You know when you're watching a drama that's so predictable that you roll your eyes every couple of minutes and wonder why you're still watching it? Yeah, this drama is NOT that.

Flower of Evil is a beautiful masterpiece that really keeps you on your toes. It is a thriller that showcases a loving couple that is trapped in an ill-fated relationship, desperate to do whatever it takes to be together in peace. The plot unravels slowly, then all at once, leaving you no time to catch your breath.

I absolutely LOVED Do Hyun Soo and Cha Ji Won's relationship. Despite their unfortunate conditions, their characters played out so realistically and naturally - you'd have a hard time believing they weren't married in real life. Neither of them overplayed their roles, so you won't see any of the standard cheesy fluff that you get in your typical drama. The kind of love they had for one another was real - and real love is not always stable nor unconditional. It really makes you think - if the one you love the most turned out to be someone they weren't, would you still be able to love them? Does someone's past dictate their present? Can you forgive a liar?

Furthermore, I really enjoyed the close knit bond between the secondary characters. Do Hae Soo and Kim Moo Jin had some very cute and light-hearted interactions that made me desperate for all the unfortune to go away, just so they could start over. Despite their bickering throughout the work day, Choi Jae Sup truly cared for Cha Ji Won's safety and happiness as a sunbae. Although there we many dark moments, Do Hyun Soo and Cha Ji Won's support system never failed them - these moments truly made my heart warm.

This drama is heavily plot based, but NONE of the characters were lacking. This really allowed for both Do Hyun Soo and Cha Ji Won to shine and tell their painful stories individually, then together as a couple. I would definitely recommend this, purely for the suspense and thrill - but you're definitely going to stay for the characters. :-)
