"My husband? Oh he's dead,” replied doctor Cha, when his superiors asked about the whereabouts of her husband. A spontaneous answer that made doctor Seo, doctor Cha's husband, spit out the contents of his mouth.

It's an epic scene. The way of revenge that might be greeted by cheers from the audience with the words "feel you!" Because he was carried away by what doctor Cha experienced, after 20 years of "serving" his family, eh was even considered a "wingking sidekick".

Derived from the Javanese language, "Konco wingking" can be interpreted as a wife whose job is only to be behind. It is needed, because it is always ready to make sacrifices, otherwise the husband is reluctant to sacrifice for him.

And it's so tiring! No wonder, in his anger, doctor Cha Jeong-Suk (Uhm Jung-Hwa) said to her husband:

Yes, I deliberately did not think about your position

I want to put myself first from now on

I just enjoyed another life outside the house

I can't stop now

This is my last chance

Anger that really relates to the condition of the majority of women who decide to leave their careers in order to be able to fully care for their families.

Sacrifice annoyingly answered by Seo In-Ho , Cha Jeong-Suk's husband played by Kim Byung-Chul:

"You don't play a role in owning family assets, do you?"

(( Huh I want to punch Seo In-Ho 😀😀 ))

Smart dialogue, a continuous storyline and qualified acting from senior actresses/actors as the main characters, are the reasons audiences love the Korean drama "Doctor Cha", so they managed to get a rating in the final episode of 18.546% (nationwide) and 19.383% (Seoul)

It's strange that the mydramalist reviewers only gave a rating of 8.1 (average number) because some gave a rating of 1.5 and even 1.0 for this drama. The majority of reviewers regretted that Doctor Cha finally chose to live alone. He refused the love of doctor Roy Kim who was dashing and too handsome.

The protest of the audience who were disappointed with the happy ending of the Korean drama "Doctor Cha", was answered by director Kim Dae-Jin that the ending was in accordance with the wishes of writernim Jung Yeo-Rang.

Honestly, I agree with the ending. Happy ending doesn't always mean that the main female character has to be with the main male character. Marriage is not as easy as turning the hand.

Especially the case of marriage like doctor Cha. After 20 years of sacrifice, they are considered "nothing" and cheated on.

Everyone has the right to be happy, and everyone has a different path to happiness.

That is what must be understood, so as not to go with the flow: "When are you getting married?" "When are you having children?" etc.
