A great noir thriller with some annoying issues.
I tried to find an entertaining and thrilling action drama and ended up watching this. After the ending I can say that I really enjoyed the drama overall but there were a few things that annoyed me.
What I liked about the drama was the acting and action. The action was brutal and bloody and well choreographed. Every character was excellently acted, and Ji Chang Wook makes an amazing performance once again. Bibi in her drama debut was also in a surprisingly big role and definitely was great in her role.
The story is a dark and depressing and features many complex characters who you can't easily pinpoint whether they are good or bad or doing the right thing.
The thing I disliked about the drama has to do with the writing. Euijeong's and Junmo's relationship is supposed to be one of the most important things in the drama yet there's barely any scenes of them together or even talking to each other.
----> Euijeong in general was extremely underdeveloped as a character and a little poorly written. She is supposed to be an experienced police officer yet she doesn't act like one at all. There is not even one scene where Euijeong is participating in a fight or using her police skills (physical or verbal). Even worse, she is just scared and flustered in most scenes. This seriously annoyed me during the show and unfortunately reduced my enjoyment of the drama quite a bit.
Additionally, It might be just me and my stupidity, but there were multiple events where I was left really confused as to why it happened or why a character did what they did. These mostly involved Mingoo's character, his actions were extremely confusing and a little unrealistic to me.
-------------------
All in all, I really enjoyed this drama and loved MOST of the characters, the action, and the noir themes in the drama. Unfortunately I was once again left with a bad taste in my mouth because of the rather poor writing and characterization of some characters. It really is a shame because at first the drama really seemed like it would skyrocket straight to my favorite dramas, alas, it didn't happen.
The Worst of Evil is a must watch for fans of Ji Chang Wook, noir, or action. My final rating for the drama is either 8,5 or 9/10.
