Intense Rivalry Unveiled in 'Hyperknife' Teaser Poster and Trailer

The teaser poster and trailer for the upcoming Disney+ original series 'Hyperknife' have been released, showcasing the fierce rivalry between 'Jung Se-ok' (박은빈) and 'Choi Deok-hee' (설경구). The poster captures the gripping tension as Se-ok, a once-promising genius doctor turned shadow doctor due to her mentor's betrayal, confronts Deok-hee, the world's top neurosurgeon who led her downfall. 박은빈 delivers a powerful performance, conveying a mix of anger and determination through her intense gaze. Meanwhile, 설경구 amplifies the suspense with his commanding presence as Deok-hee. The tagline, "I hope my teacher dies soon," hints at the deep emotional rift between the two characters and piques interest in the unfolding narrative.

The teaser trailer begins with a flashback to the past, filled with Se-ok's deep respect and trust for Deok-hee. However, it quickly shifts to a moment where Deok-hee coldly tells Se-ok, "You will never set foot in that operating room again," raising questions about the events that led to their current animosity. The trailer concludes with their reunion after six years, presenting a transformed dynamic that promises an intriguing mentor-student relationship.

Director Kim Jung-hyun has promised a portrayal of Se-ok's complex emotions that viewers have yet to see from 박은빈, while 설경구's ability to convey overwhelming presence through mere expressions heightens the drama's tension. The explosive performances of both actors are anticipated to be a highlight of 'Hyperknife,' which is set to premiere on March 19.

'Hyperknife' tells the story of Se-ok, a once-promising genius surgeon, who confronts her mentor Deok-hee, leading to a fierce medical thriller. 박은빈, known for her role as the autistic genius lawyer in 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo,' takes on the challenging role of Se-ok, while 설경구, who won the Best Actor award at the 58th Baeksang Arts Awards for 'Kingmaker,' plays the ruthless Deok-hee. Additionally, actor 윤찬영 will portray Se-ok's loyal bodyguard, 'Seo Young-joo,' and 박병은 will play 'Han Hyun-ho,' an anesthesiologist who supports Se-ok's surgical ambitions. With Kim Jung-hyun at the helm, 'Hyperknife' promises to deliver a unique and gripping medical thriller experience.
