Flower of Evil (2020) Early Impressions (Episodes 1-6)

This show has surprised me. I hadn't expected to like this as much as I have after the first episode. While I enjoyed the Hitchcock, The Talented Mr Ripley reverberations that came through, I wasn't sure what to make of the lead character except for the surprising fact that he didn't kill the reporter, Kim Moo-jin who recognized him immediately or even later. Because this is still a K drama I didn't really believe that the character would go full-blown villainous on the audience. It's already a downer that the lead character who has been diagnosed with ASPD is lying to this family about his identity and past. Of course it's completely understandable considering his predicament. While lies abound, I'm not convinced that Baek Hee-seong aka Do Hyun-so is responsible for any murders. In fact, everything he does demonstrates that he'd rather not kills. Whether it's Kim Moo-jin or Park Kyung-choon, he does his best to avoid killing anyone where possible. In fact it is reflection of his intelligence and perhaps some goodness that he prefers taking a less messy and perhaps a more humane route.
