SUMMARY: My father was murdered by a member of a criminal gang involved in illegal organ trafficking. I became a doctor to get revenge. Rather than work at a prestigious hospital, I chose to work at a prison medical office. It’s the same correctional facility where my father’s killer is serving his sentence. His death will be “convenient”. He confessed that he murdered my father for the money. It was business, not personal. Me? I don’t need or want money. It’s personal!

I haven’t seen “Cross” yet, but this article really made me want to try it. I like medical dramas, especially when they include serious topics. Illegal organ trafficking is something I have only seen in crime documentaries. It’s scary to think that someone could use their position as a doctor to harm instead of help. I don’t agree with Kang In-Kyu’s plan, but I understand his pain. The part about him quitting right before becoming a specialist shows how strong his hate is. I wonder if the show ever gives him a chance to change or if it’s just about revenge. Also, the twist about his adopted father possibly letting his sister die—wow. That’s cold, and I hope the show explains that better. I think the series might make me feel angry, but also make me want to keep watching. Thanks for the summary. I’ll look for it on Tubi.

I read this and I just feel disappointed. Why does every K-drama need to turn the main character into a revenge machine? He had a bright future as a specialist surgeon, and instead he throws it away to play prison justice warrior? I’m not saying the story is bad—it actually sounds well-planned—but the message seems strange. A doctor should heal, not kill. I think it's dangerous to show this kind of story without clearly showing that revenge doesn’t solve anything. Maybe the show does that later, but based on this summary, I’m not convinced. Still, I’m curious if the adopted father really did what Kang In-Kyu believes. That could be a great twist. I hope it’s not just another “everyone’s corrupt” plot. If I do watch it, it’ll be to see how deep the story really goes.

Reading this reminded me of something from my childhood. My father was also in prison, and while he wasn’t innocent, the stories he told me about prison life were heartbreaking. Medical care is not equal in prison, and people do die because of poor treatment. This drama sounds like it uses that reality to tell a much darker story. I can’t even imagine what it feels like to see your parent killed and then be raised by someone you later believe betrayed you. Kang In-Kyu’s journey makes me feel sad more than anything. He lost everything and couldn’t even trust the people who tried to help him. When you’re surrounded by death and corruption, it must be very easy to lose your way. But I hope the drama shows his humanity too. I don’t want to watch a show where someone just becomes a killer without any reflection. I want to see struggle, guilt, and maybe even some healing. Not for the killer—but for Kang In-Kyu himself. If he stays angry and hateful the whole time, then there’s no story. But if he finds something more in himself, that’s when it becomes worth watching.
