Kim Ji-won is trading her scalpel for a peace sign. The actress gave fans a peek at her playful off-duty side on October 10, posting two candid behind-the-scenes photos from the set of her new SBS drama.
According to a report by News1, Kim uploaded the photos to her personal social media account, catching followers off guard with a mood far removed from her intense on-screen role.
In the first photo, Kim sits in a car still wearing her white doctor’s coat, holding up a playful V sign in front of her face. A handwritten-style speech bubble on the image reads, “Heehee, going home,” adding to the cute, wrap-up-after-a-long-day vibe. The second shot shows her pouting her lips mid-shoot, a far cry from the steely focus her character demands.
The contrast is the point. On screen, Kim plays Kye Soo-jung, a genius surgeon who knows neither failure nor compromise, in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama “Doctor X: Era of the White Mafia.” The series premiered on October 9, and Kim has quickly settled into the title role.
Fans are already noting the gap between the fierce Dr. X and the actress who clearly can’t wait to get home after filming. With the drama just one episode in, more behind-the-scenes charm from Kim is likely on the way.
