On November 21, 2024, the press conference for the Disney+ original series ‘Hyper Knife’ was successfully held at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Center in Singapore during the ‘Disney Content Showcase APAC 2024’. At the event, Sol KyungGu and Park EunBin engaged in an in-depth conversation about their experiences portraying a unique mentor and apprentice relationship and the core charm of the drama.
‘Hyper Knife’ tells the story of SeOk (played by Park EunBin), who once had the potential to be a genius doctor but fell into despair due to her mentor DeokHee (played by Sol KyungGu). She now lives as a shadow doctor performing illegal surgeries. Through this drama, the two protagonists explore the depth of emotions and offer a new perspective to the audience.
Sol KyungGu expressed that understanding human emotions was essential for this role, as he intriguingly portrayed the complex emotional lines between mentor and student. He added that the relationship between DeokHee and SeOk could be seen as fresh yet shocking when viewed as ‘person-to-person’. He emphasized that the emotional fun provided by this drama would be a key viewing point.
Park EunBin described her first impression of the script as “mysterious” and noted the complex relationship between the mentor and student, which traverses emotional extremes, as particularly striking. She also conveyed that the drama focuses on experiencing psychological changes rather than merely deducing cause and effect.
Director Kim JungHyun stated that the goal was to naturally portray conflicts arising from relationships, avoiding the artificial injection of emotional elements. He added that he hoped viewers could relate to similar relationships in their own lives through the relationship between DeokHee and SeOk.
The two-day showcase drew significant attention, with the first day unveiling trailers and exclusive footage from Disney’s global creative studios, and the second day featuring Disney+’s lineup of local original content focusing on Korea and Japan. Anticipation is high regarding how ‘Hyper Knife’ will be received by fans worldwide.
