The globally renowned streaming service Disney+, which offers the best entertainment experience with outstanding storytelling and innovative content, has seen its first original medical thriller "Hyperknife" generate heated responses from viewers with its unpredictable developments and shocking endings. Finally, with the last episode set to be released tomorrow (9th), a preview still capturing the breath-taking emotional moments between Park EunBin and Sul KyungGu has attracted significant attention.
As of 7 days after its release, "Hyperknife" has recorded the highest viewership among Korean content released in 2025 on Disney+ globally and in the Asia-Pacific region, continuing to draw attention. The 5th and 6th episodes have already sparked explosive reactions across social media and online communities.
In particular, the ending of the 6th episode depicts "SeOk" (Park EunBin) directly handling problems with "Min SaJang" (Won HyunJun) for the sake of "DeokHee" (Sul KyungGu), leading to comments such as, "This is a really crazy drama" (@miz***), and "Building up to this point, the ending of the 6th episode reaches its peak. 'Screenwriter, director, actor' + music to the point that 'it's all alive'" (@onu***). The dense acting chemistry between Park EunBin and Sul KyungGu has also garnered attention. As one evaluation states, "Actor Park EunBin provides freshness to actor Sul KyungGu, while actor Sul KyungGu offers stability to actor Park EunBin, creating a relationship that highlights each other," the meticulous acting synergy between the two actors enhances the immersion in the work. Additionally, the attempts by viewers to creatively interpret the relationship between the two characters stand out. Responses like, "DeokHee's love for SeOk is close to servitude to a god" (@Heon**) connect the lyrics of the inserted song "Capricorn" with quotes from the work "Wuthering Heights," as viewers increasingly interpret the work in their own ways. Such diverse impressions and interpretations surrounding "Hyperknife" give a tangible sense of the work's heated interest.
In the 7th and 8th episodes of "Hyperknife" set to release tomorrow (9th), emotions between "SeOk" and "DeokHee" are expected to spiral further amid the tightening police investigation. In particular, "DeokHee," who suffers from extreme pain, will reveal a more human side while reminiscing about the past with "SeOk," contrasting with the strong and cold demeanor previously shown, which is expected to draw viewers' immersion. Moreover, "SeOk" and "DeokHee" will come face to face with the true feelings they've hidden, and the tangled threads of emotion will gradually begin to unravel.
However, "You really don't know the professor at all," "SeOk" learns of "DeokHee's" hidden feelings from "Allen Kim" (Han JunWoo), plunging her into shock and anger, prompting her to go on a rampage to find the hidden "DeokHee." At the same time, "Yang KyungGam" (Yu SeungMok) will pursue them fiercely, further amplifying the viewers' curiosity as the story takes another unpredictable turn.
The Disney+ original series "Hyperknife" is a medical thriller depicting the intense confrontation that unfolds when the once-promising genius doctor "SeOk" reunites with his mentor "DeokHee," who led him into ruin. The final episodes 7 and 8 will be released this Wednesday (9th).
