3 Reasons To Anticipate Kim Ji Won’s Upcoming Drama “Doctor X”
SBS’s forthcoming Friday–Saturday drama “Doctor X” is gearing up for its much-anticipated release!
Based on the hit Japanese series of the same name, “Doctor X” is a medical noir that follows Gye Soo Jung (Kim Ji Won), a brilliant surgeon who demonstrates what it truly means to be a doctor through sheer skill as she operates within a corruption-ridden establishment.
Ahead of the premiere, the production team has revealed three points to look out for:
1. Thrilling dramas about punishing wrongdoing
“Doctor X” continues SBS’s tradition of gripping dramas centred on protagonists who confront corruption and punish wrongdoing. Representative examples include the “Taxi Driver” series, “The Fiery Priest” series, and “The Judge from Hell.” More recently, the revenge-action drama “Agent Kim Reactivated” also proved successful.
Building on this track record, “Doctor X” transfers the theme of confronting injustice to the medical genre, with Gye Soo Jung taking on a deeply corrupt medical establishment.
2. Kim Ji Won’s dramatic transformation into a brilliant surgeon
At the centre of “Doctor X” is Gye Soo Jung and her fight against corruption at Guseo University Hospital, where power struggles run deep. As she challenges the medical establishment with her surgical skill, her high-stakes operations will also play a major role in the drama.
Against this backdrop, Kim Ji Won’s transformation into Gye Soo Jung is another key point to watch. She plays a brilliant doctor who refuses to accept failure or compromise and stands up against injustices within the medical profession.
3. A powerhouse ensemble bringing the characters to life
The anticipation also extends to the star-studded cast joining Kim Ji Won. Lee Jung Eun plays Jang Hee Sook, the head of a medical staffing agency, Son Hyun Joo plays hospital director Bu Seung Kwon, and Kim Woo Seok plays intern Park Tae Kyung. Their characters will further expand the drama’s story as they become involved in the conflicts surrounding Guseo University Hospital.
“Doctor X” is set to premiere on 9 October at 9:50 p.m. KST. Stay tuned!
