Kim Ji-won's 'Doctor X' character plans unprecedented six-organ surgery in episode 9
SBS drama 'Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia' releases stills of Kim Ji-won ahead of episode 9, where her character proposes removing six organs from an 8-year-old patient.
The producers of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia' released stills of Kim Ji-won's character ahead of episode 9, which airs on the 6th, according to joynews24.com. The images preview a major medical decision for Kim's character, doctor Kye Su-jeong.
In episode 9, Kye Su-jeong declares she will perform a surgery never seen before. The patient is an 8-year-old pediatric cancer patient named Lee Hyun-a, played by Lee Chae-yu.
Kye Su-jeong proposes removing all six organs from the body, resecting the tumor, and reimplanting them — a procedure she has never performed herself.
Hospital director Bu Seung-kwon, played by Son Hyun-joo, strongly opposes the surgery, citing procedural justification and risk.
In a previously released trailer, Kye Su-jeong was shown bowing deeply and saying "I ask of you" to the doctors of Guseo University Hospital. The drama is produced by Studio S, Studio Dragon and Hijium Studio.
