The new stills are out for tomorrow’s episode 9 of Flower of Evil and it’s one of the most exciting sneak peeks because it bring all four leads into the same scene. Detective wifey Cha Ji Won manages to track sleuthing husband Do Hyun Soo to his scooby gang meeting with sister Hae Soo and high school nemesis turned ally … Continue reading →
There is no mid-week hump for me, at least not while Flower of Evil is airing in the tvN Wed-Thurs time slot. This drama is the best type of modernized melodrama crack, the classic tropes redefined and elevated to sleek modern mores. The stakes are high for EVERYONE which is why the tense terseness works, we know characters are invested … Continue reading →
Lee Jun Ki fans all have their “moment” story, and there is quite a diverse array of his K-dramas which have hooked a casual viewer into a convert. Mine is of course the still perfect and very re-watchable Time Between Dog and Wolf, one of his first K-dramas though I watched it a few years after it came out. It’s … Continue reading →
There is so much going on in Flower of Evil and also so much to look forward to. This is textbook K-drama melodrama expertise in scriptwriting, tight and pulls no punches. Episode 6 peeled back the why is Hyun Soo pretending to be Hee Sung layer, not the full backstory but an intriguing glimpse. Just knowing if Hee Sung woke … Continue reading →
Okay, episode 5 of Flower of Evil cements it for me. I LOVE THIS DRAMA. It’s totally Nice Guy on steroids and also starring Moon Chae Won and switching one of my baes Song Joong Ki for Lee Jun Ki and grounded by an interesting story with still so much ground to cover. Episode 5 got 2.973% ratings as the … Continue reading →
This past weekend I caught up on Flower of Evil, and all that kissing and making out between the OTP aside, the first 2 episodes were merely good. A lot of stage setting and hints but we don’t get to form an emotional connection right off the bat with the characters. Lee Jun Ki‘s Hee Sung is too “acting evil” … Continue reading →
I realized that nearly all of the most popular younger generation K-actors have had a chance now to play a sageuk king, prince, or even fictional modern day Korean king/emperor. It’s totally an excuse for me to collect the entire menagerie of regal hotness for a question – who is your hottest His Majesty or His Royal Highness? For me … Continue reading →
Since I’ve yet to start new tvN Wed-Thurs drama Flower of Evil I can’t comment on the plot, acting, or production yet but purely on audience interest it’s not off the the right trajectory start. Episode 1 got 3.4% ratings but dropped to 2.860% in episode 2, despite audience interest and early positive reviews and commentary, not to mention popular … Continue reading →
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 … Continue reading →
Everything about tvN K-drama Flower of Evil looks great, and I’m impressed the production has its stuff together to hold a press conference a week before its premiere. Nowadays its always scrambling and more scrambling so a well organized drama is much appreciated. Flower premieres next Wednesday on July 29th, taking over the time slot from Oh My Baby. Leads … Continue reading →
Whenever I see new stills and previews for upcoming tvN drama Flower of Evil I keep wanting to yell “but what about the child(ren)?” Lol, that’s the catchphrase for the morality police but here I do think that the whole scenario of Daddy Lee Jun Ki being a formerly bad/evil person living a pretend life to Mommy Moon Chae Won … Continue reading →
We’re wrapping up June 2020 and coming in the end of July will be new K-drama Flower of Evil, starring the flower of niceness Lee Jun Ki himself finally tapping into his evil/nice dichotomy. Promotions are starting and the first is Lee Jun Ki chilling in casual wear in the pages of GQ Korea. He deftly switches between blinding smile … Continue reading →
K-dramas are no stranger to the anti-hero but making an uber baddie the male lead is pretty rare. What I’m bracing myself for is actually having to hate Lee Jun Ki in upcoming Flower of Evil because he’s already giving off total sociopath vibes and that means he’s killing it in the acting department. His character had erased his evil/bad … Continue reading →
