With just two episodes remaining, the cast of SBS’ medical drama Doctor X: Mafia in White has shared their favorite moments from the series, with Kim Ji Won and Son Hyun Joo selecting a pivotal surgery scene from Episode 10.
The medical noir follows Gye Soo Jung (Kim Ji Won), a brilliant surgeon who challenges systemic corruption within the medical establishment.
Kim and Son both chose the scene in which eight medical professionals, from the hospital director to an intern, work together to save eight-year-old cancer patient Lee Hyun Ah (Lee Chae Yoo).
“Until that moment, Gye Soo Jung had always walked her own path alone. It was the first time she talked about being a team and joined forces with others to save a patient,” Kim said.
“What struck me was how people with different beliefs and values came together with the same goal when a life was at stake. It also showed how Gye Soo Jung had changed, which made the scene especially memorable to me.”
Son agreed, calling the operation the series’ standout moment because it brought the doctors together as one team to save Hyun Ah.
Lee Jung Eun, meanwhile, pointed to Soo Jung’s determination to save patients. “From Jang Hee Sook’s perspective, you might expect me to pick the scene where she demanded double the special allowance per surgery from hospital director Bu Seung Gwon,” Lee joked.
“But the real standout moments for me were all the times Soo Jung walked into the operating room determined to save a patient’s life, no matter how much pressure she was under. Her conviction and confidence left the strongest impression on me.”
Kim Woo Seok selected a confrontation in which his character, Park Tae Kyung, challenges Na Dae Il (Jang Seung Jo) after discovering that he had carved his initials into a patient’s organ.
“Are you even a doctor?” Tae Kyung demands, repeating the same question Soo Jung had asked him when they first met.
“I liked that he could express so many emotions in just those few words,” Kim Woo Seok explained.
Doctor X: Mafia in White will conclude its 12-episode run on SBS, with its final two episodes scheduled for November 13th and 14th.
