Ji Chang-wook’s bloody murder scene in ‘The Worst of Evil’ has fans stunned

The Worst of Evil has gained immense praise from K-drama fans for its intense level of dramatic storyline, but none has topped Episode 9 as Ji Chang-wook had fans’ jaws dropped as he ends the episode soaked in blood.

Disney+’s K-drama takes place in the 90s with a low-grade detective, Park Jun-mo (Ji) being sent on a dangerous undercover mission. He must infiltrate one of Gangnam’s powerful criminal organizations. Things get complicated while becoming Jung Gi-cheul’s (Wi Ha-joon) right-hand man.

His wife, a high-up detective, also becomes involved in the undercover case. The issue is that she was Gi-chuel’s childhood love he never forgot. As Jun-mo and his wife hide their relationship for the greater good, being steeped in the crime ring inadvertently changes them.

By The Worst of Evil Episode 9, the effects of the case have taken hold of Jun-mo, ending in a bloody massacre. Fans were left in shock and applauding Ji’s on-screen work in a dazzling yet gory scene.

Jun-mo’s wife sees a side to him she has never seen in The Worst of Evil Episode 9

Throughout the K-drama, Jun-mo tries to keep a level head despite watching his wife play the role of Gi-cheul’s first love, but when he sees her in peril in Episode 9, he loses all control.

The episode starts with learning why Eui-jung’s (Im Se-mi) family dislikes Jun-mo. On their wedding day, his drug-addicted father appeared to demand money and embarrassed his son. Back in the present time, Jun-mo arrives at the office to utter chaos. Weapons are flying, blood spilling, and in the midst of it all is his wife. Fans soon learn the reason behind the K-drama’s title as Jun-mo unleashes the worst of his evil.

He bites into a man’s ear and blood splatters from the various machete wounds he inflicts on a thug. His face is now covered in blood, he looks at his wife with Gi-cheul secured in a room together. She realizes the case has taken hold of the man she loves.
