    Great series, worth your while

    Even though the series is only halfway aired at the time of this review, I can tell this is going to be one of my all time favourites. I am not someone who usually watches kdramas (this is the second one I've ever watched), as I find some of the clichés that are often used in kdramas not that interesting (like for example the girl falling for a guy that is rude and demanding and by modern standards not boyfriend material). This series however does not feel at all clichéd, but rather, it's on par with some of the best international series I've seen so far.

    Each episode keeps you on your toes and guessing. It sets the protagonist (Baek Hee Sung/Do Hyun Soo) up as an unfeeling serial killer, but the audience is kept guessing after the truth. Despite Hee Sung's cold appearance, they make us care about him by showing his (faked or not? I still don't know) caring and loving side. Is he a serial killer who happens to be good at faking emotion, or is he a misunderstood man with antisocial personality disorder who doesn't realise he loves his own family? If he isn't the killer, who is? The serie deals with the prejudice someone can receive simply for having a mental disorder. It also deals wonderfully with the dilemma of the protagonist's wife Cha Ji Won: should I keep feigning ignorance to keep my family intact and protect my daughter, or should I pursue the truth and risk losing everything if it turns out my husband is a murderer? Even if he isn't a murderer, he lied to me for 15 years, should I ignore that? Can I keep loving someone who is physically incapable to love me back, even though for all intents and purposes he has been the perfect loving husband and father?

    The actors play their respective parts incredibly well. Especially Lee Joon Gi (as Baek Hee Sung/Do Hyun Soo) deserves an applause for perfectly playing a man who is incapable of feeling most human emotion, but who is desperately playing a part to protect the life he lives. Especially his control over his facial muscles jumped out to me in one episode (I think it was episode 5?), I didn't even know it was possible to do that! He makes me feel sympathy for him - I am definitely rooting for him to get what he wants most! Also, the child actor who plays Baek Eun Ha, the couple's daughter, is surprisingly good at acting and immediately melts your heart - especially seeing her interactions with her father.

    In short: if you like suspense series with a little bit of romance, if you like being surprised with a twist every episode, if you enjoy stellar acting and good writing - this is the next series you definitely should put on your watchlist.

    Flower of Evil is a masterpiece

    This drama is a masterpiece. We are on the edge of seat, holding our breath, crying, laughing, or even experiencing an anxiety attack because of lee joon gi act. He is really fabulous

    SURPASSED MY EXPECTATION

    This is insanely good! How come everything was so good? The cast, the angles, the script, the soundtrack. Like HOW?? I don't get it. This drama just set a new bar for me on what is considered great for Kdrama. Haven't felt this way since the Innocent Man. And Lee Joon Gi really surpasses my expectation. He made me cry a lot just in 1 episode. BUT HOW COME??? It started out very tricky when I found out about the plot. It could easily went downhill with that kind of story. But you all made it flow beautifully and very very very engaging. I can't stop myself watching it over and over again. It is just how good the serie is. This is legit my new favorite of Kdrama for melodrama genre.

    Please whoever the director is, create more emotionally engaging dramas like this.

    Best series I've ever watched... korean or otherwise.

    I am new to the kdrama world... I've seen about 15 of them in the last months (and it's true what they say... once you start, anything non-korean becomes pale in comparison)

    But THIS series was... something else. It was tragic, creepy, romantic, stressful, exciting, beautiful, moving, cruel, horrible... all at once. And it's absolutely NOT predictable. Every time you think you know, you realize you don't. And everything comes together in the most perfect of ways. I cried, I screamed... I went through SO many emotions!

    (Also... Lee Joon Gi is a master at his craft. He's hands down the best actor out there if you ask me!)

    Amazing in all of aspects

    That was awesome! Incredible ! Feeling like how much I say about this drama is not enough. I've been seeing Korean dramas since many years ago (probably 8 years, less or more), and have seen more than 100 dramas till now. As I see, it was the best one among all of them! Well, almostly every episod was so exciting, and the story, actors,etc all were amazing. I strongly recommend it yo you.
