Kim Ji-won Waited 2 Years After Queen of Tears: Why Doctor X?

Kim Ji Won waited two years after Queen of Tears broke tvN's ratings record. Her comeback, Doctor X: Mafia in White, trades the glamour for a surgeon with a short bob. So why did she wait, and why this role? From Hong Hae-in, the chaebol heiress and CEO of Queens Department Store, back through Yoo Rachel in The Heirs, army doctor Yoon Myung-joo in Descendants of the Sun, Choi Ae-ra in Fight for My Way and Yeom Mi-jeong in My Liberation Notes: every time a role worked, the next one went in another direction. Then the return: Gye Su-jeong, a freelance surgeon who is paid per operation and leaves work at six. What she said about her two years away, the lower voice and the chin-length bob, and how Doctor X opened at 11.4 percent and went to number one on Netflix's global chart for non-English TV.
