Jo Aram portrays the character Jeon So Ra, a third-year surgical resident, in the JTBC weekend drama Doctor Cha, which is currently achieving its highest ratings. She showcases acting skills and charm that perfectly suit the character.

In the recent episodes aired on the 20th and 21st, Jo Aram experienced a sudden change in her relationship with her junior colleague Cha Jung Sook (played by Uhm Jung Hwa). This allowed her to express her true feelings. Unlike her previously cold and distant demeanor, she portrayed a warm-hearted side, captivating the viewers.

Particularly, she didn't overlook Uhm Jung Hwa's shock and emotional turmoil upon discovering her husband Kim Byung Chul's infidelity. She provided heartfelt consolation by revealing her own hidden family story, raising the immersion of the drama.

Jo Aram's loyalty and consideration, along with her "tsundere" charm, were evident not only in her interactions with her boyfriend Seo Jeong Min (played by Song Ji Ho) but also in other aspects. When she blamed herself and suffered from guilt after the death of her patient due to her own mistake, she reassuringly said, "I'll stay by your side until you can stand on your own," delivering a warm afterglow.

In this way, Jo Aram perfectly embodies the charm of a "lady of virtue" who is visually perfect, impeccably sharp in her work, and genuinely comforting to others. She exudes a strong presence with each appearance. Moreover, her portrayal of Jeon So Ra's emotions and pain is described as calm and delicate, adding further completeness to the character's narrative.

Meanwhile, Doctor Cha, in which Jo Aram is currently appearing, depicts the life of Cha Jung Sook, who transitions from being a 20-year housewife to a first-year resident, as she stitches together the torn pieces of her life. The drama airs every Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 PM.
