Unraveling Perfection (Late to the party?)
Oh, my drama-loving heart! "Flower of Evil" is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions. A crime thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat, and the love stories? They're like a K-drama hug for your soul. Do Hyun Su and Cha Ji Won's chemistry is electric, and the bond with little Eun Ha is heart-melting. Kim Moo Jin's love for Do Hae Su adds a sprinkle of sweetness.Now, let's talk about flaws. Baek Hee Seong's age-defying looks are like a K-drama magic trick that didn't quite land for me. A minor hiccup, but it did play a part in my rating, knocking off 0.5 points. Aside from that, the rest of the drama is a feast for the senses. Why did it take me years to finally watch this masterpiece? Perfection is the word that truly encapsulates my love for this gem!

the flower in my heart bloomed no matter how hard people tried to stop it
Guess who was shocked at the plot twists...MEE!!! The plot is so peak and well thought out. I loved how we got more information at the beginning of each ep about their pasts. I can already imagine the characters after the ending living their best life. Justice was served well in this drama and left me feeling satisfied. I do admit I was very scared and had to play piano music of Laufey songs to help lighten the dark mood. I did cackle a little bit when I heard Drunk by Keshi playing in the background of one scene because I did not expect that to be there. <3Was this review helpful to you?

16 episodes of waiting for unanswered questions
Like a viewer, who usually doesn't look for crime and detective series, I've been hooked from the beginning. I've been quite a sceptic, that it will be lack of romance and more crime and mystery and at the end, I've hated the fact, that this series wasn't focused on detective plot mainly, but more on the romance. Paradoxically, I've surprised myself...For me, many questions weren't answered and the character of the father/main killer wasn't developed and I still do not know his motives, reasons, background, relationship with his children etc. The writer pushed him aside completely and that is something I cannot pardon. The same for killer nr. 2, theoretically! During the 16 episodes, I've been asking the same question all over again. WHY? And the writer's never given me the answer. I don't even know the fortunes of other characters crucial to solve the murders moreover some incidents were bizarrely accidental.
As a sucker for romantic plots, I've been kind of disappointed and I've found myself do not care much about the relationship of main leads. The crime plot was a very strong factor, despite this fact, the writer still pushed romance at the forefront. Anyway, I think, the couple doesn't look together very well and I felt sorry for FL, because of feelings, what she had for ML, who was extremely broken. It was hard for me to believe his love interests for her. At least, there is a happy ending and from now on they could focus on emotional development as a married couple.
If you are looking for crime/detective drama with explanations, you'd be probably disappointed. This story is more about seeking an understanding of two people one for another, about the cure of emotionally broken hero and rediscovery family and friendship.

Speechless
I'm speechless, this isn't a review but a bit of some words I wanted to say out loud because this drama left me speechless. I finished watching this drama a few day ago after putting it off for a long time, these type of dramas are usually not my style so I decided to give it a try after much debate and I gotta say I'm glad that I did. This was the first drama that literally gave me anxiety(in a good way) because the tension was real, every episode I kept logging out to give myself a breath of fresh air, it had it flaws but what Drama doesn't have their own flaws?, I can't lie and say I was happy with all the episodes because that will be a lie, 2 or 3 episodes had me being angry but I think that was because the writers or directors mixed up the episode so there's that. The casts were amazing especially the main lead and I think I just became a fan of his, he is really a good actor and it shows he put everything in acting when it comes to it. I really love it.Was this review helpful to you?
Perfection! Best acting!
One of the best dramas I have ever watched — and easily one of the most deserving of a 10/10.Flower of Evil completely changed the way I look at the 10s I have given to other dramas. I thought I knew what a 10/10 meant… and then I watched this.
This drama has absolutely everything. I honestly cannot find anything to criticize. The story is brilliantly written, carefully constructed, and incredibly well thought out. Every detail feels like it has a purpose. It keeps you curious, makes you desperate to know what happens next, and never once felt boring to me.
But what impressed me the most was the acting.
Every single actor was outstanding. The ML, the reporter, the parents, the detectives — and the little girl, who was absolutely extraordinary. Every performance felt so natural and convincing. I didn't feel like I was watching actors playing their roles. I felt like I was watching real people living this story.
The emotions felt so genuine that I completely forgot I was watching a drama. I felt the story rather than simply watching it.
And I absolutely loved the love story. It was beautiful, emotional, and felt incredibly real. It wasn't just there as a side story — it was deeply connected to everything that was happening. The love, trust, pain, fear, and devotion between the two main characters made their relationship even more powerful and meaningful. Their chemistry and the way their relationship developed kept me emotionally invested until the very end.
And the ML… absolutely incredible. His performance was on another level. The way he expressed emotions, especially when so much was happening behind his eyes without saying a word, was unforgettable.
The production was also excellent. The cinematography, atmosphere, pacing, directing, soundtrack — everything came together perfectly.
There wasn't a single moment when I thought, “This is dragging.” Not one boring moment. I was constantly curious and always wanted to know what would happen next.
This isn't just a drama I watched. It's a story I felt.
An extraordinary drama from beginning to end.
A true 10/10. I genuinely have nothing to complain about. ❤️

NÃO TEM COMO NÃO FAVORITAR ESSE AQUI!!!
Perfeito do começo ao fim, te faz sofrer, chorar, ficar ansioso e obcecado até, muito muito muito bom. Pra quem gosta de um suspense/mistério com certeza vai gostar, quem não tem muita paciência com isso talvez não curta tanto.
O trabalho da protagonista deixa tudo mais intenso. É um dorama que faz até os personagens secundários serem cativantes e interessantes. Tem criança fofa, tem fofoca, tem chororo, tem pai presente, tem sogra mala, tem psicopata e tem casal com química de milhões, PERFEITOO!

Holy smoke. I don’t know where to start.I was craving thrillers/murderer/mystery/crime and I heard about this drama that has an outstanding twist. Which is why I decided to watch it. First of all, the family. I love them! I love love them. Eun HA! She did an amazing job portraying her character as their daughter. She sometimes gives me BABY FEVER😫.
The main couple though, Holy! The way they show their love to eachother and how they express their emotions are impressive. This is probably my first time seeing a lot of emotional scenes. Lots of crying! Their cries are surreal. They really demonstrate their love and how compassion they are for each other.
I just love the couple and the family.
The mystery in general was out of the box. Great THRILLER AND AMAZING TWIST.
i love THE VILLIAN!!! ahh. I'm a big fan of Him since MONEY HEIST. I've been seeing him a lot in dramas and movies and I'm proud of that!
In conclusion, I would definitely recommend this drama. Stunning story! Amazing cast! It's truly Astonishing to watch this movie.
The story itself really demonstrates the mystery of the murderer cast.
I just love it! Never seen the side of JOONGI in this GENRE AND he's KILLIN IT🥹❤️🥹
THE MAIN FEMALE LEAD!!!! I love HER! I'm a BIG FAN NOW! THEY WAY SHE CRIES. Her tears MAKES ME WANT TO CRY WITH HER. I love HER ACTING I LOVE BOTH OF THEM. THIS DRAMA AHHHHHHH!
Soo good SOOOOO good!

Lee Joon-gi delivers a phenomenal performance as Baek Hee-sung, a seemingly perfect husband and father who may be living under a stolen identity. His ability to portray complex emotions — from cold detachment to heartbreaking vulnerability — is nothing short of mesmerizing. He effortlessly walks the tightrope between suspicion and sympathy, keeping the audience constantly guessing: is he a monster or a misunderstood man?
The series thrives on suspense, with a plot full of twists, emotional depth, and psychological tension. Every episode peels back another layer of mystery, forcing viewers to question what they thought they knew. The chemistry between Lee Joon-gi and Moon Chae-won, who plays his detective wife, adds emotional weight and intensifies the stakes.
Flower of Evil isn’t just a crime thriller — it’s a deep exploration of love, identity, and redemption. With top-tier acting, sharp writing, and flawless direction, it’s a drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
Verdict:
A must-watch. Lee Joon-gi’s performance is unforgettable, and the plot will keep you hooked with every twist and turn.

Gostei muito do drama no geral.Teve ótimas atuações e osts como sempre, bom suspense e desenvolvimento.
Mas achei que pecou nas conveniências de roteiro, e na burrice dos personagens. Fora o drama excessivo nos últimos episódios.
Também ficaram algumas pontas soltas/furos pra mim, como:
O pai do Hyunsu foi dado como morto por suicídio, mas como pedradas na cabeça virou suicídio? Que investigação meia boca é essa?
E o marido da Jung Mi Sook ficou sabendo que ela tava viva? O que aconteceu com ela?

Not my usual fare but EXCELLENT
Watched this quite early in my kdrama journey because I didn't have access to many dramas with Lee Joon Gi and I was rather taken with his looks.This is a Psychological Thriller with tons of mystery and a fairly substantial love story. Usually I steer clear by hundreds of miles away from this genre but I didn't know what it was about going in.
This grabs you by the scruff of the neck immediately and holds you like that all the way to the end.
The subject matter was dangerous and yet I couldn't let go. It felt like every reality came with more questions than answers. And it was Lee Joon Gi that did most of the work. And as a viewer I have NEVER felt so confused about a character. Was he trustworthy? Just how evil was he really?
This drama gave a real appreciation for why many ppl are addicted to the Psychological Thriller genre. I don't have the nerves to watch this kind of drama on a regular basis. But I could rewatch this one anytime.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!

This is trusting between couple ...
I started this drama with no expectations Because I do not usually watch K dramas But when I completed first episode, I know that I've found the gem 💎💎 ...This is one of those dramas where you can't predict what happens next which is both frustrating and exciting at the same time. Flower of Evil gets better and better with each episode. Never once was I bored while watching this, every moment was thrilling. It exceeded my expectations and I loved every second of it!
I really love the way that ML did not even realise how hard he fell for our FL ...
The two main leads are phenomenal. Lee Joongi's acting is incredible, Moon Chaewon too, she performed her character very well and at times I could almost feel what she was feeling, it was that good. This is one of my all time favourite pairings in a drama, their chemistry and development is amazing!!
Osts are at point , whenever it starts i could not stop crying ...
IN SHORT:
It's an amazing humane drama with an incredibly beautiful narrative. The dialogues are so well versed they hit right into the heart! The quiet heartwarming background piano (sometimes violin mixed too) makes the past flashbacks scenes very alluring and majestic. Those first scenes (the flashbacks) are one of my top favorite bits of each episode!
