Actor Park EunBin has successfully transformed her image.
The lead actors Park EunBin and Sul KyungGu of Disney+'s original series "Hyperknife" recently conducted a photo shoot for fashion magazine "Elle." As a medical thriller that tells the story of a genius neurosurgeon who engages in sharp conflicts beyond the teacher-student relationship, the shoot focused on capturing the tension between the two actors.
An interview was conducted after the photo shoot. Despite both having over 20 years of acting experience, it is their first time playing doctor roles. Sul KyungGu, playing the respected neurosurgery professor Choi DeokHee, noted, "I wasn't drawn to the doctor role itself. Rather, the interesting story of the teacher-student relationship contained within the doctor's outer layer approached me intriguingly. I was drawn to the peculiarities that emerge when two characters, who can hardly be called ordinary, collide."
Park EunBin, who plays the genius doctor Jeong SeOk who performs illegal surgeries after losing her medical license, said, "It was a work that drew me in strongly. Doctors can be quite different depending on their specialty and atmosphere, and the fact that I could talk about neurosurgery and related topics attracted me." At the same time, she added, "The fact that I could act with senior Sul KyungGu was also a reason I was drawn to the role," showcasing her charming side.
When asked how he immersed himself in each character, Sul KyungGu replied, "While acting, some characters stick with the tone I first set for them throughout, and some change; Choi DeokHee was the latter. I imagined that Choi DeokHee has some clumsiness that pops up in areas outside his specialty, and I created him by transforming that idea."
Park EunBin expressed, "The characters I have acted until now have been fundamentally righteous and have grown through the process, while SeOk is lacking in many aspects. I felt immense joy in acting something I had never tried before. On the one hand, I am uncertain about what reactions may come."
"Hyperknife" is set to be released on March 19.
