This is my first review.

Flower of evil truly digs into the heart of the characters as a person and brings out what most people try to conceal. I was hesitant to read at first because of the drama, which is a red light for me, but seeing the high reviews made me want to try. It was simply too amazing.

The story was made of originality with only one cliche; the brother sister love that was forbidden. Though the end may be surprising for most-as in every one. It was a huge twist I did not excpect in the least! It will all seem like a ... bunch of unnecessary details but then when your brain make the connection, it seems genius. It was sad, yes, but it was truly a work of art.

The art blew me away. The thing with manhwa is that the art is always very creative, no matter how you view it-it can be perceived as ugly or beautiful, but this art was completely different; it was simply mind blowing. The twins themselves were amazing, seeing all of it was quite an experience! I've never seen such lovely manhwa art in my life!

The characters were complex and deep, charming the reader's emotions into the story. They intrigued me, the individual personalities of each one and the secrets they hold. After reading the first chapter I thought I'd grasped the characters' personalities, but as the story progressed, I realized that I'd only skiimmed the surface of what lies beneath. The development is amazing, the way they're presented will wow you.

I hope I conveyed my feelings of enjoyment. If you've read my review honestly, please know what to do and read it. It was truly a manhwa like no other. Even I, who dislikes even the slight bit of drama loved it whole heartedly. If you decide not to read it, you are truly overlooking a fine jewel.

Even now traces of emotion loom in me from this tale and I have found it hard to read happy romance shoujo for the rest of the next day. A fantastic story that may change your life, if not you life then at least leave a feeling long after you have closed the book or shut down your browser.

I'm not really sure now why I gave this an overall 8 because as this story settles in my mind it gets better.

I found the story at some point to feel like something I have read or seen before, but caught myself thinking maybe not. ... To elaborate on the synopsis, Se- Joon and Se- Wa are fraternal twins, whose close relationship tests taboos and social ethics. With the introduction of an old school friend both of them start to go separate ways, at the dislike of the other.Many times I thought the plot was going one way and I had it all figured out all to be mistaken a few pages later. I don't want to say too much it is a journey to discover.

The art is breath taking, as well as both Se- wa and Se- Joon being beautiful, to the point of just looking at their faces wants to make you cry. A lot of other characters are good looking as well and some aren't. It portrays emotion well and helps carry the tenderness of the story.

This story will carry you away and you will get caught up, I thought I would read it over two nights but knew I just had to finish it and read it all in one. If you have read this far, then take a step outside of what may be your norm and I believe you will find a gem.

Flowers of Evil is a MANHWA about twins who are in love(?) with each other. The story is that these 2 brother and sister are in a very intimate relationship but the brother is getting sick of all the looks he gets from school and tries to distance himself as well as getting another lover. At the same time the sister is desperately trying to get his attention back whilst another dude tries to get with the sister. Basically its this love Apeirogon that is this constantly more and more anxiety filled as the series went on.

I mean the series is like ok. The ... issue is that every characters is like the worst person in the world. I mean every character. Everyone is trying to assault someone. Everyone trying to hurt someone and everyone is manipulating everyone its just this big cluster hell. All the characters have such an unlikable personality. Why does the author pretend anyone can be redeemed in this series i have no idea. Everyone in this series was Psychotic. The real contest was who was more psychotic? My problem with this is that with everyone being psychotic everyone has this really bad cookie cutter back story which is just ridiculous.

With that said i didn't per say hate the series. I was legitimately curious on far this series could push itself. and it went pretty far without feeling like the author is trying to stretch itself. So pacing was fine. Every chapter something happened. I guess the last chapter was rushed but endings usually are and i have a separate problem with the ending.

The ending was not good. Like i don't mind the events that occured. But how they occured was bad. Lack of emotional depth was an issue. And there was no buildup with the ending which is sad cuz i thought the build up was the better of this series.

Overall i just think this series was just not that good. I was gonna consider giving it a medicore score but now typing what i feel about this series its just a series where people make bad decisions. Its better than the author's other work Savage Garden but thats not an achievement. 4/10
