Geum Sae Rok to hunt down Ryeoun in dark thriller Flower of Death? Plot, character details and more inside
Actors Geum Sae Rok and Ryeoun are reported to lead the upcoming drama Flower of Death. It's a psychological crime thriller based on a novel of the same name. According to a report by OSEN on June 26, the two are being considered for key roles in the intense series.
Official confirmations from the actors' agencies and the production team are still pending. However, industry insiders say casting is in its final stages, with filming scheduled to begin next month once details are locked in.
The premise: Murder in the name of medicine
Flower of Death dives deep into a morally complex and haunting narrative. At the heart of the story is a notorious serial killer who justifies his brutal crimes as 'human experiments.' He claims his research could lead to a cure for all human diseases. The drama raises chilling questions about the price of progress and the cost of salvation.
Opposing him are two central characters. One is a desperate father who must save the killer's life in hopes of curing his ailing daughter. The other is a relentless prosecutor determined to seek justice for the innocent lives lost. It's a brutal clash between personal anguish and the pursuit of justice, played out in a legal and emotional minefield.
Geum Sae Rok and Ryeoun characters
If confirmed, Geum Sae Rok will portray the prosecutor determined to bring the killer to justice. Her character embodies moral clarity and righteous fury, haunted by the lives destroyed in the name of science. The actress is known for her compelling performances in Youth of May, Iron Family, Soundtrack #2, among others.
Ryeoun is reportedly set to play the serial killer, an intelligent, enigmatic former medical student who descends into madness. Believing that the end justifies the means, he conducts horrifying experiments on innocent people. He's convinced that his actions will lead to a cure for all human disease.
This role would mark a bold departure from Ryeoun's previous performances in Twinkling Watermelon, Weak Hero Class 2, and A History of Losers. The series will show a much darker and complex side of the rising actor.
Fans await confirmation
Though no official statements have been released by either Geum Sae Rok or Ryeoun's agencies, or the drama's production team, excitement is growing. The unusual premise and character-driven plot have already sparked early interest from fans of the thriller genre. Many are eager to see both actors take on roles that could potentially redefine their careers.
Filming for Flower of Death is expected to begin next month once the casting is finalized and production preparations are complete. If confirmed, the pairing of Geum Sae Rok and Ryeoun could deliver one of the most gripping thrillers in the upcoming drama lineup.

In a statement shared with OSEN, a representative from the agency stated, 'We are currently discussing casting for Good Partner.'

The rumor immediately caused concern among fans of the show, who were hoping to see the original cast reunited for the second season. Social media was abuzz with disappointment. Viewers began to speculate about how the story might continue without Han Yoo Ri, Nam Ji Hyun's widely praised character. Management SOOP's latest statement has brought a measure of clarity to the situation.

Revisiting Good Partner Crafted by a real-life divorce attorney, Good Partner is an SBS legal drama. The story centers around two contrasting characters. Cha Eun Kyung (Jang Na Ra) is a seasoned and high-profile divorce lawyer who views her work as more than just a profession. For her, advocating for clients through painful marital disputes is a true calling. In contrast, Nam Ji Hyun plays Han Yoo Ri, a newly licensed attorney. She finds herself navigating the emotionally charged world of divorce law for the first time, all while dealing with her own personal struggles. The show's first season struck a balance between hard-hitting legal cases and heartfelt personal stories. Much of its impact was attributed to the powerful performances from its lead actors.

Kpop Demon Hunters was inspired by BTS? Directors reveal how song Dynamite became foundation for Netflix's global hit
BTS has taken over our world with its charm, and it wouldn't be far-fetched to say that modern-day K-pop has largely benefited from the group's concepts. Another one of such highly popularized content these days is Netflix's animated film called Kpop Demon Hunters. A tried-and-tested formula for its story, the movie has quickly taken over the viewers' screens and hearts with its simple but heart-touching story, making them ask for more. Now, the creators of the film have revealed how the septet made it possible for them to dream big. How BTS' plans birthed Kpop Demon Hunters Talking about how the film first came to be, directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans shared that the idea stemmed during COVID, as reported by OSEN. During a time when the world was looking for more ways to connect, due to isolation and social distancing, the K-pop team spread their hand for global fans via online streaming. 'We were all isolated and had a hard time connecting with each other around the world. Then BTS held an online concert, and millions of people around the world (including us) were suddenly singing and dancing to Dynamite from their own homes. For a moment, the world felt a little brighter.' The two added that they wished to capture the happiness that BTS has spread with their music in Kpop Demon Hunters. 'We wanted to capture that moment and feeling when a really good song captures people's hearts and nullifies all the discrimination and darkness in the world, and even the demons inside us lose their power,' they added. Kpop Demon Hunters' creators looked for the experiences that the group was able to share with the BTS ARMY during a tough time for the world. Meanwhile, Kpop Demon Hunters has ranked No.1 in 26 regions following its release on June 20. The 100-minute runner captures the story of Huntrix, a K-pop girl group whose members live second lives as demon hunters, and their rival boy group Saja Boys, who are filled with demons.
