Kim Ji Won may soon be trading glamorous chaebol life for scrubs and a scalpel! The Queen of Tears star is reportedly in discussions to lead the upcoming medical noir K-drama Doctor X (working title), and fans are already buzzing with excitement!

From a Military Doctor to a Genius Surgeon?

If Kim Ji Won confirms her role, this will mark her return to the medical drama genre after nearly a decade—her last being Descendants of the Sun (2016), where she played a military doctor alongside Song Hye Kyo. This time, she’s set to take on Ko Soo Jung, a brilliant yet mysterious surgeon with a dark past who uses her extraordinary skills to bring down corruption in the medical world. Sounds intense, right? 😍

A Powerful Production Team Behind the Scenes 🎬

🔥 Director Lee Jung Rim (Revenant, V.I.P.) will helm the series, promising thrills, suspense, and high-stakes drama.
🔥 The drama will be produced by Studio Dragon and Studio S, known for delivering top-tier K-dramas.
🔥 Doctor X is set to premiere on SBS and will begin filming in the second half of 2025.

What’s Next for Kim Ji Won?

👑 Following the massive success of Queen of Tears, where she wowed audiences with Kim Soo Hyun, Park Sung Hoon, Kwak Dong Yeon, and Lee Joo Bin, this could be her next big move!

👩‍⚕️ Fans are eager to see Kim Ji Won step back into the doctor role, but this time with a darker, edgier twist.
