Kim Ji-won의 의사 캐릭터
South Korean actress Kim Ji-won is making her long-awaited return to television with a completely different character following the huge success of Queen of Tears.
Nearly two years after starring as Hong Hae-in in the hit 2024 drama, Kim Ji-won will take on the role of a brilliant and unconventional surgeon in SBS’s upcoming Friday-Saturday series Doctor X: The Era of the White Mafia.
SBS released the second teaser for the highly anticipated medical noir drama on September 16, offering viewers their first extended look at Kim Ji-won’s new character.

In Doctor X, Kim Ji-won plays Gye Soo-jung, a surgical genius known for her extraordinary skills and uncompromising personality.
Unlike Hong Hae-in, the wealthy heiress she portrayed in Queen of Tears, Gye Soo-jung is a mysterious doctor who is almost impossible to read.
The character refuses to compromise when it comes to surgery and becomes involved in conflicts surrounding corruption and injustice within the medical industry.
The newly released teaser begins with Gye Soo-jung reciting the physician’s oath. While other medical graduates are gathered together in a large auditorium, she stands alone in her graduation cap and gown as she makes her solemn pledge.
The mood quickly changes as the teaser shows her performing intense surgeries with remarkable confidence. The footage also hints at the dangers surrounding her, including a scene in which she appears to be strangled.
A line describing her as “the most dangerous doctor” further raises questions about her mysterious personality and past.

Toward the end of the teaser, Boo Seung-kwon asks, “Is Gye Soo-jung Doctor X?”
Gye Soo-jung responds only with an unreadable expression and a slight tilt of her head, leaving viewers wondering about her true identity and the relationship between the two characters.
