hm but that is not enough to classify as a 'dangerous' secret. is it?
Not in South Korean show business, I guess. Can you name an openly homosexual/outed top celebrity in Korea? I can't, but maybe I just don't know. I mean even a traditional heterosexual marriage is often considered as "problematic."
I don't know. I am watching at the male actors' faces, and they all look like the definition of moral ambiguity. I mean a vocabular could put picture of any of them as an illustration.
I have a weird feeling the FL is going to "cheat" on the ML. But the catch is her lover or a crush is a woman instead of a man (probably, Nana's character). That's why their marriage will have been a sham since the beginning and the ML will manage to marry the top actress despite being a mere prosecutor. He will be ready to become a "beard" for his celebrity wife for his status improvement and her connections.
I don't put "spoilers," because it's not even a theory, let alone some real knowledge about the story, just a feeling from teasers and some moments there. Maybe the rating issue was caused by demonstration/ hints of homosexual/lesbian relationships. I might very well be wrong about it.
They hinted it during the prison assassination incident which gave us very important clues:1. The cure in his…
I agree in general. I just disagree about the final call. You know, there are two types of explanation in media, Watsonian and Doylist. Watsonian is about inside-universe logic, Doylist is from the author's point of view in our world. Yes, Watsonian-wise the characters should have understood the ML survived.
But Doylist-wise in our world people need to be spoon-fed about many twists, details and character developments, especially with secondary screen watching being a common thing. People scroll their smartphone as they "watch" TV, then they complain they don't understand what happens and how the show/movie is bad, And it happens all over social media creating bad publicity for the production. That's why Netflix has been ordering creators to talk directly what happens, make characters explain main plotlines, sometimes more than once, and generally "talk, not show".
Such viewers wouldn't really care about your explanation and subtexts, it's enough for them if their handsome oppa/unnie survived. How? Why? What does it mean for the story/fictional universe or for the concepts/ideas the creators tried to explore? It doesn't matter. It's about their feeling at the moment, and that's it. The networks/studios/streaming services are too afraid to deal with possible backlash, so they put the lowest common denominator as their priority. Unfortunately, it makes media/enterntainment dumber, but that's the reality we are living in now.
Bloody Flower is ending in a few hours, so it's time to put up some promo materials and reveal the release date for this K-drama. It's not like Disney+ is going to have a lot of shows this year.
I would say relationships between two couples of the prosecutor and the defender's sidekicks are lowkey romantic. But we don't see anything specific. It's just a cute addition to the main storyline and a rare moment of levity.
I like Lee Yi Dam, but I have seen her in three projects (Artificial City, The Queen Who Crowns and this), and she has played the same character, give or take, in each of them -- a jealous SFL/recurring character who wants to take the FL's status, fame, position, even man, but eventually is discarded or just dies. I hope Lee Yi Dam will avoid such typecast and get some other roles thanks to her agents or acting chops in the future.
I have a better question. Who was the kissing man? I thought the woman would be Ha Ji Won's character, the FL, and the kissing man would be the ML, her husband. But I am not sure.
To be honest, I don't understand such decisions about not releasing shows with problematic actors (e. g. Second Signal, Knock Off). Hundreds of professionals worked on those productions to make living, including dozens of actors, and their efforts are in vain because of one bad or allegedly bad person.
Characters of Ryeo Un and Sung Dong Il look like a father and a son here. I mean their eyes, cheekbones, hair. I am pretty sure it was unitentional, it's funny, but a bit distracting.

Wow, I didn't know that? Who plays her?
By the way, I liked their boss in season 1, he was a funny character. It's a pity if we won't see him this time.

It's a bold strategy. Let's see if it pays off for them.
This is just sad. But I guess it's relevant for South Korea and the current state of affair.
