The Love Triangle Nobody Asked For — But Everyone Needs
Just when you thought Doctor Shin couldn’t get more chaotic after its brain-swap premiere, Episodes 3 and 4 are about to throw a full-blown love triangle into the mix.
In newly released stills, Ha Yong Joong (An Woo Yeon) is seen playing the double bass at a “Night of Gratitude” event held at the Nua Foundation orphanage — when Momo (Baek Seo Ra) suddenly takes the stage, dancing as she boldly flirts with him. Though visibly flustered, Ha Yong Joong can’t seem to take his eyes off her, caught between confusion and an undeniable pull.
Shin Joo Shin (Jung E Chan) witnesses the charged moment firsthand, his calm expression barely masking the shock of seeing his lover Momo with his friend.

What Happened Before Episode 3?
In the previous episodes, genius doctor Shin Joo Shin began a fateful romance with top actress Momo, only for her to fall into a coma after a sudden accident. Following this, Momo’s mother Hyun Ran Hee requested that Shin Joo Shin perform a controversial brain-switch surgery, leaving viewers desperate for the outcome.
Despite the attention-grabbing premise, the show’s premiere recorded nationwide ratings of 1.3% for part one and 1.4% for part two — modest numbers, but the buzz online tells a very different story of growing curiosity.
What to Expect in Episodes 3 & 4
The production team teased: “Episodes 3 and 4 will bring an unexpected storm of twists and variables. Please look forward to whether the triangle romance between Jung E Chan, Baek Seo Ra, and An Woo Yeon can truly unfold, and keep an eye on Doctor Shin as it begins to cast a shadow of impending tragedy.”
Doctor Shin is written by screenwriter Phoebe (Im Sung-han), whose previous works include the wildly popular Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce). The drama is part of the growing wave of bold Korean medical melodramas — a genre explored in depth on Wikipedia’s Korean medical drama page.
The series premiered on TV Chosun on March 14, 2026, and airs every Saturday and Sunday at 22:30 KST, with simultaneous streaming on Coupang Play.
