A so called unbeatable drama
First of all, i would like to thank deeply the writer with his immesurable engineered storyline that associatedinvestigation,love,friendship, psychology, mystery in one plot.
This drama made the viewer so attached to it from the very start to the very end, the cinematography and links between scenes is awesome, the slow track unveil of the mystery which the drama started with and the doubts implemented followed up with curiosity in the viewer is well versed within the links between the past credit scenes and the start in moment of the episode.
For many episodes, the highly talented outstanding writer led us to doubt everyone as the core of the drama, really he blew the jackpot
Moving to the cast, starting from the main leads, Lee joon ki and moon chae won chemistry is really amazing, their acting is not an acting frankly i say that, i assume they are really experiencing those moments with pure emotions and it scattered my heart when i see them cry because it intrigued me as it is real . lee jong ki portrayed a normal believing he is an abnormal because of what haters and fearers of his dad made out of him(he fitted the role like it was his life), the moments he feels suffocating or heartache i feel the same by empathy, the moment he went nuts(i understand him and so i do) and many other things.bref, he was absolutely the best performer of his role the same go for moon chae for hers.
The other leads were heroics also, the one portraying reporter kim moo jin, who put himself in danger to reveal the truth beside having a funny character and was friend of do hyun so portrayed by the almighty lee joon ki and his sister do hae so who was the first love of this reporter, his chemistry with her is appreciable and the relation between the four leads is solid and charmful.
The one who portrayed the psychopath serial killer is also a boss, his movements, eye hazing, hair tied ,smelling technique really swayed me up pushing me to see he is something like that in his real life.
Everything was wonderful about this so-called-serie and i would like to watch more drama combining lee joon ki and moon chae won. A drama from another planet, if you didn't watch it hurry up and start.

Is Love Real Even When You're Not Who You Seem to Be?
The show had a great first half of the season, featuring one of the best episodes I’ve seen in recent years.The second part delves more into the thriller genre as we uncover more about the mystery.
So, is it a thriller?
Yes.
However, we also explore the relationship between the two main leads, a mature couple who have been together for over 15 years. They have established lives, careers, a child, and they love each other. Due to events in the show, their love is strained, their convictions are challenged, and their relationship evolves.
So, is it a romance?
Yes.
The Flower of Evil is a perfect blend of these two genres, featuring incredible acting, stunning cinematography, and a flawless story. I highly recommend this show to anyone who enjoys experiencing something unique.

… well. Unfortunately, I didn’t like this show. My favorite thing about it was the acting and Lee Joon Gi’s and Moon Chae Won’s chemistry. Kim Moo Jin as a character was super annoying, I did not care about him and his old love (story) Hae Su. The real Baek Hee Sung got on my nerves so much, I’m glad he died. I got tired of the show after a little while… It was good but I didn’t go crazy over it, despite the hype. I just didn’t love it, which is kind of sad but I'll watch Lawless Lawyer next and I'm excited to see LJG in a different role! Considerați utilă această recenzie?

Masterpiece Masterpiece Masterpiece.
It was worth my time. I wasn't bored while watching it.Loved it. Every episode has new twists & turns. I was always looking forward to what was going to happen next. It is a gripping drama that excels in its portrayal of complex characters and thrilling plot developments. There is great character development.
Loved Lee Joon Gi acting the way he played a complex character who doesn't know how to emotion. The way he changes his emotions within a second is portrayed very effectively. You can see it though his acting when he is focusing himself on emotion & when he isn't.
Baek Hee Sung / Do Hyun Soo
Cha Ji Won fell for Baek Hee Sung first. He was cold towards her but slowly, slowly developed feelings for her. He genuinely loves her but doesn't know how to express himself.
I've a doubt, at the beginning, it's shown that Cha Ji Won is a smart police officer who is great at her work. But did she never doubt her husband's identity? I mean she is a smart police officer, how come she never doubted him.
Eun Ha is the cutest child. I loved her. Loved her & Baek Hee Sung's father-daughter relationship. Baek Hee Sung genuinely loges his daughter. It’s clearly visible through his actions.
Laughed how Choi Jae Sup dodged his superior's kick, then how his superior grabbed his hair.
Poor Im Ho Joon always gets in the middle of Cha Ji Won & Choi Jae Sup fights.
In serious situations, Kim Moo Jin saying to Baek Hee Sung why you’re so gorgeous is a hilarious scene.

Gripping thriller and a family drama
For me this show is two parts, first 12 episodes and then the rest. I thought the first 12 were amazing, attention grapping and full of twists and turns but then the show goes into the conclusion parts and ends up dragging along, especially for binge-watchers like me cause of the flashbacks and repetition. But good news is that it doesn't take away from the show that much. If you like murder mystery/thriller shows this is a 100% must watch with amazing casting and great chemistry between the characters, and the amount of times it pulled a SURPRISE PLOT TWIST was peak K-Drama standards. I really liked it, now I must make some egg tarts and hope my childs ends up like Eun Ha.Considerați utilă această recenzie?
FOE: True definition of a suspense-thriller
Flower Of Evil, to me, is the true definition of a suspense-thriller. Every episode leaves a chill down your spine such that you can't just sleep on it. You just want to take a peak of the next episode and you end up finishing it again and the cycle continues! I must say everything about Flower of Evil was done par excellence. Starting off with the story, the cast, direction, screenplay, cinematography, musical score. The songs Feel You and In My Heart really set the dramatic mood of the story while the suspense tones on the background made my heart pound. Oh, all of them deserve recognition!!!If there's one description that I could give to the writer, it's recklessly bold! Yoo Jung-hee was so daring to put her characters in awkwardly cliffhanger situations so that her viewers would wonder how the actors, already caught in the dead-end could still get away! So you go see the next episode! It was also wonderful how they managed to show an interplay of the past and the present to give light on the story. Much credit goes to Director Kim Cheol-kyu who drew out a very convincing performance from his actors.
Lee Joon Gi was indeed cut for the roles of Baek Hee-sung and Do Hyun-su and I don't think there's any other actor best fit for these roles. It was my first time to see him at FOE and since then I've already become his hopeless fangirl to the point that I've crammed to watch his other shows because I just can't seem to get enough of him. Lee Joon Gi is a gifted actor. He has depth. His penetrating eyes alone plus the movements of his facials already say it all. He is right when he explained in one interview, a true actor shouldn't be limited by subtitles. His actions, expressions, tone of voice should be able to tell a story.
I deeply sympathize with Do Hyun-Su. He is a beautiful person wrongly accused by a judgmental society that never attempted to uncover the truth but simply relied on heresays. Hyun-su and his sister Hae-su deserve a happy life. So does Ji-Won who gave her heart and genuinely loved her husband.
Truth and love are the central themes of Flower of Evil hidden in the guise of deceit and hate. It is a masterpiece! It is a must-watch!

Pros
Characters - They were so brilliantly written. I was invested in so many of them. The way the writers could make you feel for a character who had as little as 1 minute of screentime.
Character development
Romance – I didn’t watch this for the romance nor was I expecting it, but it has two of the most romantic and sweetest couples I’ve ever seen. I really adore the second couple. They’re so precious.
Twist & Turns – So, so many layers to this story. I love it.
Cons
Length – This drama really dragged. It could have been the greatest thing ever if they cut out a couple of episodes. I thought there would be some reprieve in the end, but nope. I actually fast-forwarded through 50% of it. What they added to drag the story for another episode was really unnecessary and especially to do that to viewers in the end.
Spoiler – The streaming service I watched this on uses a thumbnail that is a MAJOR spoiler. Not the story’s fault ofc, but it definitely ruined the mystery and surprise for me.

*Very minor and broad spoiler*The first episode will draw you in immediately with its calm yet increasingly suspenseful atmosphere. It's not an easy series to describe so I'll keep it relatively short. Because the story has such a strong romantic baseline, I half expected it to overpower the crime and suspense as some series do. Fortunately, it was well balanced and it did not disappoint.
The only aspects that made it a bit less than for me was somewhere in the middle when the original flow started to feel rushed. The shifting of Baek Hee Sung's emotions was abrupt (even if there was a trigger) and since that shift, it became less and less believable. Mostly because it was followed by dramatic events clumped too closely together which caused some encounters to become a tad repetitive, and some plot holes to develop.
Nevertheless, this series will draw you in and keep you in enough suspense to want to keep watching in lieu of sleep. I think it's a great one for those who enjoy different genres inclusive of psychology, romance, crime, or mystery. While it isn't a masterpiece in any particular genre, it did equally well in all of it.

Resenhas sinceras
Eu tinha escrito uma resenha enorme sobre essa série, mas o meu celular perdeu tudo :(Então vou resumir: a série é perfeita, maravilhosa, foge do convencional, é cheia de plost twists, todos os atores dão um show de atuação, a ost só melhora tudo isso e o final é satisfatório.
SPOILER
A única coisa que me impede de dar 10/10 para esse dorama é o final, pois mesmo sendo satisfatório é meio broxante.
A série foge completamente do óbvio e do padrão, logo o fato do Prota perder a memória no último episódio é MUITO CLICHÊ. Basicamente todo dorama tem isso e é um saco, porque é muito batido já. E o fato dele perder a memória torna o final muito corrido, coisas que deveriam ser explicadas com mais calma não são. Outra coisa que me incomodou é a Ji Woo ficar com ele mesmo ele não lembrando de nada, pareceu que foi outra mentira dele, até porque ele tava relutante em ficar com ela e do nada resolveu que queria.
No geral é isso, série muito boa que vale a pena ser assistida. Só o final que não é muito bom, mesmo sendo feliz, contudo ainda sim vale a pena.

No words to describe how good this is!!
Everything about this drama is completely amazing. Don’t hesitate to watch because it will be worth every second. You will never get bored, every chapter keeps you wondering what’s going to happen next. I dare to say it’s one of the best kdramas in this genre, and that’s saying much because i’ve watched a lot. The actors, the acting, the chemistry, the mistery, the love and hate leaves you open mouthed and longing for more. Lee Joon Gi deserves all the recognition for this role because you can quite literally feel his pain through the screen. I still think about some scenes from time to time and get the same feelings as if I was watching it for the first time. A complete work of art.Considerați utilă această recenzie?
