Netflix 'Doctor Cha' Episode 9 Review: Jung-sook considers ending her marriage, starts pondering options
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: K-dramas have changed the course of cinema and have taken the narrative far from typical storytelling. 'Doctor Cha' on Netflix has become a fan favourite and has clearly become the talk of the town. This week's episode was a banger as last week's episode left us wanting more. As we were contemplating if Jung-sook will ever know about In-ho's extra marital affair, the show threw a curve ball at us and we were stumped.
This week's episode walks on the consequences of In-ho's actions and the fact that Jung-sook realizes that her beloved grumpy husband is cheating on her with her childhood nemesis. To make things worse, it was quite heartbreaking for Jung-sook to realize that everyone but her knew about her husband. Episode 9 slowly unravels the details of the affair. Last week, we saw Jung-sook celebrating her birthday with her family while she finally got to know about In-ho and Seung-hi. This week continues from where we last left Jung-sook, at the restaurant table.

The whole saga confirms that she knows about In-ho, and there will be consequences when the family gets home.
