Actress Lee Bo-young presented humanism to the home theater.
Lee Bo-young played the role of 'Woo So-jung,' an emergency medicine doctor at Bunsung General Hospital, in the MBC weekend drama 'Mary Kills People' (written by Lee Soo-ah, directed by Park Jun-woo), which aired on the 22nd and 23rd.
Urgently arrested as the perpetrator in the murder case of Lee Yoon-hee (played by Yang Jo-ah), Woo So-jung confronted the detectives with a piercing gaze despite intense questioning. Her unwavering voice, concealed anxiety and restlessness, conveyed Woo So-jung's steadfast belief. The autopsy results showed no detection of pentobarbital. Woo So-jung, who had been solid in front of the detectives, exhaled deeply and shed tears as her tension relaxed.
To decide to assist patients in their deaths, a series of events that occurred two years ago at Bunsung General Hospital were unveiled. In the past, Woo So-jung was deeply committed to her duty as a doctor and did her best to save patients. However, after witnessing Kwon Kyung-mi (played by Jung Kyung-soon) being arrested for murdering her terminally ill daughter and the plumber (played by Baek Seong-cheol) who chose death after suffering severe burns, cracks began to appear in her beliefs.
Meanwhile, as if to keep the promise made to Lee Yoon-hee, 'I will take good care of the child,' Woo So-jung brought her daughter Song-i to her home and cared for her attentively. Additionally, when Choi Ye-na (played by Yoon Ka-i) requested assistance in her twin brother's death, Woo So-jung shared her experiences as someone left behind and offered comforting words, leaving a deep impact and resonance in the home theater.
In this way, Lee Bo-young, as a doctor assisting incurable patients in their deaths, raises bold social questions in each episode. Furthermore, the character Woo So-jung, portrayed by Lee Bo-young, encompasses humanism, allowing viewers to feel a more diverse panorama of emotions. Lee Bo-young's detailed emotional shifts and expressive gaze enhance immersion in the work, raising anticipation for what comes next.
'Mary Kills People' airs every Friday and Saturday at 10 p.m.
