Actor Kim Byung Chul from hit drama 'Doctor Cha' receives love after enduring 18 years without a spotlight

The JTBC drama 'Doctor Cha' has been capturing the hearts of viewers with its compelling storyline and remarkable performances.

While lead actress Uhm Jung Hwa shines in her role, it is actor Kim Byung Chul, who portrays the character of Seo In Ho, that has been receiving immense love and appreciation from the audience.

Despite playing a deplorable character with negative traits, Kim Byung Chul's brilliant acting has won over viewers, who find his portrayal both hilarious and lovable. Let's take a look at the reasons behind the actor's popularity and the comments shared by netizens.

According to reports, 'Doctor Cha' has seen a significant surge in its viewer ratings, soaring up to 17%. The drama's unconventional approach to storytelling, coupled with the unique characterization, has caught the attention of the public in unexpected ways.

While Uhm Jung Hwa's portrayal of the lead character is commendable, it is Kim Byung Chul's role as Seo In Ho, the patriarchal father figure with a secret affair, that has become a highlight of the series.

Despite the character's flaws, viewers are captivated by Kim Byung Chul's quirky and comedic performance, which has brought a refreshing twist to the storyline.

It has been revealed that Kim Byung Chul has been selective in choosing his projects, focusing on hits since his appearance in the popular drama 'Goblin.' His notable roles in 'SKY Castle' and 'Descendants of The Sun' have further solidified his reputation as a talented actor.

However, prior to these successes, Kim Byung Chul spent 18 years in the industry as a relatively unknown actor.

He made his debut in 2003 with the film 'Once Upon a Time in a Battlefield,' but it wasn't until 2019, through 'Doctor Prisoner,' that he assumed a major character in a mini-series.

This long journey of perseverance and hard work has made his current success all the more meaningful.

As news of Kim Byung Chul's outstanding performance in 'Doctor Cha' spreads, netizens have taken to various online platforms to express their admiration for the actor.

Here are some of the comments from the enthusiastic netizens:

"Kim Byung Chul's portrayal of Seo In Ho is a testament to his versatility as an actor. He brings depth and charisma to a character that could have easily been one-dimensional. I'm completely hooked!"

"I can't help but laugh every time Seo In Ho appears on screen. Kim Byung Chul's comedic timing is spot-on. He truly steals the show!"

"I never thought I would find a cheating husband character endearing, but Kim Byung Chul has managed to make Seo In Ho strangely likable. His acting skills are incredible."

"Kim Byung Chul's journey from being a nameless actor to becoming the center of attention in 'Doctor Cha' is truly inspiring. He deserves all the love he's receiving!"

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
