Actor Son Hyun-joo captivated viewers in "Doctor X" by making resolute decisions to protect patients' lives.

In Episodes 9 and 10 of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X," which aired on November 6 and 7, Son played Bu Seung-gwon, the director of Guseo University Hospital, delicately portraying the character's transformation as he regains his conviction as a physician.

In the series, Bu Seung-gwon faced a crisis in which hospital operations were on the verge of paralysis due to a medical staffing gap, while harboring doubts about the identity of Gye Su-jeong (played by Kim Ji-won) and revealing complex emotions. In particular, even after confirming that Gye Su-jeong was "Doctor X," he maintained a cool-headed assessment of her medical practices without easily revealing his true feelings, adding weight to the drama's narrative flow.

However, Bu Seung-gwon's attitude began to shift following the surgery of young patient Lee Hyun-a, who stood at the crossroads of life and death. At a venue where a vote on the medical staffing gap was underway, he pointed out the reality of participating in the vote while turning a blind eye to patients' lives, questioning where a doctor should be at that moment. He then left the voting hall and headed directly to the operating room, assisting Gye Su-jeong and the medical staff, demonstrating his responsibility as hospital director through action.

When Chairman of the Board Gu Bon-pyung (played by Choi Gwang-il) ordered the surgery to be halted during the procedure, Bu Seung-gwon clearly stated that he would see the operation through to the end using his authority as director. Son conveyed Bu Seung-gwon's resolute will with a firm gaze that did not yield before power and powerful line delivery, enhancing the drama's immersion.

Ultimately, Bu Seung-gwon was stripped of his position due to his involvement in the surgery. Nevertheless, his calm acceptance of his choice contrasted with his earlier cautious movements amid hospital power dynamics and vested interests, leaving a deep impression.

In this way, Son convincingly completed the narrative of Bu Seung-gwon's transformation from a hospital director with cool-headed judgment to a physician who risks his position for patients' lives. With restrained emotional expression and stable acting depth, he meticulously built up the character's inner world, firmly anchoring the center of the drama.

Meanwhile, the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X," in which Son appears, airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
