This week’s episode comes with the question from the official drama website – “How will Da Hua, Terry, and Guan Jun’s relationship develop, and will Jin Mom find out the truth about Da Hua’s identity?” I then read the written preview for episode 12 of King Flower, which comes with four pretty new pictures that shows Terry and Da Hua in three of them and Da Hua and her mom in the last one. Where is Lin Guan Jun? I lament his lack of narrative importance, but when the written preview doesn’t mention him AT ALL and three of four pictures has Terry and none have Guan Jun, there is something major going on. I may love Terry to distraction but I also want a good drama, and writing off one male lead now is not good for business. Of course the drama could still aim for a Guan Jun-Da Hua ending and he’s merely on the backburner for this stretch, so I shall wait and see. With the typical SETTV Sunday drama length of between 18-23 episodes, we’ve got a long ways to go before things become clear and plenty of issues left to be resolved. The preview shows Jin Mom asking if Da Hua is her daughter, and I’m not sure why she needs to be kept in the dark. Da Hua willingly chose this adventure and now wants to stay with Terry until the year is up. Why can’t she tell her mom the truth and ask for understanding the same way she got from Guan Jun? I feel like Da Hua has been physically locked away in that little store her whole life, emotionally locked away by the limitation of her looks, and Terry’s contract opened her up to a different journey and the question is whether its temporary or foreshadows something much longer. I don’t see Da Hua falling for Terry yet, her casual skinship with him is because she’s so open and innocent without real understanding of intimacy and attraction. Da Hua is all “let me blow on your wound” and you can see Terry rather zapped by her closeness. Poor Terry knows full well what its like to feel the stirrings of something and he’s probably going to suffer even more when he starts to realize he likes Da Hua. It further complicates an already complicated situation, and is such a betrayal in his heart of his memory of Liang Yen that I can’t predict how he will react. I’m also worried about Kai Le, will she out Terry or use the knowledge for her own nefarious purpose?
Written preview for episode 12:
A protest breaks out at a Sheng Da construct site. The angry and incensed protestors refuse to listen to what Ouyang Tai has to say. Da Hua, armed with courage having come from the lower echelons of society, leaps out in support of Terry to calm the protestors down. Can she successfully resolve this conflict? Behind this protest, what dangers lurk?
Ouyang Tai is injured in the construction protest and Da Hua tenderly puts on medicine for him. Da Hua’s courage and considerate nature, little by little it accumulates in Terry’s heart. He no longer tries to arrange Da Hua’s life to be like Liang Yen, and starts being nice to her and giving her space to live as she wishes. He even lets Da Hua go home to celebrate her mom’s birthday. In this adventure, even Ouyang Tai is gradually changing. Will he be able to see the true feeling in his heart?
Today is Jin Mom’s 50th birthday and filial Da Hua goes back to the store to celebrate with her mom. Faced with Manager Du visiting and bringing a big gift, will she recognize her own daughter? Can Da Hua finish the birthday celebration for her mom in the guise of Liang Yen?

I am eagerly waiting this episode, I think Terry is falling deeply!That will be hurtful to see his sad eyes over Da Hua and his guilt over Liang Yen !!
I understand why she does not want to tell the truth to her mom BUT it wil be a big blow to Da Hua mom and I wonder how she wil react!
Can’t wait to see Terry’s sad eyes! Chris W is awesome in this drama and so is Nikki.
Terry’s intense and sad eyes. GUH, slays me each and every time.
Hi! Really wanted to watch episodes of King Flower. Where can I see english subbed episodes? Thanks for the help!
Dramafever has 1-11 with eng subs, so does HuLu plus.
Then Viki has 1-11 but only 11 had english subs the last time I checked..
Thanks, Mari! Appreciate it!
I am going to take a wild guess. I love happy ending but I think DH & Terry will realize they are in love but he dies at the end because I cannot see how he can avoid the legal issues. DH is left by herself and can only have a brotherly relationship with Guan Jun because she is a woman now and knows what love is. What she had with GJ was just a girlish one sided adoration.
Terry dies? Oh heck no. I don’t recall SETTV idol dramas ever killing off one of the main leads, it’s not a weepy C-melodrama. Liang Yen was a shocker but I think the drama always intended her to be a figurehead and catalyst not but a participant in the “adventure”.
I hope you are right. But Terry’s character seems to be karma – sad.
NO! Terry will live and I hope against hope he’ll end up with Da hua!
how about they investigate liang yen death and found it to be accidental? he’s only jailed a couple years for replacing her with da hua. but seeing this is an idol drama, they can somehow navigate around that. i think terry will one way or another lose the company to that cousin, but he will win it back anyhow. i feel like there’s always that mini-arch in most cinderella story. like a mini test – she like him when he’s rich, and stuck with him even when he’s poor. wait did i jump the gun too fast and decided that da hua will like terry?
yesyes da hua will love and like terry
I think GJ and DH are in a relationship too fast. I mean for DH, it’s been years just to get with her GJ gege, but for us viewers, it’s like fast. Usually the relationship in a drama that starts first never last, look what happened to LY and Terry haha. I also find no significant to GJ’s storyline, he’s there, but Terry and DH are carrying the storyline for this drama. I feel like GJ’s character and personality are so second lead as with comparison on other drama characters that I have seen so far.
i knu right? im a TERRY AND DA HUA SHIPPER!
Anticipating tomorrow’s episode so much.
On an unrelated note, I keep getting redirected to some random webpages when I try coming here. Is there a problem? Hacked?
