Spoilers alert
In episode 5, the suspense reaches a new climax as Se Hyun discovers that her own father, a serial killer she thought dead for 20 years, is still alive.. After recognizing his murder signature at an autopsy, she races against time to find him before the police can intervene.
The suspense builds with the impact of the first telephone meeting between Se Hyun and his father, Jo Kyun (Park Yong-woo). The shadow of the father's threat is felt when, after 20 years of silence, Jo Kyun sends him a macabre "gift": another corpse. The irony of this scene lies in the striking contrast between Se Hyun's palpable fear and the icy calm of his father, who seems to relish every moment of this terrible reopening of their relationship.
Newly-released scenes reveal Se Hyun, plunged into the darkness of an alleyway, confronted with her third victim. Her piercing, determined gaze indicates that she is well aware that the worst is yet to come. Tension mounts as Se Hyun seems to sense her father's presence, the camera following her as she scans the street corner, heightening anxiety and uncertainty about the proximity of their fateful encounter.
The strength of Hunter With A Scalpel is its ability to blend psychology and suspense. The cat-and-mouse game between a daughter and her father, both caught up in manipulative mind games and power plays, promises to be as intense as it is disturbing. The first conversation between Se Hyun and Jo Kyun could well mark the start of a series of violent, psychological confrontations that are sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
