With a medical theme, Hyper Knife tells the story of the strained relationship between genius doctor Jung Se Ok (Park Eun Bin) and her teacher - Choi Deok Hee (Sol Kyung Gu).
After being betrayed by his teacher and having his practice license revoked, Se Ok had no choice but to continue working in the dark.
Hyper knife is 8 episodes long and aired its first 2 episodes on the afternoon of March 19 with mixed reactions. According to a part of the audience, the combination of medical stories and strange characters helps the film create special appeal.
The surgical scenes were impressively recreated along with Park Eun Bin's performance in a role with dark color, heavy psychological depth, convincing the audience.
According to the actress, she does not always build her character based on books, but thanks to her major in psychology at university, she has become familiar with the characteristics of characters who can suffer from social identity disorder and perform better in films.
Park Eun Bin's contributions to the look (hairstyle, tattoo, earrings), good interaction with his senior Sol Kyung Gu also scored points with the audience.
In addition to compliments, the work still faces mixed opinions about the script and the way of expression.
In particular, the way to build the main villain character is somewhat blurred, the motives are not clarified, making it difficult for viewers to sympathize or feel drawn into the confrontation.
The fact that "Hyper knife" integrates many specialized terms, the supporting characters have not been fully exploited, or the special effects are not smooth, the music has not created a climax... is also a minus point.
However, with the performance of Park Eun Bin and Sol Kyung Gu, the invested scenes, "Hyper Knife" is still a work worth watching on screen.
The reason is that the film like a dark, strange fairy tale and gives warning words about social problems in the era of constantly developing technology.
If the rhythm is improved, the supporting characters are developed and the quality of the special effects is improved, the film may have a comeback in the remaining 6 episodes.
