Even though MONEY FLOWER is not being recapped, I had no idea I'd find it here among the videos. I see in the Open Thread and What We're Watching comments that Beanies are watching.

Could it please be included in the list so we can add it to our Favorites? It has been consistently great from the get-go. Jang Hyuk is knocking it out of the ballpark yet again.

I just found this! Please Dramabeans...can't understand how you could let this one pass by without reviewing it. Recaps not needed but your opinions would be appreciated. It's a tense, character-driven plot with Jang Hyuk delivering a taut, layered character that yells out he has wounds, yet does it by using a stony silence that flickers with anger and quietly burns with a passion for revenge and a deep yearning for his first love. Truly, a great drama.

I've been wondering about the title, and it suddenly hit me in the wee hours. I hadn't realized at first that the protagonist's adoptive father had been a beekeeper. Now it all makes sense. Money is the flower that attracts Evil Grandpa and his clan. What he doesn't know is that some plants have poisonous nectar. All the while, Jang Hyuk floats like a butterfly, and is gearing up to sting like a bee. ;-)

I like your interpretation of the title, @pakalanapikake! Perhaps like his grandpa JH is the beekeeper who is successfully managing all these aggressive bees who are hungry for the money honey with the smoke torch in his hand.

LOL! I don't think any of the Jang clan are bees. They're all wasps and hornets, which can sting repeatedly. Honeybees die when they sting, and I don't see any of those nogoodniks making that kind of sacrifice.

Evil Grandpa seems to have a King Taejo complex the way he pits his grandsons and everyone else against each other. I don't see him as a beekeeper, either. All the apiarists I know are wonderful people who collaborate with nature. I think he's more like a patron of dog fights, cock fights, and bare-knuckle fistfights. A real sweetie, that guy. I can't wait for his long-lost grandson to co-opt the conglomerate, and then destroy it (while laughing all the way to the bank). I'm hoping he can then retire to the country and hang out with the bees.
