The JTBC drama ‘More Beautiful than a Flower’ set a new record for its own highest viewership ratings in its 11th episode, adding weight to the latter part of the drama. In the episode aired on the 24th, Haesook’s long-sealed memories slowly awakened, revealing the true identity of the emotional entity, Somi, that has existed within her. With nationwide ratings of 7.0% and 7.1% in the capital area, the drama took the top spot in the non-terrestrial broadcasting time slot. The scene where Haesook, who had lost the meaning of life after losing Eunho, faced her past head-on for the first time left a deep impression. Somi, a manifestation of the emotions Haesook had been avoiding, embodied her pain, anger, and guilt. Ssonya’s (Choi Hee-jin) appearance, leaving a hint about Somi’s true identity by saying, “You can’t stay in heaven or hell,” was an important clue revealing Somi’s essence. The appearance of Haesook’s grown-up son, who is actually a pastor (Ryu Deok-hwan), marked a dramatic turning point. He offered Haesook understanding and forgIVEness instead of long-held resentment, allowing Somi to disappear and Eunho to ascend to the path of rebirth. The ashen space depicted at the end was not just a simple background but an intangible hell reflecting the inner turmoil of those who have not receIVEd forgIVEness. Based on this emotional impact, it is expected that the true, ‘More Beautiful than a Flower’ ending will unfold in the next episode.
