Flower of Evil is undoubtedly one of the most popular dramas of 2020. It stars Lee Joon Gi, Moon Chae Won, Jang Hee Jin, and Seo Hyun Woo in the lead roles. With 16 episodes, the drama ended with its personal best rating. Here is why you should not miss this drama.
1. The Plot
Baek Hee Sung (Lee Joon Gi) is the perfect husband and the perfect father. But he is hiding something from his family. When his detective wife Cha Ji Won (Moon Chae Won) starts investigating a murder, she finds the case similar to that of a past serial killer. Does Baek Hee Sung know the answer to his wife’s questions?
2. Lee Joon Gi
Lee Joon Gi has proved his acting skills in many of his dramas. But Hee Sung’s character is very different. He is a warm, and loving person with his family but also appears to have a dark side. Showcasing this difference to the viewers is a difficult task and Lee Joon Gi just nailed it!
3. Moon Chae Won
Cha Ji Won’s personality is something we can only find in a few dramas. She is calm, composed, and rational. Moon Chae Won has perfectly played the role of an ace detective and a wife who is suspicious about her husband. The way she portrays the dilemma Ji Won is going through is excellent.
4. The Supporting Cast
The quality of a drama depends on every actor in it. Flower of evil has one such cast. Hee Sung and Ji Won’s cute daughter, Hee Sung’s mysterious wealthy parents, Reporter Kim Moo Jin, Do Hae Soo, Ji Won’s colleagues all have a particular role in the story. Their characters are not dependent on the main leads, and they have stories of their own.
5. A Cute Family Amidst All The Chaos
With all the tension in the drama, the only thing that brings a smile on the viewers’ faces is the moments between Hee Sung, Ji Won, and their daughter Eun Ha. The initial episodes where a tired Ji Won is welcomed by her husband and daughter represent the bonding this three share.
6. OSTs
The background music in a drama adds to the atmosphere and the soundtracks of Flower of Evil are apt to the situations they are played. ‘Psycho,’ which is played during the end of each episode increases the curiosity of the viewers. Whereas ‘In my heart’ and ‘Feel You’ add a touch of melodrama.
7. A Dead Serial Killer
When a killer gets killed, we think everything ends there. But the story of this drama begins here. A murder resembles the killing style of a serial killer from the past, which gives rise to doubts about an accomplice. But no one has survived to answer these questions.
8. The Cliff-Hangers
If you have a long weekend, this drama is perfect to binge-watch. Each episode ends with something unexpected that makes you start the next one and then, you keep on going. The story is so engaging that you don’t even feel like pausing the drama to get snacks.
9. The Angel V/S The Demon
Hee Sung has his metal workshop. He is proud of his wife and loves his daughter beyond anything. He is a warm and caring person. But as we watch the drama, we are confused as to whether this is his actual personality. Hee Sung owning a burner phone and practicing how to behave makes the viewers doubt him.
10. An Air Of Mystery Till The End
There is so much happening in this drama that something new pops up every time we think the story is getting a conclusion. You might have watched a lot of thrillers, but Flower of Evil has its share of unpredictable revelations. To get closure to all the events including the subplots, you need to watch it till the end.
