The November 14 finale
SBS’s “Doctor X: Mafia in White,” starring Kim Ji-won, concluded on Saturday, November 14, 2026, with average nationwide household ratings of 15.2%. Yonhap reported the Nielsen Korea figure on November 15, following the final broadcast.
Episode 12 closes the medical noir about a brilliant surgeon confronting corruption within the medical establishment. SBS also published an official finale video after the broadcast; that footage contains scenes from the ending.
An increase from the previous episode
According to Newsis, the preceding episode recorded 14.5% using the same nationwide measure. The finale therefore gained 0.7 percentage points, ending the broadcast run with an improvement over its penultimate night.
It was not a new series record: episode six had reached 19.5%. The finale’s 15.2% figure is a nationwide household average, separate from metropolitan ratings or the highest instantaneous audience figure during an episode.
