Park Eun-bin‘s new challenge of taking on the role of a doctor for the first time in her acting career in ‘Hyperknife’ and undergoing an intense acting transformation is drawing attention.

Disney+ original series ‘Hyperknife’, which has been confirmed to be released on March 19, is a medical thriller that depicts the fierce confrontation between ‘Se-ok’, a promising genius doctor in the past, and ‘Deok-hee’, the teacher who caused her to fall into the abyss, as she reunites with her. Park Eun-bin, who played the role of ‘Woo Young-woo’, a genius lawyer with an autism spectrum disorder in ‘The Strange Lawyer Woo Young-woo’, perfectly digesting the complex character’s inner self and winning the grand prize in the TV category at the 59th Baeksang Arts Awards, is drawing attention this time with an intense acting transformation with a face that is 180 degrees different from her previous appearances.

Park Eun-bin played the role of ‘Jung Se-ok’, a shadow doctor who was driven into the abyss by her respected teacher in ‘Hyper Knife’. ‘Se-ok’ is a genius doctor who falls in love with the brain and will do anything for surgery, but after her teacher ‘Choi Deok-hee’ (Seol Kyung-gu) revokes her medical license, she lives as a shadow doctor. Through this work, she has challenged herself with a doctor character for the first time in her acting career and plans to maximize the immersion of the play through a fierce confrontation with Seol Kyung-gu, who plays ‘Choi Deok-hee’. The stills released this time capture the three-dimensional aspects of ‘Jung Se-ok’, from the scene where she is absorbed in surgery in blood-stained scrubs, to the scene where she overwhelms the opponent with her sharp gaze, to the moment when she cannot control her emotions and cries. In particular, Park Eun-bin is foreshadowing the birth of another life character by expressing in detail the madness and obsession of the character who hides her identity as a shadow doctor and continues her precarious life.

Director Kim Jung-hyun, who was in charge of directing, expressed his confidence, saying, “Actress Park Eun-bin brought the character of ‘Jung Se-ok’, which is the opposite of her existing image, to life more vividly with her solid acting skills. You will be able to see a side of Park Eun-bin that you have never seen before. ‘Choi Deok-hee’, the world‘s best neurosurgeon and the teacher who kicked her former student ‘Jung Se-ok’ out of the hospital, also said, “I thought it would be new and fun to see Park Eun-bin in this kind of role. Park Eun-bin played a big role in deciding on this work,” he said, raising expectations. Park Eun-bin said, “The character settings and composition were unique,” and “It was a work that made me want to express the complex inner and outer sides of ‘Se-ok’ well in many ways,” raising even greater interest in her acting transformation.

‘Hyperknife’, which is garnering much attention with the explosive synergy of the best actors in Korea, including Park Eun-bin, Sol Kyung-gu, Yoon Chan-young, and Park Byung-eun, and the unique genre of medical thriller, will be available on Disney+ on March 19.
