Actor Son Hyun-joo shone with a commanding presence in SBS's Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X," anchoring the gravity of the story as a hospital director defined by principle and a strong sense of responsibility.
In "Doctor X," Son Hyun-joo, who plays Boo Seung-gwon, the director of Guseo University Hospital, took action in the final episode aired on the 14th to investigate the truth behind suspicions of a medical malpractice incident that arose following an organ transplant surgery and to manage the aftermath at the hospital.
When a patient expressed extreme pain due to issues with consciousness during the surgery, Boo Seung-gwon inquired about the circumstances from the attending medical staff. As the person responsible for running the hospital, he examined the suspicions of medical malpractice and moved to resolve the situation.

He also continued his efforts to minimize the gap in medical services amid the crisis of the hospital's closure. He proposed a formal position as a physician to Gye Su-jung (played by Kim Ji-won) and expressed his commitment to ensuring she could work at the main hospital even if the current facility were to close.

In "Doctor X," Son Hyun-joo fully brought the character of Boo Seung-gwon to life through his signature restrained acting and stable chemistry with other actors. From his resolute attitude toward medical staff to his realistic side as he contemplates the future of the hospital, he delicately portrayed the character's shifting emotions depending on the situation, adding persuasiveness to the role.
Rather than exaggerating his emotions, Son Hyun-joo revealed Boo Seung-gwon's complex inner world through subtle changes in his gaze, tone of voice, and facial expressions, proving the acting depth befitting a veteran actor.
