You know it's Korean fantasy when there is an old woman selling old stuff on the streets, overpass, underpass, and speaks about times of old. And then … boom … a miracle.
I read that article you linked and nowhere on its page it references this as Blue Orchid.
Apologies, I typed the wrong intro, it should be "Ghost Orchids" not "Blue Orchids". Updated the post to reflect the correction.
Anyway, "Blue Orchids" do exist though there are only two known species and none are "Ghost Orchids".
So, as far as the "Little Women K-drama Blue Ghost Orchid" goes, it is fiction. There are two other Ghost Orchid species but I can not find information on those. One from China and another from Indonesia, if I remember correctly.
What the K-drama screenwriter did was to combine these elements together. "Ghost Orchid" species are rare + Blue orchid (only two orchid species are blue) + the reliance of Ghost Orchids with a fungi = "Little Women Blue Ghost Orchid" that is super rare, establishing the importance of the flower.
Of course, we'll see where they'll go with it and if they're going to drop a real Scientific name or a fiction one.
You will have to wait for GMA to release an official English subtitle; or fansubbers who are not in the Philippines and/or not located in the Philippines to do it--since it is Copyright infringement, thus illegal, to provide translations and subtitles without permission from the Rightsholder.
It's scientific name is: Epipogium aphyllum, and there is also Dendrophylax lindenii another ghost orchid.
E. aphyllum grows in Europe and northern Asia, and are actually rare. It is illegal to touch, take, or as simple as disturb, the flower from its habitat. While D lindenii is usually found in Florida and Cuba.
