aww this comment made me happy, it was truly a beautiful tale :')

because it wasn't really "dark" nor it was its intention, it was really a melodrama at its core and the internal battle of the Do Hyun Soo with his true nature and the marriage of the main characters, heh, if you ended up watching this drama until the end maybe you can agree with me :)

Spoiler from Webtoon:

I think this was cute and fairly good. I've heard about Woong and Yumi's break up in the webtoon and that she will meet two more guys with the last one being her "end game". Well, it always depend upon how the breakup will be handled and the transition from being "broken hearted" to finding "someone new" if the breaking up of the characters will be justified. But for now, I feel like Woong and Yumi should work it out in this drama instead of breaking up just like in the webtoon. Woong was her light in her lonely world for three years and I just feel that the breakup was a big disservice to what could've been a beautiful, nurturing and stronger relationship they could even develop in the future if their shortcomings would've been addressed.

The road to Nabi's and Park Jae-on's character development was definitely a long one, them discovering themselves and realizing their mistakes were between the episodes that you've skipped. Moreover, unlike Nabi, Park Jae-on's character was not a typical kdrama character where one could easily understand his intentions, thoughts and feelings. His character growth were shown with his little actions throughout the drama which an inattentive watcher might missed and also through his subtle changes of emotions and small conversations with the people around him which helped him even more realized his faults in his relationship with Nabi. Also, his fall-outs with Nabi, helped him even more realized the mistakes he was doing and he was hurting the one who loves. His conversation with his mother and Seol-A definitely lingered on him, especially the one by his mother. Therefore, skipping episodes and jumping to the end would definitely felt like the show was dumb for letting them to be together because one failed to witness and understand the growth of the characters and the factors that led them in courageously accepting themselves and the people that they like. Nabi, all throughout the drama was always confused and not confident with her choices not just in love but also in her career; she was gaslighted by her s h i t t y and t o x i c and m a n i p u l a t i v e ex-boyfriend who was even a teacher, her relationship with Jae-on was also misjudged by other people around her and Jae-on was painted as "red flag" through rumors from other people who didn't really know and care about Jae-on. It also didn't help that Jae-on had commitment issues and had always been drawing the line, but through situations which led them both to realize their weaknesses, their faults and mistake, that is when they were able to come together and create their masterpiece—the first one was Nabi's broken sculpture and the last one was the chance to rebuild their relationship again.

Until now, I couldn't believe that this masterpiece is still at 8.5 here, it should've been between 8.7-8.8. It was so good and definitely moving! Lol, I guess people have different tastes, but to those who loved this drama as well, we can all agree that this is one of the best korean dramas out there.

I think if you already dislike the episode 1 then maybe you will not be a fan of its humor too xD. I love watching slapstick comedies so I really loved this one. However, if you want to watch this for its suspenseful and detective elements, I'm not an expert for that but they will be more fleshed out in the upcoming episodes.

it's free on iQIYI

A year had passed and I was able to see again this masterpiece, unlike from before, I was able to even appreciate its soundtrack even more especially the orchestral ones—beautiful and haunting. The rewatch value has also been higher because as you rewatch the drama you will even find more. I hope to those who are yet to watch this will savor every moment of this masterpiece!

After a year, I realized that Flower of Evil's rewatch value has been higher and there's more analysis that you could get from it, also its soundtrack was beautiful and haunting that I just knew I did it bad with the not perfect rating before. ;)

This comment section was a proof that healthy discourse is still quite far on social media...I hope to remind everyone that everyone is entitled of their own interpretations, beliefs and opinions. Also, a drama is a form of an art, therefore, you do not force your own interpretation to one another, instead, you discourse healthily. You don't tagged someone as "stupid" for not having the same interpretation of an art from yours. You believe this drama had many flaws? Or do you believe that this drama was misunderstood and so the characters? Then again, you discourse healthily.

Lastly peeps, just not because the majority likes or hates a drama, then that doesn't mean that was the "correct" one. Happy watching and I hope drama watchers could have their own analysis over a drama and not just join the "bandwagon".

He acted marvelous in Chief Kim and now that I am currently watching Cheongdamdong Alice, his acting was beautiful and very sad with Moon Geun Young! Such a very very good actor.

Moon Geun Young and Nam Goong Min's love story was so heartwrenching, I was just crying with them. Their beautiful acting wanted me to root for them to stay togeher, but I guess, something needs to end or break in order to build new things. I guess that the fall out of their relationship early in the drama was meant to build their selves as new and stronger individuals. As I watch this drama (I hope it will not disappoint me), I will just continue to root for their individual happiness! Fighting! And to everyone who suffers, it is okay to stop and rest and admit our weaknesses to ourselves and to others. We may not make it today, but I believe the world is round and not everything is constant, therefore after resting for a while and gaining enough energy, let's again embark on the great journey of OUR life. This is our life, not theirs, but ours, let's set our own goals and our timeline, what matters at the end of the day is what we believe in ourselves and not others. Our happiness and our well-being matters more than anything about money. Fighting!

This could've been a comfort drama, something that wasn't trying to have a strong plot but has a nice, simple vibe that would make you smile--I liked it a lot for that; unfortunately, the writer opt for that kind of ending. The things that happened in the end was so out of the blue, rushed and did no justice to the main characters. The one thing that I supposed made me annoyed a lot at the end is how badly it was written and executed since the emotions that was supposed to burst didn't came to me.

Anyway, I'm glad I've watched this and discovered Kim Ji Seok. I've watched him in You Came to Me and Became a Star with Jung So Min (same leads), that drama special was so good and heartbreaking, their performance was both quite good, esp. Kim Ji Seok who I now appreciate his versatility. His sincere performance in that drama special could break your heart. Now, I've watched him in other dramas as well and followed him on Youtube, such a funny kind and smart ahjussi. xP By the way, the chemistry of the leads is already good since 2013. ^^

I will watch this

My Unfamiliar Family was well-written, thank you for a warm family drama :)

good family drama, I hope those who want to watch it can savor the moment and watch it on a little pace :) God bless our families!

I think there is also some issues with the directing, I think it opted to become more of a comedy rather than romance after the leads got together. I would agree that their romance here is not top notch and there were times I don't know if I should just cringe or laugh a loud at the silliness of the leads, but, since I watch this for fun of course I just laughed those scenes off and prettily enjoyed this drama except last ep. I actually loved the ending of episode 7 where he saw her waiting for her at his house; episode 14 when they reconciled and hugged one another; and also the romantic moments of the leads in episode 15. I believe the drama would've benefitted a lot if they focused more on its sentimental and sincere moments, which now leads me to recommend my favorite drama special, where Kim Ji Seok and Jung So Min were also the leads, "Came to Me and Became a Star".

They were especially good there at their emotional scenes especially Kim Ji Seok. I was actually amused that he could deliver such kind of performance, but he did! Likewise, Jung So Min was good at her subtle emotions. Their chemistry was also very good which I believe you might even find more compelling than here. Kim Ji Seok also had quite good emotional scenes in Top Star Yoo Baek, partnered with over-the-top romcom, but still pretty much balanced. I hope you can watch some of his dramas sometime^^

My Golden Life was amazing!

Family. Emotional. Mature.

^ That's what "My Golden Life" is. It is a very emotional story of a family who broke down, lived a difficult life, trying to find the best versions of themselves, fighting for their dreams and hopes, and trying to keep their family whole again. This drama will always have a special place in my heart because I've watch this during the times I was close to feeling nothing and this drama made me feel their warmth and love. I hope my friends will also watch this (:

sooo good at Came to Me and Became a Star and Top Star Yoo Baek!

I loved his emotional scenes, he's good!
