I never thought of your theories! You could be right! I think, HyunSoo blackmailed the parents for his accident so the parents had to take him and could have funded Hae Su's education as part of the agreement. It was briefly mentioned on Ep 5 how the parents didn't know he was the son of a murderer and that HyunSoo knew "their weakness." I wonder whether real HeeSung's coma situation came before the car accident because right now, I can't think of any reason why the parents would have agreed to have HyunSoo pretend to be their son. They could have just paid him or have him treated at the hospital after the accident and there's no need to do all that "act." So I assume that the parents were desperate to have a replacement for the real HeeSung. SO WHY should there be a fake HeeSung? More questions.

EP 5 is FoE's most intense episode yet. I knew that HyunSoo didn't want Ji Won in his life because he didn't think he deserved love or happiness, or her. He feels a lot of guilt already and now, he feels that way even more because he thinks that in the end, he will cause her pain no matter what. He knows that he won't be able to prevent Ji Won from being hurt upon knowing his past whether or not he was evil or not. My heart is broken for HyunSoo because it is a constant battle for redemption for him but he can only do so much with the truth being hidden. I do have a couple of burning questions:

1. If it was the sister (as implied by the goldfish keychain) who killed alone or together with her father, I wonder what kind of evidence will be unravelled to prove her guilt and Hyunsoo's innocence? It would be too predictable if it's only a confession by her.

2. If it is finally discovered that fake HeeSung is HyunSoo, I wonder how the drama will explain of the real HeeSung's identity to everyone? Will the real HeeSung wake up and claim his identity? I wish the drama would be able to wrap it with fake HeeSung being called and accepted as HyunSoo.

I am sure there will be more questions as the episodes roll in. Be still, my FoE heart. :)

Viki is obtaining licenses to have these dramas/movies shown legally. The subbers are volunteers so they obviously can only make them WHEN and IF available. If it is a job that they do, sure, they will have deadlines and the subs would have been there sooner. If the other websites are showing them with complete Eng subs, go ahead since no one is stopping you from watching through these websites. Just don't discredit companies and other people who work hard, no matter the industry is.

The subbers for Viki are a group of volunteers. I am not sure if they are being paid. We need to be a little patient with them. Just watch it at Kissasian if you can't wait.

Still waiting for Eng subs to be completed in Viki. It is only at 57% right now. My FoE heart can't wait!!

I have seen reviews of it. I am not sure if it's my cup of tea because it has very little romance in it or none at all(I read in some reviews although I am not sure if it is true). I am currently watching Eulala Waikiki S2 (haven't watched S1) for my laughter medicine. Chief Kim will be next on my list when I need some laughs. Thank you for your recommendation. :)

@lovecolin Yes! #TeamTaek all the way. His character is realistic. Tsundere guys? Who'd actually fall for someone who calls you ugly and bullies you all the time? Realistically speaking, women fall for guys who are nice and sweet to them.

I am sure that Do Hyun Soo is a layered individual. With only 4 episodes in, we barely scratched the surface of Hyun Soo's inner mind. I sure hope that the drama goes deeper beyond trauma because the drama is character-driven. If it only focuses on the trauma and not the underlying feelings and implications that go with it, it would fall short of being a "psychological" drama and just be a thriller.

We are in dramaland so anything can happen. Romanticization of psychological issues such as ASPD is almost expected. Let me know your thoughts when you finish IOTNBO. I probably would only watch it after FoE. I have a feeling that it would be difficult for me to move on from FoE just like it did me with Reply 1988 so I'd need a new drama that would be totally captivating like IOTNBO. :D

Happy viewing! I envy you because you'd be able to watch before I could. :)

This is out of topic but I just tried what you advised me on how to reply with a tag. Didn't see the '^' but I just hit Reply. Hope it works.

I am a rom-com fanatic and I needed a drama to get over Reply 1988. Good thing, this thriller drama came along! So good!

Oh FoE is just short for Flower of Evil. :D

I am into psychology but for some reason, I am not fond of psych dramas like Psychopath diary or even Kill Me, Heal Me. My last attempt at watching a psych drama was It's Okay, That's Love and I didn't even finish it. I am a psychology graduate from many years back (didn't practice though) and I feel that the psychological issues presented in dramas are one-dimensional, limited, or inaccurate. It should not be so simple, but dramas depict otherwise, so it leaves an unsatisfactory taste in my mouth. Nothing against psych dramas though. I love forensic psychology, that's why I loved Criminal Minds (US version) and FoE is close because the story itself is driven by human behavior and shows how one's past motivated the behavior itself.


I don't think he has ASPD. The closest disorder would have been Schizoid Personality Disorder - Schizoid personality disorder is an uncommon condition in which people avoid social activities and consistently shy away from interaction with others. They also have a limited range of emotional expression. However, like many psychological disorders, there is a certain number of symptoms/signs that should be met before getting diagnosed with it and he does not check the entire list.

He definitely is a traumatized individual who needs counseling and healing.

On the contrary, I think on the first date he attributed seeing his father with meeting her in general, since he'd also seen his dad when she confessed. ---> I think this is the reason why I think he feels guilty of something. Him being with Ji Won triggers hallucinations of his father so to me, it either is a strong feeling of guilt because he has found a way to redeem himself (by welcoming happy, positive thoughts) and felt that he doesn't deserve it OR he feels guilty for bringing someone to his miserable life and would like to avoid that altogether.

We all would end up psychologists after analyzing HyunSoo. :D

On a side note: I probably would watch It's Okay to Not be Okay because it qualifies as a psych drama and seemed realistic enough based on the reviews. Also watching it for (ahem!) Kim Soo Hyun :D

It probably would be an open ended drama like CitT. We all hate that but at the rate the webtoon is releasing episodes (one per week), even if 52 episodes (one whole year) are released, that won't still be enough to establish a break-up between SeoJun and Jugyeong and re-ignite Suho and Jugyeong OTP. Unless, the author already decided Seojun and Jugyeong are endgame, then there's not much story to go around anymore since the webtoon currently has Seojun-Jugyeong pairing currently.

They are probably beyond the script reading already because there were pictures two or three weeks ago of them shooting. See link below.

THIS! I am pretty sure it will be an open ending like Cheese in the Trap. That or the author decides to give away the ending for the webtoon by ending it in the drama first. Either way, I just hope #TeamSuho wins. :D

Giddy! I am contemplating between Hello Monster and Train. Guess I will do Train since I was told the FL in Hello Monster is no good. Thanks for the recom! :)

I'd rather that the watch as a gift from his wife, is significant to him, cementing the fact that he is not devoid of emotion or love. He either does not know how love feels (because he has been hurt, betrayed or bullied all his life) or he doesn't think he deserves to be loved or happy (it seems to me that he felt guilty so he rejected Ji Won on their first date, after hallucinating about his father). I am sure that his thought process will be later revealed as we go along.

Well, if Hello Monster does not work for me, I guess I will start on "Train." It seems interesting enough to tide me over with my FoE withdrawals. :D

I am curious to know about Train too. Is this like "W" where there are a lot of twists since there is a parallel world?

True. But that watch with his name implicated him nevertheless. At the very least, he could have just left it at home and not wear it until the coast is clear. He is being chased by his wife (although she still does not know it) after all and he is doing his own investigation so the likely chance that their paths will cross at some point. It is human nature to suspect about things that are seen and obvious, and it is fortunate that the wife is logical and would investigate before she jumps into conclusions. However, finding the watch will cast suspicions nevertheless. It is a little uncharacteristic of him that he wore the watch in the middle of his investigation, considering how cautious he was all those years so he'd be left undiscovered. But this is dramaland so anything can happen :D Curious to see how wife would react to the Watch.

Is Hello Monster no good? I am about to start on it. Don't care much about the FL coz I am after the storyline and (ahem!) Bogummy. :D

I am going to binge-watch on Hello Monster while waiting on the new ep to come out. Need to watch something of the same genre to keep my mind off that WATCH. Lesson learned: Never accept a personalized item with your name if you are going to commit a crime/guilty of a crime. :D

The ep 4 cliffhanger will be the death of me!! Crazy good!!!

I am only on EP 2 and it's so twisted. He plays a good father but in all the wrong ways. I am conflicted and I am normally a straight-arrow person. However, this drama is making me ask whether the actions are justifiable or not. I hate that I love and hate it at the same time. Do you guys what I mean? :/
