A gripping medical crime thriller, Hyper Knife follows the intense rivalry between two brilliant yet volatile minds—Doctor Se Ok (Park Eun Bin), once a rising star, and her former mentor Deok Hee (Sol Kyung Gu), the man responsible for her downfall. When fate reunites them after six years, their turbulent relationship takes a dramatic turn.
Unmatched expertise
Sol Kyung Gu portrays Choi Deok Hee, a world-renowned neurosurgeon admired for his unmatched expertise. Though once dedicated to Se Ok, he later cast her aside without hesitation. Their unexpected reunion stirs deep emotions, fuelling the drama’s tension.
