The upcoming MBC drama “Mary Kills People” has released new stills showing a gripping face-off between Lee Bo Young and Lee Min Ki. The photos highlight the intense emotional conflict between their characters, raising excitement for the series.
The drama is a remake of the Canadian show of the same name. It follows Woo So Jung (Lee Bo Young), an emergency room doctor who secretly helps terminally ill patients with euthanasia. Lee Min Ki plays Jo Hyun Woo, a patient with a terminal brain tumor who seeks her help.
Lee Bo Young And Lee Min Kiโs Emotional Face-Off
The new stills capture a tense moment between the two leads. Lee Bo Youngโs character, Woo So Jung, tries to hide her shock while maintaining a calm expression. Meanwhile, Lee Min Kiโs Jo Hyun Woo stares at her with a sharp, questioning gaze.
The production team said:
“This scene shows the different emotions of the two characters. Their powerful acting brings depth to the story. Viewers will feel the tension through their eyes.”
The contrast between Lee Bo Youngโs troubled expression and Lee Min Kiโs intense stare hints at the complex relationship between a doctor who helps with death and a patient who chooses it.
A Story About Life, Death, And Difficult Choices
“Mary Kills People” explores the controversial topic of euthanasia. Lee Bo Youngโs character, Woo So Jung, works as an ER doctor by day but secretly assists in ending the lives of terminally ill patients at night.
Lee Min Kiโs Jo Hyun Woo is a cancer patient with no hope of recovery. He turns to Woo So Jung for help, leading to a clash of emotions and beliefs.
The drama also stars Kang Ki Young as Choi Dae Hyun, a former plastic surgeon who lost his medical license. He supports Woo So Jung in her secret work.
Behind The Scenes Chemistry
Lee Bo Young and Lee Min Ki worked together for the first time, and their chemistry impressed the crew.
“Our acting chemistry was really great,” Lee Bo Young said. “I was surprised that Lee Min Ki never brought his script to the set because he memorized everything perfectly.”
Lee Min Ki also praised his co-star:
“I felt comfortable working with her. She is such a skilled actress, so I tried my best to match her performance.”
What To Expect From The Drama
The drama promises emotional depth and thought-provoking questions about life and death. The posters and teasers have already sparked discussions.
One poster shows the three main characters with the question:
“Euthanasia. Is it the best choice?”
A teaser reveals a tense moment where Jo Hyun Woo tells Woo So Jung,
“Iโll catch you no matter what.”
She replies,
“Youโll never be able to catch me. Because I havenโt committed a crime.”
The drama will premiere on August 1 at 10 p.m. KST on MBC. Fans can also watch Lee Bo Young in “Hide” and Lee Min Ki in “Devils Stay” while waiting.
