Park Eun Bin and Sul Kyung Gu’s “Hyper Knife” becomes most viewed Korean premiere on Disney+
A new medical thriller drama has recently launched on Disney+, and less than two weeks after first shocking viewers with its psychopathic lead, Hyper Knife has become the number one most-viewed Korean premiere on Disney+ in APAC and globally this year, based on seven days of streaming.
Hyper Knife depicts the story of the intense conflict between Se Ok, a genius surgeon, and her mentor and supervising doctor, Deok Hee. Albeit Se Ok’s unparalleled skill with a scalpel, she finds herself tossed aside and stripped of her medical license, which was caused by her mentor, Deok Hee.
Refusing to let go of her life’s work, Se Ok continues to carry out back-alley operations for some of society’s least desirable individuals until her former mentor comes asking for her help. Se Ok is torn between the chance to successfully carry out an impossible operation or exact her revenge on the man who ruined her medical career.
Park Eun Bin brings to life the role of Jeong Se Ok, a visionary neurosurgeon, while the role of Choi Deok Hee is portrayed by actor Sul Kyung Gu, a globally acclaimed neurosurgeon who expelled his former mentee.
On the other hand, actors Yoon Chan Young and Park Byung Eun play Seo Young Joo and Han Hyun Ho in the series, respectively. Young Joo acts as Se Ok’s guardian, and Hyun Ho is an anesthesiologist who admires Se Ok’s exceptional skills.
The series is penned by Kim Sun Hee, who previously worked on Quiz from God: Reboot, and will be helmed by Kim Jung Hyun, the man behind the dramas Crazy Love and My Fellow Citizens.
Don’t miss the thrilling and exciting events in every episode of the series and it will surely blow your mind. Episodes 1-6 are now streaming on Disney+, and the last 2 episodes will be released this Wednesday.
