Without a doubt the best drama I've ever seen

Wow. This drama sunk its hooks in me and took over my life like no other drama before. Don't get me wrong, I've been entirely consumed by dramas in the past, but never like this. Flower of Evil is another breed of drama. From the very beginning, right through to the very end, I was so completely hooked.

As for the story, there was never a dull moment. Every single twist and turn had me bursting with emotion. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The plot was fresh and unpredictable. It didn't pander to the audience yet still kept me satisfied.

The acting was definitely the strongest point of the drama. The chemistry between Lee Joongi and Moon Chaewon is so powerful, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the news broke that they'd been secretly married for 10 years. They just work so well together and their interactions seem so genuine and natural. Bring in Jung Seoyeon as their daughter and it's such a perfect little family. And, speaking of Jung Seoyeon, I've never seen such a young child act so well! She's a truly talented little person. They all made such lovable characters, it was difficult not to become deeply invested.

On the flip side of that, there were some actors that were equally powerful and impactful, but in the complete opposite way. Namely, Choi Byungmo and Kim Jihoon. They played such terrifying characters, I have to commend them. They seriously freaked me out, probably more than any other characters I've witnessed in my 20 years of life. Honestly, they gave me chills, especially Kim Jihoon. Completely and utterly horrifying - I seriously can't praise his acting enough.

The soundtrack of the drama wasn't its strongest point, but it definitely wasn't bad. Maybe I was just preoccupied by other things, but not much of it stood out to me. With the exception of "Feel You" by Shin Yongjae, that is; an absolutely beautiful song that really heightened the emotional value of the scenes it featured in.

Overall, this drama was just incredible. I'll probably recommend it to everyone I meet in life. I already have plans to rewatch it with some friends in a few weeks, and even though I just finished it a few hours ago, I already can't wait to experience it all over again.
