The chase between the three main characters of ‘Hunters with Scalpels’ gets more intense.

‘Hunter with a Scalpel’ (planned/produced STUDIO X + U | produced by Soul Creative | directed by Lee Jung-hoon | written by Jo Han-young, Park Hyun-shin, Hong Yeon-yi, Jin Se-hyeok)released stills showing Seo Se-hyun(played by Park Joo-hyun), Yoon Jo-gyun(played by Park Yong-woo), and Jeong Jeong-hyun(played by Kang Hoon)continuing their fight while hiding their cards.In the previous 9th episode, the tension was like the calm before a storm as the pieces surrounding the serial murders began to fall into place and the confusion grew, completely capturing the hearts of viewers.Se-hyun came under pressure from the audit team within the National Forensic Service due to suspicions of falsification of autopsy results, and Jo Gyun did not miss this opportunity and secretly delivered a video of Se-hyun taken near Kwon Hyung-jo’s(played by Park Jae-chul)house to Yongcheonseo.Jung Hyun holds onto his last bit of faith and goes to see Se Hyun in person to demand the truth, bringing up the name of Go Eun Seo, a key figure in the past incident.Se Hyun, who does not believe him, coldly tells Jung Hyun, “Let’s not see each other again,” and turns away.As a result, the dangerous partnership between the two has come to an end, so anticipation for episode 10, which was released today(the 1st), is reaching its peak.



Among these, the released stills show Se-hyeon personally visiting Jo-gyun’s laundry on his own feet, creating a suffocating tension.First of all, Se-hyeon is standing in front of the laundry with a determined look, raising curiosity.His eyes sharply staring at Jo-gyun through the laundry window in the cold night air reveal complex emotions.This is the moment when Jo-gyun’s eerie prophecy from the last phone call, “You will come by yourself, eventually,” becomes reality, raising curiosity about the real reason why Se-hyeon went to see his father on his own.On the other hand, Jo-gyun has a calm expression as if he had expected everything despite his daughter’s sudden visit.Jo-gyun greets Se-hyeon with a gentle smile without showing any sign of surprise, sending goosebumps down the viewers ‘spines.At this critical moment when all the arrows of suspicion are pointed at him, attention is focused on why Se-hyeon went to Jo-gyun in person, and what kind of catastrophe this dangerous reunion between father and daughter will bring.

Meanwhile, Jung-hyun, confused between his faith and suspicion toward Se-hyun, begins to pursue the truth in his own way.In another still, he is shown visiting Ha-ryong’s old house with an eerie atmosphere together with Jeon Chang-jin(Ryu Seung-soo)to find the link between the ‘tailor murder case’ and the ‘Cheongun Port blue barrel case’, drawing attention.The two people carefully entering the rusty container in the darkness, relying only on a small flashlight, hint at the weight of the huge secret they will face.It is endlessly curious to see whether Jung-hyun will be able to find a decisive clue that connects Se-hyun’s past and present serial murders there.

In this way, ‘Hunter with a Scalpel’ densely builds up the narratives of three characters who are each absorbed in their own hunt, providing unpredictable suspense.Anticipation is skyrocketing for episode 10, which was released today(the 1st), as to who will be the winner of the three people’s complicated hunting game.

Meanwhile, ‘The Hunters’ is released every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday on U + tv, U + mobile tv, and Disney+, a global online video service(OTT).
