This Wednesday was the arrival of new tvN Wed-Thurs drama Flower of Evil and honestly I thought it was August already but it’s only the very very end of July and oh my god I’m so excited this drama is here but can this month end already?! Back to Flower starring Lee Jun Ki and Moon Chae Won, the first episode got 3.4% ratings, a higher than that the recent predecessors in that time slot Oh My Baby, Memorist, but less than Money Game though that drama ended up dropped by half in ratings whereas the other two stayed relatively steady. It’s a ratings whack-a-mole out there so looking at the early reviews, it’s mostly positive with the leads giving audiences whiplash from extra steamy marital couple kissing and sexy time to maybe Lee Jun Ki’s too perfect husband being a hidden psychopath and murderer. Talk about Moon Chae Won’s detective needing major therapy afterwards. I’ve saving the eps for the weekend to catch up on but hopefully those who had the time to catch it live found it worth watching, I certainly hope so.
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

I liked Oh My Baby. Yes rating was steady. Started at 2% and ended at 2%.
I was hyped at Money Game being Go Soo come back after so many years but I understand why the rating decreased by half the next episode. The premise was heavy & not to easy to watch which unlike rom-com.
I am in the mood for rom-com and light dramas these days. Just like I gave IONTBO a chance, but dropped since the last episodes, I’ll give FOE a chance. Hopefully the first two episodes would compel me to continue to watch till the end.
i'm looking forward to watch the episodes on viki... cant wait as i'm really excited
I can just imagine if certain famous artists were attached to this project someone would have been screaming at the top of their lungs like a donkey mating out in the open. In a world where 1% and 2% debuts are getting lauded. The biggest crime against art is when bloggers get personally involved with celebrities they don't really know instead of appreciating the art for itself. While not taking them serious because why would anyone sane do that. There is some concerning mental health issues in this blog community. I wish that a certain person truly get better and the help they need.
Aside from that I am actully enjoying this drama and I just watched few minutes of it and planning to continue watching once second episode drops. Big fan of both actors involved in this drama
If everyone lives like you, then there's no toxic fans, no antifans, no different opinions, no debate, no enemies... life must be beautiful. But boring on some levels.
But yeah, agree, some certain toxic fans and anti fans, need help. Lols. But we can help her, by ignoring her hateful comments.
I like both actors too. Gonna give it a try. But unfortunately ep 2 got decreased in rating. Hopefully it gets better later
love the 1st episode. not ur typical korean drama. i realized how i missed lee jun kis voice
My fave actor and actress! I didn't even know they were starring in a drama together. I have been so removed from the drama community for the past few years but let me try this show and see if I will be able to stick with it
Love LJK and you had me at extra steamy kissing scene yeah that’s enough of a hook to have a looksie.
I love it. Finally! I’ve been waiting for this show and they delivered but I wish he’s not so evil. And I ended up dreaming of the show and trying to figure out the plot lol. But they have amazing chemistry. Finally a drama that has my attention. I didn’t even bother with BR, and IONTBO was a bit to heavy for my liking. Hopefully this one is just exciting but not too heartbreaking. They’re both amazing actors.
Solid and well constructed first episode. I think both leads did a good job and the director as well so this will totally depend on solid writing to not jerk us around. I really want the mystery to continue and very slowly unravel as to who this guy really is.
The time slot is the reason for these ratings. Ep 2 dropped in rating and if you go on naver, you'll see tons of Knetz complaining about the late time slot.
11 pm airing time on weekdays is too late for most people who have to get up for work the next day
Episode 1 was very well done. I enjoyed it. I’m waiting for the second episode to be completely subbed by Viki before watching it. Don’t want to sound like a broken record, but this could easily be a Hollywood production transplanted to Korea. Still, the leads have awesome chemistry and I’m on tetherhooks for the next episode. Which begs the question, are we watching the Korean version of Dexter or will this be even more sinister? Lol ?
As I remember.. Dexter was an Autopsy expert I guess. He used to study from every murder and tried his best in his another murder. I think every serial killer does that. You can relate Dexter with a character in the korean drama "I remember you". It is also a good drama.

Agreed. I Remember You is one of my all time favorite kdramas. The psychology behind the script and characters was fascinating. Nature vs. Nuture and all that.
