Lee Ha-nui only relaxed… MBC’s historical drama seems to be in trouble again (‘Flower that Blooms at Night’)

[Enter Media = Jeong Deok-hyeon] MBC’s historical drama seems to be in trouble again. After only three episodes, MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama

The reason

The part where Jo Yeo-hwa, who works with her face covered and says that she must follow the rules of a widow when she went to provide relief to poor and starving people, laments when she sees relief only pretending to do so, is a scene from the story of a person who walks the streets wearing a mask at night. It makes you root for the hero’s actions. So the feelings of Park Soo-ho (Lee Jong-won), who was working to protect the law as a Geumwiyeong officer and learned about what this masked hero does, gradually become the same as the viewers’ feelings. As he investigates her, he gradually falls in love with her.

Jo Yeo-hwa’s father-in-law, Seok Ji-seong (Kim Sang-joong), a left court official, is highly likely to set up an angle with Jo Yeo-hwa’s masked actions in the future, as he is a person who values ​​the law, while the left court believes that saving people is more important than keeping the law. Seungji Park Yoon-hak (Lee Ki-woo) is likely to help Jo Yeo-hwa along with Park Soo-ho in the future. In the end, wouldn’t the story of <Flowers that Bloom at Night> be a battle against a world that talks about laws and oppresses the people?

It is thanks to Lee Ha-nui that the character Jo Yeo-hwa, who lives as a widow during the day but turns into a masked hero at night, was portrayed as extremely attractive. From the dramas <The Fierce Priest> to <One the Woman>, as well as the movies <Extreme Job> and <Alien+Human> In the same work, Lee Ha-nui built her own image of easy-going, comical, and cool action scenes. So, Lee Ha-nui’s attractive image was powerful in depicting the difficult life of a widow who had been living in seclusion for 15 years in a uniquely comical way, as well as in showing the cool action of a hero who beats up bad guys.

The real narrative begins now. One axis is the process of finding her brother, who has lost her anger, and finding out the story behind it, and the other axis is the story of Park Soo-ho, who lost his memory after the death of both of her parents and was wiped out, and searches for the truth. And these cases may be connected to the King Seon case, which Park Yoon-hak, who rescued Park Soo-ho, is secretly investigating with King Lee So (Heo Jeong-do).

The story of a common hero who jumps over a wall and helps the people that even the Lord can’t do anything about unfolds in an exhilarating way, along with the push-and-pull melodrama with Park Soo-ho, who appreciates his true worth in the process, and the curiosity of the mystery that unfolds one by one as they unravel the events intertwined with them. added. However, we have only just shown the setting, but I think the reason why this drama’s progress feels unusual is because of Lee Ha-nui’s charm, which leads the drama in a pleasant way.
