Flower of Evil (2020)

So much hope dashed just like that..

It started off as a great show...but then it turned weird to the point that their actions became ridiculously unbelivable. Sometimes people forgot that psychopaths may be crazy but they do not defy logic just because of that. Furthermore, it was bad enough that they portrayed the psychopath as a I-could-never-get-caught-because-the-universe-is-always-working-in-my-favor with lil to no effort but they also had to portray the side characters as people with shockingly forgiving hearts with nonexistent sense of logic. They skipped the fear of the criminal and went straight to turning into accomplices. My eyes had quite a blast rolling at the illogical plot.

Crime, Suspense, Love, Chill OSTs... All in one Place !

I started this drama because the story seemed interesting and finished it in a couple of days which is a miracle for me. The most important thing is there were almost no "plot conveniences". It was gripping till the last episode. Even if you can guess the murderer, you'll wonder about the main leads' choices and where it will take them. Main leads' chemistry didn't strike me as amazing at first. The more I got to know about Do Hyun Su the more I could understand how Cha Ji Won come to love him. It mainly revolves around them so, don't expect much from side characters. What more I would have loved to see? Baek He Song - Do Min Seok relationship of course. But I gues it would have too much flashbacks then so that's ok.
I loved, loved, loved the ending. Writer made an amazing point by letting Cha Ji won respect Hyun Su's decision. Well written, well played and definitely very touching.
And...Isn't that OST great?

actually this is the FIRST time I'm writing a review here!

I should admit that I really enjoyed watching this show. the storyline was very catchy and I'm so into thrillers! my last experience of watching mystery k drama was MOUSE:))) and yes that was my favorite and flower of evil kind of reminded me the vibe of mouse actually. and if you like psychological, mystery, crime, thriller and yet romantic drama, this drama is for you:)))))

Some things which I like the most: I liked the plot twists and how they tricked us at first. and how the story wanted to tell that we can not judge people that easily! and how a society can harm innocent people and ruin their lives:(((
I really liked the fact that they portrait a love between a married couple even though JI Won was a little too much for me.
and also Im really satisfied that at the end MOJIN and DO HE SU didn't rush into a relationship, it was mature of them and sweet,
they could describe antisocial person quite well and whenever he felt a huge emotion which gave him a pain in chest was really hurtful.
mostly I do not like kids at the shows ,however their daughter was so sweet and adorable I miss her actually:)))

Things that didn't let me to give this show a 10 overall:
whenever a person gets out of coma, specially after 14 years its not easy at all to talk, walk or even do ordinary stuffs. HI SUNG had the ability of talking since the first second he returned from coma. and he gets back all his abilities in less than two weeks!!! which is so unreal for a man who was not functional for 14 years!! I was really shocked when i saw him driving a car alone. that was so unrealistic and I couldn't accept it while whatching the show.
the other reason was that the concept of serial killing could be done better, I had this sense that it was a good opportunity which Was missed.
and I must say that I do not like sad endings, but the fact that the roles are being shot or killed several times but they will never die is getting a little boring for me😅😅😅 you know a shot in head or a lost heart beat for 8 minutes(!!) is not necessary at all whenever you know the role is gonna survive there is no excitement in it ;))))


at last I must say that this show has become one of my favorites of k dramas:))

Underrated Blockbuster!

The drama is underrated and that's the best part about it! The ones who have seen it would agree with me that this drama has probably everything that you would want in any show whatsoever! From an engaging cast to the love between the reel couple, the bonding they share, the mystery of the past, a serial killer on the loose, mental health issues, the unshakable trust, the uncertainty of the future, father-daughter love, and most importantly, an engaging plot, this drama has it all.

You are missing out on a really good one if you still haven't watched this yet.

Thrilling all the way to the end

My favorite type of Kdrama series are those that are in the thriller / mystery genre. I have watched ‘Stranger 1 + 2s’, ‘Whisper’, ‘Misty’ and many others but ‘Flower of Evil’ took the cake. I found it gripping, exhilarating and sometimes so tense that it was hard to watch. The acting was the best part. I was blow away by all actors in their delivery. Even subtle and nuanced interactions between characters still managed to delivery such heat and intensity.
Sure there were some aspects of the plot that require suspension of disbelief but that is why it is a drama and not a documentary. No one said the storyline was based on true events.
After Flower of Evil, I am going to find it very hard to find another Kdrama mystery that had me gripped from start to finish.

A drama packed to the brim with exciting and nail-biting storytelling.

For someone who usually shies away from thriller-tagged dramas, I was hooked from the get-go. The story itself is quite fast-paced with each episode brimming with important details and clues (we were shocked as to how “long” each episode felt because of this).

With an easy-to-follow narrative, each plotline is revealed and weaved intricately keeping you on the edge of your seat. You find yourself submerging into each of the characters and the decisions they make.

One of my negatives in this drama is the final episode. Even though it serves as a contrast to the other episodes, it isn’t entirely necessary.

In conclusion, I am so disappointed I took this long to watch it, so if you’re thinking about whether to watch it or not too, do yourself the favour and don’t delay. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

masterpiece.

this drama is everything people say it is. it deserves the hype it got and deserves the high ratings.

i have no words for the acting performance of both leads. it was so natural, mature & touching.

every thing that i didn't like about the drama (which is very few that's not even worth mentioning) was so irrelevante when compared to the high quality narrative, performances & plots.

and wow. SO MANY PLOTS. you may think that you've got everything figured out, but you don't.

it's one of my all-time favorite dramas (the first one in this on going list).
