Hunter with a Scalpel – K-drama Episode 13 Recap & Review
Episode 13 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. Previous Episode Next Episode Expect A Full Season Write-Up When This Season Concludes!

Hunter with a Scalpel – K-drama Episode 11 Recap & Review
Episode 11 Episode 11 of Hunter with a Scalpel begins with someone dragging Se-hyun away. She wakes up inside what seems to be Mr Choi's van, which is on the move. Back at the laundry shop, Mr Choi sets up the scene to make it look like he was attacked. He's taken away by the paramedics and blames it all on Se-hyun. However, Jung-hyun finds Choi's shoes which match the tracks he saw in the room in Haryong. While Jung-hyun's team suspects Se-hyun of all the murders, he suspects Choi Min-guk. However, they are suddenly joined by Director Kim Jin-rae, who says the investigation will now be carried out together with the Gyeonggi Southern office's team — Hong Jin-woo's team. Somewhere near a river, little Se-eun throws Se-hyun's phone and wallet in the water. However, she takes a liking to her watch and keeps it. Se-hyun wakes up to find herself tied up. Se-eun enters the van and Se-hyun tries to warn the little girl about her father's real intentions but it doesn't work. At the police station, Jung-hyun gets in trouble because Jin-woo thinks he has a personal relationship with Se-hyun and can't think about the case objectively. Jin-woo takes him off the case and Jung-hyun, the loose cannon that he is, grabs the case files and drives off. He goes through the files and finds the name Cheongun Mental Health Hospital in her call records. Meanwhile, Mr Choi is being pampered by the two women from his neighbourhood, one of whom is Se-hyun's landlord. A flashback shows Eun-seo preparing decorations for Se-eun's birthday. At Cheongun Mental Health Hospital, Jung-hyun learns about Se-hyun's past from a doctor who had met her. He says she was found in the woods and ended up at an orphanage. But a nun found that she had cut a cat open and then stitched it back together again. She took her to the mental health hospital, where she was diagnosed with antisocial disorder and labelled a sociopath. The doctor recommended she not be around other children. However, the nun didn't want her to be alone and decided to adopt Se-hyun, showering her with love and affection. At present, the doctor says that Se-hyun's care and affection for her mother don't seem like the behaviour of a killer. Back in Choi's van, Se-eun shares her food with Se-hyun. We then see more flashes of Eun-seo and Se-eun playing together. Elsewhere, Jin-woo holds a press conference announcing a reward for Se-hyun's capture. Meanwhile, Choi calls someone and tells them to prepare two adult tickets on a passenger ship. Sometime later, Se-hyun sees the door to the van is open and drags herself out. Outside, Mr Choi is cooking a barbecue with Se-eun. Se-eun cuts her loose and she joins them. Choi shows her news clips of all her colleagues badmouthing her and framing her for the fake reports of Nam Seung-hyeop as well. Choi says they're going to start over as a family and reveals that he plans to kill Se-eun. Se-hyun, once again, grabs a knife and tries to stab Choi. But he overpowers her and, as punishment, takes a knife to her fingers. The Episode Review Hunter with a Scalpel Episode 11 continues the thrills, the tension, the suspense! Things are dire now with Se-hyun in her father's clutches. The investigation is moving against her and Jung-hyun is the only one who seems to believe in her innocence. Meanwhile, Se-hyun isn't in a position to do much and when she does find herself free, she tries and fails again. Her attacks on Mr Choi continue to feel reckless and hasty, while he seems to predict her every move. However, Park Ju-hyun plays Se-hyun with a subtle desperation that makes it all a bit more plausible. Her scenes with Se-eun and the flashbacks with Eun-seo also offer some softness and emotion which is a nice change from the episode's high tension. All in all, a very engaging episode that makes you want to keep watching. Previous Episode Next Episode Expect A Full Season Write-Up When This Season Concludes!
