In 'Doctor X: The Era of White Mafia,' actress Kim Ji-won promises a powerful transformation into a 'medical dark hero.'

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') is a sharp medical noir that follows the exploits of Dr. X 'Gye Soo-jeong,' known as 'The Mad Surgeon of the Operating Room,' who shatters massive injustices with her genius-level surgical skills—never accepting failure or compromise. As the first medical genre entry in SBS's 'SBS Sharp Universe,' which has built an unrivaled box office legacy through titles such as 'Department Manager Kim,' 'Taxi Driver,' 'The Priest,' and 'Judge from Hell,' the series is generating high expectations.

Adding to this, acclaimed director Lee Jeong-rim, known for directing dramas like 'VIP,' 'The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion,' and 'You Killed Me,' joins forces with a powerhouse cast including Kim Ji-won (as Gye Soo-jeong), Lee Jung-eun (as Jang Hee-sook), Son Hyun-joo (as Bu Seung-gwon), and Kim Woo-seok (as Park Tae-kyung), drawing intense attention.

In particular, Kim Ji-won's most striking transformation in her filmography is expected to further spark interest. In the drama, she portrays Gye Soo-jeong, a 'dark hero genius doctor' obsessed solely with surgery. With surgical skills that have reached divine levels, she will target the 'White Mafia' of Gu Seo University Hospital, who chase power and profit.

Among these developments, the 'Doctor X' team released the main poster for the 'Doctor' version on the 18th, featuring Gye Soo-jeong in a blood-stained doctor's coat. In the poster, Gye Soo-jeong bears visible traces of surgery across her body. The stark contrast between her pristine white coat and the bloodstains is striking, while her emotionless expression, utterly unshaken, instantly commands the atmosphere. Her unwavering gaze conveys an absolute certainty that no surgery will ever fail, while simultaneously radiating an obsessive determination solely toward surgery. It raises intense curiosity about how Gye Soo-jeong's performance will unfold as she swallows the 'White Mafia' who have taken over Gu Seo University Hospital with nothing but her skill alone.

The 'Doctor X' production team stated, "This main poster for the 'Doctor' version captures the presence of Gye Soo-jeong, the 'dark hero genius doctor,' who instantly dominates the operating room space. With her overwhelming surgical skills, she will stand up against the power of Gu Seo University's 'White Mafia.' Please watch as she shows what kind of path she will take in 'Doctor X' and witness the birth of a doctor who compromises with no framework whatsoever."

The first episode of 'Doctor X' will air on October 9 at 9:50 p.m.
