Actor Choi Kwang-il will appear in the drama 'Doctor X: The Era of White Mafia'.

According to his agency Ba-eul-eul-pum-da on the 23rd, Choi Kwang-il has been cast in SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor X: The Era of White Mafia' (script by Pyeon Seong-geun, directed by Lee Jeong-rim, hereinafter 'Doctor X').

'Doctor X' is a medical noir drama depicting the activities of Gu Seo-jeong (played by Kim Ji-won), a genius surgeon who knows neither failure nor compromise and shatters massive injustices.

In the drama, Choi Kwang-il will play Gu Bon-pyeong, a Lee (President) at Guseo University Hospital. Gu Bon-pyeong lives intoxicated by the power he enjoys as a doctor rather than prioritizing patients' lives; he is a figure wielding immense influence at the peak of the White Mafia, a massive cartel that has taken over the hospital.

Choi Kwang-il is expected to firmly shoulder one pillar of the drama by portraying Gu Bon-pyeong's authoritarian side based on his unique charisma and sharp gaze. In particular, the tense confrontation and acting synergy between Choi Kwang-il and Kim Ji-won are set to become another key viewing point of the work.

Choi Kwang-il has captivated audiences with his outstanding acting skills that traverse good and evil in various works including dramas 'Law Firm God', 'Treasure Island', 'The Phone You Are Calling Now', 'The Glory', and 'Reincarnation: Light and Shadow'. Choi Kwang-il is also well known as the younger brother of actor Choi Min-sik. Given his high character synchronization rate in every work, he is expected to demonstrate a substantial presence in 'Doctor X' as well.

'Doctor X', consisting of 12 episodes in total, will premiere on October 9 at 9:50 p.m.
