Behind-the-scenes photos of Kim Ji-won, who stars as the uncompromising genius surgeon Kye Soo-jung in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X: Mafia in White" (written by Pyeon Seong-geun, directed by Lee Jung-rim / hereinafter "Doctor X: Mafia in White"), were released on October 22.
In the released photos, Kim Ji-won displays a perfect "on and off" mode. Off camera, she serves as the set's mood maker by flashing V-signs and offering bright smiles, but the moment filming starts, she instantly immerses herself as the serious and cool-headed Kye Soo-jung, giving off an unmatched aura.
This contrasting appeal also stands out in the character of Kye Soo-jung. While she possesses unwavering conviction and sharp intuition in any situation, she also has a quirky and cute side that becomes completely weak in front of delicious food. Kim Ji-won adds depth to the drama by delicately portraying Kye Soo-jung's cold exterior alongside her warm, human interior with nuanced acting.
Kim Ji-won previously stated, "The contrast between how Kye Soo-jung looks on the outside and what you discover anew the more you look into her was charming." Viewers continue to praise Kim Ji-won's detailed, passionate performance that brings out the character's charm.
Meanwhile, "Doctor X: Mafia in White," which highlights Kim Ji-won's diverse charms, airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM.
