TV CHOSUN's 'Doctor Shin' Sees Ratings Boost as Drama Nears Finale
In the episode aired on the 26th, Geum Bara (played by Joo Se-bin) successfully gave birth to her son and discovered that her biological father is Paul Kim (Ji Young-san) and her biological mother is Hyun Ran-hee (Song Ji-in). She also learned that Momo (Baek Seo-ra) is her half-sister. The episode was filled with twists, including Momo, who has Kim Jin-joo's brain, deciding to divorce Ha Yong-jung (Ahn Woo-yeon), and Shin Joo-shin's (Jung Yi-chan) heartfelt feelings towards Geum Bara.
Meanwhile, Momo (with Kim Jin-joo's brain) suffered a miscarriage and was hospitalized at Shin Joo-shin's clinic. She tried to console herself by telling Ha Yong-jung, "I think it's for the best. I prefer sons." Despite her efforts, she couldn't get pregnant and began obsessively monitoring Ha Yong-jung's phone.
James (Jeon No-min) invited Shin Joo-shin and Ha Yong-jung to celebrate Shin Joo-shin's birthday, expressing concern over Geum Bara's absence for over six months. A call from an employee who spotted a pregnant Geum Bara at a rest stop with an elderly woman shocked everyone. Shin Joo-shin discreetly asked Ha Yong-jung about Geum Bara's pregnancy, but he denied knowing anything. James speculated, "If she's 6-7 months pregnant, she must have conceived after disappearing..."
Geum Bara confirmed the DNA test results, showing a 99.9% match with Kim Young-jun, and broke down in tears. After giving birth to her son, she expressed gratitude towards Ha Yong-jung, saying, "I don't resent you. Thanks to you, I have a child and found my father." However, she couldn't reveal the truth to Paul Kim and silently acknowledged him as her father.
Momo (with Kim Jin-joo's brain) returned home after a fight with Ha Yong-jung over their differing views on household issues and infertility clinic visits. She slapped Ha Yong-jung in anger and decided to divorce him, as he demanded. Ha Yong-jung confessed to James about his night with Geum Bara, suggesting the child might be his.
Feeling anxious about Geum Bara's return, Momo (with Kim Jin-joo's brain) sought out Ha Yong-jung, who coldly rejected her. After Momo left, Shin Joo-shin informed Ha Yong-jung that Geum Bara was hospitalized for tests, prompting him to drive frantically towards her, setting the stage for upcoming turmoil.
