'Flower of Evil' Kim, Cheol pd "Lee Joon-gi and Moon Chae-won and Kim Ji-hoon...to balance strong personality."
Kim and Cheol pd have been dazzling viewers with sophisticated visual beauty and solid development for 26 years in a broadcasting station where trends are changing so fast that it is said that Kangsan changes dozens of times a year. TVN 'Evil Flower', which was released in two years after 'Mother', also ended with favorable reviews and its highest audience rating.
'Flower of Evil' is a story about a man who has been hiding his identity since the murder of 14 years ago and his wife who started to doubt his reality. Despite the handicap that was broadcast at 10:50 pm in the late night time, it ended with a 5.7% audience rating (Nilson Korea, based on paid platforms), as it was swept up to 16 times with a tight development where thrillers and melodies coexist.
Kim and Cheol pd, who boasted solid performance from 'Beautiful than Flowers', 'Hwang Jin-yi', 'Elegant Girl', 'Airport Way', 'Chicago typewriter' and 'Mother', also enjoyed a dense feeling of 'Flower of Evil' and a cool thriller.
Kim and Cheol pd, who have been in the field for 26 years since joining KBS in 1994, are still leading the actors and staff. Especially, through 'Flower of Evil', Lee Joon-gi, Moon Chae-won, Seo Hyeon-woo and Kim Ji-hoon successfully led the transformation of acting and received more praise as 'Daega'.
Kim and Cheol pd said, "I was grateful to all those who poured their passion to make 'flower of evil' even in an unstable situation with hot summer, long rainy season, typhoon, and corona 19."
In a written interview, fearing the spread of Corona 19, Kim and Cheol pd's meticulousness and sharp insights were transmitted beyond the text.
Next is Kim, Cheol pd and the one-word answer
▲ The 'Flower of Evil', which was first broadcast in July, received the hot love of viewers until the last episode and recorded its highest audience rating.
I would like to express my gratitude to all the staff, actors, and crew who have devoted their passion to make the Flower of Evil even in the hot summer, long rainy season, typhoon, and unstable situation caused by Corona 19. I was very lucky to meet the work of 'Flower of Evil' and I was happy to make a scene and a scene to show good works. I am grateful to the viewers who have been able to finish well until the end and have been grateful and have given me a lot of love.
▲ Before the broadcast started, I talked about "Flower of Evil" and said ": a melodrama with a suspense appearance". In fact, even in the cooler suspense every time since the first broadcast, he made me follow the sensations of Do Hyun-soo (Lee Joon-gi) and Cho Ji-won (Moon Chae-won), and created a unique 'Suspense Melody' genre. I wonder about the overall point of production.
There are a lot of 'codes of contrast' hidden in this drama. Typically, the contrast between good and evil, the contrast between false and true, the contrast between love and hate, and (though a little different) the contrast between melodrama and thriller. I think that the tension that is derived from the violent collision of these conflicting elements is the power that leads this story.
▲ Lee Joon-gi, Moon Chae-won, Jang Hee-jin, and Seo Hyeon-woo, who led the 'Flower of Evil', all of them were well received for their performances.
Lee Joon-gi, who has expressed the character Do Hyun-soo with great immersion, Moon Chae-won, who deepened the emotions of the drama with deep appeal, Seo Hyeon-woo, who made the breath of breath in the middle of the breathtaking narrative, and Jang Hee-jin, And it seems that the drama was well received with the hot performance of Kim Ji-hoon, who surprised everyone with an explosive impact at the end.
And I also thank Yoon Byung-hee (Park Kyung-chun), Kim Ki-moo (Yeom Sang-cheol) and Han Soo-yeon (Jung Mi-suk) for their hard work and excellent roles, even though they did not have many appearances.
▲ I wonder what kind of actors you cast and what you cast.
Each actor's personality is very distinct, but when I drew a combination in my head, I felt that the balance was well balanced. I thought that the colors of each person did not hurt each other, but rather had a good influence on the other party, and it was a combination that led to my advantages and the advantages of the other party.
Kim Ji-hoon's transformation is indeed a history. It was amazing and thankful that I was so wonderfully digesting the character that is opposite to the existing image that it was hard to find precedent. As a director, his work in this work was so impressive and impressive that he was curious about the actor's future.
▲ 'Flower of Evil' has been popular as 'ending restaurant drama' with shock ending that leaves intense impact every time. What if you give the director one of the most haunting scenes (or endings)?
The entire 5-time fishing ground scene (from the moment Hyun-soo is kidnapped by Kyungchun to the ending that support rescues) and the ending on the 15th cliff remain in the most Memory. It was a scene that needed tremendous energy and concentration, but both actors and staff showed their best ability and seemed to be completed with an impressive scene beyond expectation. Especially, Lee Joon-gi's tears and screams, which have done their best, are likely to remain in Memory for a long time.
▲ The shooting period was long, and it seemed that shooting was not easy when I saw each scene. What was the hardest part of this work for a long time?
'Flower of Evil' was a work that needed a lot of trouble about how to shoot in the field. The situation itself is fun, but there are many scenes that are really difficult to produce the situation visually convincing and neatly. Typically, there were three scenes where Hyun-soo hangs on the veranda of the apartment, four scenes where he is fighting in a warehouse with dark suspension and support, five scenes where Kyungchun kidnaps and tortures Hyun-soo with a waste fishing spot, and scenes where Hyun-soo and Hee-sung confront each other on the 15th ending cliff.
These scenes found the best way to get the best of all the ideas and opinions of everyone involved in the shooting, to coordinate, revise and verify it. Through the process, the drama could never get good results with the power of anyone, and it was once again realized that the best work came only when the competence and enthusiasm of all the participants melted completely.
▲ I have been working on KBS for 26 years since joining KBS in 1994. I have created a lot of masterpieces. Is there any secret to continuing my creative activities?
I think it is important to find a balance between what I like and what the public wants to see in order to be active for a long time in the field of popular arts. I think that I have to endlessly think about and study what is the best way to express my best, and how to make more people sympathize with the story that I can immerse most. Because the interest and taste of viewers continue to change rapidly, I try not to forget that if I stay in one place for a while, I will fall behind the times in an instant.
▲ Finally, please tell me what you want to tell the viewers who have sent a lot of love.
I hope that the Flower of Evil will remain in your heart for a long time.
