It's got all the makings of an explosive narrative.
And a recent episode featured a steamy kiss between Ji Chang Wook and BIBI, who portray Park Jun Mo/Kwon Seung Ho, the undercover cop, and Lee Hae Ryeon, the Korean-Chinese drug distributor, respectively.

against the wall and locked lips. The mushy moment escalated as Lee Hae Ryeon shed both their coats and guided him to the nearest sofa, where the steamy exchange continued. For the better part of nearly three minutes, Lee Hae Ryeon fervently kissed Park Jun Mo on the lips and neck, while he appeared to be resisting. This passionate rendezvous seemed decidedly one-sided. Her endeavors were foiled when the door swung open, and an unexpected guest entered.
This steamy scene has garnered over 419K views and earned itself a passionate following among ‘The Worst of Evil’ fans, some even hailing it as the "ultimate kiss scene." Take a look at some of the reactions.

Another faction of netizens were not entirely happy with this intimate moment. For starters, Park Jun Mo is a married man—just not to Lee Hae Ryeon. He found himself entangled in a precarious situation as an undercover cop, attempting to gain Lee's trust for the purpose of dismantling a criminal empire. Moreover, Park Jun Mo appeared visibly ill at ease throughout this near three-minute encounter. Some netizens went so far as to label Lee Hae Ryeon's actions as "sexual harassment," accusing her of forcing herself on him despite his futile attempts to extricate himself from her embrace.

In the midst of this firestorm, K-Drama aficionados were quick to point out that Ji Chang Wook had delivered more palatable and consensual kissing scenes in his other K-Dramas. Some also cited ‘King the Land’ as a prime example, a show celebrated for highlighting the significance of consent in its kiss scenes.
