Kim Ji Won Unveils Blood-Stained “Doctor X” Poster, Teasing a Fearless Dark Hero Surgeon Ahead of October Premiere

SBS just gave fans their first striking look at Kim Ji Won‘s next big role, and it’s unlike anything she’s played before. The newly released poster for Doctor X introduces her as Gye Soo Jung, a genius surgeon who fights corruption not with words, but with sheer surgical skill — and the image doesn’t shy away from showing exactly what that fight costs.

In the poster, Gye Soo Jung stares directly into the camera with a calm, unreadable expression, her gaze steady and unshaken. What grabs attention instantly, though, is her white doctor’s coat and hands, both stained with blood — a visual that instantly sets the tone for the medical noir drama ahead.

Based on the hit Japanese series of the same name, Doctor X follows Gye Soo Jung as she takes on the deeply corrupt Guseo University Hospital, standing alone against what the production team calls the hospital’s “white mafia.” According to the makers, this poster captures her commanding presence in the operating room, hinting at a doctor unlike any Korean audiences have seen before.
