Hunter with a Scalpel – K-drama Episode 13 Recap & Review
Episode 13 of Hunter with a Scalpel begins with Eun-seo seeing all the bloodstains inside the van while Se-eun enjoys her birthday gifts. Unfortunately, Choi Min-guk arrives and catches them. Eun-seo throws a liquid into Choi's face, grabs Se-eun's hand and runs into the woods. But as her father's words keep ringing in her ears, Se-eun comes to a stop despite Eun-seo's protests.
At present, Jung-hyun and Se-hyun both are rushed to the hospital. The other detectives are there too and Hong Jin-woo realises that Jung-hyun's suspicion about Choi Min-guk was correct. At the police station, Chang-jin finds a photo from the Blue Barrel case of a man named Go Doo-sam. But the man in the picture is none other than Choi Min-guk.
Back at the NFS, Doctor Cheon overhears Joon-kyung and Kim Myung-kwan talking about Se-hyun. She realises that Se-hyun never falsified any reports and tries to stand up for her. Meanwhile, Choi Min-guk makes little Se-eun sit with a bucket over her head as punishment for her trying to help Se-hyun.
In the hospital, Se-hyun wakes up and we learn that Jung-hyun pulled through as well. Hong jin-woo then finds CCTV footage of Se-hyun hiding her notebook inside a grocery store. He takes it to Se-hyun and begins questioning her, but she stays quiet.
The other three detectives go to Haryong to look into the Blue Barrel Case. On the way, they discuss how Choi Min-guk must have faked a limp all this time. While questioning the residents of the town, a woman tells the detectives that Choi Min-guk was not Go Doo-sam. His real name is Yoon Jo-kyun. He was in a relationship with a woman named Lee Jung-mi, but he didn't treat her well. Jung-mi then left her daughter with Jo-kyun and then ran away with Go Doo-sam.
Hong keeps trying to question Se-hyun. She agrees to reveal everything if he sets up a press conference. By speaking at the press conference, she explains that Choi Min-guk will come after her and they can catch him.
Jung-hyun wakes up in the hospital and sees the press conference on TV. Se-hyun goes up in front of all of the reporters and says she is the daughter of Yoon Jo-kyun, outing both of them as perpetrators of murders all the way from 1999.
The Episode Review
Hunter with a Scalpel Episode 13 changes things up. Choi Min-guk is on the run, punishing little Se-eun for her disobedience, and Jung-hyun and Se-hyun find themselves in the hospital. Our two main leads are relegated to bed rest here which means Jung-hyun's team takes up a lot of the screen time and action. And it works quite well!
With the camaraderie established between Jung-hyun and his team, his colleagues' anger and frustration comes off as genuine and their further investigation of the case keeps things interesting. There's still some confusion around Yoon Jo-kyun's connection with Lee Jung-mi and Go Doo-sam, but I have a feeling that they didn't run away as much as ended up six feet under.
With Se-hyun working with the police, I wonder if the show can still keep up the same level of thrill that we got while watching her face off against Jo-kyun. We're in the last leg of the show now, so here's hoping things wrap up on a high note.

China unveils world's largest $50MILLION inflatable dome over construction site – and its use will surprise you
CHINA has unveiled a massive inflatable dome in the middle of a major city to help shield residents from a construction site. The whopping 50m-high inflatable is reported to be the largest of its kind in the world. 5 5 5 Measuring 20,000 square metres, the dome is designed to protect the surrounding neighbourhoods from dust and noise during construction. A viral video shows the incredible moment the inflatable swallows up the building site in the city of Jinan. Viewers can see the dome gradually inflating to its enormous size through a jaw-dropping timelapse. Mao Ning, a spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry, revealed the giant dome in a Facebook post on July 2. The balloon uses negative pressure and air filtration systems to stop construction dust affecting nearby areas, according to Times Now News. Its design is said to allow for easy inflation and dismantling so it can be deployed where needed quickly. The dome is made from lightweight PVDF-coated polyester, with four big fans keeping it inflated. Transparent panels let in natural sunlight, allowing the inside to keep well lit during the day without the need for artificial lighting, the Bridge Chronicle has reported. But the viral clip has also drawn a lot of attention on TikTok, with many users sharing their reactions to the vast inflatable. One user jested: "This is really dangerous because if it gets too big it becomes really soft and a giant might see it and come to take a nap." China's terrifying new giant 'sea monster' war plane pictured for first time - & it's a throwback to Cold War Soviet tech But another said it is "such a clever way to protect both the environment and the people living nearby". "How does one even manufacture a single sheet that large?", asked another. It comes as China continues to face issues with many of its major construction projects. A giant skyscraper in the city of Tianjin had stood unfinished for nearly a decade before construction was resumed. 5 5 Goldin Finance 117, nicknamed The Walking Stick due to its architectural shape, had loomed uncompleted over the city for many years. But work on the £8billion project was halted following the 2015 Chinese stock market crash. Standing at a staggering 1,959 feet, the Walking Stick is nearly twice as tall as The Shard. But Chinese state media has since reported the skyscraper will now resume construction. It will no longer get to claim the title as China's tallest building that had been forecast, however. Two taller skyscrapers, the Shanghai Tower and Shenzhen's Ping An Finance Centre, have topped out since then. Why has Trump hit China, Canada, and Mexico with tariffs? DONALD Trump has imposed 10% tariffs on Chinese imports and Beijing has retaliated. Trump also hit Canada and Mexico with 25% tariffs, but walked back many of them on March 6 China: Trump believes China has not done enough to stop the production of chemicals used to make the drug fentanyl. China has slammed Trump for the claim and described fentanyl as America's problem. The country also said the tariffs are a "serious violation" of the World Trade Organization rules. China is filing a lawsuit with the WTO against the US for "wrongful practice." China serves as a major supplier of auto parts to the US. Phones, computers, and other key electronic devices were also in the top imports from China last year, according to Commerce Department data. In 2023, the US imported around $427 billion worth of products from China, according to the US Census Bureau. Data reveals that 78% of all smartphones imported from the US came from China. Trump's tariff threat has sparked fears of price rises for fashion items and toys. Beijing has responded by outlining its own tariffs on American goods, sparking fears of an all-out trade war between the two superpowers. Canada: Trump ignited a trade war with Canada and Mexico during his first days in office as part of a campaign promise to stop the flow of fentanyl and illegal immigrants into the United States. He said both countries had not done enough to halt the drug flow and the mass influx of migrants from reaching US soil. A total of 59 pounds of fentanyl was seized at the northern border by US agents between 2022 and 2024, according to the Canadian government. Meanwhile, almost 62,000 pounds of the drug was seized at the southern border. The 25% tariffs Trump proposed on Canadian goods were destined to come into force on March 4. Canada responded with a 25% tariff on $155 billion of American imports. On March 6, Trump warned the 25% tariff on steel and aluminium would come into force on March 12. Ontario Premier Doug Ford responded with a 25% surcharge on electricity exported to Michigan, Minnesota, and New York. Trump then threatened to double the 25% tariff to 50%. The Ontario premier warned that he "will not hesitate to increase" the levies or completely shut off power to the three US northeastern states. Both sides then agreed to talk and toned down their threat. Ford then paused the electricity surcharge. Mexico: Mexico has managed to twice postpone Trump's tariffs on Mexican goods. On February 1, Trump signed an executive order to impose tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China. But, on February 3, Trump agreed to pause the levies against Canada and Mexico after the countries took steps to appease Trump's concerns on border security and drug trafficking. Trump then threatened that the 25% tariffs would come into force on March 4. Two days later, Trump announced a delay on most goods covered under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Trump credited Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's progress on border security and drug smuggling as a reason for the pause on the levies. The Mexican Navy has seized thousands of kilograms of drugs from criminal gangs. Sheinbaum promised to deploy 10,000 extra troops to the Mexico-US border. Still, Trump has maintained that on April 2, the US will begin imposing reciprocal tariffs on all its trading partners, including Mexico.

Foreign Office issues urgent warning for UK holidaymakers travelling to tourist hotspot as failing to abide by new law can result in jail
The Foreign Office has issued urgent warnings to UK holidaymakers travelling to a popular tourist hotspot. The new warnings come as sun-seekers prepare to flock to Thailand in search of sandy beaches and cheap drinks over summer. But the government has encouraged visitors to familiarise themselves with local legislation before travelling as failure to abide by the laws in Thailand can result in jail. Some of the new warnings cover drone flying, gambling, drinking and public behaviour. The new laws come after a series of incidents of foreign visitors being inebriated in public and causing disturbances in local venues. One of the updated laws explains that while flying a drone is not illegal in Thailand, if the equipment hasn't been registered then it is an offence. They added it must be flagged to Thailand's National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) within 30 days of entering Thailand or purchasing a drone in Thailand even if you do not intend to fly it. Failure to do so could land you with a 100,000 baht (£2,281) fine, five years in prison or both. Several areas of Thailand also have different regulations and it's up to tourists to contact the NBTC to find out. Another warning is the zero-tolerance approach to illegal gambling. Thailand doesn't have any legal casinos, it is strongly against any underground gambling rings and that unofficial gambling could result in detention or even imprisonment. The government website also warned that in Thailand it is illegal to carry more than 120 playing cards and strongly suggested that visitors simply avoid gambling in the country altogether. The Foreign Office also noted differences in cultural practices relating to drinking and smoking and even dress. The new rules advised tourists that smoking in public in Thailand is illegal and can land you with a fine of up to 5,000 baht (£114). It added that e-cigarettes and vapes are also illegal and just having them in your pocket or bag could get you fined or imprisoned. The rules added that conditions in Thai prisons were notoriously tough and said: 'Conditions in prisons and other detention facilities in Thailand are harsh, with limited access to healthcare. Detainees have died in custody.' The new rules urged visitors to be mindful of their drinks too and stated that sexual assault can easily happen in tourist areas. In one video captured earlier this year a drunk British husband (pictured) flew into a rage and yelled at a waiter at a restaurant in Thailand They urged: 'Do not leave your drinks unattended or accept drinks from strangers' as well as being aware that alcohol served in many Thai establishments can be stronger than in the UK. The new rules come after a string of incidents involving British tourists who failed to follow the proper precautions. In one video captured earlier this year a drunk British husband flew into a rage and yelled at a waiter at a restaurant in Thailand. David, 60, was collecting his Thai wife when he became aggressive at the Lee Zaab restaurant in Nakhon Ratchasima province. The couple left together but the retiree returned to the restaurant and launched a furious, drunken rant at the diners and staff. Police were called to the scene and eventually managed to calm him down and it is unknown whether he received a fine for his behaviour. Similarly two tourists in December last year had to be wheeled back to their hotels in trolleys by police after getting to drunk to walk. Authorities stepped in to help the girls, aged 19 and 23, back to their rooms after concerned partygoers failed to rouse them at bars on the party island of Koh Phi Phi in Krabi, Thailand, on November 29. Sergeant Major Saneh Jualaong stepped in to stop anybody taking advantage of them, borrowing a pushcart from a shop on the pier and wheeling the pair back to their accommodation. Their friends later helped to carry them to their rooms and hauled them onto their bunk beds, with the kind officer placing a blanket over one of them. In an incident in November, last year, a British tourist was rescued in Thailand after he fell from a hotel balcony while allegedly intoxicated and covered in faeces. The 51-year-old was staying at a hotel in a popular red-light district in a coastal resort city. Staff said they heard groans and banging in the room but thought nothing of it - until the man's legs tore through the ceiling of an adjacent internet café. The café, packed with late-night gamers, was thrown into chaos as the naked holidaymaker cried for help with his legs dangling through the floorboards, resulting in the police being called. Paramedics said they found the tourist in a dazed state and covered in excrement while half-lodged in the ceiling.
