I was stressed after finishing episode 12 and 13 in a marathon! Haha! I mean, I was thinking, how can I wait another week after that cliffhanger in episode 13? I mean, ottoke??!! Still loved the episodes tho!
I also understand the frustration on Hee Seung outsmarting Hyun Soo, but Hyun Soo is not superhuman, he cannot always foresee everything. Hyun Soo did not expect the trap because he did not know the real baek hee seung is alive. Also, Hee Seung is a serial killer accomplice, of course, he's smarter.
But, I've gotta say that Ji Won suspecting Hyun Soo was a let-down moment for me. I know the doubt and suspicion may still come to her (especially, she's STILL a cop), of course. It was natural. But, didn't she realize that there could be a trap and someone is framing her husband since she already sense that something was off in Baek Man Woo's house? Maybe she did. I know Ji Won is an honest cop, but, I truly hope before she put the handcuffs on him, she could've listened to him first. I believe, Hyun Soo was truly hurt and felt betrayed because of her decisions. When he said those hurting words, I believe that those were really his real emotions and it was not staged. It was heartbreaking and shocking. However, the knife scene could have been his plan (and Ji Won, although she might have doubted him with the maid's murder, her trust and good memories with his husband might've kicked more, so she had chosen to trust him during that moment).
Btw, the fingerprint part, his fingerprint is not recorded on the ID system, it was never recorded. He did not change Baek Hee Seung's fingerprint, never. And, can someone do that? I understand others saying that he would need fingerprint on getting his other IDs, but I doubt that he did ever use his fingerprint since it will never work.
The Meaning behind the title, "Flower of Evil", shared by its writer, Yoo Jung Hee, below: (πーπ)
“I wanted to share the message that even where evil has been buried, flowers can still bloom. ‘Flower of Evil’ represents Do Hyun Soo’s image, which cannot be defined as black or white or red. It also represents Cha Ji Won [played by Moon Chae Won]’s image, who has to learn to accept a new world after breaking down the barriers inside herself.”
You may want to read this account of a 31 year-old man diagnosed with ASPD, he's currently undergoing treatment:…
I always find his story similar to Hyun Soo. I hope Hyun Soo doesn't turn out as misdiagnosed, although I agree that his child counselor (supposedly a psychiatrist) could have treated him better.
We still don't know yet if he doesn't have an ASPD. So far, from what I'm reading from medical articles posted in the internet he has an ASPD (although I could be wrong, I'm not a professional). But, I hope he doesn't turn out as misdiagnosed (or maybe misdiagnosed in the first place then developed ASPD in the long run then is slowly going towards healing after starting a family). To be honest, many people with ASPD are currently experiencing stigma (like they are cold blooded murderers, manipulated, will stay like that forever, doesn't care about their family, etc.) just like Hyun Soo, so I hope, he will not turn out having a more toned-down mental disorder.
Those dramas are aired on Friday and Saturday while this one is aired on Wednesday and Thursday (weekdays, people can't tuned in to it because of work). But I agree with you that it deserves more, but among its drama competitors during this timeslot, Flower of Evil has the highest ratings.
Why do the good dramas always have a low rating and the dumb dramas have a high rating... Koreans really do not…
Ratings for this drama in South Korea are actually very very high, given that the timeslot is very late (10:50pm) and airs on weekdays (wed and thurs). Among the other dramas that air during this timeslot, this has the highest ratings.
So far, for episode 10, the ratings are 3.659% (national) and 4.701% (seoul).
To those who didn't notice, from episode 6 onwards, Moon Chae Won has lose some weight as she identifies with the psychological suffering of Cha Ji Won. T.T
She portrayed the old scenes very aegyo-gy, but it is actually good acting because it shows the contrast between…
I agree, but I don't think her flashback scenes are 'very' cute. Her acting on flashback scenes on the previous ep was actually like awkwardly talking to your crush (which is just right -- because the guy is scary sometimes), a little cute when drunk but still with finesse (you know, the type of acting that is not not totally like the girl is heavily drunk).
ClassA-Substance is right, he just found out one of his team members has not only been hiding crucial info from…
Some of the cops actually think like him and I seriously hated it. These cops should be intelligent, logical and are not swayed by their prejudices. There is no harm with having a hunch, but being so sure about it instead of being flexible, is the real harm.
Cops today should be logical and factious. The only reason why I like Detective Choi because he's very funny in the drama, but in real life, no.
Question: Now I'm not a detective, nor do I play one on here, but how is everybody not going to jail at the end?…
We don't know yet if nobody is not going to jail.
I'm sure if Do Hae Su ended up alive, she may end up in jail, ALTHOUGH, in her defense, she killed the foreman out of self-defense, since she said that he attacked her first. I still don't know how this goes in South Korea, so there's a chance, she will.
In my own opinion, I think Ji Won may not go to jail if it's proven that her husband is not the killer, hence, she's not hiding a fugitive. Her license may be taken away from her but she will not go to jail.
Do Hyun Soo may not face charges on beating up the reporter, if Kim Moo Jin will not report him. We see that Moo Jin is taking Hyun Soo's side now, so, I doubt that he will press charges about him. Plus, he also kind of understands his intentions now and he really likes Hyun Soo's sister -- so, no, Hyun Soo will not go to jail because of this.
Ah! The whole manipulation of identity thing -- if Hyun Soo will go to jail because of this, the whole baek family aside from their son (if he's really innocent), will be the first one to be jailed, as they are the one who suggested this identity thing. Plus, Í've seen that Do Hyun Soo is issued a new ID which says he's Hee Sung now so...technically as of now, he's really Baek Hee Seung, in my own opinion only. I still don't know how the law works, so I'll apologize in advance, if I am wrong.
In addition, Hyun Soo may still not went away with that identity (theft??) so he may still spend some time in jail because of this. Or maybe not. We don't know yet.
And lastly, no one is not bad here, whether it's outside of the drama or real life. Evil is the absence of good. As no one is perfect, everyone are able to do bad things in life, whether they are little or big.
Hyun Soo, for his whole childhood, he was understood and bullied. His illness has come with this big sign that he's up to no good. Instead of people showing him kindness and his child counselor treating him -- he was maltreated -- experienced forced exorcism, tied up into the tree, and thrown every verbal insults towards him. He was outcasted! If someone still thinks up to episode 10 that Hyun Soo is nothing but only a bad person, they should reflect. Until now, people are giving a blind eye about mental illness, instead of actually helping them, they will push away those that needed their help.
If anything whose really really bad here as of episode 10 (aside from the trafficking agency), in my own opinion, it was Baek Man Woo. Ji Won and Hyun Soo aren't the ones who should be getting divorce, but rather Gong Mi Ja and Baek Man Woo. Baek Man Woo is the one who has manipulated his wife, putting her into her worse everytime. Saying that she's only depressed and should take her medications everytime she tried to speak up! He made her 18 years of life a living hell. He guilt trip her. He condemned her and put so many lies that she ended up being that anxious and depressed. He made her feel pathetic, useless and extremely evil person that cannot get redemption.
Comparing Baek Man Woo and Do Hyun Soo -- whose the one who really manipulated their wives here? Is it Hyun Soo, who, at his best, tried to give his wife a good marriage, worked hard for it, tried to become the good father he never once had, and tried to learn expressions just to become a normal person because he isn't, but still took someone's identity? Or is it Baek Man Woo who encourages someone to kill, has never been there for his son all throughout the important moments of his son's life, worse, gave his son's identity to someone because of his selfish desires, and not only physically but also emotionally tortured his wife?
I also understand the frustration on Hee Seung outsmarting Hyun Soo, but Hyun Soo is not superhuman, he cannot always foresee everything. Hyun Soo did not expect the trap because he did not know the real baek hee seung is alive. Also, Hee Seung is a serial killer accomplice, of course, he's smarter.
