Doctor Cha: Episodes 5-6
by Dramaddictally
Hold onto your hats, folks, these episodes deliver some high-voltage shocks to the chest — and I’m not even talking about what’s happening at the hospital. We get back to meatier themes this week with the marquee topic of mothers and daughters: how they protect each other, and how they sometimes fail to.
EPISODES 5-6
We’re back on track and I feel confident again that this is the show I signed up for. I’m going to start with the scandalous bit because, like all good gossip, it’s exciting and terrible.
Previously, we had learned that Seung-hee has a daughter, CHOI EUN-SEO (So Ah-rin) — who’s the same age as Jung-sook’s daughter, SEO YI-RANG (Lee Seo-yeon). The two 12th graders have been hanging out and studying for their exams together, and Eun-seo has even been over to Yi-rang’s house and met Jung-sook.
This week we learn that In-ho is Eun-seo’s father. (Shock #1) And, he knows! (Shock #2) He’s known since Seung-hee became pregnant with her. This puts the relationship between In-ho and Seung-hee in a whole new perspective for me. I had started to feel some understanding for Seung-hee last week, but this explains her actions a lot more. And In-ho? I hated him in a kind of funny way before, but now I hate him with a serious passion.
First things first, Jung-sook is starting to suspect that Seung-hee and In-ho have a thing going on. When we left her last week, she was so distracted by the idea, she got knocked out from a literal electric shock while trying to revive a patient. When we jump back into our story, In-ho has carried Jung-sook from her collapsed position on the floor to a hospital bed where she’s being cared for.
This event sparks rumors all over the hospital that In-ho and Jung-sook are in a “some” relationship (which baffles and exasperates Jung-min in the funniest way possible). It also gets Seung-hee even more riled up than she already was, yelling at In-ho and taking out her anger on Jung-sook by overworking her. Plus, In-ho — as a married man — can’t have these rumors going around that he’s cheating with one of the new residents (which is just hysterical in all its irony). So, he endeavors to get Jung-sook to quit by disallowing her from participating in rounds with the other residents.
All the efforts by In-ho and Seung-hee almost work. The thing that saves Jung-sook is that she starts to develop close relationships with some of her patients. We see that she may not be the best at the technical aspects of her job, but she’s good at listening to people and making them feel cared for. Still, after a big mishap, Jung-sook is on the verge of quitting, feeling like she’s making too many mistakes.
While Dr. Kim tries to tell her that it’s her attitude and confidence that need to change — and In-ho presses her to go forward with resigning — she only decides to stay after an uber-wealthy patient thanks her in front of all the hospital’s higher-ups. He says that Jung-sook gave him unconditional compassion, which helped him face his scary diagnosis and treatment. The patient then donates a ton of money to the hospital and says that if Jung-sook leaves, he’ll take the money back. So, yeah, she’s staying.
Apart from getting the hospital administration to go easier on her, the patient’s public display of kindness also gives Jung-sook the confidence she needs to try harder at her tasks, and she starts to become really good at her job. So good, she outwits In-ho when diagnosing a patient and he agrees to let her participate with the other residents again. She even earns a compliment from So-ra — which delights her so much she can’t contain her smile.
Okay, back to the gossip. We first learn that In-ho is Eun-seo’s father when Eun-seo screams at her mother that she should never have given birth to her. Seung-hee became estranged from her wealthy family when she got pregnant without being married and she’s had to raise her daughter on her own. Plus, Eun-seo has grown up without a father.
The genius of having Eun-seo confront her mother like this is that it gives us the backstory straight from the person that these events have affected the most. In-ho may have “taken responsibility” for his first child, but that only makes it hurt worse to know he didn’t do the same for Eun-seo. Especially considering that Eun-seo is aware of who her father is. In fact, it’s the reason she’s befriended Yi-rang.
In a conversation between Seung-hee and In-ho, we learn that Seung-hee’s family wanted her to give the baby up for adoption, but she chose to keep her. In-ho says this is why he thinks Seung-hee is amazing, but she retorts that he turned pale when he heard she was pregnant. He responds — and I kid you not — “Throughout my entire life, I always turned pale when someone told me they were having my child.” What the…? How many more kids are out there?!
Seung-hee is not as upset by his reply as I am and suddenly suggests they go to a hotel together. This only makes me feel even more for Eun-seo, as her mother just won’t give up what’s bad for both of them.
As luck would have it, when they leave the hotel later, Dr. Kim is there to spot them and he realizes it’s not the first time he’s seen these two outside work together. At the hospital, he confronts In-ho and tells him to stop deceiving his wife. In-ho, like the privileged jerk he is, is angry not just that Dr. Kim knows about the affair, but that he had the nerve to tell him to stop.
We close this week when Jung-sook sees “Yi-rang’s friend,” Eun-seo, at the hospital and realizes that she’s Seung-hee’s daughter. Jung-sook starts to put all the clues together that In-ho and Seung-hee are having an affair and, just then, Dr. Kim appears and says he has something important to tell her.
The theme of mothers and daughters is strong this week and we get a couple of other incidents outside the scenes with Seung-hee and Eun-seo. First, Jung-sook is tending to an elderly inmate, imprisoned for killing her husband, who’s now very ill in the hospital. We learn that the woman has not seen her daughter since she went to jail decades ago.
Jung-sook tracks down the daughter, who’s now a mother (and doctor) herself, and tries to convince her to go make amends with her mother. Jung-sook is under the impression that the daughter can’t forgive her mother for the murder. But as it turns out, the daughter is ashamed because she is the one that killed her abusive father as a kid — and her mother went to jail for it. Jung-sook simply says, “Your mother will understand. As a mother yourself, you should know.” This incites a tearful reunion between mother and daughter at the hospital.
In a second case, we have a 20-year-old pregnant patient, unmarried, whose parents want her to give the baby up for adoption. The patient asks Jung-sook if she thinks her parents are correct. Jung-sook says no (and I can’t help but think about the fact that Jung-sook was that girl herself once, except In-ho married her). She tells the girl that her life is about to change, though, no matter what.
Seung-hee overhears this exchange and tells Jung-sook she has no right to give out advice. Jung-sook — knowing nothing of Seung-hee’s situation — says, “Raising a child on your own isn’t easy.” And Seung-hee comes back with, “How would you know that when you raised your kids in comfort?”
I really, really love all the counterfactuals that are being set up between all these cases. We’ve got unwed mothers that became married and unwed mothers that didn’t. We’ve got married mothers that actively got rid of their husbands and those left alone when their husbands died (like Jung-sook’s mom). And we’ve got one character — In-ho — who’s both a “responsible” father and an absent father. It’s got all the complexity of a scientific study, and being the nerd that I am, I can’t wait to see the results.

Oh God! I loved these two episodes. Jung-seok's confidence hitting rock bottom and she deciding to just quit after her careful consideration irked me to pieces. I like that she's determined, but she's not steadfast in her resolve to be something for herself. Will another roadblock have her reconsidering her residency again? Quitting her residency shouldn't even have been the first to come to her mind.
But...in the midst of all these drama, she gained not just a support, but a financial one. And that was one of the highlights for me last week. At least now, the hospital administration will have to think about how to reject her residency resignation should it come up at another time, unlike before even they'll jump at it.
Good for In-ho. Balding ✅. The other one ✅. But Kim Byung-chul is making it a hard job to not like In-ho cause he's literally telling me, with his own characterizations, that karma is already visiting In-ho. So I keep my emotions in check and let KBC do the thing for me🤣.
Yes to the way she got her stay back in patient rounds. She's not a dullard In-ho. There's a reason why she tops the class during med school 20 years ago.
I particularly commend Choi Eun-soo for standing up for her mom when her Uncle talked Seung-hui down at the funeral. I am Choi Eun-soo felt like she was saying "I am my mother's daughter".
The fall at the end of episode 6 is something I can relate with. Bonus point, I was on a grassland. But that slow-mo...🤣🤣. Bring it on episode 7.

This weekend's episodes changed my mind about In-ho. As of now, there's no way I want to see Jung-sook still with him by the end of this series. The guy is scum.
I would love to see Seung-hee come to her senses and realize that she and her daughter deserve better than the likes of him. He keeps asking her for more time, and she's given him YEARS. It's time she realizes that In-ho is the problem, not Jung-sook. In fact, nothing would make me happier than to see the wife and the mistress band together and make In-ho's life miserable.
I'm even more motivated to see Jung-sook move on with her life and find her own happiness now that we know the house they live in is actually under Jung-seok's name.

Yes exactly! In-ho is the problem of this family drama! Yes I get that it would have caused a scandal, but if he truly cared for Seung-hee rather than his own reputation, he shouldn’t have married Jung-sook (maybe supporting her and Jung-min). Him marrying Jung-sook and not owning up to his fathering of Eun-seo shows he only cares about himself and his appearance, and I love how his worst fault will bring down his public and private life.
I was wondering why Seung-hee kept on seeing In-ho, and the episodes showed that she really must love In-ho. But I think deep down she wants to demonstrate that what she and In-ho experience is real love, which explains her unyielding commitment to him, and it was Jung-sook who was the interloper who ruined everything.

Honesty, I am not too concerned about Dr.Cha. Yea of course she will be hurt. But I think she will move on. There is no love or even camaraderie between the couple. it’s the daughter that will have a hard time.
The son is grown up.
She might try to buy time (for divorce) until her daughter goes to college but I don’t think the other kid is going to be patient anymore. She has an agenda.

What a mess!
I don’t get Seung-hee. I get it she got pregnant and chose to have the child. But why is she still stringing along In-Ho! She is a smart qualified and financially independent doctor. In-Ho has NO intention of divorcing his wife and marrying her. He is perfectly fine in keeping both the family as status quo. He is not going to choose one over the other.
It makes it look like Seung-hee is happy with the status quo. As long as the wife is at home and she spends time with In-Ho she is ok with it?
She should be hating In-Ho but she is taking it all out on Dr.Cha. She went on a power trip on a resident who was transferred to another department.
May be she feels she is the rightful wife and Dr.Cha needs to make way for her.
Lady, wait till you watch your man refusing to divorce his wife.
The kid clearly has plans. She wants to out the secret.
Yi Rang is struggling and she going to be affected the most by all this.
In-Ho - the man who doesn’t know the importance of using protection 😅. Lol, I found it funny when he said his face turns pale every time it happens made me laugh. He ended up in the same Situation twice. How dumb can a doctor be??

Yeah Seung-hee is experiencing all the pleasantness of her relationship with In-ho because she isn't his wife and she didn't get to experience firsthand his cowardice and utter devotion to his mother (I wonder what her reaction would be like if she finds out he hesitated to give Jung-sook his liver because of his mother’s meddling). The mother-in-law keeps on saying she bullies Jung-sook because she made her miss out on the opportunity of having the perfect daughter-in-law, but I think she would have still found fault with Seung-hee, and I think the latter wouldn’t hesitate to divorce In-ho since nothing will make her stay in her marriage with In-ho, if the love and affection are all gone.
Plus, the way the mother-in-law bragged about Jung-sook’s homemaking and child rearing skills showed that she is more than satisfied with having a subservient daughter-in-law rather than an accomplished one. I mean her friends did say she could have a doctor daughter-in-law, along with a doctor son, if she didn’t make her a housewife.

Right. Being a wife is so different from being a girl friend/mistress.
I am sure even if he wants to divorce the mother will not agree. with her cancer I am sure DIL will help her out more than her son and grandchildren.

Now that you mention, remember Cha asking her husband to add her name to the building ownership and he refused? This was after her surgery. Because the mother didn’t allow it? What does this mean? It was in her name but neither the son or Cha knew about it?
Is this some plot hole or did I miss something?

@ Blue (mayhemf) yes, as she left the bank MIL said she should never have put the house in Cha’s name, but we don’t yet know why she did and no one else knows it. Probably some kind of tax dodge 😁 or am I too cynical? We’ll see!

May 3, 2023 at 2:11 PM
Customarily, groom provides the marital house and bride the contents. MIL bought/transferred house to son alone. Cha wanted compensation for being housewife instead of career doctor - - an equal, so Seo himself transferred property to Cha to keep her from divorcing him or causing damage to his reputation.

I have no doubt they will separate. If he didn’t have a child with the other woman the show might have gone that route. But with another family and a child in the picture, it will be very hard for her to continue in this loveless marriage.
In fact I hope both the women dump him :)

I'm generally enjoying watching this. But, it is hard to believe that Dr. Cha has not had any idea or thoughts for for nearly 2 decades that her husband having an affair. No gifts (probably a deal breaker in any marriage when birthdays/anniversaries are forgotten---or at least a cause of many squabbles). Sleeping in separate rooms with no marital relationship for 10 years especially when they are both relatively young....these are not 70 year olds not sleeping together, but 30/40 year olds---that can't be just explained as couples growing apart as they age. In ho's absences at dinner because he is out with his mistress. He also took trips with his mistress that over time can't be just explained away as professional. Also, has In ho never given money or gifts to his daughter by his mistress? I can't think that would be acceptable to his mistress over nearly 2 decades. On top of that there is an entire workplace that has never met In ho's wife, that is also very hard to believe. Would In ho never have brought his wife to a work party/wedding etc. I can't imagine any wife being OK with that no matter how grateful. Now, I'm enjoying this series, but this makes Dr. Cha's character seem kinda dumb. Maybe we will find out that she did have an idea about what is going on with her husband as we move forward in the show. You just can't explain away not picking up clues about that kind of infidelity/bad relationship over decades by simply being a grateful, dutiful wife.

I agree with others who think it's willful ignorance. I remember in an earlier episode where she said to Dr. Kim that getting divorced requires more courage than getting married. It's likely she's thought of it but was just too scared to make the leap, especially when her kids were younger.
Especially when you consider that she didn't even have her own income until she resumed her residency, plus she also believed that the deed to their house did not even have her name on it.

It's interesting that you say that he would make an honest woman of her since I would consider that a very old-fashioned 1950's kind of thought. That is why I wonder if I'm not seeing this through the appropriate cultural lens. I like the show, I just find her characterization at the moment a bit too much----too kind, too thoughtful of others, too dismissive of her own needs up until the present. It just doesn't ring true to me and that is what makes her appear not that sharp in contrast to her test scores---not that I mind since I'm enjoying the show!

Yes, I think In Ho and his mother have a very 50s attitude toward family structure. 50s in the West, that is. In Korea that structure has only recently been shaken up and unwed mothers are still not accepted.

May 2, 2023 at 1:10 PM
Perhaps dumb was too harsh from me. I can understand willful ignorance as divorce really is harder then marriage. She is fictional, so I know she does not represent reality (nor should she). But, that is a pretty awful marriage that she has been a part of. Putting aside everything else (adultery, lies, lack of support-belittling, etc), I can not think of one women that I know that would never confront a husband about not getting a birthday, anniversary or any other gift over nearly twenty years of marriage and two children no matter the circumstances. So, she has to work extremely hard at being willfully ignorant.

I think it was the standard for such a marriage into a wealthy family. It was expected a career woman would give up her career to become mother. Cha devoted the last 20 + years for her children until their treatment of her reached a tipping point.
Seo felt obligated to marry Cha even though he was in love with Choi. That never changed. He was looking to preserve his social status and move up the ranks in the medical profession. He had a loveless marriage but a housekeeper for his children and mother.
However, Seo's ego and sexual desires resulted in Choi's daughter (which could have been a trap to get him to divorce Cha - - but he refused.) My impression is that Eun-Seo is older than I-Rang. When Choi was pregnant, Seo went back to Cha to have relations that begat I-Rang. That may have made Cha feel that he did care about her.

Thanks. That's helpful. But, it would have been pre 1970's, that a women would be expected to give up her career in the US. Also, a women marrying into a rich family would hire help, not be expected to do anything. I knew that there were differences, but I didn't expect it to be so different in terms of a women's place at home and work. It does help me understand Dr. Cha a little more.

We have seen this time and again in dramas. Girls study hard to get into top tier universities, only to become a house wife who takes care of the family and use their knowledge to educate their children. Even if they continued to work and have a good career the responsibility of children's education falls solely on the woman.
I am waiting for day Dr.Cha will ask her husband to pull some weight at home. Their daughter is struggling, but the father does nothing but complain to the mother to take care of it. So what's his role as a parent anyway? A sperm donor????

Actually, I didn't have this drama on my radar, but since I had read in several places how good it is, I just wanted to take a quick look and immediately watched all available episodes in one piece.
I love hating the unfaithful husband. The beauty of it is that he gets a good kicking in virtually every episode and I can watch with glee.
If only to further destroy his ego, I hope his wife ends up with the younger and more attractive Dr Roy Kim.
Having suffered from frozen shoulder myself (though I am younger) and finally having almost full mobility back after almost two years, I know how limiting and painful this condition is. Enjoy it, In-ho!
I felt sorry for the mistress briefly, but the feeling quickly faded, she's too mean for that. I understand her earlier frustration, but logically it doesn't make sense that she is so full of hate for her lover's wife, but has forgiven him for everything and kind of accepts that he doesn't have enough backbone to separate from his wife.

When did In ho and Seung hee meet again. They said in the premiere episodes that they rekindled their relationship after meeting in the states 10 years ago during In ho's training.
So, they were seeing each other again (remember when JK and her friend were talking about how Seung hee headed for the states after they graduated) before that and then stopped?
What a waste of a plotline to have him be the father of Seung hee's child. What a waste of a plotline.

The way InHo reacts when Jeong Suk is electrocuted makes me think he still has feelings for her. I hope this isn’t an indication that she will end up with him.
“The thing that saves Jung-sook is that she starts to develop close relationships with some of her patients” I hate that this is the reason for her success, not that she shows competence. Doctors specifically should not practice empathy because that interferes with dispassionate and objective treatment of their patients.
Another example is Jeong Suk buying chairman Oh underwear. That is so weird. I can understand of it was PJs or a shirt but underwear?
I do not like the senior resident. She is just too arrogant and mean for my liking
So Eun So is InHo’s daughter. Since the daughters are roughly the same age, I guess Seung Hi was pregnant around the time Jeong Suk was as well? I am starting to feel some sympathy for Seung Hi. I enjoyed the bonding moment with Eun So.
InHo on the other hand. Balding, frozen shoulder- loving it.
Looks like Jeong Suk is finally figuring out the affair. Girl sure took her time

I just can’t understand Seung-hee. She was rich, smart, and successful. Why she chose to have relationship after her boyfriend cheated on her, married the other woman and left her? Why didn’t she leave him after she became pregnant and he didn’t divorce his wife to take responsibility or didn’t even acknowledge the child?
Does she think herself as this tragic heroine from those trashy novels where pure hearted female lead’s love is stolen by a seductive vamp and she is waiting patiently by his side to prove her pure love for him.
She is either seriously gas-lighted or seriously self-deluded herself on positive outcome for this decade long affair.

Yep, I definitely think that's the problem with Seung-hee, and unfortunately, it only caused her more harm than good. I honestly thought her daughter's meltdown would be her wake-up call to finally end her detrimental relationship with In-ho, but alas it just made her enact on her delusions 😞

I think part of the reason why Seung-hee can't just let go of In-ho is that she fought her own family to keep her child, and they disowned her for it.
To give up on In-ho at this stage would not just mean giving up on a potential life with him, it would also mean that all those years of being estranged from her parents and siblings would be for nothing. And it would mean her family would get to say 'I told you so' and belittle her even more than they already do now.

WHy is no one livid as I am? The SHEER AUDACITY of the Mistress and the daughter disgust me to no end.. at the end of the day her 1st love was a MARRIED MAN who broke up with her over 20 years ago and what she did and is doing is beyond wrong. Her daughter is awful... Next, the house is in Jung-sook name... no one is talking about this? First, how is that possible and Second, the mother in law keeping that from her was just wrong. My prediction is In ho will be the biggest loser. His mistress and illegitimate daughter will go back to the US in the end and he will lose his wife, children, and home.

As hard as the show is trying to present In-ho as a lighthearted buffoon, i.e., that ridiculous typing to the William Tell Overture, I have never liked him. Even before we learned he is Eun-seo’s father, I found him contemptible. Because that’s how he treats his wife; with contempt. I had wondered why he didn’t just leave Jung-sook, and now that we know she holds title to the house, I think we might have our answer. Lord knows he didn’t stay with her out of any sense of moral obligation.
As for Seung-hee, some of the most successful, accomplished women I know make stupid decisions in their personal lives. No one is immune to being deaf, dumb and blind in relationships. I hesitate to call it “love” because it’s usually not love but something else that won’t allow a person to face the truth.
I’m glad Jung-sook is finding her groove. Dr. Roy Kim is dreamy.

Seeing the trailers for the next episode I think Dr Kim didn't tell her about her husband's affair but about his feeling which is really bad. Maybe she will find out in episode 10.

I have to say the ceremony where the chairman donates a ton of money, in the name of Dr Cha and would take it all back if they fire her, has to be the highlight of the episode. He was the real MVP this episode especially when he gave Dr Cha advice '' Tell me everything. Once you let everything out you'll feel better '' words that will definitely stick with me.
I love Jung min reaction when his mother gets the recognition and the stink eye he got from his girlfriend. Can't believe she is actually jealous of Dr Cha.
