SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor X: The Era of the White Mafia' has captured attention with photos showcasing the overwhelming chemistry between Kim Ji-won and Lee Jung-eun.

The upcoming SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor X: The Era of the White Mafia' (produced by Studio S, Studio Dragon, and Hajieum Studio, hereinafter referred to as 'Doctor X') is a sharp medical noir that follows the activities of Dr. 'Gye Soo-jung', known as the "crazy surgeon in the operating room" who shatters massive injustices with her genius surgical skills, never accepting failure or compromise.

As the first medical genre entry in the 'SBS Sharp Universe', which has continued its unique box office legacy through titles such as 'Department Head Kim', 'Taxi Driver', 'Priest', and 'Judge from Hell', it is expected to be the top tentpole IP of the second half of the year. The meeting of Kim Ji-won, a self-proclaimed box office queen returning after two years, and Lee Jung-eun, an irreplaceable acting powerhouse who has dominated both screens and television sets, is generating high expectations.

In this context, a photoshoot from the October issue of Marie Claire featuring the unique chemistry between Kim Ji-won, who plays the genius surgeon 'Gye Soo-jung', and Lee Jung-eun, who plays 'Jang Hee-sook', director of a doctor recruitment agency in 'Doctor X', has been released. In the released photos, the two gaze steadily at the camera, exuding a cool and powerful aura.

Especially, the similar yet distinct atmospheres of the two blend seamlessly, creating an extraordinary chemistry that is felt simply by their presence in the same space, further raising expectations.

In the drama, Gye Soo-jung and Jang Hee-sook are special partners bound not only by a contractual relationship formed out of necessity but also by a bond deeper than family. While Gye Soo-jung is obsessed solely with surgery, Jang Hee-sook, a seasoned assistant who covers for her partner's vulnerabilities, is set to unleash a unique synergy that has never been seen before, ranging from perfect partnership to the lively, aunt-and-niece-like chemistry between them.

Alongside the photos, an interview released reveals that Kim Ji-won and Lee Jung-eun shared a variety of stories, including their special affection for each other and behind-the-scenes moments from the filming set.

Meanwhile, SBS's most anticipated drama of the second half of 2026, 'Doctor X: The Era of the White Mafia', will premiere on October 9 at 9:50 p.m.
