Actor Park Byung-eun visited the small screen as a singer through the Disney+ original series 'HyperKnife'. Park Byung-eun, who left a strong impression with her intense villainous performances such as psychopaths and serial killers, showed a new face to viewers this time by playing the role of a neurosurgeon who silently protects her beliefs.

Park Byung-eun met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 14th and expressed her feelings about the end of 'HyperKnife'.

He said, "'It's been a long time since I've seen a pure and good character like Han Hyun-ho.'" It was a more difficult role because there were few external explanations", he confessed. "The character can be expressed by his appearance or behavior, but Hyun-ho had to rely only on his inner emotional line."So it wasn't easy to build a character," he confessed.




He said he also thought a lot about the costumes at the time of filming. "It felt like a returning student from the military, I went straight to the checkered shirt" " Such a simple look seemed to be the best tool to express the character Han Hyun-ho.", he explained.

Despite various twists and genre tensions, "Hyperknife" played by Park Byung-eun, Han Hyun-ho was in charge of heavy and stable 'Good axis' throughout the whole time. The role of Han Hyun-ho, who tolerated Jeong Se-ok (Park Eun-bin)'s illegal surgery, gave advice, and sometimes took center stage, rather shone in characters with various emotions.

In fact, some viewers doubted Park Byung-eun's reversal. In response, Park Byung-eun "Some people responded that they thought they would stab people, but I heard that it was a reversal that it did not happen until the end."," he said with a smile.




In particular, Park Byung-eun defined a character named Han Hyun-ho as a "predictive character" and introduced "the best person I have ever played." "If Season 2 is produced, I'm really curious about the reaction of Han Hyun-ho, who learned what Jeong Se-ok did," he said. "If we can capture the change of emotion, it will be an interesting challenge for an actor as well." expressed expectation.

Meanwhile, 'HyperKnife', starring Park Byung-eun, was a high-profile Disney+ original series through intense acting synergy with Park Eun-bin. The entire eight-part 'HyperKnife' was released on the 9th.
