"If you come for the king, you'd best come to win." - Machiavelli, from "The Prince."
A brief summary of Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince" might be... The aims of princes – such as glory and survival – that can justify the use of immoral means to achieve those ends, that's what encapsulated the character Park Joon Mo for me in The Worst of Evil.
Gritty, Dark and Bloody beautiful with soul to it. That is the essence of this series for me, what at first sight seemed interesting quickly turned to something i regret finishing. All the actors hired for these roles were top-notch, perfect. The story? Has you by the throat and when you think its loosening the grip it has on you.. It's over. With outstanding cinematography, music that fits the setting and time, this K-noir will thoroughly impress you.
Can the story be predictable at times ? Yes. But let hat not stop you from immersing yourself into it and by the end you'll be hurt by the decisions these characters take, althought the title gives it away. It's really "The Worst of Evil".
