TV CHOSUN '닥터신' Jung I-chan felt a dissonance between reality and emotion toward his mother-in-law, who looks exactly like Baek Seora on the outside, and delivered another staggering shock by foreshadowing another brain change surgery.
On the 28th broadcast of TV CHOSUN's weekend miniseries '닥터신' (written by Phoebe (Im Seong-han), directed by Lee Seung-hoon), episode 5 showed Shin Ju-shin (played by Jung I-chan) living with Momo (played by Baek Seora), who looks like the woman he loved on the outside but, from her way of speaking to her thoughts, is entirely Momo as her mother-in-law Hyun Ran-hee (played by Song Ji In) — Momo (Hyun Ran-hee's brain) — and their uncomfortable cohabitation exploded into conflict.
Momo (Hyun Ran-hee's brain) burst into Shin Ju-shin's house with her luggage, saying the leaking water at her home was hard to fix immediately, and ultimately Shin Ju-shin ended up living in the same house with Momo possessing his mother-in-law's brain. Lying on the bed in a room of Shin Ju-shin's house, Momo (Hyun Ran-hee's brain) kept watching toward Shin Ju-shin's room, overwhelmed by some strange emotion, raising questions.
At the same time, Paul Kim (played by Gee Young-san), who was looking for his daughter, received a call from a private investigator saying a nationwide independent youth support center search turned up exactly one person named Kim Jin-joo, and at the same time Kim Jin-joo (played by Cheon Young-min) expressed excitement after receiving a call saying her biological father had appeared. Paul Kim met Kim Jin-joo and asked many questions, including how she came to enter the orphanage, but when nothing conclusive emerged they decided to proceed with a DNA test. Kim Jin-joo hoped Paul Kim, with his handsome looks and kind nature, might be her biological father, and Paul Kim also hoped the hard-to-find Kim Jin-joo was his real daughter, but the DNA test showed they were not a match, and both fell into despair.
Kim Jin-joo tried to shake off her despair by drinking soju, and drunk, she stared chillingly at photos on the wall of Geum Ba-ra, Momo and others, shouting in anger, "All of them... all of them..." Then when Geum Ba-ra, who called, asked about the DNA test and hung up upon hearing the mismatch, Kim Jin-joo spat out "that cold-hearted bitch," startling Geum Ba-ra. Immediately after Geum Ba-ra hung up, Kim Jin-joo threw a ceramic doll at Geum Ba-ra's photo, exclaiming "a snake-like woman," proving the deep emotional rift between the two.
Meanwhile, Momo, who has the brain of Shin Ju-shin's mother-in-law Hyun Ran-hee, began to develop complicated feelings while living together with Shin Ju-shin. Momo (Hyun Ran-hee's brain) injured her back and became unable to move when a juice bottle broke in the kitchen, and Shin Ju-shin lifted the suffering Momo (Hyun Ran-hee's brain) and carried her to the bed. But a twist revealed that Momo (Hyun Ran-hee's brain) had deliberately dropped the juice bottle to break it and then faked slipping and injuring her back, causing chills.
Later, trying on a suit given by Kim Jin-joo, Shin Ju-shin texted to invite her to dinner. Kim Jin-joo happily ran to meet Shin Ju-shin, and when Shin Ju-shin asked about Kim Jin-joo seeing Geum Ba-ra (played by Joo Se bin) earlier that day and snacking together, saying, "So are you both currently single? boyfriend," he then asked, "what are you living for?" showing curiosity about Kim Jin-joo. Shin Ju-shin watched Kim Jin-joo closely, noting she even knew table manners, and when he asked if she resented her parents, Kim Jin-joo answered wisely, "I think there must have been circumstances," which pleased him.
After putting Momo (Hyun Ran-hee's brain), injured by the broken juice bottle, to bed, Shin Ju-shin was shaken by emotions at the sight of her, who looked exactly like Momo on the outside. Recalling the night before Momo's accident when he and Momo passionately loved each other at the villa, Shin Ju-shin was engulfed in conflict as feelings arose in reality toward Momo, who was Hyun Ran-hee in her brain.
At the end of episode 5, Shin Ju-shin was shown recalling moments he had loved Momo in the past while seriously staring at two empty operating tables, creating unease. Then, a "brain change surgery preview ending" unfolded with Momo (Hyun Ran-hee's brain) and Kim Jin-joo lying side by side on operating tables under anesthesia, raising intense interest in what kind of catastrophe might ensue in the unimaginable, shocking development.
Meanwhile, episode 5 revealed the tangled story between Paul Kim and Hyun Ran-hee. Paul Kim, who had a traffic accident in Germany and underwent surgery, had his face changed, which is why Hyun Ran-hee didn't recognize him. Believing Paul Kim had been raising the child well, Hyun Ran-hee was shocked to learn the daughter she gave birth to was named Kim Jin-joo, and it emerged that she conducted a DNA test with Kim Jin-joo, who was Momo's stylist, foreshadowing another upheaval.
After the broadcast, viewers reacted, "The episode 5 ending is really amazing! A Phoebe-style narrative that keeps delivering shocks!!" "They say little drops soak your clothes... somehow I've completely soaked up Phoebe and fallen into 닥터신!" "It's strange and odd! It's so entertaining I keep watching, and I'm so curious about the next episode. I'm rewatching it again!!" and other responses.
