Despite low ratings of 0-1% for the first 13 episodes, the latest episode aired on the 26th of last month achieved a series-high rating of 2.2%.

'Dr. Shin' (written by Phoebe, Im Sung-han/directed by Lee Seung-hoon/produced by TME Group, Scene & Studio) explores the forbidden desires and instincts of love through the theme of 'brain change.' The intertwined romance and intrigue have captivated viewers. The 14th episode, aired on the 26th of last month, recorded a peak rating of 2.5% according to Nielsen Korea, breaking its own record.

In the 14th episode, Geum Bara (played by Joo Se-bin) disappears after safely giving birth to her son and finding her biological father Paul Kim (Ji Young-san), mother Hyun Ran-hee (Song Ji-in), and half-sister Momo (Baek Seo-ra).

The 15th episode, airing today, will feature a 'desperate reunion' between Ahn Woo-yeon and Joo Se-bin, raising the tension. In a serious confrontation, Ha Yong-jung pleads for forgiveness from Geum Bara, who remains cold and distant. A single word from Geum Bara leaves Ha Yong-jung in shock, raising questions about what she said and whether he will learn about his son.

The 'ice-breaking confrontation' scene showcases the strong acting chemistry between Ahn Woo-yeon and Joo Se-bin, who expressed emotions through their eyes. Both actors focused intensely on their roles, reducing conversation during preparation. Ahn Woo-yeon portrayed Ha Yong-jung's turmoil through his eyes, while Joo Se-bin vividly depicted Geum Bara's drastic change with a cold demeanor and dry tone, creating palpable tension.

The production team stated, "As we approach the final episode, Ahn Woo-yeon and Joo Se-bin's emotional performances have created an intense climax scene that freezes the air. With only two episodes left, watch how the fates of Ha Yong-jung and Geum Bara unfold in 'Dr. Shin.'"

'Dr. Shin,' a medical thriller drama about a genius doctor challenging the divine realm and a woman losing her soul due to brain damage, is accelerating towards its conclusion with Phoebe's signature storytelling. Episode 15 will air today at 10:30 PM on TV CHOSUN and Coupang Play.
