SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor X' has raised anticipation for its first broadcast by releasing a 4-minute highlight video.

Scheduled to premiere on October 9 (Friday), the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor X' (produced by Studio S, Studio Dragon, and HighZium Studio / hereinafter 'Doctor X') is a refreshing medical noir depicting the activities of 'the crazy Gye' in the operating room, Dr. Gye Su-jeong (played by Kim Ji-won), who breaks down massive corruption with genius surgical skills that know neither failure nor compromise. It is gathering expectations as SBS's top tentpole IP for the second half of the year, continuing the unique success lineage of 'Agent Kim Reactivated', 'Taxi Driver', 'The Fiery Priest', and 'The Judge from Hell'. Furthermore, it is receiving intense daily interest as director Lee Jeong-rim, who directed the dramas 'VIP', 'Revenant', and 'As You Stood By', joins forces with a powerful lineup of trusted actors including Kim Ji-won (as Gye Su-jeong), Lee Jung-eun (as Jang Hui-suk), Son Hyun-joo (as Bu Seung-gwon), and Kim Woo-seok (as Park Tae-gyeong).

In this regard, ahead of the first broadcast, the 'Doctor X' team released a highlight video of approximately 4 minutes (https://youtu.be/PrBZgUYq-iU?si=hT2hTbn4J1FG924T) on Wednesday the 7th, triggering an explosive response. The unpredictable events unfolding within the fast-paced development further heighten expectations for the main broadcast.

The released highlight video captures attention from the start with the extraordinary appearance of Gye Su-jeong (played by Kim Ji-won), a mercenary doctor dispatched to Guseo University Hospital. As the top ace of the 'doctor service agency' operated by Jang Hui-suk (played by Lee Jung-eun), Gye Su-jeong shuts down the doctors' words by firmly drawing a line, stating "I absolutely do not do any of those" after listing tasks such as participating in director rounds, professor rounds, dinners, or ghostwriting professors' papers. Not stopping there, she raises objections without hesitation in a large auditorium filled with doctors, and causes immediate chaos at Guseo University Hospital through unconventional actions, such as pushing a patient out of a wheelchair and speeding away with a sick patient while receiving excessive security.

Following this, scenes that suggest Gye Su-jeong's god-tier surgical skills capture the eye. Seeing Gye Su-jeong attempting to leave during surgery, intern Park Tae-gyeong (played by Kim Woo-seok) misunderstands that she is abandoning the patient to pursue promotion and profit. However, everyone is shocked when it is soon revealed that Gye Su-jeong had already perfectly completed the surgery. While doctors protest her unusual behavior, Gye Su-jeong ignores them and surprises everyone with her overwhelming skill. It stimulates curiosity about what kind of activities Gye Su-jeong, called 'the crazy Gye in the operating room', will perform inside the operating room.

Meanwhile, the special appearance of actor Jang Seung-jo also draws attention. Jang Seung-jo plays Na Dae-il, a doctor who newly joins Guseo University Hospital. Upon his appearance, Hospital Director Bu Seung-gwon (played by Son Hyun-joo) puts a brake on her, saying "The contract is on hold," and instead assigns her to be in charge of the emergency room, foreshadowing new conflicts. Interest is also focused on the relationship between Na Dae-il and Gye Su-jeong.

Additionally, the mysterious past surrounding Gye Su-jeong catches the eye. Along with Bu Seung-gwon's question, "Are you saying Dr. Gye Su-jeong is Doctor X?", the attention is concentrated as scenes of a tense war zone and her performing precarious medical surgeries in the past are intercut. Subsequently, the shocking fact that the patient Gye Su-jeong operated on died 2 months later is revealed, amplifying questions surrounding her past. Here, along with the phrase 'the most dangerous doctor', Jang Hui-suk's meaningful smile is added, maximizing curiosity about their hidden narratives.

At the end of the video, contrary to Bu Seung-gwon's words, "You can't not fail forever," Gye Su-jeong's determined voice, "Don't worry. I never fail," marks the ending, greatly raising expectations for the main broadcast.

Immediately after the release of the highlight video, the anticipation of prospective viewers is exploding. Comments such as "The speed of the story development is crazy. I want to see it soon," "I trust any drama starring Kim Ji-won," "Every single line is so refreshing. Dopamine is already exploding," "This is crazy, seriously. I can't even imagine how well Doctor X will do," "Even with a special appearance, it's a gathering of top-tier actors. This is an acting powerhouse," and "What is Gye Su-jeong holding a gun for? The past narrative looks interesting" are pouring in from various online communities and SNS, proving the hot buzz surrounding 'Doctor X'.

SBS's ambitious new Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor X', from the master of the refreshing genre, will premiere on October 9 (Friday) at 9:50 PM.
