Actress Park Eun-bin showed off a new side of herself through ‘Hyperknife’.Park Eun-bin talked about the emotions she felt when meeting the character in this work.

On the afternoon of the 15th, at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul, an interview was held to mark the end of the Disney+ original series ‘Hyperknife’, and Donga.com met with the cast to talk about the work.

On this day, Park Eun-bin said about challenging a new character through ‘Hyperknife’, “I didn’t think about shedding my image.I started off with a light heart, wanting to try a role I’ve never done before.I think that the image you have of me as an actor will vary depending on the works you’ve seen.Since I’ve been working for a long time, I don’t think you can watch all of my works without knowing what works you’ve seen.I think I’ve been able to show you a lot of different works based on my personality.I had fun doing it too.”



In particular, Park Eun-bin, who played a much more intense character in this work than in her other works, said, “He set the stage for me to commit evil deeds to my heart’s content.It was the first time I’ve said so many bad words.I didn’t curse as much as I thought.However, those words were amazing lines that had a greater impact than curses.I learned a lot from them.”

He said, “It was a drama where I killed four people and saved four.I didn’t calculate anything when filming this genre.The part I focused on this time was to accept things that Se-ok could react to as much as possible in an unfamiliar way.I think it was the first time they saw blood splattering, so I was surprised when they said it was scary.I didn’t say it was scary.I didn’t act with the intention of being scary.I think the viewers found that side of me.”

When asked about her feelings as an actress playing Se-ok in ‘Hyperknife’, Park Eun-bin said, “Every time I act, I get immersed in it, and I don’t always live looking in the mirror.When I get immersed in the character, there are moments when I discover that this face is Se-ok’s face every time I monitor the video.I think that every time I discover those parts, I feel the joy of trying out a new kind of acting.”



In particular, Park Eun-bin said, “As an actor, I filmed while understanding even the parts that the viewers didn’t understand.I thought that was my duty as an actor.That’s why I didn’t think it was particularly scary or feel sorry for it,” drawing attention.

Park Eun-bin also said, “I think I was crazy the whole time I was filming.The people around me made it hard for Se-ok to live sanely.I think it was a time when I lived through those emotions vicariously,” expressing her thoughts on acting as Se-ok in “Hyperknife.”

Park Eun-bin said about the parts she focused on to portray the character of Se-ok, “I thought she was a character with extreme childish selfishness.I thought she was a self-righteous character who only believed in her own desires, had no consideration for others, and thought she was the only one right.I wanted to express the parts that could be seen as tantrums in a non-typical way, and in a different way.”

Meanwhile, ‘Hyperknife’ is a drama that depicts the fierce confrontation between Jeong Se-ok(played by Park Eun-bin), a former promising genius doctor, and her teacher Choi Deok-hee(played by Sol Kyung-gu), who led her to the abyss.

Park Eun-bin gave an overwhelming performance as the shadow doctor Jeong Se-ok, who was driven into the abyss by her respected teacher.
