Upcoming drama “Hunter with a Scalpel” has dropped new stills featuring its cast!

“Hunter with a Scalpel” is a psychological crime thriller starring Park Ju Hyun as Seo Se Hyun, a brilliant but troubled forensic pathologist. One day, while conducting an autopsy, Se Hyun recognizes the signature murder method of her father—a serial killer who she thought had died 20 years ago—and sets out to find him before the police.

Seo Se Hyun is a brilliant forensic pathologist with sociopathic traits and a deadly instinct. Yoon Jo Kyun (Park Yong Woo) is a psychopathic serial killer obsessed with dissecting human bodies. Jung Jung Hyun (Kang Hoon) is a police officer who believes in the inherent goodness of people. The complicated and dangerous relationships between Se Hyun—who walks the line between good and evil—the utterly evil Jo Kyun, and the just Jung Hyun are expected to be the drama’s central focus.

The relationship between Se Hyun and Jo Kyun goes beyond a typical father-daughter bond. They are locked in a deadly fight, forced to hunt each other to survive. Se Hyun sets a clever trap to protect everything she’s worked for, while Jo Kyun tries to pull his daughter into his dangerous world.

Their dynamic constantly shifts, with control passing back and forth, creating tense and unpredictable moments. When Jung Hyun, a police officer driven by a strong sense of justice, enters the scene, he becomes a key factor in their conflict and introduces a new twist to the case. Se Hyun and Jung Hyun share a complicated relationship, balancing cooperation with suspicion.

Park Ju Hyun, Park Yong Woo, and Kang Hoon elevate the drama with their strong performances and chemistry. Park Ju Hyun and Park Yong Woo portray intense, dangerous characters, while Kang Hoon’s performance helps balance the tension between them. Together, their acting draws viewers deeply into the story and the characters’ emotions.

The relationship between these three characters delivers everything a thriller promises: tense investigations, clever mind games, intense psychological battles, and gripping chase scenes.

The production team said, “The strong acting chemistry between Park Ju Hyun, Park Yong Woo, and Kang Hoon, along with their unpredictable relationships, are the biggest strengths of ‘Hunter with a Scalpel.’ Their constantly changing dynamics and shifting emotions won’t let viewers look away for a single moment.”
