First: I disagree with the idea of killing people, even criminals, to save other good people.((And who knows,…
So far, in Bloody Flower, I don’t think Lee Woo Gyeom has crossed an unforgivable line yet. His logic is disturbing, but within the framework he follows, it makes sense: a truly despicable criminal dies so that an innocent, seriously ill person can be cured.
The problem is that we still don’t know what kind of criminals these people really are, and that matters. Not every crime carries the same moral weight.
I want to be very clear about my personal stance. People who take pleasure in torturing, terrorizing, or psychologically destroying others, rapists, abusers of the weak, fraudsters who exploit desperate families, manipulators, extortionists, sadistic killers, and anyone who consciously causes pain, suffering, or death to others for personal gain do not get my sympathy. Not even a little. I would rather see one innocent, sick person healed than see two of these people continue to live.
Of course, he cannot know whether the people he saves will remain innocent. They could become criminals themselves later on. If that happens, in my opinion, they could just as easily become part of the experiment as well.
However, this logic only holds as long as it remains controlled and purposeful. The moment it becomes about curiosity, ego, or personal satisfaction, all justification is lost.
After the second episode, I still don’t feel I can judge Lee Woo Gyeom as either innocent or guilty. It’s too early to say, and I need to see more of his actions before making that call.
I honestly can’t understand why so many people are into SML… every single time he appears in a scene, I have to skip it. He’s absolutely unbearable, and I literally get goosebumps because of his character >.< it’s that bad. And just to be clear: I’m talking about the character, not the actor—he’s actually doing a great job. But this character? Zero appeal. None. Everyone has their own taste, I guess. I just hope most fans like him for his acting and not for the character in the drama. I still have a tiny bit of hope left for this world… not much, but hey, hoping is human :D :D :D
I think KDramas have ruined me 😂 Every time Baek I-Seok (District Court Chief Justice) shows up, I’m just waiting for him to do something evil. Probably because he so often plays shady characters 😅 I just can’t shake off that uneasy feeling when he’s on screen.
I can’t stop laughing. That pool scene absolutely killed me. I had to pause it because I was laughing so hard and had to come here and write this. Too good. The way he just takes off and runs away from him — I’m done 😭😂
Now that I’ve watched episode 7, I honestly can’t even fully blame Se Na for not getting rid of those things. He was her first great love, and feelings like that don’t just switch off overnight. I actually expected her to still have everything — posters and all — still hanging on the walls in a storage room. So in that sense, I can understand her side too.
That said, I still think she should have mentioned it. Like Ra Ik said, he probably would have found a way to deal with it, and I genuinely believe he might have trusted her eventually — even with the whole fan-related aspect.
So yes, I can see both sides now.
I’m definitely curious about the next episode. At this point, I really feel like it’s either the CEO, the manager, or both.
And on a completely different note — what is wrong with Kwak Byeong Gyun? He seriously gets on my nerves. I was actually relieved when Se Na mentioned his father, but what he said to her afterward was just awful. I really hope he gets what he deserves, and I really hope they don’t suddenly give him a full 180-degree turn and portray him as some kind of nice guy.
I honestly don’t understand the hate towards the ML at all. At first, the whole situation almost felt awkwardly funny – that moment of “oh, he’s about to notice something.” When I realized he would find the things after entering the room, I even giggled because of the anticipation. That reaction felt natural. But the moment he opened that box and saw everything inside… it completely shifted. It instantly stopped being funny. It became deeply uncomfortable and, honestly, unsettling. Maybe it’s because I’m very empathetic, but the laughter genuinely disappeared for me. Watching that moment felt eerie rather than entertaining. Please don’t forget his past. And please don’t forget that she never mentioned any of this to him — not once. He discovered posters and personal items about himself at the home of someone he trusted, without any warning or context. For me, the moment that box was opened, the joke was over.
Oh man… I completely forgot why I usually avoid watching C-dramas like this while they’re airing, or why I wait until the ending is out and spoil myself by reading the comments first. To be honest, I should have expected an ending like this — I knew it was possible — but somehow I really pushed that thought away and didn’t want to believe it would actually happen. Endings like this just give me headaches, frustration, and honestly… a bit of depression. Almost all the good characters die. In the end, she goes back to the past — like some kind of loophole — and has to go through everything all over again, only to end up at the exact same point. But I really have to say this: the casting was absolutely perfect. Every actor fit their role so well, and the performances were genuinely impressive. I was especially attached to the three dragons — I truly loved them. Overall, it’s still a beautiful C-drama and one that I do recommend watching. People who enjoy these kinds of endings will probably love it even more. For me, the ending definitely ruined parts of it, but it doesn’t destroy the drama as a whole
Your points are so valid! other than the stalking, the double standard part also applied to the way his team treated…
It honestly really upsets me how everyone is shocked that he insulted the two of them, yet the fact that they broke into his place seems to be completely ignored. That alone doesn’t sit right with me. And the way the agency reacted? That doesn’t feel normal at all either. I can’t shake the feeling that they might somehow be involved in the break-in. The question is why. Maybe to stop him from finally gaining his own freedom? I don’t have all the answers, but one thing is clear to me: something about all of this feels very wrong.
He wasn’t wrong to insult them. If you stalk people, invade their personal space, and ignore clear boundaries, you don’t deserve politeness — simple as that. And the excuse that he’s a star is honestly ridiculous. Since when does fame mean you have to accept harassment, being followed, or treated like public property? Being famous does not mean losing your right to basic respect. What really gets me is this twisted double standard: stalking gets excused, boundaries get mocked, but the moment someone reacts strongly, that’s suddenly the problem. If this is the moral compass of the world we’re living in — especially in fandoms and media culture — then yes, that’s a catastrophe.
Wow, I can’t believe I haven’t left a comment on this drama yet.
I rewatch it about 1–2 times a year… why? Because it makes me laugh so hard—almost every single episode. I’ll keep coming back to it again and again. There are very few dramas that make me laugh this much.
The story is really good too. I was just thinking about what I should watch next… but that question basically answered itself.
Well, go watch some american series if you want explicit violence. Morbid.
Wow, thanks… that’s literally my thought too. I’ve honestly been debating since yesterday whether I should even respond or not. I find it super freaky how some people insist on explicit scenes just so they can ‘feel something’… kind of, uh, delulu? 🤣🤣😅😅🙉 I don’t know… that comment just won’t get out of my head.
Ah, I know that problem all too well! :D Luckily, *Whisper of the Fate* is still running until the 14th. I’m already starting to think about what to watch next—seems like all the good C-dramas are coming to an end. 🙉
I have some kind of trauma when it comes to brothers, sisters, and best friends in stories. Whenever a relationship in that direction starts going well, something awful happens and one of them turns evil. I keep trying not to get my hopes up when watching a C-drama like this, but somehow, every time, I still end up disappointed. :/ :D

To be honest, I hardly believe that the mother wanted him to treat his son like shit... For me, none of that is an excuse... of course he had bad experiences etc.... but still, you don't treat a son like that... apart from the lashes, I mean (I think he really just followed the wonderful rules) but everything else... I don't know, I think instead of crying, when the father dies, I'll unfortunately only feel relief... oh, and in my opinion he's hardly better than his brother...
