jTBC Sat-Sun Medical Drama Doctor Cha with Uhm Jung Hwa and Kim Byung Chul is a Mega Hit as Episode 6 Breaks 13% Ratings

An underdog has just come out of nowhere and became the next big K-drama hit and I’m just noticing this phenom lol. jTBC weekend drama Doctor Cha premiered three weeks ago and has only rocketed up in ratings. Episode 1 debuted with 4.937% and episode 2 jumped to 7.780%. Since then it keeps going up and the most recent episode 6 airing last Sunday got 13.203%. Uhm Jung Hwa stars a doctor who didn’t practice and became a stay at home mom raising kids with her doctor husband Kim Byung Chul and after the kids are grown decides to go back and become a practicing doctor. Good for her! This story sounds so aspirational for women who have left the work force and also another story that continues the recent trend of strong female characters for a veteran top actress.

  2. Basically “Twenty Again” (and to a smaller extent, “The Good Wife”) in scrubs?

    I am really amused that Koreans are gobbling up both Doctor shows with broadcasts that overlap for 40 minutes on Saturdays.

  3. Twenty Again meets Emergency Couple. Watching to see Dr. Cha succeed and divorce the bastard who is a big jerk to her. In-ho has no redeeming qualities.

  4. I am waiting for you Koala to write about this drama lol. Well deserved ratings. If you have an engaging story with great veteran actors, it will be a hit. JTBC is on a roll. I hope they keep producing quality dramas. Can’t wait for succeeding episodes.

  5. JTBC is on a roll. Good and engaging story, great veteran actors. Really funny and heartwarming. Good job for JTBC for airing quality dramas.

  6. last week I decided to give this drama a try after I noticed it ranked first on my country’s netflix. oh my and Im totally hooked ! it is so funny and relatable lmao. well deserved rating hope it can break 20%

  7. “Déjà vu ” but enjoyable . Kim Byung Chul is perfect as the jerk who wants to have it all, a perfect housewife, perfect kids , a mistress, and be admired by his pairs . Seeing his perfect world falling apart because his wife got a wake up call is hilarious !
