ABS-CBN and Viu are bringing the Philippine adaptation of the hit South Korean thriller drama, Flower of Evil to 16 markets across Asia, the Middle East, and South Africa.

ABS-CBN Entertainment’s Chief Operating Officer for Broadcast, Cory Vidanes said, “Our partnership with Viu on the local adaptation of Flower of Evil is a major milestone for ABS-CBN Entertainment. This is an opportunity for us to showcase excellent Filipino content and talent to the global audience in the 16 markets of Viu. Our local adaptation of the Korean hit love story Flower of Evil, a compelling and powerful narrative on love for family, search for truth and justice, is the unanimous choice to open our regional partnership with Viu.”
