Actor Kim Woo-seok will transform into a sunshine intern at Guseo University Hospital whose life is completely turned upside down after meeting Kim Ji-won in the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor X'.

The new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor X' (produced by Studio S, Studio Dragon, and HighZium Studio; hereinafter 'Doctor X'), scheduled to air its first episode on October 9 (Fri), is a refreshing medical noir depicting the activities of 'Kye Su-jeong' (played by Kim Ji-won), the 'mad genius of the operating room' who breaks down massive corruption with genius surgical skills that know neither failure nor compromise. It is drawing anticipation as the first medical genre entry in the 'SBS Refreshing Universe', which continues a unique streak of hits with 'Agent Kim Reactivated', 'Taxi Driver', 'The Fiery Priest', and 'The Judge from Hell'. Additionally, it is garnering intense interest as director Lee Jung-rim, who directed dramas 'VIP', 'Revenant', and 'As You Stood By', joins forces with the industry-watched writer Pyeon Seong-geun, along with a powerful lead cast including Kim Ji-won (as Kye Su-jeong), Lee Jung-eun (as Jang Hee-sook), Son Hyun-joo (as Bu Seung-kwon), and Kim Woo-seok (as Park Tae-kyung).

In the midst of this, 'Doctor X' is drawing attention by releasing the first stills of Guseo University Hospital's official 'sunshine character' Kim Woo-seok. In the drama, Park Tae-kyung, played by Kim Woo-seok, is a new intern doctor at Guseo University Hospital who is kind and full of motivation but possesses a clumsy charm in everything he does. After meeting the 'dark hero genius doctor' Kye Su-jeong (played by Kim Ji-won), who ignores power struggles and strict rules and is only obsessed with surgery, his once peaceful daily life begins to become much more dynamic.

The released stills capture various aspects of Kim Woo-seok as he takes his first steps into a grueling intern life. His eyes, which look clumsy yet sparkle with pure passion, stand in stark contrast to Guseo University Hospital, a cold den of white mafias. It stimulates curiosity as to whether Park Tae-kyung, who does not lose his own warmth amidst the brutal power struggles, can survive in this heterogeneous space until the end.

Along with this, the interest is heightened by the extreme two-shot with Kim Ji-won. Unlike Kim Woo-seok, who cannot take his eyes off Kim Ji-won as if he wants to learn even one more thing, Kim Ji-won is solely focused on her work without even glancing his way. The extreme temperature difference between Kim Ji-won, who has no interest in anything other than surgery, and Kim Woo-seok, who is filled with bright passion, raises expectations for what unpredictable changes they will bring to each other.

The 'Doctor X' production team stated, "Kim Woo-seok completed the 'sunshine character' Park Tae-kyung with his characteristic clear and good energy. Please watch for Kim Woo-seok's activities as he breaks through head-on with his own warmth in the cold world of white mafias." They continued, "In particular, the special mentor-mentee chemistry shown by the cold mentor Kim Ji-won and the bright trainee Kim Woo-seok is also an unmissable viewing point. Please check through the broadcast to see what kind of variable Kim Woo-seok's clumsy but sincere presence will act as for Kim Ji-won," which vertically increases the anticipation for the upcoming broadcast of 'Doctor X'.

Meanwhile, SBS's highly anticipated production for the second half of 2026, the new Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor X', will air its first episode on October 9 (Fri) at 9:50 PM.
