• Memorable Quote: “You can take the disciplinary action… or you can go to counseling. Those are your options.”

SUMMARY: The life of a tough, emotionally guarded female police officer changes when she meets a mysterious young man hiding his true identity.

♦ I Should Have Been Promoted. Instead I’m Being Counseled

In “Flower, I Am”, Cha Bong-Sun is a police officer protesting her non-promotion to corporal. She believes she has been discriminated against because she is a woman. However, when you read what her supervisor wrote about her in her official employee file, it paints a different picture. Cha Bong-Sun has poor communication skills, is not empathetic, etc.

She and her immediate supervisor were called into the chief’s office to discuss the matter, and one thing led to another. Before she knew it, she was being given two options: accept discipline or go to counseling. She didn’t feel the need for counseling, but she went anyway! If she took the other option, she might have lost 2 months’ salary.  Also, who knows what her job would be like once a disciplinary action was written into her employee file. Her counselor told her she was suffering from depression.

He Looks Like an Ordinary Parking Valet

Cha Bong-Sun’s life is defined by routine and duty—until she crosses paths with a seemingly ordinary parking attendant who is anything but ordinary. Seo Jae-Hee is a young, self-made multimillionaire who hides his wealth behind a humble job. When Cha Bong-Sun meets him, he is working as a parking valet. Neither she nor the people who work with him know that he’s like an “undercover boss”. He has 50% ownership of the business where he works. Keeping his identity hidden serves two purposes. Purpose 1: It helps him live a quiet life. Purpose 2: He wants to know which employees are productive and which are causing the company to lose customers because of their “attitude”.

Seo Jae-Hee’s past life is marked by hardship: losing his parents at a young age forced him to grow up quickly, working multiple jobs to survive. When he applies for jobs, he says he graduated from Do-It-Yourself University with high marks. His resilience and ambition eventually led him to co-found a fashion brand, but success came with emotional scars. Beneath his cheerful exterior lies guilt, vulnerability, and a longing for genuine connection. When he meets Cha Bong-Sun, her blunt honesty and unpredictable nature intrigue him, challenging his assumptions about people and relationships.

Enemies-To-Lovers?

The chemistry between Cha Bong-Sun and Seo Jae-Hee causes sparks to fly.  Their relationship is electric from the start ~ two stubborn individuals who clash, resist, and then slowly begin to understand each other. Cha Bong-Sun’s guarded heart and Seo Jae-Hee’s hidden identity create tension that fuels both comedic and heartfelt moments. As they navigate misunderstandings and emotional baggage, their relationship matures into personal growth and romance. Cha Bong-Sun learns to confront her depression and trust others, while Seo Jae-Hee faces his past mistakes and the consequences of living behind a façade.

Complicating their budding romance is Park Hwa-Young, Seo Jae-Hee’s business partner and CEO of their fashion brand. She is ambitious, elegant, and emotionally complex. Plus, she harbors unresolved feelings for Seo Jae-Hee. However, it appears he doesn’t feel the same way about her. Her presence introduces a subtle love triangle that tests the characters’ loyalties and emotional maturity. Park Hwa-Young’s motivations are layered—rooted in ambition, jealousy, and genuine affection. She’s a compelling foil to Cha Bong-Sun’s raw authenticity.
