FLOWER OF
EVIL
CELEBRATES
WONDERFUL REUNIONS
 
The Flower of Evil
cast, which is spearheaded by Lee Joon Gi, is a unique blend of experience,
skills, top and fresh talents. Lee is reunited with many of his friends and
colleagues from reel life as well as from real life. Meeting such friends and co-stars again must have made Lee nostalgic and life on the film set must be real fun. The
dynamic dream team, which is helmed by Director Kim Cheol Gyu, is expected to bring strength, vigour, passion, excitement and pure magic to the drama.
2015
THE SCHOLAR WHO WALKS THE NIGHT
LEE
JOON GI, JANG HEE JIN & SON JONG HAK
Lee Joon Gi’s two co-stars from the 2015 historical fantasy drama,
The Scholar Who Walks The Night, who have joined him in Flower of Evil are Jang Hee Jin and Son Jong Hak.
Jang Hee Jin portrays Soo Hyang, the Head of the Hwayang-gak,
who is recruited to be the assistant of Kim
Sung Yeol, a beautiful 150-year old vampire played by Lee Joon Gi. Saved
by Kim Sung Yeol, the loyal and faithful Soo Hyang falls
irrevocably in love with him but her love is unreciprocated.
The other co-star is Son Jong Hak who plays the incredibly
corrupt, rapacious and cold-blooded Prime Minister Choi Chul Joong.
The court official has no qualms about working for Gwi, an evil vampire who has killed his daughter.
In Flower of Evil,
Lee Joon Gi portrays Baek Hee Sung.
Jang Hee Jin portrays his older sister, Do
Hae Soo. Baek’s original family name is Do.
Son Jong Hak plays Baek
Man Woo, Baek Hee Sung’s
father, not his biological father but probably an adoptive one.
2016
MOON LOVERS: SCARLET HEART RYEO
LEE JOON GI & CHOI BYUNG MO 
In the 2016 drama, Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, Choi Byung Mo portrays Park Young Kyu, the Foreign Minister and the father-in-law of Wang Yo (Third Prince). They conspire to kill King Taejo. Lee
Joon Gi plays Wang So, the Fourth Prince and Emperor
Gwangjong.
They were not directly involved in any conflict in the previous drama but one
wonders about the excitement their new collaboration would bring to Flower
of Evil.
2017
CRIMINAL MINDS: KOREA
LEE JOON GI, MOON CHAE WON & YOON BYUNG HEE 
Lee Joon Gi’s two co-stars from Criminal Minds: Korea, Moon
Chae Won and Yoon Byung Hee, will surely enliven his new drama.
Lee Joon Gi stars as Kim Hyun Jun, an NCI Agent Profiler or
Behavioural Analyst, in the 2017 drama. Moon Chae Won, who plays Ha
Sun Woo, his NCI colleague, is set to play his loving and adoring wife in
Flower of Evil. Lee Joon Gi and Moon Chae Won will be fun and exciting to watch in the upcoming drama. Imagine their sizzling romantic chemistry!
Yoon Byung Hee plays Kang Won Hyun, a bird-brained
murder suspect, who interferes in a tense situation between Kim Hyun Jun and a mentally unbalanced scientist in Episode 3 of Criminal
Minds: Korea. Lee Joon Gi’s spectacular performance in that episode was most
unforgettable.
KIM HYUN JUN'S HIGH-OCTANE KICK
One exciting moment which catches the audience by surprise is when Kim Hyun Jun fells and flattens Kang Won Hyun with a high-octane tornado kick. Imagine Kim Hyun
Jun’s mocking look when the anxious Ha Sun Woo rushes to the scene. It
is regretful that Kim Hyun Jun and Ha Sun Woo do not have a
romantic ending in the drama.
Yoon’s role in Flower of Evil is unknown but he would
certainly add interest and fun to the drama.
2018
LAWLESS LAWYER
LEE JOON GI & CHOI DAE HOON 
Lee Joon Gi plays Bong Sang Pil, the titular lawyer in the 2018 Lawless Lawyer while Choi Dae Hoon
plays Seok Gwan Dong, a petty criminal who is later recruited by a
big-time criminal to be a subservient and loyal assistant. Lee Joon Gi and
Choi Dae Hoon’s previous collaboration is hysterically funny except for their
tragic scene in Episode 16.
 Choi plays a homicide detective this time round.
2010 – 2012
MILITARY SERVICE
LEE JOON GI & KIM JI HOON 
2012
While all those discussed previously are reel
friends and colleagues from previous dramas, there is however, a friend from real life who has joined Lee Joon Gi
in Flower of Evil.
Lee Joon Gi and Kim Ji Hoon, whom he met at the army, reunited
at the wedding of their mutual friend, Mithra Jin in 2015. All three enlisted in the army in 2010 and were discharged in 2012.
Kim Ji Hoon’s role in the drama is still unknown.
Flower of Evil is about a psychopath, Baek Hee Sung, who is married to Cha Ji Won, a homicide detective for
14 years. The couple must have married young and they produced a very cute and adorable pre-school
daughter, Baek Eun Ha.
Baek Hee Sung is the titular ‘Flower of Evil’. It seems that on the
surface, Baek is like a beautiful,
innocent FLOWER. Seething underneath is an ugly, EVIL monster.
Baek
is like Janus, 'the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality,
doorways, passages and endings'. Janus has two faces – one
looking to the PAST and another looking to the FUTURE. Baek’s past is
full of evil. He has assumed a new identity. But does he desire to reform
himself for his future?
His PAST: The surname of his biological father is Do.
His FUTURE: The family name of his adoptive family is Baek.
Baek Hee Sung’s past catches up with him
fifteen years later.
If Baek is 35 years
old, he must have wedded Cha when he was 21. What is his allure that she is so
attracted to him? Perhaps all of these. Great looks. Great artistic talents.
An aura of mystery. Romantic. An unflappable and cool temperament. Equable. The naked vulnerability in his
eyes.
If Cha doesn’t smell a rat while sharing a bed with him for 14
long years, she must have been very naïve or completely besotted with him.
Spellbound. He must have cast a spell on her. Baek Hee Sung must have worn a charming facade so successfully that she is blinded by his fake love and elaborate deception. Perhaps, it
is just a masquerade that has assumed gargantuan proportions. Masquerading
under a false name and assumed demeanour. Did he really pretend to love her
and their cute daughter for years? Is romantic love just a dangerous illusion? One can be sure that the determined and passionate Cha
Ji Won would be able to ferret out the psychopath.
Baek’s adoptive father, Baek
Man Woo, is the CEO of a university
hospital, an instituition which
combines the services of a hospital with the education of medical students
and medical research. Has the hospital to do with the research of psychopathy
and medical education of the mentally ill?
Baek Man Woo is willing to face up to his responsibility as a father and
his love for his son is unquestionable.
Flower
of Evil, the most highly anticipated
drama of 2020, will premiere on 22 July 2020 at 10:50 p.m. The final broadcast will
be on 10 September 2020. The 16-episode Wednesday-Thursday drama is written by Yoo Jung Hee, directed by
Kim Cheol Gyu, and produced by Monster Union and Studio Dragon.
