Lee Bo Young plays a doctor who secretly helps terminally ill patients end their lives in the upcoming Korean drama “Mary Kills People”. The show also stars Lee Min Ki as a cancer patient and Kang Ki Young as another doctor involved in the illegal euthanasia cases. The drama will premiere on August 1, 2025, on MBC TV.
New posters for the drama show the emotional struggles of the characters. One poster features Lee Bo Young and Lee Min Ki, while another shows her with Kang Ki Young. The posters highlight the difficult choices around life and death that the characters face.
Story Of A Doctor Breaking The Law To End Suffering
“Mary Kills People” is a remake of a Canadian series with the same name. The Korean version follows Woo So Jung (Lee Bo Young), an emergency room doctor who secretly helps terminally ill patients die to end their pain. Even though euthanasia is illegal, she believes she is doing the right thing.
“Why do you do this kind of work, helping people who are dying?”
This question, asked by Lee Min Ki’s character in the drama, shows the moral conflict at the heart of the story. The posters capture the tension between trust, guilt, and understanding.
Lee Min Ki plays Jo Hyun Woo, a man with terminal brain cancer who has no treatment options left. Kang Ki Young is Choi Dae Hyun, a former plastic surgeon who helps Woo So Jung with the euthanasia cases.
Posters Show Emotional Conflict And Teamwork
Two new posters reveal the different relationships in the drama. The first one shows Lee Bo Young and Lee Min Ki looking at each other with deep emotion. Their characters share a complicated bond—she helps people die, and he is someone who might choose that path.
The second poster features Lee Bo Young and Kang Ki Young standing together. They appear united in their secret work. The poster includes the line:
“We do not need to feel guilty about what we do.”
This shows their belief that they are helping people, even if the law says otherwise.
A Drama Full Of Tension And Tough Choices
The production team says the posters highlight the contrast between the characters.
“The posters visually capture the stark contrast in relationships between Lee Bo Young, who helps guide the choice of death, and Lee Min Ki and Kang Ki Young, who are each connected to her for different reasons.”
The drama mixes medical thriller and dark comedy elements. It will explore deep questions about life, death, and morality.
