Hunter with a scalpel

Seo Se-hyun (Park Ju-hyun), a forensic pathologist of rare intelligence, is renowned for solving the most complex cases thanks to her acute sense of analysis and exceptional autopsy skills. But behind her composure and apparent mastery, she hides a troubled past. During a post-mortem examination, she makes a chilling discovery: the murder's modus operandi strangely matches that of a serial killer she thought had disappeared forever... her own father (Park Yong-woo).

Convinced that he's still alive, Se-hyun decides to hunt him down in the shadows, determined to find him before the police do, even if it means crossing the line of the law. As she plunges into this inner hunt, she crosses paths with Jung Jung-hyun (Kang Hoon), a detective with the opposite sensibility to her own. Where she acts coldly and logically, he shows humanity and faith in human nature.

Between psychological tension, family secrets and moral confrontations, Hunter with a Scalpel weaves a breathless thriller carried by a duo as contrasted as they are unexpected.
