Disney+ postpones 'Knock Off's release amid Kim Soo Hyun's controversy
The Disney+ original medical thriller Hyper Knife, in which Park Eun Bin takes on the role of a doctor for the first time in her acting career, has confirmed its premiere date for March 19.
Hyper Knife is a medical thriller that portrays the battle of wits between Se Ok (Park Eun Bin), a genius doctor who fell from grace, and her mentor Deok Hee (Sul Kyung Gu) who kicked her to the bottom.
In the K-drama, Park Eun Bin delivers a compelling performance as Jung Se Ok, a shadow doctor who was cast into ruin by her mentor, who she once respected. She is a genius doctor obsessed with the brain, willing to go to any lengths for surgery. However, after having her medical license revoked by her former mentor Choi Deok Hee (Sul Kyung Gu), she lives as a shadow doctor.
The newly released stills capture Jung Se Ok's multifaceted character — ranging from her unwavering focus in surgery, clad in a bloodstained surgical gown, to her piercing gaze that dominates her opponent, and a raw, emotional moment where she breaks down in uncontrollable sobs.
The actress aims to meticulously portray the madness and obsession of a character who must conceal her identity and navigate as a shadow doctor.
Director Kim Jung Hyun expressed his anticipation, stating, "Park Eun Bin has brought Jung Se Ok to life with her solid acting skills, completely transforming from her previous image [as an actress]. You will be able to see a side of Park Eun Bin they have never seen before."
Sol Kyung Gu, who plays Choi Deok Hee, the world's top neurosurgeon and the mentor who expelled Jung Se Ok from the hospital, also praised Park Eun Bin, saying, "Park Eun Bin in a role like this? I found that new and exciting. She played a huge part in deciding on this project."
Park Eun Bin shared her thoughts on the role, saying, "There were intriguing aspects in the character setup and structure." She added, "I was drawn to the challenge of expressing both the inner and outer worlds of Se Ok, who is complex in many ways."
Hyper Knife premieres on March 19 exclusively on Disney+.
