Enjoyable but not perfect
Overall very enjoyable despite a few plot holes and the pacing losing its grip around ep 10. It would have been perfect as an 8-10 ep drama. Plot wise the biggest twists were revealed too early and it made the latter episodes a bit boring and drawn out. The acting was a bit meh from the ML in the final episodes. But my biggest gripe with the drama was the poorly written FL (and a few other characters like the reporter and the sister) and the way the relationship of the leads was portrayed in the flashbacks and pre-drama (it was too unrealistic and lacked chemistry).Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
The OST is now considered one of my favorite OST. I thought that the OST worked really well with the story
The acting was my favorite throughout this whole show. This cast was amazing and really outdid themselves.
Lee Jung ki was the best throughout this whole show and played Hyun Soo very well and showing us different sides of Hyun Soo.
Moon Chae Won who played Ji Won was also amazing and I really enjoyed her acting she plays Ji Won amazing in making this character come alive and portrays all of Ji Won complicated emotion and made the feel real and raw.
For the romance, I loved it, Ji Won and Hyun Soo had such an emotional journey which makes them feel real, and you can't help but want them to have their happy ending. Also, Lee Jun Ki and Moon Chae Won are great together and their chemistry was solid that I fully believed that Ji Won and Hyun Soo were a married couple.

I will say, this show is very intense! With every episode it gets more intense. Even so, there will be moments that will make you feel happy and sad.
The actors were AMAZING! They had to show a lot of emotion throughout the show and they did an exceptional job doing so. I'm a huge Lee Joon Gi fan and he was something else in this series. He was so believable. I 100% cried thanks to the cast and their acting and not to mention the amazing story they acted out.
I was shocked as I watched the last episode. At the end of episode 15, I thought I knew how the last episode would go. Boy was I wrong! I did not think it would go the direction it did, but I'm happy it did! It's different and very fitting.
I recommend Flower of Evil to everyone!!

Unforgettable
I started watching this without any expectations, I knew LJG from moon lovers and I read some reviews that said it was great until the last episode. I didn't know it'll end up being my absolute favorite drama.The first 3 episodes are intriguing but a little on the slow side, and it made me think it was going to be a case of the week kinda show which I don't like, thankfully it isn't and the 3 cases were actually there to introduce the main plot line.
It's one of the few shows that actually gets better with every episode and there's a point were you just can't stop watching.
The romance is top notch and never boring, considering they're married with a kid, I consider it an accomplishment.
I understood what they were trying to convey with the last episode, and I loved that they gave themselves the time to have an actual episode long ending to resolve every loose ends, most thrillers just have them running until the last 5-10 minutes and then slap together an open ending or leave it's audience hanging.

Heartbreaking but So Full of Love
How to sum up FOE? This drama was a rollercoaster of emotions from start to end , that much is for sure. The story, set-up and actors all pull you in immediately and I remained 100% hooked until the end.The leads definitely make this drama. Lee Joon Gi is an amazing actor who can portray every possible emotion needed and he’s so genuine every time - everything Hyun Su felt, I believed.
Oth I admit I came into this drama with very low expectations of Moon Chae Won. She’s never been in a single drama I’ve liked and I thought all she could do was cry. Well. She’s still exceedingly good at crying.
But holy crap!! She was excellent! Ji Won goes through the absolute most in this story imo. The utter betrayal, the conflict, the rollercoaster of emotions she suffers throughout and MCW portrayed every single moment so well. I was blown away by her every moment and I’m so glad the actress got this chance to show her range and her skill. I love when pure talent can change my opinion.
There are some story choices - especially towards the end - that keep this drama from being a perfect 10 or 9 for me. But even those can’t drop it any more than that. I was emotionally invested in this small, strange family as they navigate the craziest of situations. Ultimately this is a story about true love and despite all the angst, it shows how important it is for everyone to have just one person fighting their corner against the world.
Imo it also serves as a lesson in empathy & responsibility. So much of the ML (and his sister’s) problems stem from the fact that at every turn in their life they were denied empathy and the path it led them down. Oth, the failure of some characters to take responsibility for their choices vs the bravery of others, like Ji Won to never step away from her responsibilities as a cop, mother & wife, shaped the story in huge important ways.
I definitely recommend! Obviously! & for many of you I’m sure those story choices that bothered me won’t even bother you so you might end up finding your next perfect 10 or 9 drama!!

my first 10/10 drama on here
its amazing how this show is able to connect all the events of the crime and string it all into 1 cohesive plot. ill never forget the satisfying moment in the episode where everything finally clicked together and i was finally able to make sense of it all.there are so many great character personalities and relationships which i think is what makes this show so great and so angsty. i think its perfect how this show's underlying theme is love and how you'll do anything for the people you love.
so many incredible aspects of this drama; the actings one of a kind, lee joongi, the storyline.. its all breathtaking and it made me sad when it ended. truly i've never seen a drama like this with such 5 star qualities.

Very addictive!
I started watching the series while its on going and i have to say its really hard! Waiting every week for an episode then something suspenseful happened but you have to wait a week to know what really happened. The stoy was indeed very unique I haven’t seen any story or drama like Flower of Evil. The actors and actress’ chemistry was great too! I mean well Lee JoonGi never disappoints! I also love the OST especially DOKO’s Psycho!! The song is really great it matches the show’s theme. The reason my rewatch value is low because i think knowing the story is okay already don’t feel like you can keep on watching it again and again.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
A 10/10 masterpiece
Finally finished Flower Of Evil and what a great drama it was. Amazing story, suspense and cliffhangers in every episodes. The amount of goosebumps I got is uncountable. Lee joon gi and Moon chae won did an amazing job and also the lil one. Everyone acted so well + The chemistry between leads, their love & trust for each other. The father-daughter relationship was so heartwarming. The way Lee joon gi portrayed his role, the development of his character hyun so, from unable to Express feelings to start caring for someone, loving someone.Joon gi portrayed so realistically, Moon chae won as ji won was equally incredible, she had a major role in hyun so's development. I couldn't hold tears seeing her crying and being emotional. Osts are good too. I cried a river in last two eps. The Climax ??overall, it was a masterpiece for me. It's 10/10 drama. would recommend everyone who haven't watched yet. It's a must watch??Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
A true drama
This is one of the best shows I have watched. I remained on the edge of my seat. I wondered what was coming next and I believed in him as much as his wife did. I could not say one bad thing about this and I could say a million good things and it would not be enough. This was a roller coaster of emotion. I will watch it again since I am reading the subtitles and I find that I always watch something I really love and see things I missed the first time. I have watched some programs 4-5 times gaining a better understanding each time by picking up on things I did not see initially. This will definitely be one of those. This should become a national treasure and I look forward to seeing more works with the cast in it. Indeed there could be more series of this. Great job done by any and everyone that did the smallest to the greatest thing in producing the MASTERPIECE.Shebomb7

Lee Joon Gi Oppa!!
I really like the character played by Lee Joon Gi here.. he really is the definition of don't judge a book by its cover. Lots of unexpected plot twists. throughout the story we are only made suspicious of the main character. because of the appearance of the main character who is cold, mysterious, and seems manipulative... an ordinary person like me must also suspect him.for Lee Joon Gi Oppa.. I saw him for the first time in this drama and I really like him. how shocked i was when i saw it in real life. he really is a very different person. in the real world, he is a good person who is very passionate and cheerful.

Que dorama incrível!
Eu não esperava esse dorama ser tão bom assim, comecei por tédio e acabou se tornando um dos meus kdramas favs! eu fiquei muito chocado com a atuação de cada personagem, foi insano, era como se eu estive envolvido na história do drama e eu achei isso muito bom. O jeito como as coisas aconteceram no tempo certo também foi incrível!! Com certeza esse é um drama que tem que servir de inspiração para outros, porquê ele realmente é incrível. eu assistiria esse drama mais mil vezes, queria apagar a minha memória pra assistir como se fosse a primeira haha.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
