+ Misty => honestly think this is one of the best korean dramas ever produced. But it is build for a more mature audience. Meaning there are themes that will not appeal to a younger people. I am actually also not so sure if you will like the ending with the info you have provided. Still it is one of the best korean dramas. So I recommend it too but just be aware :)
Anyways for other dramas;
Train
My Mister
Lie after Lie
Black
Pinocchio - This is older but don't drop it. It is a really really good drama and probably right what you look for. Just the beginning takes a little. But the mystery? The heartache? secret identity? being on the one side but also on the opposite between the couple? All there. added to it working together, secret relationship, living together and so on.

I agree with you !! It's one of my favourite....& about Lie after Lie the concept is so similar but many of the fans don't really liked it tho not so sure if it's worth it or not; I'll try the other ones for sure!

I watched Lie after Lie and agree that it wasn't quite what I was expecting. Melodrama definitely isn't for me and this had a lot of it. The thrill was also not there but it did have some interesting plot twists. If you're looking for something similar to Flower of Evil, in terms of identity theme it's kinda similar but not really in any other way. I didn't know until just now that FoE is tagged as melodrama T_T whaat??
I've not found any drama that quite matches Flower of Evil. It's a unique experience but here are some that imo come close and why I think so...
- Blind - Similarities: Wrongfully accused, lots of pain, suffering, and angst, edge of your seat thrill, plot twists galore, strong FLs, good team dynamics, psychological, double identities. Differences: Blind is more of your typical detective drama while FoE has this extra layer of melodrama. Ending spoiler: Bittersweet
- I feel like this one is the closest overall in terms of themes, pacing and closeness. The praise for this drama is high, however I didn't enjoy it a whole lot (I found the writing to be a wee bit lacking) xD
- The Veil - Similarities: Wrongfully accused, lots of pain, suffering, and angst, interesting and well-crafted story, edge of your seat thrill, plot twists galore, strong FLs, psychological, double identities, banger OST. Differences: The Veil is a spy/agent thriller so the themes are less intimate than FoE, no romance (but kinda in subtext depending on your pov). Ending spoiler: somewhat bittersweet but positive
- Absolutely amazing drama and I feel like this comes the closest in terms of pacing, thrill, plot, writing, and angst. I loved this one and highly recommend!
- +1 Nobody Knows - Similarities: Lots of pain and angst, interesting and well-crafted story, plot twists galore, strong FLs, psychological, double identities, good OST. Differences: Nobody Knows is slower paced and doesn't have the wrongfully accused scenario that is front and center in FoE, more focused on the investigation part. Ending spoiler: Happy ending
- This one is also pretty close in pretty much every way and I actually did enjoy it too ^^
More action, less close/intimate plot:
- Big Mouth - Similarities: Wrongfully accused, lots of pain, suffering, and angst, solid plot, edge of your seat thrill, plot twists galore, slight romance, strong FLs, banger OST. Differences: Big Mouth is set in a prison and follows filthy rich people's corruption, more action. Beware of the ending, spoiler: Sad ending.
- Another banger that came pretty close to giving me the feels that FoE gave.
- Bad Guys - Similarities: Wrongfully accused, lots of pain, suffering, and angst, edge of your seat thrill, plot twists galore, strong FLs, good team dynamics, ML from FoE is very similar to 4th ML from BG in terms of personality & plot situation. Differences: Bad Guys is more action focused and less intimate if that makes sense, more of a case-of-the week situation. Ending spoiler: Happy ending
Let me know if you want additional info ^^ Best of luck
FoE is tagged as melodramaArclei:
how come it's tagged as melodrama!? no wayyyy> to be honest FOE is really unique,, it deals with a lot of emotions not many dramas tagged as thriller & romance, can do this good! It's on my to 10 now,, I guess we only get this types of drama one in a decade~
BlindArclei:
yup this one is on my list! And the start seems to be promising.
The VeilArclei:
never heard of this one,, will try out!
Nobody KnowsArclei:
umm I kinda dropped it at episode 1 cause I didn't like the fl? She was kinda old TT TT
Big MouthArclei:
I love Jung Suk's work still not watching it for the trauma like Moon Lovers,,
Bad GuysArclei:
I wonder why you ain't recommending the Korean one rather than the remake? Yet never considersing watching it at first thanks for the info it's on my list one!
The thrill was also not there but it did have some interesting plot twists. If you're looking for something similar to Flower of Evil, in terms of identity theme it's kinda similar but not really in any other wayArclei:
I'm still giving a try to Lie after Lie without any big expectation;
lastly thanks a lot for recommending all these new new names!!
