Episode 11 of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X: Mafia in White", airing on November 13, is expected to bring the drama's tension to a peak as the hidden reality of Kim Seung-hyo (Jeon Kook-hwan), who has been revered as a "great benevolent healer" and a "god of medicine," is gradually unveiled.

In the previously aired Episode 10, Kim Seung-hyo visited Guseo University Hospital for a heart transplant and sparked curiosity by designating Jo Won-jin (Lee Jin-hee) as his guardian and Gye Soo-jung (Kim Ji-won) as his lead surgeon. In particular, viewers were shocked by scenes of Park Tae-kyung (Kim Woo-seok) attempting to suffocate the sleeping Kim Seung-hyo with a pillow, while Jo Won-jin stood by passively and Gye Soo-jung frantically tried to stop him. Subsequently, the ending left a powerful impression when Kim Seung-hyo opened his eyes and greeted Gye Soo-jung by saying, "It's been a long time, Doctor X."

Amid this, the preview clip released for Episode 11 has captured keen interest from viewers by teasing the tangled past and impending catastrophe surrounding them. Park Tae-kyung delivers a chilling greeting to Kim Seung-hyo, saying, "It's been a long time, sir," while Jo Won-jin's line, "I just watched, but Dr. Gye saved that person again," fuels curiosity about why she stood by and watched as Park Tae-kyung tried to suffocate Kim Seung-hyo. On top of that, the shocking line "Dad is a monster" was added, intensifying questions surrounding Kim Seung-hyo's true nature.

Above all, the end of the preview left a profound impact with Park Tae-kyung pleading to Gye Soo-jung with tearful eyes, "Can't you just fail this once?" Heightening anticipation for the broadcast is the burning question of why Park Tae-kyung, who understands Gye Soo-jung's convictions better than anyone, would beg so desperately for her to fail.

Meanwhile, Episode 11 of "Doctor X: Mafia in White"—which continues its box-office success after surpassing a peak viewership rating of 20.2% (according to Nielsen Korea) and ranking 4th among Netflix's global non-English TV shows—airs on November 13 at 9:50 PM.
