The first teaser for the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor X' (produced by Studio S, Studio Dragon, and HighZium Studio / hereinafter 'Doctor X') has been officially released.

Scheduled to premiere on October 9 (Fri), 'Doctor X' is a refreshing medical noir depicting the activities of 'Kye Su-jeong', the 'madhouse resident of the operating room' who breaks down massive corruption with genius surgical skills that know neither failure nor compromise. It is garnering anticipation as the first medical genre entry in the 'SBS Cider Universe', which has maintained a unique streak of hits with 'Agent Kim Reactivated', 'Taxi Driver', 'The Fiery Priest', and 'The Judge from Hell'. Furthermore, it is drawing intense interest as director Lee Jung-rim, who directed dramas like 'VIP', 'Revenant', and 'As You Stood By', joins forces with writer Pyeon Seong-geun, who is drawing industry attention, and is joined by a powerful lead cast of trusted actors 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' caught attention by releasing its 1st teaser (https://youtu.be/F_3lOhVjsfI?si=1izR8gbXCQL_p0eI) on the 7th (Mon). The released video immediately captures attention by opening with the appearance of 'dark hero genius doctor' Kye Su-jeong, who wears a surgical mask and declares in a firm voice, "I will perform the surgery," before proceeding with the operation.

Following this, Kye Su-jeong, wearing a jet-black leather coat, leaves a powerful afterimage as she walks unhesitatingly through a crowd of doctors wearing white gowns. Maintaining a cold and indifferent expression regardless of the doctors' gazes, Kye Su-jeong's unique presence overwhelms the atmosphere, showcasing the aura of a 'dark hero genius doctor' who will instantly break existing frameworks and hierarchies to dominate everything with skill alone.

Next, following the confident introduction from Jang Hee-sook, the director of the doctor labor agency, "She is our agency's top ace. Surgeon Kye Su-jeong," the unpredictable nature of Kye Su-jeong continues. Kye Su-jeong's confident attitude, as she asks a patient with certainty, "Decide. Do you want to die in a month, or in 100 years?", provides catharsis by fully showing the side of a genius doctor who must save the patient in any desperate situation.

Additionally, the line from Park Tae-kyung, who witnessed Kye Su-jeong's god-like surgery and mutters as if possessed, "She was like a god. Or a monster," stimulates curiosity about the incomparable surgical skills Kye Su-jeong will demonstrate. Furthermore, the dramatic tension is raised to its peak as the heavy and charismatic gaze of Bu Seung-kwon, the hospital director who will manipulate the hospital's landscape, and the presence of the clever schemer Jang Hee-sook, who watches the board sharply with meaningful eyes, are successively intercut.

In the latter half of the video, Kye Su-jeong's final line, muttering low with a voice that does not hesitate for a moment, "I do not even fail," creates a thrill and announces the intense prelude to the refreshing medical noir that 'Doctor X' will present.

Meanwhile, SBS's most anticipated work for the second half of 2026, the master of the 'cider' genre, the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor X' is scheduled to premiere on October 9 (Fri) at 9:50 PM.
