As of February 15, the talented actress Kim Ji Won, known to fans as the 'Queen of Tears,' is ready to captivate viewers once again—but this time in a completely different role. The actress has been cast as the lead in 'Doctor X: The Era of the White Mafia,' a gripping new medical noir drama set to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
According to an exclusive report by Star News on February 14, Kim Ji Won will portray Gye Su Jeong, a brilliant yet mysterious surgeon with a complicated and tragic past. Fans who fell in love with her portrayal of Hong Hae In in 'Queen of Tears' last year can expect an entirely new side of the actress, as she dives into a darker, more intense character.
Set against a backdrop of corruption and injustice, 'Doctor X' is not your typical medical drama. In this high-stakes narrative, Gye Su Jeong uses her exceptional surgical skills to challenge a broken system, offering a blend of tension, drama, and cathartic moments for viewers. With its dark, noir elements, this series promises to deliver plenty of thrills, while also showcasing Kim Ji Won’s undeniable talent.
The drama, which is expected to begin filming in the second half of this year, is currently in discussions with SBS for its broadcast. If it’s anything like Kim Ji Won’s previous roles, fans can expect another memorable performance from one of Korea’s most beloved stars.
