Grave erreur : épouser une policière quand on a un passé trouble...

En cours de visionnage :
Grave imprudence que d’épouser une policière de talent quand on vit sous une fausse identité avec un passé pour le moins sulfureux !! Mais sans ça, pas de drama, donc, ne nous arrêtons pas à cette bizarrerie, et entrons dans l’histoire, ce qui est facile, car elle est très prenante et palpitante, au moins jusqu’à l’épisode 7 où je suis arrivée !
je peux déjà dire que Lee Jun Ki retrouve là son grand talent, dans un personnage ambigu essayant à tout instant d’être « comme les autres » et surtout d’en donner l’image ! Les sociopathes ou personnes ayant un trouble de la personnalité sociale sont vraiment à la mode ces derniers temps dans les dramas ! On comprend assez vite que Do Hyun So est infirme du côté des émotions, qu’il ne les ressent pas mais doit constamment les deviner et les jouer… Mais cependant il comprend la nécessité de faire des efforts pour certaines personnes auxquelles il tient, et pour lui c’est ce qui se rapproche le plus de l’amour. Lee Jun Ki est particulièrement bluffant dans ce personnage que le scénariste a très bien écrit, sans exagérations, ni de mélodrame.

Une fois fini :
Le drama m’a tenu en haleine jusqu’au bout, répondant au fur et à mesure aux questions qu’on se pose, questions qui d’ailleurs apparaissent elles aussi au fur et à mesure. J’ai beaucoup aimé l’équipe des policiers autour de Cha Ji Won, à la fois rigoureux, mais ne manquant ni de cœur ni de cohésion. J’ai aussi aimé Cha Ji Won, qui, au fur et à mesure de ses découvertes hésite entre tout lâcher, puis ne pas abandonner son mari, et cette position incertaine est tout à fait plausible ! Encore une fois compliments chaleureux à LJK, en particulier dans ses scènes avec son enfant, où on le voit découvrir un univers mental qu’il ignorait complètement…
Par contre je mets un bémol sur la famille des « méchants », ils sont peu crédibles, je trouve, car pourquoi se comporter de cette façon avec son fils si on ne veut pas éveiller des soupçons ? Et le « méchant ultime » est vraiment too much, je n’y croyais pas trop, et l’acteur non plus ! Avec tous les psychopathes dont les Kdramas nous abreuvent en ce moment, c’est un des moins intéressant et c’est dommage qu’on n’en ai pas plus vu sur sa relation avec son mentor !! Là il y avait quelque chose d’intéressant à creuser, mais on sent bien que le scénariste ne s’intéressait qu’à LJK ce qui déséquilibre l’histoire ! On a droit à l’amnésie, ça faisait longtemps que je ne l’avais pas vue, elle ! Mais je dois dire que là elle était parfaitement argumentée et son évolution est très intelligemment faite !
Pour finir, la fin : elle est très bien, touchante et émouvante juste ce qu’il faut !

Le bande son est belle, comme toujours il y a la hurleuse de service qui intervient juste dans la scène où on aurait besoin de silence, avec en plus comme c’est Viki les paroles en dessous, des fois qu’on serait trop bête pour comprendre les sentiment sans qu’on nous les hurle dans les oreilles !

Bref, c’est quand même un très bon drama dans le genre socio-psycho-pathes…

D’ailleurs ça commence à bien faire : après les maladies incurables, puis les greffes du cœur, on eu la prosoagnosie, et maintenant le fils du psychopathe portant la croix de son destin maudit… Faudrait voir à trouver autre chose !

Flower of evil, cada episódio um mix de emoções

Nossa, vamo lá né? Primeiramente falar desse último episódio que foi bastante sofrimento e pouca felicidade, não gostei sem necessidade viu? Inclusive fiz um final perfeito na minha mente e queria muito que ele tivesse se lembrado de tudo ? mas tudo bem, queria a hae su e o moo Jin juntos também, a hae su com a Eun ha ?
Mas parabenizar esse drama que foi o motivo da minha loucura esses últimos dias, não conseguia fazer nada pensando em flower of evil. Parabenizar o Joon gi que já é um dos meus favs mas ele entregou TUDO que tinha pra entregar nesse papel, todas as expressões e emoções, ele se superou incrivelmente. Fiquei mais apaixonada ainda pelo trabalho dele. Impecável. E a relação dele com a Eun ha? A coisa mais linda do MUNDO, meu papai e filhinha favs do universo SIM. Por favor façam mais drama com casais já casados e com filhos eu PRECISO. O amor dele e da ji won minha nossa, eu sofri muito viu? Ela chorando vários episódios seguidos e eu do outro lado, ela chorou viu? Chorou muito. Mas arrasou demais também, todo o elenco teve uma construção muito boa e eu gostei bastante, o drama teve muito plot e muita coisa que não não deixava você com a mente quieta, talvez a única incógnita seria a do porque consideraram a morte do min seok como suicídio e a jung mi suk e o marido também ? mas falando dos vilões, esse cara tá de parabéns viu? Conheci ele em money heist Korea e nossa o papel dele era todo tabacudo e aqui ele deu um show, tanto que não quero ver ele por um bom tempo de tanto ódio que eu senti, um dos melhores vilões já bem interpretados que já vi, ele realmente merece muitos prêmios foi incrível, sensacional demais a química dele com o joon gi em cena era surreal. Flower of evil entrou pros favs sim, incrível demais! Que dramão.

This drama definitely deserves the hype and also this incredible high rating here on MDL! Although I rated it 9/10 stars, I still very much liked it. I preffered the beginning and the middle of the drama rather than the ending: especially the 15. episode and some parts of 16. episode were too melodramatic for my taste. Don't get me wrong, I like melodramas too but I feel like it didn't really suit this drama.

The acting was done brilliantly, especially the main male actor did such a great job in portraying the ML, all his sides, it was really chilling (in a good way!) to watch it. I came to love the FL's character as well and the police team was great too. <3

Overall a very satisfying watch! Worth the hype.

Best of the best!

I am usually not one for thrillers but this drama...it touched my soul.

The acting by Lee Joongi and Moon Chae Won was beyond words. This drama is definitely one the best I have ever seen in all the years I've been watching dramas. The directing and production brought this already incredible script to another level of brilliance. I can't leave out the editing and the beautiful additions of the OST.

Each actor performed their role so brilliantly that you're glued to screen wanting to know what happens next.
Everything about this was just phenomenal. I am so happy that director Kim Cheol-Kyu won the award for Best Director at the 57th Baeksang Arts Awards. It is truly deserved.

P.S. I've known Lee Joongi's since 'Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo' and Moon Chaewon from 'The Innocent Man'. So I knew both of them were good. Moon Chaewon however completely blew me away with her performance. I am now officially her fan as well.

Heart-pounding, heart-stopping

This was absolutely fantastic from the get-go — starting off by making us question the ML's identity, then watching the tension between him and the FL, and finally figuring out the mystery and having it play out...the story was extremely well-written and the performances and chemistry between the two leads was fantastic.

I also want to give massive props to the actor for Baek Hee-Sung, whose stare sent absolute chills down my spine.

I admit, however, that the ending definitely soured my love for this show a bit — I'm never a fan of the amnesia trope and while I don't think it was necessarily overblown in this show, it felt unnecessary and I would've loved for the leads instead to carry the burden and move forwards together (the way they'd been doing so far).

Still, there's a lot to love about this show from its story to its questions about humanity...and it's a thriller I'd highly recommend.

One of the best dramas I've ever seen It was a story about a dangerous psychopath married to an intelligent police officer, implying that there would be a clash between the two, a bit like cat and mouse, being even more intense because they had a young daughter together, but in the end it was a romance between the two. Heesung suddenly went from a psychopath to a normal and passionate man, and Jiwon from a strong and determined woman to a passionate sufferer, who forgot everything her husband did. Until the last moment I was rooting for him to be pretending and using her, but no, they wasted their potential. However, Heesung before the change, his relationship with his father, the couple against the real Heesung and him as the villain was incredible. Furthermore, Eunha is a beautiful and perfect little baby.

A character driven story.

Flower Of Evil is one of those shows that takes you entirely by surprise.
Shows are frequently overhyped, but they often can demonstrate their worthiness of being hyped up. This slow-burn thriller is a brilliantly written show that easily jumps between genres while never losing sight of its central idea. It's a show that deserved to win the Asia Artist Awards as well as the Baeksang Arts Award that it attained.
The story itself is played as a combination of a procedural crime drama and a cat and mouse thriller. Even after weeks of finishing this drama, the characters, themes, and plots didn't let me go, nor did I wish to let go.
This is a winding thriller, and you'll want to watch this very delicate and shocking story to the end.
There are some great moments that will surprise you. I can't select which of the many strong goodies in the drama to highlight first. The primary characters? The supporting cast? What about the acting? What about the writing?
The tone shifts slightly when we learn more about Hee-Sung's intentions. These tonal swings eventually move into the realm of romance. The first thing you notice when you start the drama is one of the most touching married couple you've ever seen in the drama world, accompanied by their lovely little daughter.

There's something you can't notice straight away, as the storey synopsis already implies. Something that begins to rip those nicely constructed barriers down from within. Hee-Sung is suspected of being the perpetrator of a series of mysterious murders. Hee-Sung quickly reveals that he is not who he appears to be, adopting a false character and being unable to feel any emotions. Adopting a fake persona and unable to feel any emotions, it soon becomes apparent that Hee-Sung is not at all what he seems. However, being experienced with a lot of crime tropes, I sensed there was something fishy about the dark past they were trying to sell me. How far can a drama go with the main character being the bad guy? Could he be the one who killed these people? Is it possible that something else is at work here? That question followed me around like a shadow while my suspicions grew.

The finale removes some wind from the sails. It is mainly used to wrap everything in a neat bow, borrowing some proven Kdrama metaphors. Moon Chae Won and Lee Jun Gi's acting is exemplary, and both have plenty of room to play a role that really relies on their emotional performance.
There's definitely a lot of tension here, from the mob boss tying up Hee Sung and threatening to set the room on fire, to our heroes slowly lining up in a water-filled pool. This is completely contrary to Ji Won's police investigation, as she is torn between her obligations and her relationship with Hee Sung.
This relationship really moves the story forward. Unlike many Korean dramas, Flower Of Evil takes time to turn this simple love story into a much more complex case than the misunderstandings we've seen. It is that the chemistry between the two is very powerful and both help to nourish each other and enhance their achievements.

I do have to admit that at times the tempo is a little off. There are a few barely noticeable lulls along the way.
I have the ability to without a doubt say, Flower Of Evil is a fantastic drama. It's the ability to combine the romantic, dramatic, and action-packed genres without becoming bogged down in its own convoluted plot is amazing.
This one is definitely worth checking out if you haven't already!
