-Pandora Beneath the Paradise Episode 11 Recap Contains Spoilers-
Pandora Beneath the Paradise episode 11 begins with Hae-soo meeting Jae-hyun and telling him about how Do-jin wanted to kill her after which he takes her to a safe place. Meanwhile, Tae-ra gets Kyo-jin’s help to plant a camera in Sung-chan’s place so that they can locate the pen drive that is in his hands.
Elsewhere, Hae-soo tells Jae-hyun that Do-jin knew about what his father did because of which he tried to kill her but she escaped. She then tells him about Tae-ra and how she is the real killer of her father, but because the evidence in her hand was destroyed, she now has nothing to prove this.
Jae-hyun then tells her to rest while he returns home to find that Tae-ra has made a mess of the place and destroyed their pictures together. She then adds to this and tells him that she has sent Jiu away which agitates him, but all she tells him after this is to hand himself to the police for the crimes that they have done.

She is prepared to head to the police and hopes he joins her, but Jae-hyun is not ready and tells her that he will not give up his candidacy. Meanwhile, Do-jin finds out that Yeong-hwee had visited his father and after a brief call with her, he becomes determined to take over Kumjo and make sure his father is well.
On the other hand, Jae-hyun goes back to Hae-soo and gets drunk while thinking about what Tae-ra said to him. He confesses that he knew about what she did but because of his love for her he didn’t say anything, instead, he has been betrayed by her for loving her so much. He is worried about Jiu too when he gets a call from Mr Uhm and tells him to find out about Jiu and Pil-seung’s whereabouts.
The next day, Tae-ra gets a call from Pil-seung and finds out that the two have reached their destination safely after which she heads to the police and confesses to having murdered Kim Seon-deok. This shocks everyone, especially when she presents the dress with blood stains on it.
Elsewhere, Jae-hyun is stressing over what happened while Hae-soo continues to whisper into his ears when he gets angered and starts blaming her for Tae-ra’s behaviour. She then presents him with Hanwool’s hard disk which has evidence of what Seon-deok did which can help him get Tae-ra out.
She tells him that she just wanted to get Tae-ra to confess to having murdered her father, however, now she wishes for Jae-hyun to become the president and take revenge on her father-in-law and get her hands on Tae-ra. Meanwhile, Kyo-jin worries for Tae-ra but his mother tells him to believe that she has something planned.
She then talks about Sujeong’s disappearance and the two soon reach the conclusion that she must still be alive because Sujeong and Kyo-jin had once talked about experimenting on a chimpanzee and naming it Red. Elsewhere, Jae-hyun’s campaign office is emptied after his supporters stop believing in him because of his silence over Tae-ra’s scandal.
On the other hand, Hae-soo appears in front of the cameras while taking care of her now ex-father-in-law which shocks Do-jin after what happened between them previously. Later that night, Jae-hyun returns home and reminisces the happy memories he shared with Tae-ra and his family.
The next day, Tae-ra gets to meet Hae-soo and it is revealed that it was her plan to have Jiu sent away while having Tae-ra go confess to the police. She then confronts Tae-ra about the truth that it was her brother who murdered her father and not Tae-ra. She then assures her that she will soon be out and the scene shifts to Hatch.

Pandora Beneath the Paradise Episode 11 Ending
Pandora Beneath the Paradise episode 11 ends with Hae-soo finding out that Mr Uhm is trying to get better doctors for Jang Geun-mo and reveals this to Jae-hyun who then forms a plan to get rid of another nuisance. The next day, the police reprimand Tae-ra and tell her that the DNA fragments on her dress do not match those of Seon-deok and she realises that it was Jae-hyun’s doing.
Jae-hyun puts forth a test for Mr Uhm who fails to recognise what has happened while the former meets up with Jo Yoo-tae and makes him part of his campaigning team. The scene then shifts to Yoo-tae going to the police and telling them that the real killer of Seon-deok is trying to attack him and bringing their focus to Mr Uhm.
The evidence is found and Mr Uhm is brought for investigation where he finally understands what has happened, this greatly shocks him and he dies on spot. Elsewhere, Jae-hyun arrives to pick up Tae-ra and tells her that she is now stuck having to go back to her previous self.
Meanwhile, Do-jin gets a call and lets him know that his father has been discharged, following which the scene changes to Hae-soo walking while pushing Geun-mo in his wheelchair. She then scares him before meeting with Jae-hyun who takes over Geun-mo while she moves to Tae-ra.
The two then smile at each other and look at their plan being unfolded as they assume that Jae-hyun will soon kill Geun-mo and they can easily take care of Jae-hyun.
Pandora Beneath the Paradise Episode 11 Review
This has been another rollercoaster of an episode that brings a new look at Hae-soo’s character who now looks like a child who is entering a revenge mind game for the first time. Elsewhere, watching Tae-ra bend like that because of her guilty feeling may seem right, but she isn’t someone who should be falling like that.
However, the spotlight today goes to Jae-hyun who is stealing hearts with his love for Tae-ra while painting the very psycho vibe that his character is exuding. He has really got a way with his emotions and while we know that this is messed up his charm is too strong right now.
Moving on, Sung-chan’s character has definitely been heavily underestimated and this is a fact proven through this episode because he has more to gain here than anyone else. He could become among the top researchers in the world and get protection better than anyone, however, all this fame comes from someone else’s hard work and yet he doesn’t blink when calling it his own work.
The show is really taking some huge turns and only getting better, and seeing as it still has 5 episodes to go, my excitement and curiosity are only getting worse.
