Disney+ has released the main trailer for its upcoming psychological crime thriller 'The Hunter with a Scalpel,' promising a chilling and sensational experience that will captivate viewers.
The story follows forensic pathologist Se Yeon, played by Park Ju Hyun, who discovers a murder victim bearing the signature method of her father Jo Kyun, portrayed by Park Yong Woo. Once thought to have died 20 years ago, Jo Kyun was a tailor and a notorious serial killer. Now back from the dead, he becomes the target of Se Yeon’s desperate search, as she races to find him before Detective Jung Hyun, played by Kang Hoon, catches up. Determined not to become her father's next victim, Se Yeon takes matters into her own hands.
The newly released trailer presents a gripping psychological battle. It explores the tense dynamics between a brilliant yet haunted daughter, a father who returns to plunge her into terror once more, and a detective pursuing the truth behind a string of gruesome murders.
A cheerful family photo quickly gives way to disturbing crime scenes, filled with blood, an assortment of neatly arranged knives, and cold metal tables that resemble autopsy slabs. Past and present are tightly interwoven, as the haunting line “I was born the daughter of a psychopath” draws the audience deep into Se Yeon’s inner turmoil.
The discovery of a thread at the crime scene forces Se Yeon to confront a past she desperately wanted to forget. Her certainty that her father was dead begins to crumble as memories resurface and doubts take root. Her growing fear and confusion leave her emotionally cornered.
The trailer reaches a chilling high point when Jo Kyun appears in full view, saying, “You’ll come to me on your own, daughter.” As Detective Jung-hyun begins to suspect Se Yeon herself, the tension rises, suggesting a twisted and unpredictable story ahead. Viewers are left wondering whether Se Yeon will be able to escape the trap her father has set or fall victim to his cruel game.
With a bold storyline and intense visuals, 'The Hunter with a Scalpel' heightens genre thrills to the maximum. The series will premiere on June 16 on Disney+, with a total of 16 episodes to be released over a span of four weeks.
