Lee, who garnered the most votes, has recently received global rave reviews and accolades for his brilliant portrayal of an emotionless ‘psychopathic’ personality in the suspense-melodrama, Flower of Evil (2020). 


The multihyphenate superstar from Asia has captured global attention and imagination since he catapulted to fame and popularity after starring in the movie, The King and The Clown (2005). He has proven his talents and commercial worth again and again in his movies and dramas. His other famous works include Time Between Dog and Wolf (2007), Joseon Gunman (2014), Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016), Lawless Lawyer (2018) and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, one of the highest grossing movies in 2017.


Unsurprisingly, Cultura, the South Korean magazine for the arts and culture, has recently proclaimed Lee Joon Gi as the ‘2020 Icon’ (Drama) for his latest success, Flower of Evil.


Flower of Evil has made the landmark achievement as the globe's first 'SUSPENSE-MELODRAMA'.


The unique plot of the 16-episode drama is as riveting and relentless as it is melodramatic. The drama, directed by  Kim Cheol Kyu, an international award-winning director, can be described as ‘a high-octane suspenseful thriller-cum-an intense, emotional tale of love and devotion’.







Lee Joon Gi's fans might like to know that Turkey, a country which possesses one of the world’s most beautiful and picturesque natural landscapes, is a mandatory travel destination. 






Cappadocia and Pamukkale are two of the many fascinating places in Turkey. The fairytale-like volcanic rock formations of Cappadocia make one think of enchanting fairies and elves frolicking there. And, the sparkling white Pamukkale travertine terraces are simply out-of-this world.


But, most people are not aware of what must be Turkey’s most extraordinary miracle. On 20 August 2006, the Virgin Mary House in Ephesus was spared from the flames of an enormous fire that destroyed 1,200 hectares of forest. The flames stopped one metre short of the shrine.

In awarding Lee Joon Gi with ‘BEST LEADING ACTOR’, the Viu Team must have found it easy to voice their tribute.

 

‘Lee Joon-Gi gave an absolutely amazing and hair-raising performance in Flower of Evil! The way he was able to shift from psychopath to an emotional husband and father who just wants to protect his family – he deserves all the awards! Add to this, his good chemistry and synergy with Moon Chae-Won just made the show more electrifying every week.’


Wow. There will be a lot of rejoicing.

 

 

 

 


Flower of Evil is the Viu Team’s choice as well as Viuniverse Poll Winner. The Viu Team has this to say about FLOWER of EVIL, the BEST DRAMA of 2020.

 






‘An amazing feat for Flower of Evil! Amazing directing, writing, and acting from Lee Joon Gi and Moon Chae Won! With this trifecta of story elements, it’s no surprise that people tuned into the show every week excited to see what happens next!’

 

One couldn’t agree more. Well said.

In the same TV Series Awards, Flower of Evil garnered 598,476 votes, and whilst being placed third in the Top 10 Most Popular Overseas Dramas, the trial-blazing Suspense-Melodrama masterpiece, is ranked the NUMBER ONE (1st) South Korean Drama. 


Interestingly, the first and second ranked overseas dramas, which are ‘Boy Love’ (BL) or LGBT dramas, are from Thailand. The BL genre features gay romances.

Flower of Evil is an insight-laden story about a man whose life has been emotionally and psychologically brutalised just because he is the son of a psychopath. Love appears and his life is changed and lifted to a different level. 


The drama combines SUSPENSE (martial arts action / mystery / crime) with MELODRAMA (romance / tragedy). Generally, martial arts / action stars in movies and dramas look tough and stoic; they always never cry.


But, in Flower of Evil, the chief character portrayed by Lee Joon Gi, the amazing ACTOR and MARTIAL ARTS / ACTION STAR, fights and cries. As Do Hyun Soo, Lee looks tough and soft at the same time. 


He looks like a PSYCHOPATH and yet he is so VULNERABLE - he cries like a BABY. Tough yet helpless. 


And, Cha Ji Won, his indulgent detective wife, played by Moon Chae Won, treats him like her child or baby. 

 






What the scriptwriter and the director of Flower of Evil have orchestrated is a fresh story and a startlingly original plot.  The drama puts a completely different perspective on the talents and the capabilities of the multi-talented actor, Lee Joon Gi. 


No other actor can be like Lee. Incomparable. One cannot imagine another great action star or actor playing the angsty Do Hyun Soo. Lee Joon Gi is in a league of his own.
