Based on the hit Japanese series of the same name, “Doctor X” follows Gye Soo Jung, a genius freelance surgeon who cuts through a corrupt hospital system using nothing but raw skill. The teaser opens with her calmly declaring “I will perform the surgery” before stepping into the operating room, immediately setting the tone for a character who answers to no one. Her boss at the medical staffing agency, played by Lee Jung Eun, introduces her as the agency’s top ace, while Gye Soo Jung herself delivers a chillingly confident line to a patient: “Decide. Do you want to die in a month or in 100 years?”
An awestruck intern, played by Kim Woo Seok, sums up the reaction best, calling her “like a god. Or perhaps a monster.” Meanwhile, a scheming hospital director and a sharp-eyed agency head hint at the power struggles simmering beneath the surface, setting up plenty of conflict for the season ahead.
