Doctor Cha Episode 3 Highlights
After a near-death experience, Cha Jung-seok decides to rediscover her happiness. Giving up her career as a doctor to be a homemaker, she decides to pursue her dream profession.
Almost getting a perfect score on the written exams, she applies to Gusan Medical Hospital where her husband and son currently work.
At the interview, her age and recent surgery were questioned. But she makes a moving speech that impressed the doctors.
“My husband also didn’t tell me that you work here.”
After the interview, she quickly chats with her son and visits Choi Seung-hi who was baffled at the news of her application. Jung-seok asks for help in case she gets in and also keeps her intention from In-ho since the latter didn’t inform her that Seung-hee works with him in the same hospital.
Initially declined by Gusan Medical Hospital, Jeong-suk surprises her husband and Seung-hi when they see her at the hospital.
Apparently, a slot was opened and given to Jeong-suk.
While diligently working to not cause trouble with fellow residents, there arw instances that she gropes her way to the routine.
Lucky for Seung-hi, she finds an opportunity to transfer Jeong-suk to the surgery department. Now working with her husband and son, her resident training gets more challenging.
In-ho intends to make life harder for her and another resident is getting on her nerves for always picking on Jung-min.
“My husband is dead.”
Fortunately, Roy Kim, Jeong-suk’s doctor also transferred to Gusan Medical Hospital.
To welcome him as a new surgeon, a party was held which Jeong-suk enjoyed well.
When In-ho was put in the spotlight by one of the professors for giving his liver to his wife, Jeong-suk can’t help but laugh at the joke. It also amuses Dr. Kim.
Curious about Jeong-suk husband, the same professor asked about her husband’s profession.
Her response caught In-ho by surprise as she declares her husband is dead.
Doctor Cha Episode 3 Musings
Proving its rightful weekend spot for its highly amusing value, Doctor Cha is a surprising treat perfect not just for mothers but for the whole family.
What’s more interesting is the fresh humor it delivers smartly and sparingly. Comparing Director Kim Dae-jin’s previous dramas to his latest work is also quite amazing. He’s able to bring out a novelty to the usual Korean medical dramas we’ve seen thus far.
Jeong-suk’s bold determination to achieve a dream of her own no matter how late put her on realistic realizations. That the physical and mental challenges are not to be taken lightly. Also, she will end up limiting her usual roles as a mother.
We saw her daughter I-rang manifest the aftermath of Jeong-suk’s choice as she verbally complained about not getting the same care her brother had.
Not only that, Jeong-suk’s mother-in-law even took her disapproval to meet Jeong-suk’s mother to convince her to drop joining the residency program.
It won’t take long before she will also catch up on her husband’s infidelity. We are also rooting for her to get a divorce and even find a new love that is truly real.
Be inspired to commit to personally made happiness like Cha Jeong Suk in Doctor Cha! International fans can watch it on Netflix!
