Agencies for Uhm Jung‑hwa and Kim Byung‑chul announced that they will star in Doctor Cha Season 2. The news comes after a media outlet reported that preparations were already underway. However, production company SLL issued a more cautious statement, saying, “Nothing has been concretely discussed yet regarding the production of Doctor Cha Season 2.” This leaves fans eagerly waiting for the next official update.
Aired in 2023 on JTBC, Doctor Cha follows Cha Jung‑sook (Uhm Jung‑hwa), who after 20 years as a housewife, returns to medical school and embarks on a new life journey. It quickly became a hit, earning an average 18.5% nationwide viewership the highest for a Korean cable drama at the time.
Uhm Jung‑hwa’s latest project, the ENA rom‑com My Troublesome Star, premiered on August 18, 2025. She reunites with Song Seung‑heon for the first time in over a decade in this quirky fantasy playing a top star who wakes up 25 years later as an entirely new person. Critics have praised the chemistry between the leads and Uhm’s layered performance as she navigates comedy and heartfelt drama.
