This ain't a Marvel movie. What did you expect, CGI battles?🤣 This is a real life drama about young adults, about real people. Of course, it's slow.

Don't skip the intros and the outros, and pay attention to the little details like their clothes and scenes, and you won't be disappointed. Don't trust the comment section. Most people are lazy and if the writers don't spell everything out loud and clear they don't understand it and that's why they hate it. Honestly, I'm watching it again right now for the 2nd time, and I'm finding even more clues than the first time.

There's nothing wrong with my tone. Sure, the pop business isn't as bad as in Korea, for example, but if you think celebs can do whatever they want in the US, you're wrong. They can date, but did you ever seen any comments about their dating life? Not to mention that Disney literally forcing them to do what they want, so it's pretty much the same. Companies in the US still forcing them to wear what they want, and they have a strict rule how they should look etc. I'm obviously talking about singers/actors under age 21! I mean, for the love of God, how many Disney actress/singer became a drug addict or bulimic? So yeah, you could say they can date, but is it better for them than the Idols in Korea? No!

You call us "bunch of morons" while you are the one who think that we try to protect Suzy. Mate, we're talking about DOONA, not Suzy! Doona isn't toxic, she's just a young girl who's totally alone, she doesn't have anyone, not a single friend till she meet with Won Joon. Her only relative, her mother, is a piece of shit and her agent used her like a toy. Sure, she's acting like a little girl sometimes, but that's not toxicity. That's called want to be loved by someone, but she doesn't know how to do it because no one loved her!

I just realized after rewatching the 1st episode that at 2:20 minute or so you can see the same photo thingy hanging in his car, BUT there's no autograph on it! So, the fact that he had that before and Won Joon even looked at it and this is another proof that he put the autographed version in his car later.

Your first comment is 100% accurate, sadly! Also, I wouldn't say "some" I would say "most fans"! To be fair, film production companies and Labels could literally save these celebs if they want to, but they chose to ignore the problem and let the toxic fans be the boss, basically. It's easier to write a simple "We're saddened by..." letter than fix the problem before it happens.

@Blksista06 Do you live in a bubble? Being a toxic fan isn't only applies to Korea or other Asian countries. It's the whole goddamn world! Use Google and search, how many American Pop star or actor k*lled themself because of toxic abuse from so-called "fans". Do you think Demi Lovato became a drug addict and wanted to k*ll herself because she was bored? Please, don't be ignorant!

Kind of agree that without a huge star, most people would ignore this show, but I'm pretty sure that's why they wanted Suzy for the role. But looking at the comments, I don't think their plan worked, because mainstream audience used to Marvel movies where everything is spelled out loud and more than twice.🤣

The pot calling the kettle black? 😅 I don't think anyone here has a problem with FAIR CRITICISM! But, saying: "Doona is toxic and a walking red flag" is not criticism, it literally means that the viewer is dumb! Also, most "negative" comments are based on the fact that they didn't understand the show at all. I'm FAR from any typical Kpop or KDrama fans, I'm really strict when it comes to criticizing something even if my favorite actor is in it! I love Suzy, but she's not my favorite actor! If you pay attention to little things on this show, and you try to understand the main part of it, and that's not the romance btw, then you're going to watch a totally different show! This show is basically about the toxicity around celebs! The comment section proves the whole point of the show!

Also, most Kdrama and Kpop fans ARE TOXIC AF, like it or not! How many Idol or actor died because of hate comments? So, stop being ignorant! Being a blindfolded fan is bad too, but not as bad as being toxic!

Yes, if you don't miss the little details and don't skip the intros.

Exactly! That's why I said many times that people need to watch every intro since EP1! Also, Su Jin's reaction says it all. I could even say, it's everyone's reaction when they pay attention to every detail because that's how you feel at the end of the finale if you understand everything. The whole show is an easter egg hunt, basically.🤣

You're the prime example when a viewer doesn't understand what they saw. Doona is not toxic at all. If you can't understand why, you're part of the problem!

I don't know much about the webtoon, I know he's with another girl I think, so in that way the show is totally different. Also, didn't watch the anime either. So, in this show, if you skip the intros and the outros, you're going to miss a LOT of clues where they are in the finale. If you watch their clothes in the finale, you can see that he's wearing the same jacket and suit when they're together in a train station or on a meadow with a lot of pink flower or whatever those are. 😅 So the ending is pretty much means they are in a secret relationship because we have only seen them together (in the finale) where nobody else was there. Also, there was an official poster for the show with the same meadow where they were kissing, but that scene wasn't included on the show.

Trust me, if you like realistic drama with good story and characters, you're going to like this show. I really like when they don't spell out everything and the viewer has to think about things. One of my favorite part of the directing is that you only understand time jumps, for example, if you pay attention to details because they don't say when it happens and how many month or years are passed.

I mean, we can call it open-ended because they didn't spell out anything, just showed the most important parts, so you have to think about it a bit and maybe understand more what toxicity can do to other people. Also, I get people want an escape from reality, I want that too sometimes, but I just LOVE shows and movies like this, when there's no cheesy romance, Disney fairy tale, just simple people and their simple life. If we can call an Idol “simple”. 😅 To be honest, I always say that, just because someone is famous or rich, doesn't mean they're different from me, so yeah, I call them “simple people” like me, even tho their lifestyle isn't simple. If everyone would do this, toxicity would be extinct.

BTW it is a happy ending, you just have to use your brain!😅

Jesus, it's so funny reading the negative comments and reviews. This is why this drama is a great representation. People are lazy, don't pay attention to little things, and only care about the surface. And they blame the writers because they didn't spell out everything for them.🤣 You can see that most KDrama fans are so used to the typical happy endings and basic stuff. Also, congrats for proving how toxic fans can be. That's kind of the whole message of the show.

P.S.: If you don't like the show because you didn't understand the ending, it's not the writer's fault. PAY ATTENTION to the details, like their clothes, and DON'T SKIP THE INTROS AND OUTROS! If you don't skip any of them, you're going to get a MUCH BETTER experience.

If people don't pay attention, won't understand too much about this show. If you pay attention, you're going to love the show, especially if you love REALISTIC drama. This show was refreshing for sure.

I hope it's going to be more than 9 episodes because it's really short. There has to be a Part 2 someday because I don't think 9 episodes is enough to adapt the whole story well enough.

I wouldn't say Flower of Evil is a masterpiece, but it's certain that one of the best drama, and I watched hundreds of crime shows and movies. BTW I agree on the finale. I hated that typical lazy writing with the cliché part that you mentioned. That's why I only rated 9/10 because that's what I hate the most, it was totally unnecessary. But other than that, it was a great show. But I still think it's not a real crime show, it's more like a family drama and in that, it's one of the best.

I don't think the person who made this list understand that overrated and overhyped is not the same thing. First: on MDL most people love to give 9 or 10 points for everything, especially if one of the actor on the show is their favorite, cute, sexy etc. So you can't say these shows are overrated because people don't overrate them because they think it's that good, they doing it, because most people don't know how to rate something. Second: Overhyped isn't equal with overrated. Overhyped, means you can hear about them everywhere. 90% of this list isn't like that at all.

That's why I hate lists like this. People think just because they don't like something is overrated or overhyped. Also, they think, just because they love a show it's perfect, masterpiece etc. Everyone have a different taste, so the ratings means nothing, especially because 90% of the users doesn't write any review about the shows they watched, so you can't understand why they rated them 10/10 for example.

Obviously, I didn't watch every Kdrama on this list, but the only overhyped show here is probably 'Squid Game', but even that I can understand why it's overhyped. It's like Game of Thrones. It's not the best show on Earth, but probably one of the best.
