Summer of 2026 was pretty meh for me in terms of K-dramas but fall is here and there a a few I’m curious to check out. One of them arrives this week with SBS premiering medical series Doctor X: Mafia in White in the Fri-Sat time slot. This is basically a Kim Ji Won drama with her playing the role of a brilliant rule breaking surgeon who saves lives in difficult cases and also goes up against hospital corruption. This is her first drama in two years since hit drama Queen of Tears in 2024 which for some viewers may not be a drama one wants to rewatch anymore due to her male lead. But this drama she gets to break out of the rich bitch role and go for the outsider upends the hierarchy set up.
