Actor Park Joo-hyun demonstrated a strong presence through "Hunter with a Scalpel."
Park Joo-hyun plays the role of genius forensic scientist Seo Se-hyun in the LG Uplus STUDIO X+U mid-form drama "Hunter with a Scalpel" (written by Jo Han-young, Park Hyun-sin, Hong Yeon-i, Jin Se-hyuk, directed by Lee Jung-hoon), showcasing deep and mature acting.
In the first episode, Seo Se-hyun is depicted in a confused state as a thread is discovered in the case of the murder of a female college student from Yongcheon, raising doubts about the existence of her father, whom she believed to be dead. Visiting the crime scene, Se-hyun sharply analyzes the psychology of the perpetrator, revealing her professional side.
Meanwhile, Se-hyun maintains her firm belief despite being offered inducements to overlook the drug use allegations against professional baseball player Nam Seung-hyub. During this time, the victim in a dismemberment murder case for which an autopsy was requested is revealed to be Min Ho (Ryu Hae-jun), the forensic doctor assigned to the Nam Seung-hyub case, delivering a shock.
The more Se-hyun chases the perpetrator, the more the shadow of her father appears in the case, plunging her into confusion. With keen judgment, she discovers fingerprints of the perpetrator on the tape that was wrapped around Min Ho's body, realizing it is the same perpetrator as in the Yongcheon female college student murder case. Alongside this, flashbacks to Se-hyun's childhood provoke curiosity about future developments.
Park Joo-hyun not only heightens the tension of the drama with her chilling gaze but also fails to conceal her anxiety at her father's appearance, leaving a strong impression. Expectations are building for Park Joo-hyun, who has perfectly blended into the complex character of Se-hyun, and what she will showcase through "Hunter with a Scalpel."
"Hunter with a Scalpel," which soared to the top of the global online video service (OTT) Disney Plus' "Today's Top 10 in Korea" immediately upon its first release, will be available every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday on U+tv, U+mobiletv, and Disney Plus.
