Drama Digest

The show follows He Dun, a counselor who starts her own counseling office after a significant change in her career. As she meets with various clients, she begins to uncover secrets hidden in a mysterious file her teacher shared. It’s a story about how she works with others to stop bad things from happening.

The Feel-Good Part

It’s a fantastic romantic drama that’s super interesting to watch. The main actors have great chemistry, making it a must-see. Their connection on screen feels real, and making you get into their love story and personal growth. The actors do a fantastic job, and the story is well-written. This show is a real treasure that will stay with you long after seeing. The OST was superb, too.

The Disappointing Factor

The drama started with an excellent note; however, it started going downhill when many subplots were introduced. The way the characters acted didn’t match what they did before, and they introduced many unnecessary characters who caused problems without a good reason.

In-Depth Analysis

“Psychologist” is a Chinese TV show from 2021. It’s directed by a director named Sam Quah from Malaysia and made by Yulele Pictures Co., Ltd. This show is based on a book by Bi Shumin called “Female Psychologist,” written in 2007. The TV series is all about psychology, but it’s not a suspenseful or thrilling type of show. It’s suitable for families to watch, and it deals with issues related to families and relationships. After facing criticism for her suicide prevention public service announcement, psychologist He Dun’s career takes a hit. To lift her spirits, she meets her best friend at a restaurant and unexpectedly crosses paths with Qian Kai Yi. He is now hosting a radio program centered on emotional issues. At his insistence, He Dun agrees to become his co-host and collaborator. As the show gains popularity, He Dun’s counseling clinic sees a client surge. Meanwhile, her professor, Ji Ming Cong becomes entangled in a scandal. In her quest for answers, she stumbles upon a secret about him. Unfortunately, troubles start piling up for He Dun and those in her circle. Overwhelmed, her sleepwalking disorder resurfaces, triggering a painful childhood memory to resurface.

Yang Zi played the role of He Dun, Jing Bo Ran played the role of Qian Kai Yi, Wang Qian Yue played the role of Ye Jia Hui, Jian Ren Zi played the role of Tang Li Li, Huang Jue played the role of Ji Ming Cong, and Ni Ping played the role of Zhao Xi Ping.
