Actor Lee Jung-sik is drawing attention by appearing in Disney+ original series ‘Hyperknife’.

‘Hyperknife’ (Director: Kim Jung-hyun / Screenplay: Kim Sun-hee / Provided by: Walt Disney Company Korea / Produced by: CJ ENM Studios, Vlad Studio, Dongpung Co., Ltd.), which was first released on the 19th, is the first original medical thriller for Disney+ 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.

Lee Jung-sik plays ‘Ha Woo-young’, a resident of the neurosurgery department at Yonsei University who is a classmate of ‘Jeong Se-ok’ (Park Eun-bin) and believes in and follows ‘Choi Deok-hee’ (Seol Kyung-gu). Having been taught by his teacher Choi Deok-hee since his days at Yonsei University, he still respects Deok-hee and stays by her side, and he also shares past memories with Deok-hee and Se-ok.



Meanwhile, the tiki-taka chemistry between Woo-young and Se-ok also caught the attention of viewers. Woo-young worried about Se-ok‘s body getting hurt while performing surgeries as a substitute for other professors during his residency, and gave her advice that a substitute should be playful sometimes, which showed his affection and even their teasing each other, briefly reviving the tense atmosphere of the drama. However, when Woo-young was selected as a medical intern at Boston University instead of Se-ok, the atmosphere between Se-ok, who was angry, and Woo-young, who was embarrassed, quickly grew cold, which was pitiful.

Lee Jung-sik is an actor who has been steadily cultivating his acting skills through various works such as ‘When I Open My Eyes, I Have Three Boyfriends’, ‘Summer Guys’, and ‘Tracer Season 2’. With his stable acting and warm visuals, Lee Jung-sik has been gaining attention by imprinting his presence in every work he appears in. Among them, in ‘Hyperknife’, he is a character who connects the past and present of Se-ok and Deok-hee, who are mysterious disciples, and arouses curiosity about what kind of stories he will add in the future.

‘Hyperknife’, which Lee Jung-sik appears in, is released worldwide twice every Wednesday through Disney+.
