for My Mom. Jeong has appeared in numerous dramas, movies, shows and

Jeong bears a close resemblance to Lee Joon Gi and have come to the
conclusion that he might play a younger version of Baek Hee Sung.

Global fans are convinced that
Lee Joon Gi, the lead actor who plays Baek
Hee Sung, will give his finest performance as a psychopath. The same
expectation goes to lead actress, Moon Chae Won who will portray Cha Ji Won, his wife. The
multihyphenate global superstar who has always played heroes will now distance
himself from his previous roles which is a nightmare for his fans. But, Lee
Joon Gi has played a villain before - in Resident
Evil: The Final Chapter. That doesn’t count as it was a cameo role but
his fans were distressed all the same. The superb part is the movie has proved
to be the best in the Resident Evil
series in terms of box office takings, particularly in China. And, Lee Joon
Gi’s name is forever etched in Hollywood movie history.
Lee Joon Gi has come a long way
from the time he played a feminine clown in the movie, The King and the Clown. His role of Gong Gil won him may awards
and paved the way for him to play well-loved and unforgettable masculine heroes
in movies and dramas, which have earned him not only widespread praise but
also global fame. Lee Joon Gi is the most magnetic multihyphenate in the Asian showbusiness industry. Lee's natural charm and allure, sexual appeal, magical aura,
captivating energy and enormous talents remain unduplicated.
Lee’s role as a psychopath will
be challenging but is expected to be a most brilliant display of his talents.
As a metalsmith, Baek Hee Sung would
operate away from the limelight and behind the curtain in the family home. Whether
Baek's tooling in the workshop is to produce murder weapons or beautiful
works of art is a mystery. Baek Hee
Sung cannot be written off as a lunatic or crackpot. Mental health
matters. The issue of psychopathy is expected to be treated in an interesting
and illuminating way by the director and the screenwriter.

Seo Hyun Woo plays a man who is in
love with Baek Hee Sung’s older
sister; Jang Hee Jin will portray that character. The fans of the drama are
waiting excitedly to watch the thrilling performance of the duo.

There is so much secrecy
surrounding not just the plot but also the actors of The Flower of Evil that nobody knows any more information than
what has been dished out by the press, which of course, is very little.
Nothing more than necessary is leaked. The immutable fact is this: Copycats
abound and lurk in every corner of the showbusiness industry.
But, the truth is, it’s getting
harder for fans to wait for more news and also for the broadcast of the drama. The Flower of Evil, the most highly
anticipated drama of 2020, is scheduled to air on TVN on every Wednesday and
Thursday in July.
