Hey, Eui-jeong. It's me, Jun-mo. Eui-jeong, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry I couldn't visit your mother. I'm just…I'm so sorry for causing such a mess. And I'm sorry for being so foolish…and…and I'm just. I'm sorry I'm not good enough. I'm just sorry for everything. I'm sorry. Eui-jeong. I love you.

there is nothing more beautiful than seeing the full montage of Jun Mo going absolutely batsh*t insane crazy unhinged when he steps foot in that hallway and sees what's going on. just completely gloriously feral out of it kill count going up by the dozens bathed in blood like a kind of baptism or wine of pseudo-Eucharist this is My body and My blood eat (drink) this in remembrance of Me etc etc bc as from his own mouth he says that there is someone he needs to protect. forget acting like the rent was due he acted like it was mortgage backdated student loans credit card bill car payments hospital fees alimony child support you name it he had his bank details ready holy f*ck

THE WORST OF EVIL
GENRES: Action, Drama
SUMMARY: A cop goes undercover to take down one of the most powerful drug gangs in Gangnam but ends up questioning his own loyalties.
THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Pious jewelry, first loves, fishing trips, family pressures, ambitious DJs, lines of succession, hair-sprayed coifs, guns, knives, mistaken identities, Chinese-Japanese-Korean triads, flip phones, secret hideouts, abusive cops, and bourbon.
HOT TAKE: I don't care if both of these men are red flags in their own unique ways--I will root for them until the last drug den in Gangnam is shuttered.
There's some really great tension flowing through every scene of this show. Everyone has their own do-or-die agenda and they will all stop at nothing to see it through to the end. It's a treat to be a part of their struggles every part of the way.

Confused at how The Worst of Evil ended. I mean why did Junmo shoot Gicheol in the chest? I'm guessing he's supposed to have shot before realizing Gicheol was about to shoot himself, and not him or Euijong? If that's the case they failed at filming that properly lol.
Also I don't have any issues with the writing for the ending in and of itself, but I do feel like it's not hitting as hard as it should've, and I think it's because they didn't invest enough time in Junmo and Euijong's married romance + Junmo's feelings for Gicheol.
Like don't get me wrong, Ji Changwook and Im Semi (especially her!) were really good at playing the loving, desperate couple kept apart by a mission that's hurting and changing them - but there's only so much they could do without the screentime.
As for Junmo's feelings about Gicheol, I'd say they kept it a bit too subtle? We know they factually have a lot to relate with each other about, and we saw their camaraderie, but there weren't really any moments where Junmo did something for Gicheol that didn't also serve his mission. I think smaller actions, more quiet moments would have helped. Like that shot at the end when Junmo's calling for the ambulance, and the camera zooms in on his wedding band and his watch ... it didn't convey the weight of him losing the two people these objects tied him to, virtually or literally, as much as it should have . Ironically, because it was linked to their mission, the "fake" (but not fake) couples had more screentime, and so the feelings between Euijong and Gicheol, and Hyeorin and Junmo, had more weight to them. As well as Gicheol's feelings for Junmo of course.
The show was really really nice, just could have used two more episodes to really have those breathing, emotional scenes that would've given weight to the finale!
