Se-hyeon is joined by Jung-hyeon, the head of the Yongcheon Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit.In the still cut, Jung-hyeon’s appearance is reminiscent of his great sense of responsibility as the new head of the Violent Crimes Unit in charge of the case, while his tension and anticipation for being able to investigate the scene with Se-hyeon, whom he admires, are also evident.In particular, the sight of the two standing side by side and inspecting the scene adds to the anticipation for their special cooperative relationship that will unfold in the future.

In this way, ‘Hunter with a Scalpel’ is garnering attention from viewers with its interesting setting, where Se-hyeon, an autopsy specialist who hides a secret and tries to find the culprit, and Jeong-hyeon, a police officer who pursues the truth of the case with pure sense of justice, meet and cooperate through one case.What kind of new clues will the two find at the crime scene, and what kind of change will their precarious cooperation bring to the two people’s fate?
