Kim Ji Won will likely be returning to the small screen as a genius doctor in the upcoming drama 'Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia' (literal title). On February 14, 2025, STARNEWS reported that the actress had been offered the lead role of Gye Soo Jung, a talented surgeon who isolates herself due to her dark past.
Kim Ji Won's agency, HighZium Studio, later responded to the report by stating, "Kim Ji Won is positively considering the offer to star in 'Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia'," as quoted by Soompi on Friday February 14, 2025. The drama is described as a medical noir that is different from most conventional medical dramas.
Instead of focusing solely on the medical world, the story also has a strong crime element. Gye Soo Jung, the character offered to Kim Ji Won, is not only a talented doctor but also someone who uses her skills to fight corruption and injustice. She lives in seclusion to hide a big secret from her past.
The popularity of medical-themed dramas has been increasing lately, especially with the success of series like 'The Trauma Code'. 'Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia' is expected to be an interesting addition to the genre, offering a more complex and suspenseful storyline. Filming for the drama is reportedly set to begin in the second half of this year and is planned to air on SBS.
Kim Ji Won herself is known as an actress who often takes on challenging and diverse roles. Previously, she captivated the audience in 'Descendants of the Sun' as a military doctor, then transformed into a tough but soft-hearted CEO in 'Queen of Tears'.
In addition, she also successfully portrayed the character of an ambitious announcer in 'Fight for My Way'. The role of Gye Soo Jung in 'Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia' seems to be an interesting new challenge for Kim Ji Won, considering that this character combines the medical side with a mystery-filled thriller element.
With her impressive track record and ability to portray various characters, fans are eagerly awaiting whether Kim Ji Won will accept this offer. If he confirms his role, this drama could be one of the most anticipated projects of the year. Stay tuned for more updates on the development of this project!
