'Flower of Evil' stars Lee Jun-ki and Moon Chae-won as a couple with deadly secrets.
tvN
Would you recognize evil if you were intimately acquainted with it? Maybe not. There are an infinite number of ways to be evil, many of them subtle, almost invisible, and being close to someone does not necessarily make a person objective.
The edgy new thriller Flower of Evil was perhaps named after Baudelaire’s poem La Fleurs du Mal, which touches on how monsters can hide in plain sight. Discovering you cannot trust those closest to you constitutes one of the most chilling thriller plots.
The tvN drama’s opening scene is so frightening that it could be a nightmare, but it might also be an omen. In this scene Baek Hee-sung, played by Lee Jun-ki, is submerged in water, drowning, and his wife, Cha Ji-won, played by Moon Chae-won, hesitates when deciding to rescue him.
Recommended For You
That dramatic sequence segues into their daily life, where these characters are happily married and the parents of an adorable child. Hee-sung seems to be the perfect husband, kind, loving, attentive enough to make snacks for his daughter’s teachers, and supportive of his wife’s career as a detective.
Nothing troubles their idyllic marriage until they must interact with his caustic parents for dinner. After Ji-won leaves, the parents suggest that it might be problematic for Hee-sung to be married to a detective, given his past.
Ji-won is a competent detective and she’s quite perceptive, except, perhaps, when it comes to her husband. While discussing a potential abuse case with a colleague, she notes that if there had been abuse, there would surely be signs.
Comparing the value of instinct versus evidence in convicting criminals, Ji-won and her fellow officers discuss how it might be possible for the victim of a crime to overlook the signs, to not to have known what her husband was doing. It comes down to not wanting to know, they decide. People see what they want to see.
What will Ji-won want to see? What exactly is in her husband’s past? Is he a killer and, if so, can she still love him? It’s a detective’s job to ask questions and those are questions she must answer as Hee-sung’s past is threatened with exposure.
Is Lee Jun-ki's character a loving attentive husband or a cold-blooded killer?
tvN
While playing the role of Hee-sung, Lee is a master at subtly shifting his expression from meditative to menacing. Lee’s resume includes a range of complex, well-executed characters, that play with notions of good and evil, such as his cruel yet vulnerable Scarlet Heart prince, and Tae-won, his character in Two Weeks, an innocent men accused of murder.
Lee’s last drama appearance was Lawless Lawyer in 2018 and his last film role was in Resident Evil: The Final Chapter in 2018.
Moon plays Ji-won with a subtle veneer of never quite feeling worthy enough to be happy. Her desire to hang on to that happiness that she’s not sure she deserves will cloud her judgement. Moon’s last drama appearance was in Tale of Fairy and her last film was Feng Shui in 2018.
She and Lee previously co-starred in the drama Criminal Minds, which was a remake of the U.S. drama series.
A new ice cream shop has its sights set on opening up in Flower Mound in early September.
Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream recently opened two locations in Little Elm and Plano, and two more coming to McKinney and Flower Mound, 2717 Cross Timbers Road, Suite 500, in front of the Kroger store at FM 2499 and 1171. Handel’s was created in 1945 in Youngstown, Ohio, and it has grown to more than 50 shops in 10 states. The shops aim to provide great service, great ice cream and a great environment, said Donnie Robertson, one of the owners.
“All of the ice cream is homemade every morning,” Robertson said. “It’s small batch, with premium ingredients and unique flavors.”
The shops put a modern spin on an old school ice cream shop, Robertson said, with artisan and creative products. The owners bringing the chain to Texas plan to build quite a few more in North Texas. Another owner, Craig Moore, said they plan to have a total of 10 shops in DFW in the next 12-18 months, and as many as 60-70 total. Moore and Robertson said they are “especially excited to bring Handel’s to Flower Mound.”
“It’s an experience at Handel’s, you linger with neighbors and family and enjoy the ice cream, and we needed space for that to happen,” Moore said. “We’ll be in the core of Flower Mound. We were looking for a long time and finally landed on that spot.”
Robertson said Handel’s is “highly committed to community involvement.”
“We want each location to be connected to the local schools and neighborhoods,” Robertson said.

As the cannabis market expands, it's hard to keep track of the many products that launch every week. To help you keep track, Benzinga put together a short list of some of the most interesting new cannabis products.
Therabody’s TheraOne
Therabody’s launched its first CBD wellness brand.
TheraOne is a product line derived from proprietary full-spectrum, high-potency hemp. It features five products: Activate, Recover, Revive, Sleep, and Soothe. The new line of all-natural, USDA Certified Organic CBD products was developed after Dr. Jason Wersland began recognizing the benefits of integrating CBD into his Theragun percussive massage therapy.
oHHo x Omura
oHHo announced a partnership with Omura to launch its first-ever flower product.
Family grown in the sunny, fertile soils near the Green Mountain forest in New York state, oHHo’s hemp flower will be available for the Omura platform, which heats them without burning them -- similar to an IQOS device.
"We decided to partner with Omura because we were so impressed with their technology - the terpene profile of our oHHo flower really comes to life with the Omura product and it is a great way to consume CBD," said James Stephenson, co-founder of oHHo. "We had been very sceptical of entering the vaping market but using flower as opposed to an oil is far cleaner and contains far less contaminants. Omura also aligns with our sustainability mission - its cardboard tubing versus the use of plastics was very important to us."
The Kind LED X²
Kind LED Grow Lights released the X². Developed as the “perfect solution” to vertical racking and overhead grow operations, the X² was specifically designed for close proximity growing. It capitalizes on valuable tiered growing space while maintaining a large coverage footprint.
This means increased harvest weight and quality, and unmatched potential for financial returns on your harvest.
“We are thrilled with the new X² grow light,” said Kind LED COO Nick Schweitzer. “It’s designed for the unforgiving environments of commercial grow facilities, and incorporates features never before seen in commercial fixtures. This is a light that has not only been designed to produce incredible harvests, but has been built to last. We are a ‘plant first’ company and every decision we made for the design and function of this fixture was, and is, for the maximum benefit of the plant. That is something that cannot be said by many other lighting manufacturers, and something of which we are very proud.”
The revolutionary concentric square design and unique diode arrangement of the X² definitively rejects the dated concepts and common shortcomings of popular LED fixtures, offering a more even PPFD across the canopy than the ubiquitous parallel bar design seen in commercial fixtures.
“It is refreshing to have a viable targeted full-spectrum commercial fixture back on a market that’s become overrun with the same White Light LEDs being sold by so many different manufacturers,” added Kind LED CEO Rory Kagan. “The shortcomings of those lights are obvious. Their spectrums include a wasteful overabundance of yellow and green light while leaving plants deficient in the vital wavelengths needed for optimized flowering. The X² will be a game-changer and set the new standard for what a commercial grow light should, and needs to be.”

The Fauquier Education Farm will offer a workshop on cut flowers Thursday, Aug. 6.
Free, open to all and requiring no registration, the session will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. at the farm at 8428 Meetze Road just southeast of Warrenton.
“Growing an abundance of flowers is a big goal for home gardens as well market growers,” education farm Executive Director Jim Hankins said in a press release. “Our cut-flower demonstration is a model of how you could start as a commercial farmer.”
Workshop discussion also will focus on flower varieties and how to cultivate them, Mr. Hankins said.
Though an outdoor program, participants must wear facemasks because of the coronavirus pandemic, Mr. Hankins added.
