Kang Ki Young has shared his thoughts on his upcoming drama “Mary Kills People”;!
“Mary Kills People”; follows the story of Woo So Jung (Lee Bo Young), a doctor who illegally assists terminally ill patients with euthanasia, and a detective who tracks her down.
Kang Ki Young stars as Choi Dae Hyun, a former plastic surgeon whose medical license has been revoked. A longtime friend of Woo So Jung, he now assists her in helping terminally ill patients end their lives through euthanasia.
Speaking about why he chose a drama that deals with medically assisted death, Kang Ki Young shared, “Because this subject hasn’t been explored much before, I approached it with caution,”; adding, “There are many types of goodbyes in the world, but I think a prepared farewell, chosen by the individual, has its own unique meaning.”;
On how he prepared for his role, Kang Ki Young remarked, “Dae Hyun might seem carefree at times, but he’s someone who’s grown through pain. So I wouldn’t call it carefreeness—it’s more like inner strength that comes from experience. I felt that the synergy between the characters was the most powerful part of the story, and I focused a lot on how to bring that out.”;
The production team remarked, “Kang Ki Young is an actor whose warm demeanor and performances deeply resonate with viewers. His wide emotional range and heartfelt portrayal will add depth to the drama. Please look forward to his performance.”;
“Mary Kills People”; is set to premiere on August 1 at 10 p.m. KST.
