"Doctor Cha" is currently gaining a lot of attention from K-drama viewers. This drama tells of Cha Jeong Suk (Uhm Jung Hwa), a housewife who decides to restart her medical resident course.
However, the plot of the affair shown in "Doctor Cha" drew criticism from the audience. In the latest episode, Jeong Suk accidentally met the child of his husband's affair, Seo In Ho (Kim Byung Chul) and Choi Seung Hi (Myung Se Bin).
Jeong Suk, who did not know about her husband's affair from the start, is now starting to get suspicious. The woman remembers witnessing the intimacy of her husband and Seung Hi. Plus, Seung Hi proudly wears the exact bracelet that her husband gave her.
In Ho and Seung Hee were also shown enjoying a date together in a hotel room. Seung Hee confirmed that she had a child with In Ho when reminiscing, "Your face turned white when I was pregnant with Eun Seo."

Unexpectedly, the plot of the affair in which In Ho and Seung Hi had teenage children drew criticism from the audience for "Doctor Cha". They say that the over-arranging of his affairs appears to have been a mistake.
"Isn't it a difficult matter to deal with infidelity and children out of wedlock?" wrote one viewer. "Seung Hee and Jeong Suk's daughters appeared at the same age. Isn't this a clear dead end?" added another viewer.
Despite this criticism, "Doctor Cha", which was broadcast on April 30, successfully scored the highest rating throughout the broadcast. According to Nielsen Korea, the sixth episode of the drama which was also broadcast by JTBC won a rating of 13.2 percent.
