‘Hyperknife’ is drawing attention by releasing a making-of video about ‘The New World of Hyperknife’, told directly by the actors and production team.

Disney+ original series ‘Hyperknife’ 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 sent her into the abyss, as she reunites with him. A making-of video that further increases expectations for the work, ahead of the release of episodes 1 and 2 on Disney+ tomorrow (the 19th), has been released and is garnering much attention.

In the released video, director Kim Jung-hyun, as well as actors Park Eun-bin, Sol Kyung-gu, Yoon Chan-young, and Park Byung-eun, convey the unique genre appeal and strong character appeal of ‘Hyperknife’. First, director Kim Jung-hyun said, “When I first saw the script, it felt like my heart was pounding for the first time in a long time,” and expressed his admiration for the scenario with its unpredictable story. Park Eun-bin, who plays the genius surgeon ‘Se-ok, and Sol Kyung-gu, who plays the top neurosurgeon ‘Deok-hee, mentioned, “It‘s a script that is full of the mysterious charm of the relationship between a teacher and disciple,” and, “There’s probably never been a teacher-student relationship like this,” raising expectations for the intense relationship between teacher and student that we‘ve never seen before. The characters ‘Young-joo’ and ‘Hyeon-ho’, who are the central characters of ‘Se-ok’, were then introduced. Yoon Chan-young, who plays ‘Yeong-ju’, said, “He’s a character who tries to help ‘Se-ok’ by any means necessary,” and predicted a strong bond and unique chemistry. Park Eun-bin, who plays ‘Hyeon-ho’, played by Park Byung-eun, said, “He‘s a really good doctor and has a personality that’s the polar opposite of ‘Se-ok,” and is expected to show an interesting character relationship.



‘Hyperknife’, the first medical thriller on Disney+, underwent thorough preparation to bring out the details in all aspects, including directing, art direction, and music. Director Kim Jung-hyun explained, “The medical scenes are very realistic, so I received a lot of training from an advisor before filming, and he was always present on the days when we had surgery scenes.” Art director Lee Jin-young also said, “I thought that a mechanism for performing illegal surgery had to be implemented in any space,” and revealed that he designed the operating room set and medical equipment to maximize realism after consulting with experts. Scenes with such meticulous detail are expected to maximize the immersion of viewers. Music director Baek Eun-woo then created a unique theme song for each character. He said, “‘Se-ok’ seemed like a broken xylophone that connects to various emotions. On the other hand, ‘Deok-hee’ felt like a cello that had been played for a very long time and was worn out,” and explained that he expressed the relationship between the two characters musically through the harmony of two seemingly mismatched instruments. The attention of viewers around the world is focused on this well-made medical thriller that was completed through the collaboration of the best actors and directors.

‘Hyperknife’, which is garnering anticipation as a well-made production, will be available tomorrow (the 19th) on Disney+.
