In the SBS drama "Doctor X: The Age of the White Mafia," actor Jang Seung-jo revealed his chilling true nature as a villain disguised as a kind doctor.
In Episode 4 of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X: The Age of the White Mafia," which aired on the 17th, Gye Su-jung (played by Kim Ji-won) was shown uncovering the secrets of newly appointed surgery professor Na Dae-il (played by Jang Seung-jo).
In the broadcast, pharmaceutical company employee Kwon Chung-hyun collapsed on the street due to sudden abdominal pain. Gye Su-jung, who had been waiting in line in front of a restaurant, found him and took him to the hospital.
Kim Sung-jin (played by Heo Jun-seok), who examined Kwon Chung-hyun's condition, diagnosed cholecystitis and recommended prompt surgery. He said, "You can't keep putting off your own illness just because you come and go from the hospital so often."
Na Dae-il also rushed to the hospital upon hearing that Kwon Chung-hyun had arrived at the emergency room. The two had a connection dating back to their time in the military.
It was revealed that during his military service, Kwon Chung-hyun suffered internal bleeding due to hazing by senior soldiers, and Na Dae-il personally performed surgery on him at the time, saving his life. Accordingly, Kwon Chung-hyun asked Na Dae-il for surgery, and Na Dae-il agreed to perform it a week later.
However, after reviewing the CT (computed tomography) images, Gye Su-jung determined that Kwon Chung-hyun would not survive until the scheduled surgery date.
Gye Su-jung asked Na Dae-il, "If he can't hold on until Sunday, will you be the one to operate?" Na Dae-il replied casually, "I'll do it if my schedule allows. If not, another doctor will."
When Gye Su-jung then asked if he had checked the CT images, Na Dae-il claimed, "It's probably adhesions formed from scars left by a surgery 15 years ago. It won't be a tumor or anything like that."
Gye Su-jung did not drop her suspicion, saying, "You only know once you open it up."
Na Dae-il had usually shown affection toward Gye Su-jung, expressing his fondness. He would visit the emergency room with bread and drinks tailored to her tastes, and even expressed interest after watching her surgery video, saying, "You really looked like a god. Or maybe a monster?"
However, Gye Su-jung did not trust Na Dae-il's judgment. She stayed at work until Friday evening to monitor Kwon Chung-hyun's condition, and ultimately, when the patient was brought in in a critical state, she personally took on the surgery.
At the time, Na Dae-il was attending a Magnolia Society gathering outside the hospital. He showed signs of anxiety upon receiving word that Gye Su-jung would be performing Kwon Chung-hyun's surgery. In particular, when he heard that severe adhesions required an open abdominal surgery, he immediately left his seat and headed to the hospital.
There was a separate reason why Na Dae-il had tried so hard to prevent the surgery. While operating on Kwon Chung-hyun, Gye Su-jung discovered the letters "ND" engraved on an organ. This was a mark left by Na Dae-il, who had operated on Kwon Chung-hyun 15 years ago, engraving his own name.
It was revealed that Na Dae-il had been delaying Kwon Chung-hyun's surgery to prevent his past actions from being exposed. By the time Na Dae-il arrived at the operating room, he realized that Gye Su-jung had already uncovered his secret.
As the chilling side of Na Dae-il, who had acted like a kind doctor, was revealed, attention is turning to how Gye Su-jung will expose his secrets in the future.
