Actress Kim Ji-won once again captivated viewers with her flawless acting skills.

In SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X: The Age of the White Mafia," Kim transformed into "Gye Su-jung," a genius surgeon who knows neither failure nor compromise, leaving a powerful impression from the very first episode. A charismatic heroine of supreme ability has been born.

The day's broadcast depicted Gye Su-jung standing against the corrupt leadership and irrational system of Gu Seo University Hospital. From her first day at the hospital, Gye defied Kim Myeong-seop (played by Kim Jong-gu), who advocated for a surgical method unsuitable for the patient, and also delivered sharp criticism to doctors who sided with those seeking advancement, clearly stating her own convictions.

Even in a critical situation where Kim Myeong-seop suddenly collapsed during surgery, leaving the patient in an open-abdomen state, Gye remained unshaken, completing the procedure with swift judgment and precise hand movements, showcasing the qualities of a genius surgeon.

Gye pushed VIP Chairman Park Gwang-cheol (played by Kim Gi-cheon), who took special privileges and treatment as a matter of course, out of his wheelchair to place Ju-hee (played by Yuna), the patient she had carried in herself, into it. She also successfully performed difficult surgeries one after another, revealing without reservation her principles of putting patients first and her self-confidence.

Kim Ji-won earned praise for expressing Gye Su-jung's temperament through restrained acting. With a low, firm voice and cold, sharp gaze, she gave weight to the character, while in surgical scenes, she brought to life swift judgment and concentration through subtle facial expressions and fingertip movements, captivating viewers with her perfect performance.

She naturally portrayed a carefree and straightforward character, distinct from the glamorous and refined image of her previous work "Queen of Tears," delivering a different kind of acting that heightened anticipation for "Doctor X." SBS's Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X: The Age of the White Mafia" airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
