Doctor Cha

Really looked forward to each new episode in the beginning but the series gradually goes downhill as time goes on. The husband is a cheating jerk who cheats at work right in front of his wife and son and co- workers at work. His wife loyally raising his children for 20 years before restarting her career at the hospital where her husband and cheating mistress works. A brat secret love child tops it off. Plenty of pity and blame and illness - and went bad in my opinion with an unsatisfying ending. Am glad Netflix is adding more K-Drama for us lately however saw a few others that had some better script.

Although I have only seen 5 episodes, I was hooked after the first 15 minutes of the 1st episode.. I adore the cast which is truly amazing and believable. I was first introduced to kdramas on Netflix and my playlist is mostly filled with them! I wish the USA would learn from kdramas on showing the respect between the cast and giving the audience a chance to use their imaginations instead of showing every sexual detail. Everybody should give Dr Cha a chance before forming an opinion that you will ultimately regret. The only problem I have with this show is that it's only shown on the weekends!!

Doctor Cha returns as a first year resident twenty years after leaving the medical profession to raise children after getting married. Her husband has been cheating and has a child from before they were married and this is the story of how she comes to terms with her changing life and the fact she has serious health problems. The Dr played well by Uhm Jung-hwa is a great character but the writers touched on lots of subjects and characters but gave little depth to any of them, it felt like they had a tick list to cover a scenario and then move on. I was particularly annoyed at how they all treated the illegitimate daughter and then tried to make it right with a few scenes in the final episode. Kim Mi Kyung plays the mother as she always does and I mention her as even though her roles are usually minor she always makes the character believable. So great characters, well acted but let down by poor script.

Dr. Cha is the woman many of the Millennials are, the ones who started with a promising career and was left behind not because not being smart but because life happens and many of us, had to choose priorities as being wives or being career woman. Some women were successful in this because their spouses were very supportive, but we all know that all Dr's Cha, are the one who gave all for their spouses and the spouses did not support at all so it went downfall. The story is amazing, is great and thank God is not another Grey's anatomy, but a story that affects woman millennials society, and since humanism is a thing that explains how and why we repeat stupid behavior like this even if is in the Pacific Ocean area or In the Atlantic we are all victims of our own condition. And I hope women take this in consideration to not repeat what having a relationship to please our parents doesn't really help us in the future. So, lesson learned. Now, the other side of the story I really think the financial future holds in the women and men returning to their main educational roots, and I believe the universities, do need to take their idealist hypocrisy regulations and shove them on a hole in the dirt and let the new ones grow. We need more new regulations that benefit people like me in their 40's and smarter that the current clueless student population.

A series about a downtrodden wife and mother breaking free from her philandering husband and abusive mother-in-law might have culminated as a joyful celebration. However, this series fails to hit such heights. Nevertheless, it gives us a sympathetic heroine to root for, if you can forgive her initial failure to fight back.

That sympathy for Doctor Cha's plight carries you through the series. Unfortunately her husband is often depicted as a comic character, which, for me at least, dissipated somewhat the emotional power of the story. Nor does the final episode help, with overly easy conclusions to each of the plot strands.

Nevertheless I did watch it through to the end and do not regret having done so.
