Uhm Jung-hwa and LE SSERAFIM

There are no words to describe this exciting collaboration so I suggest that you go check out Instagram and Twitter and YouTube videos of their performance. This happened on the first night of the 2023 Weverse Con Festival. Uhm Jung-hwa, who debuted in 1993 before most of this generation’s KPop idols were born, was frontContinue reading “Uhm Jung-hwa and LE SSERAFIM”

In episode 4, she meets up with a powerhouse of former and current KPop female idols. Hyori, BoA, Jung-hwa, and Hwasa visit the home of KimContinue reading “Seoul Check-In”

Doctor Cha Finale

The one thing that sets apart KDrama from other telenovelas is that the writers know how to end a series in 16 episodes. There is closure, a (usually) satisfying ending, character growth, and if the series is really popular, a clamor for a second season.  Doctor Cha the series ended well. It’s not the typicalContinue reading “Doctor Cha Finale”

Doctor Cha And Hometown Cha Cha Cha

Did you know that the 2021 TV series Hometown Cha Cha Cha is a remake of the 2004 movie Mr. Hong?

Dancing Queen

More than a decade ago, Doctor Cha’s Uhm Jung-hwa was more of a singer-dancer than an actress. She starred in a musical comedy movie opposite Hwang Jung-min. They played a married couple. She was an aerobics instructor who supported his lawyer husband until he finally passed the bar exam in his mid-30s. After an unexpectedContinue reading “Dancing Queen”

Wonderful Nightmare

While waiting for the next episode of Doctor Cha, I found this 2015 movie starring Uhm Jung-hwa. Her friend Ra Mi-ran (The Good Bad Mother) has a minor role in it. They previously worked together in the 2012 comedy Dancing Queen. They’re both excellent dancers. Actor Kim Byung-chul also has a minor role in thisContinue reading “Wonderful Nightmare”

The Toxic Husband in Doctor Cha

Kim Byung-chul is the perfect actor to play the toxic husband of Doctor Cha. One look at him and you know that he’s a bad husband. It’s like his role in SKY Castle. He’s a good provider but he has no compassion for his wife and children. He’s more concerned with his reputation among hisContinue reading “The Toxic Husband in Doctor Cha”

First Look at Doctor Cha

Here’s a different mid-life crisis: a housewife who gave up her career to raise two children is now rethinking her happiness. Her strict husband is probably having an affair, her mother-in-law treats her like a maid, and her children are unappreciative. After one eye-opening situation, she picks up where she left off: her medical residency.Continue reading “First Look at Doctor Cha”
