Part 2 of this ask

I apologize if this is too dark for you. Feel free to ignore this if it's too much, no pressure.

Giyu was at his estate when he heard a pounding at his door, when he checked it there was a little girl wrapped in a blanket in a woven basket, it was a newborn with a bloodstained note. It was his kid that he had with the reader after a few passionate nights together.

It was what the note said at least, it didn't help that the baby girl looked exactly like him. But it wasn't in the reader's handwriting.

It was someone else's, it was brief and heartbreaking, saying that the reader viewed them as a nothing and was going to give them to Muzan to do experiments on the child and that they couldn't just sit by and watch, with them pleading Giyu to care and love his daughter.

How would Giyu and the rest of the Hashira along with Kagaya Ubuyashiki react?

I am so over the moon about flower of evil and can’t find a reason to not call it my favorite k-drama as of now, for countless reasons. the amount of times I was on the edge of my toes yelling at the characters in the screen or having crying sessions, especially after each episode’s epic ending already says enough. the plot. is. so. good. And the depth these characters have is *chef’s kiss* Do Hyun Su’s search for an identity. the intensity of family love, couple-wise and between father and daughter. *bawls my soul out* 

I saw a recurring theme of CLEANSING, specifically washing away guilt from former sins. Hear me out: detective Cha Ji Won loves rain; rain often symbolizes rejuvenation, rebirth. Every time Do Hyun Su has an epiphany about himself and gains the willpower to change for the better-- it is in the RAIN. Also, remember that scene where Do Hyun Su and his sister and Reporter Kim were splashing each other with water in a creek when they were younger? In a way, the entire plot of the drama revolves around these three character feeling profound guilt and then working together to wash their dirt-ridden past away. 

*spoilers ahead*

Another thing I’d like to point out is that Do Hyun Su was SEEN as a psychopath whenever he played the role of Baek Hee song. Right when he lost his memories as Baek Hee Song (not coincidentally, the car crash incident), people no longer viewed him as a psychopath. Baek Hee song is the only TRUE psychopath of this story. And right when this horrible killer entered the storyline and woke up from his coma, Do Hyun Soo regained his real identity. the public (and including us, the viewers, at one point) only perceived Do Hyun Soo as a psychopath - as incapable of feeling emotions - but that is a fake façade, and in reality, he is just a victim of childhood trauma. Through out his life, he convinced himself to believe that he was only manipulating people for his selfish benefit-- but that act is actually only truly taken by the village forearm of his past, who manipulated others to think Do Hyun Soo was possessed, in order to steal money. Do Hyun Soo allowed the negative thoughts from his trauma to shape a wrongful perception of himself -- which happens to be exactly how his metal workshop is organized. 

His metal workshop looks cheery and happy on the outside, but inside, there is a dark basement, similar to the basement of his serial killer father. This is how Do Hyun Soo viewed himself, until Cha Ji Won familiarized herself with his workshop better, hence, learning more about him and his past, and loving him regardless of it. Do Hyun Soo has an evil, depressing background, but he was still able to find the good inside of himself and nurture it as if it was like, dare I say, a fragile and beautiful flower.
