Exhilarating

We have been waiting for Lee Joon Gi return nearly two years.

So it’s started with him tied up underwater in a swimming pool. So the first minute already tension for us viewers seeing our favourite in that position - locked up underwater struggling.

The daughter is scared of her grandmother. The grandparents aren’t very friendly no wonder she is scared. They are stoic and taciturn.

So far I just love it. It's exciting and scary although he is seen to be a killer I can see how he can justify what he does. During his school life he was harassed by bullies and then in his young adult life one of his friends stabbed him and stole his wallet. I love his acting and the drama certainly keeps you on your toes and wanting to know more. So we are waiting for the next episode.

The kiss was sweet and beautiful and yes very hot but I thinks it's normal for married couples who still totally love each other to show passion in their private kisses in their own home.These two have very strong chemistry so why not show it.  Love this drama so much so far.

It’s so exciting and scary and I’m going to say it now right in the beginning I don’t believe out hero that we love so much is a killer. The part where he is tied up underwater is so terrifying.

My theory so far:
That Lee Joon Gi’s acting, his eyes and faciles are always descriptive and tell so much about how he feel and thinks. The way he gazes, concentrates and the movement of the muscles on his face. Each drama he plays is so ingenious, tremendous, and incredible. As I have been watching this drama progress I believe his sister is the one who killed the guy she was protecting her self from being raped. Then the brother takes the knife and acts that he is the one who killed the head man. That’s my theory so far. I’m excited to discover the real truth of behind this brutal saga of mysteries, but I don’t believe that he is a killer everything so far is circumstantial. I believe that he truly loves his wife and child but because of his experiences he thinks that he is the same as his father.

Woah! These two Moon Chae WonCha Ji Won and Lee Joon Gi/Baek Hee Sung get some hot and heavy action in this drama. It is actually more natural that this happens as they have been separated for awhile and they have both been through a traumatic experience. So it’s normal to release all of their tension throughout their sexual expressions. Too much Lee Joon Gi, bring it on. This story is compelling and intriguing. It is holding me spellbound and captivated with all of its twists and turns.

Seo Hyun Woo Kim Moo Jin has met up with his first love (Jang Hee JinDo Hae Soo) who is also Baek Hee Sung’s sister. He’s all nervous and babbling like a lunatic. He’s getting all romantic and she is flabbergasted. Then she tells him she killed the village Headman. (Just like I suspected). Seems like the sister loves and adores her little brother and just like he feels the same about her. She’ll do anything to protect him same as him to her. So they are very close siblings but haven’t kept in touch. So they will protect each other. They have always protected one another. He listens to her and follows her directions as he the younger sibling.

Baek Hee Sung is perceptive he knows that Kim Moo Jin is still attracted to his sister and is getting irked with him giving sad eye and long looks at his sister. So he tells him that his real objective is to get back with his sister. Then he reminds his sister that she and Kim Moo Jin broke up because he said she had creepy eyes. Kim Moo Jin called him abnormal, useless and has no human feelings.

Meantime Baek Hee Sung and Cha Ji Won are going to visit the fathers old workshop at night time (scary). She is putting him through hell. She put him under psychological pressure, she is killing him. Personally as a viewer I can’t help but feel for him. In other words I just can’t stand it. Its like she is deliberately setting him up to break him down. Lee Joon Gi you are an outstanding actor.
He(LJG) is unbelievably handsome now and his multi-talents make us cling to him like there is no tomorrow. Each moment watching him perform is ecstatic, rapturous. and thrilling. He enchants and delights us. We can't wait for the next moment of his drama. At the moment its "Flower of Evil".
He said that he doesn’t love his wife Cha Ji Won. He doesn’t know what love feels like. So sad because she heard him say it.
The music is so powerful and compelling in this drama that it moves your heart and makes you want to stop and just listen to it. It goes so perfectly with the visuals.

I knew from the very beginning that this drama was going to upset me and make me cry but because of Lee Joon Gi I couldn’t resist watching it. Now I’ve got to the part where he’s heart broken and so who else’s is heart broken. Yep! All of us viewers are just distraught that he’s having a bad time. He is in such pain he can not leave her. He doesn’t know that it is because of love for her.

I know how Moon Chae WonCha Ji Won feels as her husband is going into unknown turf to find the truth of his past. It is so stressful. I’m holding my breath that we can get past this. I feel for the two of them. They are both impressive actors drawing us all into this web of deceit, intrigue, lies and coverups. A puzzle that is slowly unfolding.

Finally and slowly the story is starting to come out and we are learning who the bad guys are. An exceptional and superior story is being revealed here by these magnificent characters. Every episode is electrifying, thrilling and dramatic. I’m hardly making it pass episode 11.
Love this. When he starts crying he can't stop. Reminds me of myself. Then he doesn't know why he's crying so terribly, sadly sweet. He has loved her for 14 years but it the first time that he has acknowledge his deep and passionate love for her. Then knowing it makes him cry. He's hidden it even from himself but his actions have spoken louder than his words. She has always known it.
I keep watching bits of this drama over and over drinking in every moment of his scenes. I’m so addicted.
In the episode 11, Do Hyunsoo finally realizes his love for Cha Jiwon and lets out an emotion for the first time, breaking down in tears. It’s as if the floodgates just opened, he was completely awash with emotions, a mix of confusion, fear, and pain, which Lee Joongi depicted so thoroughly in his heart-wrenching performance, leaving viewers brokenhearted.
“Kim Moojin is a difficult character because he’s hard to pin down. But Seo Hyunwoo has done a wonderful job of making him a vivid character. At the gathering he had with Hyunsoo and Haesoo, I realized once again what a valuable presence he is in our drama, like an oasis in the desert.”
What we have found out the real Baek Hee Sung is the accomplice of Do Min Seok but has been in a coma for 14 years because after he hit Hyun Soo with his car his mum discovered the souvenirs of his work in his bedroom. She found him burying a living Hyun Soo in their garden and she stabbed him. It put him in a coma and they then swapped identities. So 14 years of a peaceful existence but now, is it the reign of terror now he has awoken from his long sleep? He’s killed the housekeeper.
The tension:- Woah! Scary! My heart is beating so fast. I haven’t even watched it with English sub so I don’t really know what is going on but I’m terrified for all the characters I really care about especially Hyun Soo and his family. I want them to be safe but the writers and producers are drawing every bit of emotion out of us. We are petrified for them all. That killer Baek Hee Sung is a nightmare. I wonder what made him like that.
The Baek are one step ahead of them.
Now Jeong Mi Sook the last victim of Do Min Sook and Baek Hee Sung has appeared out of the woodwork. She is being held captive b Yeom Sang Chul the people trader. Another twist. Her husband was the one who tried to drown Hyun Soo. Now he is being threatened again. It implies that his family is not safe. He is losing the control that he held together for 18 years.
Episode 14
So scary! Now Beak Hee Sung has stabbed Haesoo and taken Cha Jiwons name tag. He’ll know what she looks like. Does he know that it wasn't her that he stabbed? Still so many questions. At least he didn’t take the little girl Eun Ha but please save Haesoo. Why did Cha Jiwon let Haesoo take her baby home?Haesoo will do anything to protect her baby brother as he has done the same for her.
I feel for our hero. Let's hope we get out happy ending. This is the best romance in a drama our Prince has ever had but it’s so scary. He's such a thrilling actor that has all the moves but can he win against the real serial killer.
Episode 15
I feel so nervous going to open this episode. I saw the trailer and I’m frightened for Hyun Soo and his family. I hope they are going to be okay and that Haesoo is going to survive the stabbing and Eun Ha is safe.
This drama has a big reveal at the very start of the episode then and epic cliffhanger end and this beginning is scary. Kim Moo Jin meets up with Do Min Sook in the basement he is exploring. He tell him that the thing struggling in a large sack is a deer.

Oh! The tension is so much when Hyun Soo is explaining to Jeong Mi Sook what is going on and she is like a scared deer in a cage. He thinks he got it all worked out and I hope that he does. I can’t handle it I’m taking a breather……………….go get a drink. He so fascinating and he gets that tiny little twitch on his lower right cheek. It’s hardly noticeable but it makes him unique and totally believable and makes us just watch him so closely. As an actor he just the bomb.

English subs haven’t come out and I’m doing this by guess. It’s so harsh what he has to go through. I’m crying again. Baek Hee Sung was taunting Hyun Soo but both didn’t know the truth. We had that dramatic irony. The audience knows but the players don’t. Then Hyun Soo turned the tables and was making Baek Hee Sung fearful when he HS was describing what he was doing to do to him. Now he’s just distraught thinking that Cha Jiwon is dead. So he’s out to kill the killer but not straight away, he’s stabbing him and letting him go. Then chasing him again.
This part of him terrorizing his opponent is comprehensible and explicit. As a viewers we understand his heartbreak. This drama is just so superior.
What an episode end. You better not let him die …… writers
Episode 16
The last episode and I have watched without English subs. It is sad but we do get our happy ever after but not until we have been dragged those the mud with his brain injury causing to relapse into his Alexithymia. Then relearn about his love for his wife and child. She was patiently waiting.
In their discussion n the car they are trying to clarify their true feelings for each other but coming to no conclusion. Since he has forgotten about their 14 years together. His mind has forgotten but his body remembers. He keeps buying egg tarts his daughter’s favour snack. Moo Jin’s fridge is full of them. He doesn’t know why he keeps buying them. He doesn’t remember his daughter. She is so sad because she hasn’t seen him.
He is such a wonderful actor.
I loved this drama so much the acting of Lee Joon Gi is impeccable. He knows how to draw out our deepest emotions.
I'm going to really miss this cast. Congratulation on your superlative production. The music I must mention was just superb it helped to pull at the heart strings and I played them over and over. Its not often that I get hooked into the music as well.
