It started off well, but after the second episode, finishing it felt like a nightmare. The plot became slow and gradually lost its impact, making it hard to stay engaged.
"Hyper Knife" is an intense medical thriller that plunges into the dark world of neurosurgery and revenge. The story centers on Jung Se-ok (Park Eun-bin), a brilliant neurosurgeon whose career crumbles after a scandal, pushing her into performing illegal surgeries. Her path collides once again with Choi Deok-hee (Sul Kyung-gu), her former mentor—a gifted but corrupt surgeon whose obsession with power makes him her greatest threat. What begins as a medical confrontation soon turns into a psychological war between two brilliant minds, where admiration and betrayal blur dangerously.
Park Eun-bin carries the series with an outstanding performance, portraying the inner conflict of a woman torn between ethics and ambition. Sul Kyung-gu shines as the cold, manipulative antagonist, stealing every scene he’s in. Their tense chemistry is the real highlight of the show.
Unfortunately, the plot development doesn’t live up to the cast’s talent. What started as a promising and addictive drama slowly loses momentum as the episodes progress.
