Great

I was hesitant to read this manhwa for the longest time because of the theme. I'm glad I read it and I'm particularly satisfied with the conclusion, specifically Se Wa's realization. I like the turn around from the beginning where the readers may think Se-Wa is the obsessive twin with the unhealthy attachment and affection but we learn the truth towards the end. I love the manhwa ended with the story about the boy who is loved by everyone. I felt it tied the story together nicely and concluded appropriately. The decision to cut off the point before Se-Joon was about to say, "I love you," was great. Tragic but disgustingly beautiful.

AMAZING!!! MUST READ!

Wow! Just wow! First of all I would like to take time to appreciate the manhwaga's talent. I mean, to be able to justify incest in such an amazing and non guilty way, is really difficult, but he did it. And maybe this is the only book in which I didn't have anything to complain about in the ending. The ending was perfect! And I didn't cry or feel bad either (even though normally such an ending is bound to torment you for days, if not months). Perfectly justified and satisfying. The story developed well, it had a certain darkness that I love and long for in books, the characters were good, the art, everything. Not a single complaint which is almost impossible since even my favorite manhwa has its flaws and this one doesn't. Glad I read it. I have a special respect for this story. So everyone out there, PLEASE READ!!!

Indeed, this is a very interesting version of the siblings love story. There's nothing light-hearted shoujo or reality-ignoring ecchi about it. This isn't like all those semi-incest cases at all; it's love between real siblings, and it's shown as wrong, ugly, nerve-wrecking and nauseating by the characters.

Unlike some of the other reviewers, I found the plot easy to understand. It's a very simple manhwa to read; you only have to remember 5 names and you can read a volume in about 10 minutes.

The characters are undoubtedly flat. The art is gorgeous, but rather featureless; everyone looks the same, just with different haircuts. But even if there are many things that drag Flowers of Evil down, I've still ended up reading it twice. It kind of gets you hooked from start to finish.

This manhwa is amazing! I wanted to give this a 10 full heartedly. Usually i don't ever give a series such a good rating due to I always have some part of the series that make me mark it down. This one only had minor ones which i allowed not to bother me. The art and story both matched each other well. It might be disturbing to some people but if you really took the time to read this you won't regret it. I recommend this to almost anyone.

Dark & Angsty

MU categorizes Flowers of Evil as romance but I wouldn't really call it a romance myself. I'd rather say its more about obsession.

Se-Joon is secretly obsessed/ in love-ish with Se-Wa but is afraid to show his emotions.He is afraid of what everyone else will say and think. Se-Wa is just confusing brotherly love with actual love since her brother secretly manipulates her into thinking she is in love with him.

I loved the art! It's gorgeous but the emotions could have been better portrayed. Hated the cliffy hanger lol, but I get what the author was trying to do. Overall, it was like a back and forth tug-of-war with these two. Its "I love you" one minute and the next its "I hate you."

I used to just take a look at this manhwa and pass it on. For the past few years, this manhwa has reappeared again and again in front of my eyes, yet I wasn't interested. Certainly not into tragedies, and even less for incest. I wasn't a big fan of the art in this story too (but the artist gets really good later, particularly in Savage Garden, which I also recommend). But this... This was perfect. The ending was the most perfect ending that I have ever seen in any manhwa/manga/manhua. Words cannot describe what I feel towards it. No, I have not shed tears, but deep within, I feel that this manhwa grasped something in my heart. The characters left me speechless, and their pain was detailed through every chapter. I highly recommend it.

A mess

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

A few interesting situations, but too many flat or emotionless characters while at the same time trying to be a little melodramatic. And yes everyone looks the same except with different haircuts, sigh. The psycho sister is so over the top at times, but everybody just keeps treating her like an injured little kitten and instead pamper her, which is unrealistic especially after...

she purposely gives the other girl the wrong medications. And oh, isn't it convenient that she is working at that time and handling the prescriptions (roll eyes). I know there are many people who like this, but I just couldn't get past the first few volumes.

Gets bogged down by the visuals

This is a case where the art style (while beautiful and fitting with people with elongated limbs and modelesque looks which fit the melancholic tone) actually DETRACTED from my reading experience. Mainly because I felt there was no life to the characters. They seemed like mannequins, pretty things like marionettes with no emotion. There was little variation in facial expressions so there weren't a lot of CUES as to how the characters were feeling -- too many blank stares. The main characters look so doll-like that I could never real connect with them; at dramatic moments I found it difficult to feel any emotional connection. The characters look so blase that I FELT blase myself. Want to jump out a window? Oh, okay. (Like I've noticed that even if a character is shouting, or close to 'tears', their EYES ARE ALWAYS THE SAME SIZE. If someone is crying, or smiling, etc, usually their face scrunches up due to the muscles engaged; cheeks go up, eyes 'look' smaller, etc... The characters in this manhwa don't look sincere in their expressions.) Seriously, yeah, the artwork is so beautiful it's doll-like and boring. If it doesn't convey EMOTION, how can I be expected to feel anything for the characters' trials and tribulations? The main thing that kept me reading was the mystery and it was around chapter 23 that I started feeling an iota of tension, drama, loss, despair. (I think the artwork got more expressive, too.)

Perhaps it's because of a poor translation, but the writing was sometimes confusing and the mystery seemed... like it wasn't really cleared up. I'm not even sure.

Despite all its shortcomings, it's still worth reading... if you can make it to the end, that is.
