ABS-CBN Entertainment will produce the local adaptation of South Korean thriller drama Flower of Evil after acquiring the rights from content production companies CJ ENM Co., Ltd. and Studio Dragon Corp.
The Philippine version will feature multi-awarded actors Piolo Pascual and Lovi Poe in the lead roles as husband and wife, who were originally played by Lee Joon-gi and Moon Chae-won.
An irresistible mix of drama, romance, thrill and action, Flower of Evil follows a man who changes his identity in order to hide his dark past, successfully maintaining his disguise by building a happy family with his police detective wife. But when she starts investigating an unsolved serial murder case that might be tied to him, she must deal with the reality that her perfect husband might not be who she thinks he is.
Flower of Evil enjoyed high ratings in South Korea when it premiered on tvN, CJ ENM’s leading total entertainment channel, in 2020. The series continued to gain popularity in other countries for its nail-biting plot twists and remarkable performances after becoming available internationally through various streaming platforms.
The local adaptation of Flower of Evil will be Lovi’s first ABS-CBN teleserye after signing with the network. It is Lovi’s second ABS-CBN project overall, after she starred in the 2020 iWantTFC original movie Malaya, for which she clinched a Gawad Urian Best Actress nomination.
Lovi has won several awards throughout her career, including Best Actress trophies from FAMAS Awards and the Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival. As she enters the next phase of her career as a ABS-CBN talent, Lovi is tackling more international projects and pursuing her passions in Hollywood.
This year, Lovi launched her recording career in the US by releasing original one-word title songs, such as “Candy,” “Under” and “Lost,” under the Los Angeles-based VIM Entertainment. She is also working on an EP with American producers Bob Robinson, KrisKeyz, and Grammy winner Omen that will be released soon.
Lovi is also set to star in her first Hollywood movie alongside British stars Alex Pettyfer and Poppy Delevingne, the biopic The Chelsea Cowboy, where she will play English singer and icon Dana Gillespie.
