2. Does Netflix release it at the same time?

Neither a midnight-Pacific assumption nor a direct conversion of SBS airtime confirms episode 7’s Netflix availability.

3. Is this the Japanese Doctor-X or a Korean remake?

This is the Korean adaptation. Original rights holder TV Asahi confirmed the remake in December 2025, with Studio Dragon and Studio S producing it for SBS. Its announcement described a medical-noir approach to corruption and power inside the hospital.

TV Asahi identifies Kim Ji-won as the Korean version’s central surgeon, corresponding to Michiko Daimon in Doctor-X: Surgeon Michiko Daimon. Netflix lists the new show under the distinct English title Doctor X: Mafia in White. Netflix series details.

If a search returns the Japanese series or a film, check the full subtitle and cast before choosing an episode. This guide concerns the 2026 Korean production.

4. Who stars, and what should you know before catching up?

Netflix’s cast list includes Kim Ji-won, Lee Jung-eun, Son Hyun-joo and Kim Woo-seok. The premise centers on an exceptionally skilled surgeon challenging a hospital shaped by ambition and corruption. Official cast and synopsis.

For a spoiler-light catch-up, begin with episode 1 and leave the SBS episode 7 preview until after episode 6. The preview may reveal story developments, so skip it if you prefer to go in fresh. For the next installment, bookmark the SBS preview for the broadcast schedule and Netflix’s title page for the episode itself.
