway, thanks to this spectacular moment, we get a swoony I-actually-considered-I-was-likely-to-get rid of-you hug amongst Poong and Eun-woo, so I’m not complaining.
The madam, who has finally had sufficient of her husband’s shenanigans, leaves for Hanyang with her sons, like the mistress’s son – who has lastly been given an apology from his move bullies brothers. Ji-han has also spoken with a colleague in Hanyang to educate the boy medicine (his aspiration career), and the entire clinic spouse and children is happy that he’ll be good from now on.
The happiest member of the household, however, is Jang-goon, whom we discover was in a very similar situation with the boy. Abused and neglected by his have father, Ji-han experienced paid the father to sever ties with Jang-goon, and brought him back again to the clinic to take care of and raise him later on. Awww. Now I surprise how Nam-hee arrived to stay with them far too.
Back again in Hanyang, term spreads about the late king’s poisoning, and the next condition councilor is in a hurry to protect his tracks. So significantly, he has intercepted a single of the king’s people today who is close to identifying the herb made use of in the poisoning, and ruined the medical textual content in which the herb and its features are highlighted. But with an oblivious Poong acquiring the 50 percent-burnt health care text concealed in a flooring panel in the clinic, it appears to be the 2nd state councilor’s tracks haven’t been entirely lined. In a way, this clinical text also serves to hyperlink Ji-han to the scenario, and I marvel what he is aware of about that herb.
So far we know that Ji-han and Poong’s father were very good close friends just before Ji-han was fired from the medical place of work – even though he is just locating out from his colleague in Hanyang that Poong’s father is useless — and it is only a subject of time prior to Poong learns that both equally men were friends. In particular now that he has secretly witnessed Shin-woo drawing a sword to Ji-han’s neck to request him issues about the shade modify in the needle used in the late king’s fatal acupuncture. Shin-woo attained the needle from the entire body of Poong’s father, and has been searching for the herb that can trigger the color adjust. He even asks at a local pharmacy where he is overheard by Commander Im who will undoubtedly use this information and facts for some thing sketchy…
I obtain this relatively odd, although, because the colour adjust is supposedly from the poison. And as the son of the poison mastermind, shouldn’t Shin-woo presently know this? Shin-woo continues to curiosity me simply because I can’t browse him. His unpredictability has even been mentioned by the next state councilor, who admitted that he can make Shin-woo stain his arms with blood in get to use it as leverage need to Shin-woo attempt to betray him. Nobody knows where by Shin-woo’s correct loyalty lies, but appropriate now, it’s safe and sound to believe he’s on his father’s aspect. Luckily, Poong has viewed him in his element, and should know to be wary of him going forward.
Actually, the full clinic family must be cautious of each Commander Im the opportunist, and Shin-woo the unpredictable (specifically Ib-bun who has a crush on every single solitary handsome male who visits the clinic). Both equally men are quite capable of getting rid of any one who stands in their way. But as we have seen, despite his gruffness and seeming nonchalance, Ji-han is not conveniently intimidated, and it’s really reassuring to have him as the head of our beloved clinic relatives.
