Doctor X Ending Explained: Did Su-jeong Perform Surgery on Conscious Patient? Will There Be Doctor X Season 2?

Doctor X finale brings Su-jeong the most needed closure. After days of watching her go through an exhausting journey, she finally found a satisfying end. Whether it was the justice served to Seung-hyo, the closure of Magnolia, or the end of Wings Corps, everything ended satisfyingly. Here’s the Doctor X ending explained for deeper understanding and more news on season 2.

Doctor X Ending Explained

Did Su-Jeong Finally Overcome Her Guilt?

Su-jeong carried the burden of failing to save Baraka despite it not even being her fault. Seung-hyo used poor Baraka as a shield during the explosion, which left the child heavily burned. When Su-jeong tried to save an already half-dead child, she endured the trauma and lived a terrible life thereafter.

However, Neema’s return changes everything. When she tells Su-Jeong that she isn’t a monster and that Baba is the only monster in their story, Su-jeong finally breathes. For the first time in years, she feels the weight lifted off of her. Moreover, in the final scene when Su-jeong dreams about Baraka, it is evident that she has finally moved on.

What Happened to Seung-Hyo?

Seung-Hyo’s fate is the best watch ever! Instead of receiving punishment under the law, the medical system gives him a lifetime sentence. With classical music, his daughter Won-jin tortures and triggers him, as it gives him a panic attack. She even switches his heart monitor off while the music plays. This makes him struggle, but she doesn’t kill him. She will keep on triggering him slowly to death.

For years, Seung-Hyo controlled the lives of vulnerable children, leaving them terrified and powerless. Now, his daughter has taken control of the situation.

White Wings Medical Corps and Su-jeong’s End

The White Wings Medical Corps purposely saved Seung-hyo despite knowing what he had done. Regardless, they were left with no choice, as their threats didn’t work against the doctors. Given that Seung-hyo is now on his deathbed, his life is gone forever.

Speaking of Magnolia, it is still going to be run by the powerful people, meaning the war is still on. When Boo asks Su-jeong to take up the permanent post, she rejects it. This decision proves that she runs by her own values.

All these scenes point to the possibility of Season 2, where Su-jeong will return for another mission with her team.

What to Expect From Doctor X Season 2?

Although there isn’t any official news regarding Season 2, the story has ended in a manner that they can extend the series. Firstly, the Magnolia establishment is still run by corrupt officials, so the series can still develop from it. Then we have Won-jin. Won-jin was asked to join the Lagota by Dr Jang. So there are more interesting things that can happen within the medical team.

Director Boo’s health is deteriorating, so someone has to take up his position if something happens to him. He is the only fair guy in the Magnolia team amidst the corrupt guys. Hence, a better replacement would definitely be needed. Since Su-jeong is Doctor X, who won’t want to watch her next action.

Final Thoughts

Doctor X: Mafia in White ended with a satisfying closure to a monster who abused so many ends. Su-jeong finally gets her closure as well, given that Neema told her she’s not the monster. Tae-gyeong finally begins to acknowledge his healing. Won-jin gives her father the punishment he deserves.

But the world that protected Seung-Hyo is still standing.

If Season 2 happens, I hope it goes beyond introducing another dangerous patient or corrupt doctor. There is an entire system waiting to be challenged, and Doctor X might just be the person capable of doing it.
