Since premiering on August 1, MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama has drawn attention with its provocative plot centering on a doctor who assists with euthanasia and the detective determined to track her down.

In the gripping first and second episodes, Park Bo-young portrays Woo So-jung, an emergency medicine doctor leading a double life as she secretly aids terminally ill patients seeking assisted death, together with her college friend Choi Dae-hyun, played by Kang Ki-young. The biggest shock came when it was revealed that Cho Hyun-woo, a patient whom Woo So-jung became emotionally invested in, was in fact undercover detective Ban Ji-hoon, played by Lee Min-ki.

Immediately after airing, “Mary Kills People” climbed to the top spot in TV and OTT news buzz rankings, according to Good Data Corporation. Park Bo-young herself secured fourth place in trending cast members, underscoring the show’s intense reception.

Excitement is mounting ahead of the third episode, as teasers showcase a volatile confrontation between Park Bo-young and Baek Hyun-jin. In the episode, Woo So-jung meets Ku Gwang-chul, a drug dealer played by Baek Hyun-jin, along the banks of the Han River. With menacing force, Ku Gwang-chul grabs Woo So-jung by the collar, fueling an atmosphere brimming with danger. Undeterred, Woo So-jung stands her ground, keeping the dramatic tension at its peak.

Park Bo-young’s restrained yet piercing gaze vividly expresses her character’s resolve, while Baek Hyun-jin’s manic energy deepens the immersion and suspense. Commentators have praised both actors for elevating the drama’s emotional depth and intensity with their commanding performances.

The production team stated, “Mary Kills People is a work that seriously explores the topic of death, something everyone faces. From episode three, viewers can expect a full-blown chase centered around assisted dying, with an even more intense unfolding of events.”

Meanwhile, the third episode of “Mary Kills People” will air at 10 p.m. on August 8.
