The highly anticipated K-drama "Mary Kills People," inspired by the Canadian television series of the same name, is set to premiere on MBC TV on August 1, 2025. The show will air every Friday and Saturday at 10 PM KST (6:30 PM IST).
"Mary Kills People" explores the complex and controversial topic of euthanasia through a medical black comedy lens. The series delves into the story of Woo So Jung, a skilled emergency medicine doctor who moonlights as an "expert" in providing euthanasia to people with terminal illnesses who wish to end their lives peacefully.
Lee Bo Young stars as Woo So Jung, navigating the moral complexities of assisted dying. Kang Ki Young plays her helper, using his medical expertise to assist her in the process. Lee Min Ki takes on the role of Jo Hyun Woo, a man diagnosed with a massive brain tumor. The series will also feature actors Kim Tae Woo, Baek Hyun Jin, and Kwon Hye Hyo. Cameos are confirmed from Lee Yi Kyung, Lee Sang Yoon, Son Sook, and Park Won Sang.
The K-drama remake promises to spark thought-provoking discussions about ethical issues in today's society. It raises questions about respecting individual choices regarding end-of-life decisions versus upholding the sanctity of life. The series is directed by Park Joon-Woo and written by Lee Soo-A.
As the story unfolds, viewers can anticipate a cat-and-mouse game, exploring the importance of self-inflicted end-of-life sentences and the pro-life agenda. "Mary Kills People" aims to present both sides of the argument, leaving the audience to ponder the characters' journeys through challenging moral landscapes.
