Who is the Worst of the Evil?

I really enjoyed this drama. It was full of suspense, and excitement, and each episode kept me on my toes.
I like how complex the main lead characters are, like for JM I couldn't tell if he really was going to turn to the dark side???

I like the dynamic friendship between Jun Mo and Gi Chul. They became good friends, and I believe that Jun Mo viewed Gi Chul as his friend, while he was undercover. Like JM can see GC is not a bad person, but he makes poor choices and chooses a bad life. When Jun Mo lets GC go in the last episode, I can see that Jun Mo cares for Gi Chul.

Most of the side characters were good, and I liked their performance as well.

I think the ending was good and satisfying. There really wasn't anything bad I can think about it like GC needs to pay for his crime, and he did that by wanting to kill himself, but JunMo killed him instead. Also, I think the wife was conflicted between Jun Mo and Gi Chul. I think she still holds some nostalgic feelings towards GiChul, which could explain why she never threw away the cross necklace that GiChul gave to her.

In the end, Jun Mo and his wife ended their relationship; kind of sad about it; but there's just too much so I guess divorce is best for them.

I like Haeryung and her bodyguard. He is loyal and committed to protecting HR. I wish they could have ended up together.

In the end, Junmo gets promoted and successfully completes his undercover task, but in the end; he is left with no wife and loneliness. He ended up befriending with GiChul, and in the end, he lost his friend as well as his wife.

So who is really the worst of the evil?????? Or maybe it's no one, that's for you to figure out :).

Overall 8/10. 9/10 for JCW and WHJ's bromance :)!!!!

This drama peaked at the end of episode 7.

...Which sucks, because that was just when it was really getting good.

The positive things about this drama:

OST. Phenomenal, stylistic and perfectly mood-setting.
Cinematography.
Acting. Even from the supporting characters.
Overall the production and styling were outstanding.

But it's not without its flaws. Mostly coming from the writing. At times the plot focuses on stellar action packed episodes full of tension between the gang and cops, and among gang members, others it diverts to the "romance" (whatever the hell you want to call this dysfunctional love square) for what feels like nonstop scenes or even entire episodes on end. The love square here became insufferable in episodes 8 and 9 and didn't let up. The show went from brilliant in episodes 1-7 to the leader of the gang just wanting Joonmo's wife. They really threw away his entire character development.

"Double dates" abound. The tension they were going for got really repetitive. How many times is Bibi going to show up when Joonmo is with Kichul and FL and taunt them for long scenes at a dinner table? How many times is the director going to have Joonmo give jealous glares? It became boring and awful, and this is from a romantic tension lover. Usually I can't get enough. This drama would have been SO much stronger without Joonmo's wife being involved.

Drama portrays every thing was easy then or the people were fooled easily

JCW is one of my favourite guys. I read some of the 10star reviews of this drama, here on MDL. But had to force myself to watch till episode 3. Didn't like anything - how easy it was to take over the gangnam by killing the old boss, how easily JCW fooled the boss, passed off as dead friend's cousin and became the must trusted guy and how easily they killed off the Busan gang leader. Just too easy and I find it hard to believe.
I liked JCW actions, he's does best of the best actions. The fight scenes are well acted.
P.S. does using cuss words in every f***ing line make it a good 90s crime drama. Felt more like teens acting off as grown-ups by using big cuss words.

A Riveting and Realistic Crime Drama Set in the 1990s

CHAT-GPT4 writing review for The Worst of Evil (2023):

The Worst of Evil is a gripping and gritty crime drama that takes the viewers on a thrilling ride through the dark underworld of drug trafficking in the 1990s. The show boasts a stellar cast, a captivating plot, and a realistic portrayal of the era.

The acting and cast are one of the strongest points of the show. Ji Chang Wook delivers a powerful performance as Park Joon Mo, a police officer who goes undercover to infiltrate a mega crime syndicate that distributes illegal drugs across South Korea, China, and Japan. He shows his versatility and range as he switches between his dual identities and faces various challenges and dangers. Wi Ha Joon is equally impressive as Jung Ki Chul, a former DJ who becomes the mastermind behind the new drug Gangnam Crystal. He exudes charisma and menace as he rules the nightclubs and the streets with his ruthless ambition. Im Se Mi shines as Yoo Eui Jung, Joon Mo's wife and a narcotics officer who is also involved in the mission. She portrays her character's strength, vulnerability, and complexity with skill and grace. The chemistry between the leads is palpable and their relationship adds an emotional layer to the story. The supporting cast is also excellent, especially Bae Myung Jin as Bae Yong Dae, Joon Mo's loyal friend and partner, and Dok Go Young Jae as Song Dong Hyuk, the veteran police chief who oversees the operation.

The music of the show is another highlight. The soundtrack features songs from the 1990s that fit the mood and atmosphere of the scenes. The songs range from upbeat and catchy to melancholic and haunting, reflecting the different emotions and themes of the show. Some of the memorable songs include "Gangnam Style" by PSY, "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston, "Losing My Religion" by R.E.M., and "Creep" by Radiohead.

The story of the show is well-written and well-paced. The plot is full of twists and turns that keep the viewers on the edge of their seats. The show explores various issues such as corruption, loyalty, betrayal, love, revenge, and redemption. The show also does a great job of recreating the 1990s era with its costumes, props, settings, and references. The show does not shy away from depicting the violence and brutality of the drug world, but it also balances it with moments of humor and warmth.

The re-watch value of the show is high. The show has many layers and details that can be appreciated more with repeated viewings. The show also has a satisfying and surprising ending that makes the viewers want to revisit the journey of the characters.

Overall, The Worst of Evil is a must-watch for fans of crime dramas. It is a quality production that showcases the talents of its cast and crew. It is a show that will keep you hooked from start to finish. I give it 9 out of 10 stars.

Shocking and fascinating reality

I have watched three episodes and I can say that I already like it. This drama has a good storyline that is unexpected or even has the effect of surprise, even though many Korean detective dramas are already recognized, this story is fresh and has unexpected twists and turns in every episode - it's exciting and keeps me in suspense like it.
The acting is first-class in all GG. Especially Ji Chang Wook - his transformation as an actor is impressive. The battle scenes are so real that you start to worry on a physical level about the condition of the actors. The fight scenes in the drama were perfectly staged without equipment, everything was real and raw.
I also like the interaction between Jang Wook and Ha Joon. I think that this will be revealed to a greater extent later in the plot.
I also liked the OSTs. All without exception.
Looking forward to further episodes.

100% Recommended!! Incredible cast, storyline and brilliant plot execution ( An early stage review)

I WANTED TO BE THE FIRST TO REVIEW THIS SO BAD xD( tho i 100% sound so immature)

This has undoubtedly been the most awaited series this year and I was so excited for it that I watched all three episodes right at release time and I have to say, it certainly DID NOT disappoint. I think that the show's lineup of actors Ji Chang Wook and Wi Ha Jun is pretty interesting because the plotline of this drama seems like its mixing together Ji Chang Wook's ambitious, tenacious character and Wi Ha Joon's somewhat sweet but a psycho character from their previous works really perfectly. And ofcourse their acting in this show is just AMAZINGG and so coooooooooooool.

It gives me the vibes that I got from flower of evil and little women- that whole "Turned bad to survive in a cruel and unfair world" feeling if ya'll get what I mean.

Don't want to spoil anything much for anyone but I'll just say that this seems like a very promising drama at its current stage and if you liked tv shows like Flower of evil and Little women this is a must recommend as this tv show also shows a lot about how the real world is and how it changes people in a very raw and realistic manner.

It's a representation of how some "bad" people just ended up in that place trying to protect what's dear to them whether its their friend, family or even their dignity.

I hope my rating for this show stays 10/10 till the end ;)

LOVED IT

This kind of drama with thrillers, suspense, violence & action is what I watch most. I used to watch the Mexican & Colombian Narco-Series, which had many episodes & seasons. This is the first K-Drama I've watched that includes violence. I enjoyed it a lot.

Nobody is a Saint here. If you're a saint, this job isn't for you.

Park Joon Mo is a police officer. He is arrogant, has a lot of attitude & also cunning. His fighting between right & wrong. His hurt face whenever Jung Ki Chul mentions his wife & insults him. Ji Chang Wook was awesome in this drama, he killed it with his performance.

Jung Ki Chul is a drug dealer. He is smart, not like other gangsters who are always temperamental and don't use their brains. He calculatively takes his next steps. It's a pity that his this kind of move faded in the end. Wi Ha Joon did a phenomenal job. Loved his acting. First time watching him & he left a good impression.

Jung Ki Chul & his friend's brotherhood, loyalty ended because of power-hunger & money. I didn't like how his friends used to address him as 'Sir' when they were all partners. I think this is the biggest reason why their friendship turned out like that in the end.

Yoo Eui Jung is an elite officer who is related to both of them. She doesn't have much of a scene time. I mean her betrayal affected Jung Ki Chul the most. But without her, the story would've been the same.

Loved Lee Hae Ryeon. I didn’t know it was BiBi. Her acting is good.

Loved Park Joon Mo & Lee Hae Ryeon. Their kissing scene uff. She ate him.

Love Jung Ki Chul walks with his gang. So classy & stylish.

The fight they had in the narrow alley with other gang members is also my favorite scene.

Discomfort between Park Joon Mo & Yoo Eui Jung after seeing each other with someone else.

To the length of madness, Park Joon Mo went in episode 9. It was crazy but also awesome.

Lee Hae Ryeon & her bodyguard relationship & what he did for her at last.

I wish Park Joon Mo & Yoo Eui Jung had talked to each other about all of this in the end, then it would've been better. I mean they won't go back to being what they were, but at least talking would've helped even if it was about a breakup.

Loved the execution of fighting scenes.

If you're okay with violence & narcotic stuff, then give it a try. You may like it.

Perfectly-crafted, Soul-shattering!

This drama is fabulous, as a fan of thrillers I approve of it very easily. But it could have some modifications (only a little, but a little is still important).
Let’s break the aspects down one-by-one;

Story: The story was creative, although the core plot is not new. I mean we all have seen one such story before where a cop goes undercover to join the criminals and ends up sympathizing for them. But in ‘The Worst of Evil’ however, it doesn’t quite follow the same plot. it’s unique in its own way. Overall it’s great. I have one question though; in the last episode, it was clear that both Euijeong and Junmo had a soft-corner for Gicheul, proven by the fact that Junmo let him go and didn’t arrest him and Euijeong constantly telling him to stop doing bad things.
Then why did Junmo had to shoot him? I get that he was trying to stop Gicheul from killing himself so that Euijeong gets saved from the guilt of being the reason behind his death, but couldn’t he just shoot him in the leg or something to prevent his suicide? I don’t know, maybe I’m dumb but couldn’t it be simpler?
One of the reasons behind it might be that although Junmo liked Gicheul, he was blinded by the fact that he was his wife’s past-lover who was still in love with her, and Euijeong also obviously had feelings for him. So in the conflict of emotions, he might’ve decided to kill him.
The ending was very bittersweet, but all the characters received their closure so I was pretty satisfied.

I think the general idea of this drama is that the worst form of evil is deceiving somebody. As everybody in the story had deceived somebody in their life, nobody really got their happy ending. The story was well-crafted to show this.

Cast & Acting: One of the sole reasons behind starting this drama was Wi Ha-joon for me, so that pretty much tells you how well the actors did their job. This was the first time I saw Ji Changwook act, and man did he eat the role up. He was so good at it. Casting didn’t have any issues, all the actors did a great job. Bibi? Man how can she act so well as somebody who isn’t originally an actor? It’s a boon to be so versatile, really. She was awesome.

Soundtrack: It’s a webseries, a thriller one on top of that, so it doesn’t really have your typical kdrama OSTs. But the soundtrack was good, did the job for making the scenes more effective and creating an overall impact.

So, that’s about it. That is what I felt about this drama. It was a great watch for me, and I would recommend it to everyone looking for a good traumatizing thriller.
