Hunter with a Scalpel – K-drama Episode 11 Recap & Review
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.

The Cinderella actress looked in her element as she embraced the beautiful Canadian wilderness.

Seoul to crack down on taxi drivers overcharging and refusing rides to foreign tourists
Authorities in Seoul have launched a crackdown on taxi drivers who unfairly treat foreign tourists during the vacation season. The Seoul municipal government on Wednesday announced a 100-day crackdown to target illegal taxi activities such as overcharging, demanding tips, and refusing to pick up passengers for short rides. The crackdown will mostly focus on airports and tourist attractions such as the Myeong-dong shopping district in the South Korean capital. The crackdown is designed to 'rectify illegal taxi activities ahead of the peak tourism season in South Korea ', said Yeo Jang Kwon, head of the transportation office at the Seoul Metropolitan Government. The base fare for a standard taxi ride up to 1.6km is 4,800 won (£2.6) after which 100 won (£0.05) is added every 131 metres. At night, the base fares increase, ranging from 5,800 to 6,700 won (£3.1-3.6), according to local media reports. Seoul authorities have been organising dedicated crackdowns to address illegal taxi activities since 2015, Chosun Biz reported. Despite these measures, taxi drivers allegedly continue their illegal activities by moving their locations to evade police. Authorities said this year's initiative had targeted 139 cases of overcharging at airports near Seoul and 109 cases of taxi drivers refusing to accept foreign passengers for short rides so far. The new measures involve deploying enforcement personnel for focused on-site crackdowns, expanding efforts based on QR code surveys from foreign tourists, enhancing systems such as taxi receipt labelling, and imposing stricter penalties. Millions of foreign tourists visit South Korea each year, lured by the rising popularity of Korean culture, music and film in mainstream media. Nearly 7.21 million foreign tourists visited South Korea until the end of May this year, up 14.7 per cent from the previous year, according to media reports. China, Japan, Taiwan, and the US were among the leading countries of origin for tourists visiting South Korea. The country is expected to receive a record 20 million foreign tourists this year, boosting sluggish domestic consumption, according to a report by the Hyundai Research Institute. In recent years, foreign travellers have frequently filed complaints about taxi drivers overcharging, refusing to use the meter, or taking unnecessarily long routes, the Korea Times reported. Last year, taxi-related grievances accounted for nearly 19 per cent of all complaints reported to the Korea Tourism Organisation. A taxi driver was caught overcharging a Chinese tourist for a ride from the Jeju international airport to a hotel near Hamdeok Beach, the Jeju Special Self-Governing Provincial Police Agency said in May 2024. The driver collected 200,000 won (£108) for a trip that should have cost 23,000 won (£12.4) and was ordered to refund the overcharged amount of 177,000 won (£95.8).

Lily James strips naked in the Canadian wilderness as she celebrates the end of filming new thriller
Lily James stripped naked in the Canadian wilderness in a photodump from her time filming in Vancouver. The actress, 36, has been away filming upcoming thriller Harmonia, which also stars Carrie Coon, Bella Ramsey and Odessa Young. Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Lily shared a slew of snaps from her time on the beach, in which she was clad in a pink swimsuit. The Cinderella star also posed in a black one-piece and against a display of roses in the striking snaps. Inspired by a real-life events, the film is based on director Guy Nattiv's grandmother and her involvement in an insidious cult. Harmonia is set for release next year. As well as Harmonia, Lily has roles in The Angry Birds Movie 3 and Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo in the works. While Lily has a diverse body of work, she previously revealed that she lost lots of jobs due to living in character as Pamela Anderson during the intense filming process for her hit show Pam & Tommy. The Hulu series aired in 2022 and charted Pamela's rocky relationship with Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, 59, who was played by actor Sebastian Stan, 40, in the series. Despite the role earning her a Golden Globe and Emmy nomination, Pamela admitted she was 'shot to s**t' and 'a real wreck' after she lived in character the entire time. The star said she even spoke to her own mother in Pamela's voice and never properly left character while filming, insisting the difference between her real-life self and Pamela were too different. Lily told The Mirror: 'It was such a screwed-up process. You just have to be patient with yourself. 'The hours are so long and you feel really burnt out. Your nervous system is just like, shot to s***. I felt like a real wreck at the end of it.' The actress admitted that because she is so different from Pamela it was 'too extreme to go back and forth' so continued to play her in real life. She added: 'The difference from me to her was too extreme to go back and forth. So, I had to stay in this middle no man's land of like Lily/Pamela most of the time. I would totally slip into her voice. 'Even when I went out for dinner and was ordering with the waitress or talking to my mom on the phone, I would be American. I think I've lost lots of jobs – because I keep speaking like Pamela in any audition.' Lily had to spend four hours a day in makeup to transform into the star and admitted it gave her 'courage from disappearing' as someone else. Lily was nominated in the Lead Actress category at the 2022 Emmy Awards but was beaten by Amanda Seyfried who won the prize for her role as Elizabeth Holmes in The Dropout. Pam & Tommy chronicles the sex tape scandal which rocked Pamela and her then-husband during their three year marriage.
