This is why thriller kdramas can never be trusted. Flower was one of those rare examples in which the characters were not boring and the chemistry between them was nice, the story, however far fetched, wasn’t absurd, and the plot holes existed but were not so large you could not ignore them, the mysteries remaining seemed to have a logical explanation. It wasn’t a great drama but it was still decent with some good moments, episode 12 was excellent and probably the best of the show. It’s a kdrama though, so just like most of them, the writers could not just trust the audience to care more about logic and reasonable character development than some stupid plot twist. It’s like a mad checkbox list, they have to explore all exciting possibilities for that story and being rational is only a small detail. After lying for no reason to his wife about the accomplice’s identity and having a fight with her about this, HyunSoo would never not tell her that they were being threateaned and not knowing would only make her less capable of defending herself and less suspicious of others. If he took her to the home of the guy he thought was the accomplice there was no motive not to take her to that public phone which was so easy to imagine was a trap. He wasn’t dumb for 12 episodes and then plot demanded him to become an idiot. Compared to that, kidnapping her wasn’t even a big deal, because show can always say he did it to make it seem like she was always unaware of his real personality and save her reputation.
Agreed. Slinking off in the middle of the night to the payphone was stupid. I also don’t like the ending bit though. Sure, the show can say he did it to protect her, but this is just pushes the show beyond my understanding. The other thing is that Ji-won doesn’t know he’s doing this all for her sake, so this is probably disorienting and potentially scary for her. When you add this on to everything else he’s put her through, how on earth are we as an audience supposed to accept that she’ll just turn around and eventually accept him again, living happily thereafter? It just doesn’t make sense.
He’ll probably do some time in jail, that was a given from the start because even if he didn’t murder anyone he was using false identity. Now he has also added kidnapping to that, though maybe she will later say it was staged to help him avoid this charge. When all the psycho’s scheme become public he will be portrayed as a victim, besides I bet there will be some kind of sacrifice on his part and some saving her or the sister or both, included.
Yeah, I’ve expected jail time for the false identity and then Hyun Soo reuniting with Ji Won and Eun Ha, maybe in the country side like Ji Won talked about. If I was Ji Won I’d want Hyun Soo to get therapy plus couple’s therapy but this is Korea so time apart will suffice.
Agreed, I was yelling at the TV because this would mess the whole show up. I am holding out hope, though, that this YET ANOTHER case in this show where in the next episode we’ll see a whole conversation that got cut out of the scene. They’ve done that so many times before. I’m hoping this is our OTP working together to fool the accomplice into thinking he’s winning. *fingers crossed* Or else there will be yelling, screaming and hurling of laptop!
Yup, that’s what made me suspect that they may be faking it. I mean, the made a big deal about going over to unplug the recorder, looked right at the camera, but didn’t make the effort to erase the film of him grabbing her and holding a knife to her neck?? Seems unlikely.
I meant to say it will be fine if he used the cameras to stage her kidnapping, it is an afterthought to help her, but I won’t believe their conversation to be fake because I think they have no sound and there were real emotions from both of them for it all to be some elaborate act previously arranged.

Yes, kdramas usually ignore the existence or need of any kind of therapy.

I think I’ll still yell and curse if there’s an omitted conversation — I just won’t be as enraged LOL.

I’ll say even worse things if that whole thing was fake because there was no one there for them to fool.
