A huge challenge.
This is how the stars of “Flower of Evil” describe their effort in making the show more relatable to Filipino audiences.
Lovi Poe admitted it was among their main goals even at the start.
“It’s more like making it your own. I was so glad for the guidance of our director. They led us to making it our own version,” she said.
Paulo Avelino echoed Lovi, adding, “One of the hardest parts of making this show is how to make it as Filipino as possible so it wouldn’t feel like an adaptation (but more of) a Filipino version of ‘Flower of Evil.’”
Piolo Pascual admitted there was huge pressure on their part given the success of the original Korean version.
“Coming into the show, there was too much pressure because it’s gonna be an adaptation. There’s expectations. There’s gonna be bashing. There’s gonna be judgments from a lot of people,” he said.
“But the best thing about this is knowing the story — how it’s gonna start and how it’s gonna end. So we had a reference. We kinda had a manual as to how to do it differently.”
Note the story is set to end with a bang.
Daniel (Piolo) and Iris (Lovi) are putting their lives on the line for the sake of keeping their family together as they attempt to expose Jacob’s (Paulo) dark secrets in the thrilling last two episodes of “Flower of Evil.”
The couple is closer than ever in proving Daniel’s innocence and having Jacob arrested after uncovering that Jacob, not Daniel, is the real accomplice of Daniel’s father, the notorious serial killer Abel (Gardo Versoza).
But Daniel may also get into major trouble as well if he pursues his plan on killing Jacob. Daniel has gone berserk and is dead set on killing Jacob after Jacob led him to believe that he had killed Iris, not knowing that she was actually able to survive Jacob’s attack.
Daniel’s angered towards Jacob’s twisted acts also intensified after he found out that Jacob stabbed Grace (Denise Laurel), Daniel’s only sister, and also murdered Abel.
Now that Daniel has become insane, Iris will have to do her best to convince him that he is not capable of killing so that she can clear Daniel’s name once and for all.
Things will get even more intense when Daniel’s master plan of setting up Jacob turns into a bloody altercation that will leave both of them fighting for their lives as Iris and the police race against time to rescue Daniel.
Will Daniel and Jacob make it out alive? Will Iris succeed in proving Daniel’s innocence so that they can start anew as a family?
