Netflix ropes in Lee Jae Wook, Go Min Si, Kim Min Ha, and Lee Hee Joon for a horror K-drama
Disney+ has released stills from Hyper Knife, giving a glimpse of Park Eun Bin and Sul Kyung Gu's sharp synergy.
Hyper Knife is a medical thriller that portrays the battle of wits between Se Ok (Park Eun Bin), a genius doctor who fell from grace, and her mentor, Deok Hee (Sul Kyung Gu), who kicked her to the bottom.
The stills depict the flow of their relationship as a mentor and mentee, which oscillates between trust built over six years and cold hatred.
They capture the despair and solitude of Jung Se Ok, who has plummeted from the position of a promising doctor to rock bottom, along with Choi Deok Hee's cold gaze as he watches her.
Furthermore, the psychological showdown between Park Eun Bin and Sul Kyung Gu, who portray the leads, Jung Se Ok and Choi Deok Hee, respectively, heightens anticipation for the actors' synergy.
In a behind-the-scenes video, Park Eun Bin stated, "Se Ok is the most raw and authentic [true-to-herself] character I've ever played." She added, "I tried my best to express the emotional arcs so that viewers can follow Se Ok's emotions."
Veteran actor Sul Kyung Gu shared, "I focused on adding variations to the character Choi Deok Hee so that he wouldn't come across as predictable."
"Choi Deok Hee feels like a man trapped alone on a remote island." He added, "I thought that simply portraying him in a fixed, consistent manner would make him less compelling, so I worked to capture the layers beneath the surface."
Park Eun Bin also remarked, "I don't think I've ever portrayed a mentor-student relationship as strangely twisted as this one before. I hope viewers find this bizarre dynamic just as fun and interesting."
Hyper Knife premieres on March 19 exclusively on Disney+.
