Greed leads to Evil

Although the plot is not unique, it is certainly interesting and a fun journey. It makes you want to keep coming back for more. I started Evilive for Shin Ha Kyun who I enjoyed seeing in Beyond Evil. However, Kim Young Kwang is a total treat to watch and is perfect as a gangster that keeps you guessing.

Don't let the 18+ rating turn you away from this. Although there is some gore, it doesn't drag into the series once it starts going and it is more to do with the journey of the two leads and how they impact each other. Although, Shin Jae Ha doesn't have a huge role, you will find yourself concerned for him and feel connected with his character within this complicated situation. His brother plays an exceptionally smart character that has a knack for quick thinking in difficult and dangerous situations.

This series doesn't represent the fight between good versus evil but rather how one defines greed and whether there is room for an acceptable evil.

All actors have done a remarkable job. Bae Na Ra is another eye candy and I will be looking out for him in future projects.

The opening theme for Evilive, In the Darkest Night, is lovely and the other OST, Prayer, is quite soothing.
