Now he will have to tread very carefully if he is going to bring down the criminals while protecting both his wife and his own safety.
Should I Watch
“The Worst of Evil” is a gloomy crime drama about betrayal and responsibility. Once again, I need to emphasize that this show is rated Mature for a reason. It is unapologetically violent, gory and at times stiflingly depressing. . To be honest, I’m not sure crime noir is my thing. All of that dark violence and action doesn’t leave much room for the story depth and character development I am partial to. That being said, if you can get over the darker themes and violence, I have to hand it to this series. The acting was raw and riveting and the cinematography was eerily realistic. Ji Chang Wook’s performance as a police officer slowly slipping into the evil he is supposed to be fighting was well worth the watch. I give “The Worst of Evil” an 8 out of 10 ramen.
