The Worst Evil

I didn't intend to leave a review, but after seeing the title of a review "Been there, done that", it's hard to not write a review about the show since that's not all about this show. Based on the review and the date the review was published, I can tell the reviewer only have watched the first episode only, or the half of the second episode at most. The show's trailer and the first 2 episodes did come off as a typical double spy escapade. I also didn't expect anything new. However, the plot gets more complicated and fresh from the 3rd episode. The episode 4 and 5 are even better. 2 hours have just gone so fast. This isn't just a tug of war kind of show where a guy tries to hide his identity, and another guy tries to reveal a rat. It's not that simple, and the plot is more 3 dimensionally interwoven with other characters which is the fresh take of the genre indeed. It's probably better to judge the show after watching the whole episodes, but so far so good. It's hard to find the flaws yet. It's also nice to see that the production of the show expressed homage towards late 80s and early 90 hong kong noir during episode 4 and 5. Don't get discouraged by the common theme of this show. Give it a try. I guarantee you'll notice a fresh breath of air.

It has been a wild since i saw K-Drama attracted me like this one!!

Each Episode made me so eager to watch the next one ASAP , even my Mom loved it and watching it with me.

Respect Wook's role and how he nailed it so damn well more than any other role he has ever made.

But we have another equal hero "Wi Ha-joon" his role is unique the bad guy makes you afraid of him and at the same time the good guy with soft side loyal to his friends & family taking responsibility but he is jut got involved in wrong way.

As a recap since I am a K-drama fan for almost 2000 or 2002 his drama is a MUST TO WATCH.

How the hell do you write a review of this series without making it all about Ji Chang Wook and how he owns this character!? I mean, I have watched all of his dramas and I knew he was good but this was just another lever. You literally can see him transform going through all the experiences he is living, and evolving from human to emotionless monster in seconds from one scene to another. Such powerful performance.

Wi Ha Joon was great too, I knew he was great in action dramas but I thought his role in Bad and Crazy made him shine more.

I also have to make a special mention to BiBi who I already loved as a singer but this is my first time watching as an actress, she is freaking 25 and her presence on screen was outstanding. Her chemistry between the male lead is off the roof.

And you can actually see the moments were the male lead is conflicted and he knows his morals and values are being compromised and he is just surrendering...

I really loved how grey and non predictable the characters are written and the dynamics of the relationships are.

Least cliché ending ever too, and that was just perfect.

The drama overall is just amazing. Pace is just right, not one moment of boredom while you are watching it. Thrilling, with great action scenes to watch too ( if you are like me a fan of bloody fights) and amazing music, really tasteful and unique, made it sound somehow like we were watching movie set in southamerica and their mafias with the Spanish guitars, awesome feeling.

Watch it now, you won't regret it.

Definitely one of the best kdramas of 2023! The cinematography is insane and the character dynamics are so interesting!! I'm so excited to see where this goes as I've been seeing many exciting theories with interesting possible plot twists so far.. also the acting is INSANEE the lead actors definitely portray all of the emotions perfectly and I actually cried during the 4th episode. This drama definitely changes my Wednesday I LOVE ITT Note: don't watch it if you easily ship characters or else you'll end up shipping EVERYONE with each other because they all have insane chemistry.

Also I have a feeling that "the worst of evil" is going to be someone very unexpected.

This drama tells the journey of an undercover police officer to infiltrate a major crime syndicate. This syndicate often distributes illegal drugs. Presenting a storyline that is unexpected or even has a surprise effect, even though many Korean detective themed drama have already been recognized, this story is fresh and hard to predict, it is not monotonous, the audience is also shown how persistent a police officer is in eradicating crime, especially in dismantling large organizations or Drug Cartel. Set in the 1990s, this drama series looks more natural with good cinematography. In my opinion, many people like dramas with criminal themes like this because the unique storyline shows each case and how to solve a case and how someone can stand their ground and remain strong until the end.
