Upcoming Drama Doctor Cha Jung Suk: Everything We Know

doctor cha jung suk-min

Medical K-Dramas have proven to be some of the best in the genre, and fans can look forward to another exciting addition to the collection this October. Doctor Cha Jung Suk is a medical melodrama that features a powerful female-driven story.

Hospital Playlist, Doctor Romantic, Good Doctor, and many more have built a specific yet popular niche in the Kdrama-land. While most of these tend to be a mix of comedy, romance, and drama, it works to bring light to the often thankless profession of doctors and medical workers. Even more so, it highlights the medical field through the lens of South Korea’s culture. This showcases how the people in the profession may overwork themselves yet hide the exhaustion behind politeness and the intense pressure of the hectic, demanding workplace. Their jobs tend to take an emotional and physical toll on them and sometimes even their close ones.

Coming as an addition to the stack of Korean medical dramas is Doctor Cha Jung Suk, featuring a stellar cast. Here’s everything we know about the upcoming show as of yet.

Doctor Cha Jung Suk Synopsis

Uhm Jung Hwa

The show follows the titular character on her journey of rediscovering an old dream and the courage to achieve it. Cha Jung Suk is a housewife with two grown-up kids and a husband. All three members of her family were in the medical field while she was a medical graduate. Initially having given up on her career for the sake of her family, our protagonist now decides to get back into the field.

However, it will be an uphill battle for Mrs. Cha as she would be directly working under her husband, head surgeon Seo In Ho. It doesn’t sound so bad initially, but Seo In Ho has been cheating on his wife. He is also exceptionally adept at keeping his private life and work life separate, so Cha Jung Suk would have difficulty navigating this complex relationship. It becomes harder considering she would be working next to her son and daughter, who are also fellow residents. However, her stoic personality and courage will be her biggest aides to help her on her journey.
