The show follows the story of Kim Ji-won, an exceptional surgeon with a knack for defying hospital politics. Her colleagues have dubbed her \"crazy Gye\" for her unyielding determination and surgical prowess. Kim Ji-won's previous roles in Descendants of the Sun, Fight for My Way, Lovestruck in the City, My Liberation Notes, and My Tears are testament to her talent and magnetic screen presence.\n\nDoctor X is based on a popular Japanese series, which has already proven its worth in the medical noir genre. The network is making its first foray into this territory, but SBS's track record speaks for itself. Shows like Taxi Driver, The Fiery Priest, and Agent Kim Reactivated have all had their moments, and Doctor X promises to deliver on that promise with its central character at the helm.\n\nThe drama also boasts a strong supporting cast.
