Actress Kim Ji-won expressed confidence in her on-screen chemistry with Lee Jung-eun.

On the afternoon of the 7th, a production press conference for SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X: The Age of the White Mafia" (hereinafter referred to as "Doctor X") was held at SBS in Mokdong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul. Director Lee Jung-rim and actors Kim Ji-won, Lee Jung-eun, Son Hyun-joo, and Kim Woo-seok attended the event.

"Doctor X" is a drama depicting the activities of "Doctor X" Gye Su-jeong, who shatters massive injustices with her genius surgical skills that know no failure or compromise. The series is based on the Japanese drama "Doctor X," which aired on TV Asahi.

In the drama, Kim Ji-won plays Gye Su-jeong, known as the "Madwoman of the Operating Room." She portrays a character who shakes up the status quo solely through her exceptional surgical skills while confronting the so-called "White Mafia" that pursues power and profit within Gu Seo University Hospital. Lee Jung-eun takes on the role of Jang Hee-sook, the director of a medical staffing agency that chases after money.

On this day, Lee Jung-eun stated, "I had been continuously looking for an opportunity to work with Kim Ji-won." She added, "Surrounding writers and directors praised her so much that I thought, 'If the chance arises, could I meet her?' With this project, it felt like we could create great scenes. We have moments where we made history together. My satisfaction level is high," expressing her satisfaction with the women's chemistry with Kim Ji-won.

In response, Kim Ji-won also said, "It was truly wonderful. As everyone knows, (Lee Jung-eun) is incredibly lovable. Watching that from the side was one of the sources of happiness I found on set, and it was a time when I could satisfy my personal desires and learn as an actress. It was chemistry where we caught both rabbits: happiness and learning."

She then joked, "We are aiming for the Best Couple Award."

Meanwhile, "Doctor X" will air its first episode at 9:50 p.m. on the 9th.
