JTBC’s hit drama “Doctor Cha” has been confirmed for Season 2!
On September 1, a media outlet reported that “Doctor Cha” had kicked off preparations for the production of Season 2, reuniting its popular leads Uhm Jung Hwa and Kim Byung Chul.
In response to the report, Uhm Jung Hwa and Kim Byung Chul’s agency Alien Company confirmed, “Uhm Jung Hwa and Kim Byung Chul will star in Season 2 of ‘Doctor Cha.’”
Aired in 2023, “Doctor Cha” is a drama that follows the “ripped life stitches” of Cha Jung Sook (Uhm Jung Hwa), who transforms from a housewife of 20 years to a first year medical resident. The drama ended with its highest viewership, achieving an average nationwide viewership rating of 18.5 percent.
Uhm Jung Hwa was at the forefront of the show’s popularity, playing Cha Jung Sook, who, after graduating from medical school and spending over 20 years as an ordinary housewife, decides to resume the residency she once gave up.
Kim Byung Chul played Seo In Ho, Cha Jung Sook’s husband and a doctor—a finicky character with an intense sense of self-love.
