When the Camellia Blooms	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })When the Camellia Blooms is a 2019 Korean Series that ran for 20 episodes.note Technically it ran for 40 episodes. Each episode was chopped in half to get around Korean laws against commercial breaks in programs.A young woman named Oh Dong-baek moves to the fictional town of Ongsan with her baby son Pil-gu. The ladies of Ongsan gossip about her because she is an unwed mother, but Dong-baek pays them no mind. She starts up a bar called "Camellia" ("Dong-baek" being Korean for "camellia", which quickly becomes a popular spot with the men in town, who look to a place to avoid their hectoring wives.The other lead is a police officer, Hwang Yong-sik. Yong-sik, who is so good a policeman that he makes arrests almost by accident, still manages to damage his career by smacking around a murder suspect in front of a phalanx of TV cameras. He is sent from Seoul back to his hometown of Ongsan, where he falls for Dong-baek. However, Yong-sik's mother Jung-sook is strongly opposed to her son marrying a single mother.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Another plot thread follows Park Sang-mi aka "Jessica" and her husband Kang Jong-ryul. Sang-mi is an internet "influencer" and social media personality, while Jong-ryul is a baseball player and star of his own reality show. Sang-mi and Jong-ryul pretend to be a happily married couple for the public, but in fact they dislike each other and don't even live together. Sang-mi is particularly uninterested in their baby daughter, whom Jong-ryul is effectively raising as a single dad. Jong-ryul, it turns out, is Pil-gu's father.There is a third plot thread focusing on the "Joker", a Serial Killer who stalks Ongsan. The Joker, who was never caught but has been inactive for several years, now seems focused on Dong-baek as his next victim.

When the Camellia Blooms / int_1606a707	comment	Secret Test: In the last episode Yong-sik grills Seok-yong, who was arrested and charged as being the Joker, why he crammed Hyang-mi's throat full of sawdust and super glue. Seok-yong says it was to shut her up. Then Yong-sik drops the bomb: neither sawdust nor super glue were found in Hyang-mi's throat. He has figured out that Seok-yong is covering for his son, Heung-sik.

When the Camellia Blooms / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: In Hyang-mi's first appearance she is said to be a compulsive kleptomaniac, and a couple of times she is shown stealing small items. That's why Dong-baek's bracelet is seen on the wrist of the murder victim. In the last couple of episodes, after Seok-yong is identified as the Joker and arrested, he seems strangely fixated on getting his glasses back from home, insisting on this repeatedly and refusing to cooperate if he doesn't get his glasses. The reason is that the bag that contains his glasses also contains his son's yellow ear plug, the one that matches the one that a dying Hyang-mi swallowed.

When the Camellia Blooms / int_33fa230b	comment	Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: The Joker storyline seems to be wrapped up in episode 18 with the arrest of Seok-yong, Heung-shik's father—the DNA under Hyang-mi's fingernails matched him. It isn't a completely obvious case of Your Princess Is in Another Castle!, as there seems to be plenty of plot to fill out the remaining two episodes, like the various romances or Jung-sook's kidney failure. But there's still the matter of the unidentified yellow object that Hyang-mi swallowed before she died. Sure enough, the last episode reveals that Heung-shik is the killer after all. Seok-yong had DNA under his fingernails because he was helping his son dispose of Hyang-mi after the fact. The mysterious yellow object? Heung-shik's ear plug.

Other flashbacks sketch out the history of Dong-baek's relationship with Jong-ryul. One particularly frightening flashback in episode 5 shows how Dong-baek was a witness to the Joker's last kill: the Joker murdered Dong-baek's beautician friend while Dong-baek was at the scene, getting a tan inside a tanning booth.

She says he'll have to get a warrant. The final episode reveals why Chief Byun kept bothering Yong-sik about looking into the dog problem; Yeong-sim is Chief Byun's girlfriend.
