    [Drama 2020] The Flower of Evil, 악의 꽃

    in k-dramas & movies

    Posted

    GOSH ... I don't know what to say ... during today's ep I "had too much on my plate"; I wonder if I will be able to watch the next 5 eps with less emotional involvement.

     

    How hard... how difficult must be to get through those panic attacks... I mean watching so scenes was difficult - and when Ji Won cries - every scene gives me tears to my eye --- it's quite draining and I'm not the one acting... 

     

    This drama is so perfect - but I don't want anyone to die...

     

    I've been wondering if it's really true that his sister killed that old man. Maybe he attacked her or ...

     

    Anyway brace yourselves, the main climax is just about to happen  - I would say that we already had 2 sub-climaxes  - HS finding out that his wife was aware of his identity, and Detective Choi finding the incovenient true about Detective Cha's husband. 

     

    About the accomplice - I do think is the real HS - simple as it is...complaining that your fake son is the son of serial killer when you are the father of a criminal... Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

     

     

     

    NOW - I do have a question - DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW MANY EPS ARE LEFT  till the series is completed? 

     

    Thank you! Take care! Have a great evening or a great day!

    Hello, everyone!! 

     

    I have finally managed to get my account back, and here I am. A big thanks to everyone commenting on this thread; @larus @andy78how have you been?

     

    this drama one of the best drama I have ever seen - hands down, great story line and best acting, I love everything to bits.  

     

    Now... it's quite late here so I'm going to ask you - what do you think about how the story unfolds ?

     

    First I thought that the real HS is just an young man abused by his parents, especially by his mother - there are some moments that show her remorse for events before the incident ( and for the incident) that got him in that bed. However, it doesn't seem like that - I would say that the son has the upper hand or he is more like his father's equal. There is this scene after his 'awaking' when HS asks his father why didn't answer the phone that day, and if there is something more important than his son. It got me thinking...

     

    Is this side of the story going in the direction of human trafficking, including organ trafficking, prostitution and labor slave? It might be...

     

    I cannot wait for today's ep!

     

    Have a great day/evening!

     

     

    P.S. Perhaps - in the end the one who is going to die will be the real HS, this way Hyun Su's identity will not be unveiled. 

     

    Ep 9 - great ending for this beautiful couple!!

    [Drama 2017-2018] Jugglers 저글러스

    in k-dramas & movies

    I'm not sure folks, but Bo Na and her glares give me the kamikaze vibe. Is she going to take down her own boss? If so, it would be awesome. I think she is smart enough to realize that Mr Cutter will never care about any another person than himself. He uses people, manipulate & threaten them and THAT'S IT...and she got the closest clue with her father [almost] being set up. I like this drama because it's about compassion, support, love and more important - it's about TRUST [ FOUNDATION OF ALL CONNECTIONS]. In real life we don't get that much [don't get me wrong - I do have friends and think friendship is something worth fighting for]. I like dramas like 'Jugglers' not only for funny lines or wonderful chemistry, but for pointing at how important is to try and to improve the development and maintenance of strong positive relationships [ with our loved ones, with coworkers and, why not, even with our BOSS!!]. So..Yeahhh, DRAMA please be GREAT till the very end!!

    I must confess that my heart skipped a beat cuz I thought that next week is going to be the last one. Pfiiuu, just 2 more to go. THANK YOUU ,THANK YOUUU for this drama - with no meaningless drama attached. A simple, light, honest one wonderfully delivered by these 2 . My Mondays & Tuesdays are wreathed in smiles and I have started getting worried [since ep 7] about what I'm going to do after it. This is one romantic comedy that I wouldn't get tired to watch over and over again.

    Thank for all the recaps and info provided, I'm so grateful for this thread! Hugs!!!

    I wrote my last post based on the recaps read here [speaking for myself, I love all your recaps and I had a huge smile on my face while reading them ~ they are way better than the ending itself] ~~ and I debated not writing another one [after watching it myself], because I feel like the only people still watching at this point are people who actually enjoyed it and therefore did not share my intense frustrations with the show.  If this sort of thing WORKS for you, don’t hate me or better - skip my post or sue me [Don’t you dare!]

    That said, I HATED this ending! Somehow the magic disappeared. We got a cheesy happy ending [ the last 3 mins]  and I don’t feel happy at all!! What kind of finale was that?! There were a few cute scenes, but SO many frustrating ones.

    The scene which plastered a grin across my face was when MH left. It was clichéd and stupid…

     [he left and came back from USA (like nothing happened) after completing his PhD at Yale or Princeton; he also started eating sweets, bread and rolls which helped him overcome his dissertation anxiety ~ LOL].

    It’s like…it was so simple? The story has been building up for THIS!? I felt cheated [i still do].

    Finale episodes are tricky things. So often, dramas waste their last episode being something other than the show was for all the other episodes.

     I didn’t need everything to be perfect; it just needed to be a reasonably satisfactory finale for our OTP [no cheesiness] and I would have been happy to let it go with one eye closed.

    If I ever rewatch this drama it will only be for the OTP. I’m going to be heavy-handed with the fast forward button and stop at the first 5 mins of the 14th ep -> like that’s the ending. If anyone asks me how many episodes Secret has, I’m going to say 13 episodes with a straight face. [As for now I’m going to remember all those immortal lines and scenes they had]

    My Weds & Thurs are free of agony now! (I’m totally noting down the writers name. For dramas to avoid…)

    But, having said that, I am sad S is over. This is the first kdrama in many months that I’ve followed religiously. Great acting all round and a seriously addictive theme song.

    I had a great time and really enjoyed your company…Please let me know which thread you are going to follow next… Thank you

    What a ride that was. And were it not for those final minutes, I would have walked away feeling a lot more dissatisfied. Not that a happy ending cures all ~ the ending could have been happy or sad, as long as it made sense ~ but „ours” not quite as well.

    Today’s ep as a final ep didn’t exactly wow me, since including yesterday’s. I wanted to love this finale. And for that, I am truly sad.[i shed „blood, sweat, and tears” for this drama.]

    There was an inevitable rushed feeling that came from having so much thrown at us in these final two episodes, yet most of it didn’t emotionally resonate with me as it should have, simply because we weren’t given adequate time to really process what was happening.

    Up until the fifty-five minute mark, almost every auxiliary story going on was more interesting and immediate than MH and YJ’s story, which shouldn’t have really been the case. 

    [at the risk of repeating myself] The drama was good, but the ending sadly never had a chance to be great. I had a good time, so I certainly don’t hate the drama or have any grudge against it. I just wanted more from it, because the story had potential to be much more complex

    I just wish we got the emotional payoff for being faithful to the show.

    I know I know, people will always tell me to shut up and just enjoy it already. But that’s not how it works for me because I like stories to not make my brain & heart hurt.

    Brace yourselves, Secret Society’s citizens ~이제.여기에. 천천히 Now. Here. Slowly

    그만해~ Enough

    처음 하는 말처럼 ~ Like saying it for the first time  ->THANK YOU for the memories, the tears, the laughs, the insomnia, the love, the shipping, the heartache, the heartbreak, the nail-biting, the prayers and the great times. I take my hat off [i do wear fedoras] to you all: THANK YOU …Let’s meet again  ~ 다시 만나요~~~

    Je viens de passer une nuit blanche…C'est vraiment horrible ce sentiment de fatigue sans pourvoir dormir ou même me reposer…J’ai besoin de 6 heures de sommeil pour être en forme… A gall bladder insomnia attack  is always different, always the same. Last night, I was in nightmare mode. In fact I'm struggling to stay awake right now @-) …+ a booming headache.  I need my happy ending, okay? Give me my happy ending full of sunflowers, cutey rabbits and colorful rainbows. Our couple deserves it.

    [feeling more at peace #:-S ] Today's ep * 잊혀진 이야기 ~ Forgotten Story*: Good episode, or frustrating episode? Don't know yet. For tomorrow's ep ~ 다시 한번 사랑하자 -> Let’s Love One More Time  :x  . All this angst would really be pointless if there were no payoff — and a really big one — so I’m expecting a satisfying ending tomorrow [Kids,  wedding & living happily ever after]. Or heads will roll.  [ I actually remain confident that we’re going to get a reunion for our couple, because it’s the only way this drama makes sense.]

     Here we are, the finale's 1st half! Today's ep's title was ~ 웃지마 울지마  ~ Don’t laugh, don’t cry - similar to throw up your hands in defeat and give up. HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE. WHY DID I WATCH YOU? Dear Writernims ~ Ur 15th Ep는 ~I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns. It really took a huge dive in quality ~ everything felt so rushed and some elegance of the first 13 episodes’ was lost. For the sake of my fragile sanity, I'm not going to watch it.  As for tomorrow ~ I don't know - for me this show can be 16 ep long or 13 ep and 10 mins short. Yeahayooo!! I'm done
    I forgot to thank you for all ur recaps and posts ~ 죄송합니다 sunbaes & 미안해 hoobaes * sorry
