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!"

Actor and now CEO Jo In Sung is touching hearts with his kind actions once again.

On May 5, in celebration of Children’s Day, Jo In Sung donated sneakers to kids in need through a charity group called “Manna,” made up of entertainers who work together to help children.

This group gives sneakers to kids every year on Children’s Day and Christmas, and this time, Jo In Sung personally joined the effort.

But this isn’t the only kind thing he’s done.

It was also revealed that Jo In Sung has been quietly paying for snacks every month for children in an orphanage.

On top of that, during last year’s movie “Smugglers” screening, he invited over 30 people, including teens from orphanages and those with rare illnesses, along with their families and caretakers — all out of his own goodwill.

Since 2020, he’s also been helping with treatment costs for children with rare diseases, showing his steady and heartfelt support behind the scenes.

Fans praised Jo In Sung for staying humble and kind, doing good without asking for praise.
