Disney Plus has unveiled the first character stills from Hyper Knife, its highly anticipated 2025 original medical thriller starring Park Eun Bin in her first-ever role as a surgeon.
Set to premiere on March 19th, the series follows the intense confrontation between Jeong Se Ok, a former prodigy doctor, and her mentor Choi Deok Hui, who was responsible for her downfall. The show marks a dramatic departure for Park, who portrays a shadow doctor stripped of her medical license.
Park takes on the role of Jeong Se Ok, a brilliant neurosurgeon whose passion for the brain and surgery knows no bounds. After losing her medical license due to her mentor Choi Deok Hui (Sul Kyung Gu), she continues practicing as an underground doctor. The series promises to showcase the electric confrontations between Park and veteran actor Sul Kyung Gu.
The newly released stills capture Park’s character in various emotional states—from intense surgical scenes in blood-stained scrubs to powerfully intimidating moments and scenes of raw emotional breakdown.
Director Kim Jung Hyun expressed confidence in Park’s transformation: “Through her solid acting foundation, Park Eun Bin has brought the character of Jeong Se Ok to life in a way that contrasts with her existing image. Viewers will get to see a side of her they’ve never seen before.”
Sul Kyung Gu, who plays Choi Deok Hui—a world-renowned neurosurgeon who expelled his former protégé from the hospital—praised his co-star. “Park Eun Bin in this kind of role? I thought that would be fresh and interesting. Her casting was a major factor in my decision to join this project,” he shared. Park also shared her thoughts on the role: “There were fascinating aspects to the character setup and structure. I was drawn to the challenge of expressing both the internal and external complexities of Se Ok’s character.”
Hyper Knife premieres on Disney Plus on March 19th.
