Woo Do Hwan‘s special appearance in the final episode of “Poong, The Joseon Psychiatrist 2” brought pleasant surprise to viewers. Kim Min Jae shared, “I personally offered Woo Do Hwan to appear [as a cameo]. He told me that he was currently filming ‘Joseon Attorney’ (literal title) as his first project [after his military discharge], so I suggested to him, ‘Come over to our world,’ because his is also [taking place in] Joseon like ‘Poong, The Joseon Psychiatrist.'”
The final episode of “Poong, The Joseon Psychiatrist 2” garnered an average nationwide viewership rating of 2.4 percent. Regarding this, Kim Min Jae shared, “I thought a lot [about the viewership ratings]. It would have been great if we could deliver this heartwarming drama to more viewers. But even if not, I think it is a drama that can convey good messages to viewers who will watch this later, so I think it’s still okay.”
When asked about the possibility of Season 3, Kim Min Jae said, “I want to film Season 3 if given the chance. Many viewers are asking for [Season 3], so there have been many talks about that, but if there comes a moment when Joseon needs a psychiatrist again, I would be grateful to take on Season 3.”
