The Worst Evil

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.

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.

I am absolutely loving this series. In it's evolution it has challenged the good versus bad stereotype, and takes the viewer in with each thrilling twist and turn. You are drawn in, and engulfed in the life or death need to outwit the enemy which is revolving. What you may think is a plot that we have seen before, ends up turning down the dark alleys and corridors making us wonder where we are going to wind up. The actors are doing justice to each of their characters, and I am engrossed in the way they bring each character to life as I am on the edge of my seat with the suspense of the chase, or the hunt. The tables keep turning, and I am here for all of it. It is so nice to have a series like this with high caliber acting, story line, and let's not forget ACTION! The fight scenes are visceral and gruesome, yet it seems refreshing to see fight scenes that feel so raw and real. All 10 Stars for me.

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.

The show has impressed me so far. The action is raw and real. Somehow the fancy choreographed action scenes that JCW did brilliantly in The K2 would not have fit here. JCW is my favourite but the show did not immediately get me hooked. As I went through each episode, I got invested in the story and characters without realizing and look forward to what happens next. It's a bummer they didn't release all episodes together. I would have seen them in one go. I like that. JCW's character is driven to the undercover operation for the selfish motive of rising up the ranks. It makes his character more believable.
