Group of people having a serious conversation.

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.

Flower of Evil Rocking and Rolling with Secrets and Sleuthing in Episodes 7-8 as Ratings Stay Higher at 3.526% and 3.863%

Two people discussing in a cozy cafe.

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 →

Flower of Evil Continues to Deliver Melodrama Perfection as Wifey Learns the Truth in Episode 6 with Ratings of 3.615%

Doctor and patient in serious conversation.

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 →

Lee Jun Ki Faces Off with First Big Antagonist in Episode 5 of Flower of Evil as Drama Brings in 2.973%

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 12, 2020 by ockoalaAugust 13, 2020
Scene from a tense office meeting.

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 →

Flower of Evil Goes From Good to Great Starting in Episode 3 as Ratings Go Back Up to 3.116%

A Koala's Playground Posted on August 6, 2020 by ockoalaAugust 6, 2020
Group meeting with a contemplative individual.

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 →

Flower of Evil Drops in Second Episode Ratings to 2.860% Despite Early Positive Reviews

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 30, 2020 by ockoalaJuly 30, 2020
Scene from a tense office meeting.

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 →

Romantic moment between a couple in a workshop.

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 →

Flower of Evil Prepares to Bloom with Lee Jun Ki and Moon Chae Won in a Marital Cat and Mouse Game

Actors posing at a promotional event.

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 →

Previews for tvN Drama Flower of Evil with Lee Jun Ki and Moon Chae Won Contrast Happy Family with Dark Lies

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 10, 2020 by ockoalaJuly 14, 2020
Dramatic arm wrestling between two characters.

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 →

Lee Jun Ki Turns From Warm Dad to Sociopath in New Poster and Teaser for tvN Drama Flower of Evil

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 17, 2020 by ockoalaJune 18, 2020
Dramatic arm wrestling between two characters.

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 →

Duality is the Core of the Character Poster for tvN Drama Flower of Evil with Lee Jun Ki and Moon Chae Won

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 10, 2020 by ockoalaJune 10, 2020
K-drama poster featuring two main characters.

I was hoping Lee Jun Ki would be playing a wrongfully accused baddie in Flower of Evil running from his past but from all the posters including this latest one it just looks certain like he’s really the evil one. Sigh, there goes my happy ending but at least the angst will be through the roof since Moon Chae Won … Continue reading →

Romantic silhouette of a couple embracing.

I like the bottom poster better for the sheer intensity but the top poster just makes my love addled heart pitter patter. tvN released two official drama posters for upcoming melodrama thriller Flower of Evil with Lee Jun Ki and Moon Chae Won, almost going overboard with the skinskip after their first go around in Criminal Minds was a straight … Continue reading →

Lee Jun Ki and Moon Chae Won Lead Script Reading for Summer 2020 tvN Drama Flower of Evil

A Koala's Playground Posted on May 18, 2020 by ockoalaMay 17, 2020
Two smiling individuals making a fist gesture.

Round two, here we go! The pairing of Lee Jun Ki and Moon Chae Won has always been a K-ent anticipation but their first drama together was the pure procedural Criminal Minds adaptation and didn’t give us their full talents in the natural K-drama glory. This time we get it with their reunited and it feels so painfully good sounding … Continue reading →
