One day, Detective Han Joo-Won (Yeo Jin-Goo) is transferred to the same police substation. He is assigned to work as Lee Dong-Sik’s boss and also his partner. Han Joo-Won is an elite detective and comes from a distinguished background. His father has a good chance of becoming the next chief at the National Police Agency. Han Joo-Won also has a secret.

Comments

Bear Oct 16 2021 8:52 am one of a kind show for me.

i finished this a couple of days ago and can't stop thinking about it. the chemistry of the characters is what really skyrocketed this kdrama into untouchable territory, it was worth bingeing it till 2am lol!

the plot is amazing, intricate, multifaced, gripping and with a hint of a thriller, but not too extreme like Strangers From Hell (another great drama. withdrawal after Be? i recommend you watch this). a perfect noir, multiplied by a thousand thanks to the characters. they were beautifully written but the actors did all the work in bringing them to life and acting out the different twisted kinds of people out there in the world. without a fault, every character is morally grey, and talk about character development arcs! loads of them, with intriguing turns and reveals that made me act a whole theatre play when announced.

of course, i can't talk about this drama without talking about the main characters. they were incredible and they unironically have the best chemistry i've ever seen in any korean movie or show (Yes, better than park minyoung and park seojun. how?!). their dynamic is out of this world, and the actors played their roles perfectly, without ever making their relationship feel awkward, forced or ingenuine. they are amazing and the true backbone of this show. talk out the ideal mix of plot- and character-drive story.

all my love and respect to the writer and the director! this is a perfect kdrama. highly Highly recommend it. watch it with your parents, watch it with your partner, heck watch it by yourself in your bedroom at night with a box of tissues on hand. it deserves all the praise!!

celina Sep 28 2021 3:01 am LOL... I think I've watched too many Korean crime dramas. I guessed it right, who is the real culprit since eps 2 or 3. The least suspicious one is always the real culprit. Great script, great actings, and great directing! Well done Beyond Evil team!

Marsha Cowan Sep 26 2021 6:30 am I loved it! The suspense and drama were exceptionally good. There was no guessing the ending as the writing of the story was impeccable, and the development of the characters was superb. I love Kdramas!

bella Sep 15 2021 1:00 am this psychological drama is mind blowing and its been weeks after finishing this drama and i am still thinking about it. the cast, the story, the screen, and everything was really good. the first ep1-5 kind of slow phase but it really went well after that. during those we were given opportunities to understand each of character carefully. I am really thankful to asainwiki sites coz the commenters here are true, genuine and unbais. they write honestly what the viewers think. just like me. I found this kdrama through this websites .. most of my watch list are based on the comments given in this websites. I Search for good story, acting regardless of being underrate rating or non famous actors.

Tolulope Sep 09 2021 1:06 am I love this movie so much, I just finished it and I'm glad it's one of many movies this year that's making my 2021 memorable. At first, it seemed to drag, but I caught on, :) Kudos to the two main Actors and other actors and people who gave us this talent to watch.... Saranghae..

Noi Sep 04 2021 8:08 pm Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler

I don't get it. Those people (Oh Jihun, Park Jungjae) knew Kang Minjeong was arrived at home safely, why no one says anything?? I understand Dongshik decision, but I don't understand why the two of them kept silent?

Niceesu! Sep 02 2021 6:49 am This one is my favorite among other thriller kdrama, the best series I've ever watch, i fell inlove in shin ha kyun's acting that's why he deserved the baeksang best actor! 1000000000/10! Must watch

Chris Aug 27 2021 7:54 pm Okay. A lot of comments saying it was okay.. Look, just get through the first few episodes, it gets better. Well, in my opinion. I just finished it today and I love how much Jin Goo's character grew. And I was in love Shin Ha Kyun's acting here, I had to come because after almost 200 kdramas watched, I had never seen him.

Anyways, overall, I really enjoyed this drama.

Bee Aug 14 2021 9:54 am Not the best tho?. 4/10?

Benny Aug 14 2021 4:54 am Just finished this drama...ahh really love this.if you love crime investigation drama, must watch this 9.9998/10

shunned.by.all Aug 12 2021 5:15 pm it's so dammmmn good!!!!

Mil Aug 08 2021 11:35 am SPOILER!!!

SPOILER!!!

dudeeeeeee. Right when Joowon asked Dongsik who he was trying to protect, I thought Dongsik was naming everyone just to mess with him but all along, Dongsik was naming everyone he knew Except the Killer... The Answer Was Right There The Whole Frickin Time Lol! Mindblowing!!! You really need to be sharp with all these clues lol.

Love this show so much and I wish there would be more dramas like this. Made me feel like a detective lol

Holo Aug 08 2021 11:03 am I just love how the drama doesn’t spoon feed the viewers of what’s always happening or would happen unlike other dramas. This show will really make you think with all the clues they laid out. I really appreciate how the directors and writers treated us intelligently. You have to watch the show attentively so that you’d have the full experience and be amazed of it’s brilliance. It has zero plotholes and I wish I could erase my memory of it so I could rewatch it again. Definitely a must watch for every intelligent viewers out there ;)

Helen Khoiova Jul 30 2021 3:25 am One of the Best Drama! All actors were brilliant! Thank you for this kdrama;)

darwin junaidi Jul 29 2021 12:03 pm is the drama good,why i feel so bored,and the main actor doesn't good with his act

Ash Jul 17 2021 5:42 pm Not the worst drama. If you're up for slow burn, this one's good.

Kuetiaw Jul 17 2021 7:37 am @lol oh ya. Ok now i get it.

lol Jul 16 2021 11:11 pm @kuetiaw She's running from the killer obviously. The original serial killer who chop off the fingers of the victims.

Kuetiaw Jul 16 2021 7:33 pm Hello. Just finished watching this drama. I have a question. Lee yoo yeon ( lee dong sik's sister ) is running from 'something' before she stopped, and waving to the car for help, and then being hit by the car. So the question is, what is she running from? Or maybe i have missed something. Please tell me.

Cee Lee Jul 15 2021 5:08 pm Absolute perfection. Excellent.

Jugso Jul 13 2021 10:37 am No plot holes. Nothing at all. Just how brilliant is the writer and the director

Kdramastan Jul 08 2021 12:07 pm Brilliant in every aspect ! the 2 lead actors SHK & YJG were simply phenomenal

veteran Jul 07 2021 1:25 am definitely deserved those Baeksang awards. I really appreciated how they tried to slow down the pace for the first episodes because it was useful in developing a great psychological drama where we just couldn't figure out who the real culprit is until we reach THAT episode. All of my suspicions were wrong in the beginning and I was so surprised but also finally understood all of the clues at the beginning after finding out the real killer. I just loved that I got to work my mind as well as if I'm part of the investigation team lol. The whole drama kept me at the edge of my seat trying to figure out what's next because it's so unpredictable. The whole cast was so good too. And props to Yeo Jingoo for playing Han Joo-Won because I definitely hated his character for being the pretentious rich boy who thinks he knows everything. But it just proves how good he played his character

MA-RI Jul 06 2021 2:49 am I Was Curious in shin ha kyun . why he bangs the best actor awards in baeksang, now i know because of the emotions he gives, i wont protest anymore undoubtedly hes the best actor. hope to see more of him in many drama's. fighting oppa

Ren Jul 04 2021 6:37 am This drama is definitely worth watching! Ep1-5 are damn slow, dragging and I felt like dropping it for real. Then ep6 totally got me hooked till the end. The cast, plot and everything bout this drama are very high quality hence it totally deserve The Best Drama award! I initially hate the 2 main cast cause of their characters but end up loving their bromance esp in ep15&16 :))

Now that its over I feel like Im gonna miss the madness of the people in this drama. If you're looking for a quality drama, this is totally what you're looking for fr ?

Dee Shekhar Jun 27 2021 4:29 am I love slow burn shows - -looks like I will like this show. I think the Korean tv producers make really intense crime dramas. The cast are so perfect. I have always liked Han Jin Goo - from the time I saw him in I Miss You. He is perfect for this role! Well done Jin Goo! Like the actor who plays Jin Goo's dad Choi Jin Ho - from the Heirs. Shin Ha Kyun looks really fit for this role! Another favourite of mine is in this show as well - Cheon Ho-Jin shi!

I am in episode 2. Love that it is keeping me company this monsoon season in India.

jingooo Jun 25 2021 3:44 am Good drama, I don't know what about it feels like a drag to people, but I'm invested in every minute. Every single person in this show is sus, it's kinda fun that way. Also jin goo is really pretty in the second half (bit slick and lifeless at the start I'm afraid). Love the two women in the group, though the show is 90% male. Tiny bit confused with regards to the conclusions they drew around the middle.

Kaylee Jun 23 2021 10:50 pm Agree with comments here that it dragged on for ages. I knew it would eventually come together but man it was frustrating and not as enjoyable when 90% of the drama was confusing af except for the last 2 eps. Lol! Like if u want it to succeed make a drama thats not going to make people feel like dropping it 5 eps in.

Also I found Han Ju-Won sooooo annnoying his smug little face acting like he had it all figured out and jumping from conclusion to conclusion ripping into people with no second thought.

Dawon Jun 22 2021 10:06 pm It was slow, dragging, and confusing. I almost dropped it. But then BAM! Everything finally came together on episode 6! The plot twist, the puzzle pieces are now all so clear. I'm hooked!

AI Jun 22 2021 8:17 am All of the characters are interesting, the main character gives me mixed feelings with him, the role is perfect for Shin Ha-Kyun, Overall series it was great and loved it! Hope to see other projects with the actors/ actress/ directors <3

Bibys Jun 21 2021 7:56 am Please season 2, I need a season 2 for this drama. Best mind blown crime drama. The actor portrait the character very well, all of the actor/actress did a very good job! Although it get a little boring in the beginning, but afer episode 4 you can’t stop watching.

lemonsuss Jun 20 2021 1:54 am This drama is a masterpiece and greatly underrated. It's not your typical face-paced thriller drama but they dived in the psyche and emotions of each character impeccably. Somehow this drama reminded me of My Mister....

sun Jun 17 2021 8:28 am This drama is for the ones with patience. First few episodes might get you irritated because the two heroes are not as “heroic” as other drama typically would show, I wasn’t too interested but kept going since this won Baeksang and in my personal opinion, EP-7-8 are the important episodes for you to get hooked up with this drama. and I don’t regret at all.

Shin Hakyun was made for the character Lee Dongsik, however YJG acting here was kinda mediocre as compared to his other drama but overall every single cast made a very good job here. Special shoutout to Choi Daehoon for brilliantly portraying us Park Jungjae, I became a fan.

I would give 9/10.

Now for a little bit critic. I wish they made the last two episodes more intense because I find it mediocre somehow? They shouldn’t go far with the back-to-back villain story, it was repetitive. I was hoping they would focus more on the Manyang residence and the victims of the serial killer. But I kinda get that the director split the drama into two: First 8 episodes focusing on Lee Dongsik while the last 8 episodes was more of Han Joowon so yes overall it was a spectacular drama.

Lily Petal Jun 15 2021 1:41 am Boy am i confused bout what i just watched. It was ok overall

Kdrama fan Jun 12 2021 3:20 am Watched till epi 3 and found it too boring as compared to other crime drama like Mouse, Awaken etc. Maybe not my cup of tea. Lol. Most characters are rather suspicious here.

SKYLER May 30 2021 8:03 pm I got curious with this drama. I binge-watched in 2 days. Kept me at the edge of my seat and story really caught my attention. All the actors were great. The storyline is amazing. No episodes doesn't have dull moments. Now I understand why this drama got so many awards as well as the lead actor.

What are you waiting for? May 29 2021 12:09 pm To all those still wondering if they should watch it or not:

There’s a reason why they got those Baeksang awards

gdik May 28 2021 10:04 am Whenever I look for kdramas, this is a must visit website. Thank you! I understand why it got awards now. Dual characters portrayed by different actors are present in the story but shin ha kyun caught my attention. His character is hard to read. But the story line... I kinda guessed it but honestly got a little confused during development of the story. Yeo jin go, is yeo jin go. He is good, i hope he get complex characters in the future.

If you are like me who want to watch light, romcom dramas, look for another drama. I did not binge watch this one but it is still good, it just drains a lot of my energy

NM May 24 2021 6:59 am I don't know whether I will ever find other gems like this or not. Everything about this drama is perfect.

Masterpiece May 22 2021 8:35 am Best drama in 2021!!! Definitely my favourite too, every episode is just amazing and the plot twists are awesome! Really well deserved win on the awards, 11/10. The OST is the best I have come across, downloaded the album on Apple Music. Thank you to all actors and production team for this masterpiece and congratulations on the awards. Shin Ha Kyun is a legendary actor and no one can deny his talent ;) Yeo Jin Goo acting is the best too...he is a rising star in making for sure

hihihello May 19 2021 8:27 am Your guess is right! @Dongsik Superior Investigator Shin Ha Kyun's acting in this drama is amazing. Yeo Jin Goo's too. Superb!

hihihello May 19 2021 8:25 am I knew it! Beyond Evil is indeed the best drama of 2021 so far. Glad to see it won the best drama from Baeksang. If you're wondering to watch it or not, do not hesitate. This drama is gold.

Dongsik Superior Investigator May 16 2021 2:21 am SPOILER!!!!!

SPOILER!!!!!

For all the haters saying they don’t like Dongsik and can’t understand why he acted that way, listen up.

When he first witnessed Kang Min Ah’s severed fingers, that’s when he knew that the killer the whole time was JinMook. This revelation would’ve been shocking to him since he never would have expected that someone he treats like a brother had killed people mercilessly, especially his twin sister. Furthermore, even if he was in such shock, realizing that the girl he loved like a daughter could’ve possibly been killed, he tried to keep his composure and tried to think of what he could do. He knew that without any evidence, he couldn’t have gotten Jin Mook arrested.

First of all, he was the first witness so that would already put him under suspicion. Secondly, he couldn’t find Min Ah’s body anywhere so there wouldn’t be much evidence to help the case. Thirdly, people would’ve suspected him either way since he was also the prime suspect of the killings 21 years ago. And lastly, who would the people believe more, the weak and docile father, or the crazy cop branded as a suspect for 21 years?

If he tried to take action right away without any evidence, all of the blame would’ve been placed on him either way. If he did report it immediately, he would’ve been arrested and Jin Mook would be free, ready to kill another innocent victim. This is why he had no choice but to take the fingers and plant them right outside Jin Mook’s store so that all the attention would be put unto this case. Moreover, he is quite cunning for him to bait Han Juwon so that he could help solve the case.

Dong Sik is a complex character but if you actually try to finish the drama instead of whine in the comment section of how “awful” or “annoying” he is, you’d actually get to understand him. If you actually watch the drama, you just can’t help but love and root for Dong Sik... Props to Shin Ha-Kyun for acting so well. He really deserved the award for best actor.

I rate this drama 100/10

midblown May 15 2021 7:10 am Beyond Evil deserves Beyond Recognition! They truly deserved those awards no doubt.

I literally couldn't find any plotholes because that's how good their screenplay is. Every scene is important and is riddled with many clues for you to realize their importance as the drama goes on. Furthermore, the pacing is so good because it allows this tension and suspense to build up and make the viewers doubt all of their suspicions LOL. All the characters were utilized and developed quite well throughout the whole story with such an amazing cast. The whole cast was so good that I couldn't help but love them all even if I knew they were the bad guys. I've watched all of the Best Actor nominees' dramas and among all of them, Shin Ha-Kyun really was the best for me. He flawlessly portrayed Dongsik's funny side, sorrow, fury, kindness, and determination.

If I could, I would give this a rating higher than 100! I totally recommend this drama and hope you'll enjoy this rollercoaster ride of a great drama as well!

Meri May 14 2021 11:14 am I really enjoyed this drama. Very well written script, it keeps you on your toes, not knowing what to expect in the next episode. All characters are great in their performance. Also, I have to say it, I love korean humour, you always find hilarious situations in every kdrama, even if you watching a thriller with an evil serial killer like in this drama. My score: 10/10.

Belle May 13 2021 8:49 pm One of my favorite drama of this year win 57th Baeksang Arts Awards!!!! Not one, but three categories, so Happy now!!!

Nazifa Chowdhury Apr 29 2021 12:18 pm If only the pacing was faster, a solid 9/10.

Ja Apr 27 2021 9:42 pm For a genre (serial killer) that I avoid, why am I here? Yeo Jin-Goo was the attraction, the directing, script, and excellent cast keeping me tuned in.

kitty Apr 25 2021 10:01 am Such a epic psychological thriller drama. Everything is on the point. If some people find it confusing then this genre is not for you. Psychological thriller is all about mind game. I loved every character from main leads to criminals. I am still not able to move on from this drama ,memory from butcher shop is still so fresh.

not confused anymore Apr 25 2021 9:32 am Because hell the story keeps going when you feel like its gonna stop by adding so much plot that you are sure that they won't be able to cover them all, but then they turned all tables and have you speechless by the end of the drama. No Plothole Is Even Detected, I Repeat, No Plothole Can Be Detected. Every backstories are related to each other so perfectly you would think it's impossible for them to do it so logically but they did, so have my respect, production team. This drama will have you feel every emotion you might have not even felt before. Just name it; respect, intrigue, suspense, relieve, regret, nostalgic, scared, thrill, gore; you can feel it. They also highlight the importance of friendship, partnership, work ethics, family relation (even the bad guys love their children), the importance of letting go and moving on, the importance of making rational judgement and many more I can't list. Plus the cinematography is also notable, especially the scenes where they had flashback about the actual crime and the scene where Dongsik found what happened to Minjung. The level of acting, I don't really need to say it out loud, but you can literally find no flaws from the actors. And watching them acting does not feel like you're watching the drama but instead, you're actually reliving the scenes. It's gonna be a full fledge report from now on so you might wanna skip my ramblings. It's time for every breakdown of the notable characters backstory/characteristics. Lee Dong Sik: His sense of justice is very respectable despite his crazy ways to solve something. Also the pure relationship he had with his sister to the point of he won't stop seeking the truth for her is so admirable. Like, it's hard to find a drama where siblings actually love each other. I even thought he would despise his sister as she was the golden child for being talented and smart where he was the 'just messing around' child, but he actually rooted for his sister. Plus, his patience is just on another level yo 21 years of waiting just to solve something? Can't relate. Han Ju Won: Can I just say he is freaking flawless what the heck Yeo Jin Goo, drop your skincare routine! Anyway, he is the type that believe he would survive on his own but at some point realize that he need others' help too. His sense of justice too is very reputable. I just wish all police officers and detectives in real life live with the same principle as him. He's cunning and at some point, you would want to get inside the screen to smack him because of his ways, but then he just want to do his best to seek the truth as he failed his task faultily before. Oh Ji Hwa: Love This Badass Girl. She is the only one who can make Lee Chang Jin bow down and that is so regal for me lol. She's also one of the police officer that has firm integrity. Suspect is still a suspect even though she's best friends with them and that earned my respect. Park Jeong Jae: I just wanna say he has hella patience for his momma lmao. If my mom is like that, she'll no longer heard from me the moment I turn 18 but to each their own. Don't wanna spoil too much, but it's not really his fault because I really believe he can't remember anything because of the meds he took. I wanna ramble more but I'm sleepy so yeah watch this drama and you'll never want to step on the outside world again lol jkjk. 100/10

cRV9oo Apr 22 2021 8:28 am @confused? That's what's awesome about this drama. And keep in mind this is a Psychological Thriller not a Crime Thriller. The difference is that Beyond Evil focuses not on who did te crime but the psychological make up of each individual befoe, during and after the crime/s. As much as it appears that the conflict has been solved right at the 1st half of the drama, think again. This isn't it. I won't spoil it for you but the 2nd half only gets better. I've actually never seen a psychological thriller this good. The delivery/storytelling is ex excellent. Plus all the factors needed for a drama to become powerful like acting(outstanding!), cinematography, music.. Everything. What ultimately captured my interest is that, the drama didn't force anything to happen..it flowed naturally from episode to episode. Even the powerful character development of HanJooWon was done marvelously. The sympathy of the viewers shifted willfully from DongSik to JooWon. The events slowly but impactfully delivered a punch, a twist and a deep dive from a tenseful climax to an amazing resolution. Nothing was left untied. 15 episodes of cliffhangers ended with a loud sigh of relief..a wonderful feeling of satisfaction. Which nowadays are hard to find. To those just started. Watch out for clues and there are tons of meanings underneath those smirks/smiles/glares and glances..you just need to put yourselves in each of their shoes. ?

Confused? Apr 21 2021 8:54 pm Yo im only on the seventh episode but why the murderer is catched already? Then what im supposed to expect for the next episodes

Kkh Apr 19 2021 3:07 am One of the best drama I've ever seen. Truly masterpiece. There's something like Signal vibe while watching this drama. How the director directs this drama, how the writer makes the drama so perfectly, how the they do editing and combine it with music in this drama, and how the actors act are beyond perfect. Totally support this drama to win best drama in baeksang and also I support Shin Ha Kyun to win best actor or daesang ?

Best Drama Apr 18 2021 6:09 am Manifesting a big win for Beyond Evil in Baeksang Arts Awards! I have never felt this attached to a drama after Signal (which released back in 2016). The suspense is perfect. I can't believe someone in the comment gave 3/10 star to this drama. ar u okay????

Min Apr 18 2021 12:33 am @purpli you probably did not pay attention during the drama. It was Dong Sik who put it there so that atleast some police attention goes to Kang Jin Mook who has been killing silently. Yu Yeon's fingers were found as a sign that he hid yu yeon somewhere very close (the wall)

Catoes Apr 18 2021 12:01 am Highly recommended, everything about this drama is?? you should watch it.

purpli Apr 17 2021 12:04 pm so who put Yu Yeon's fingers on her own house's porch? If Kang Jin Mook really has this habit of displaying the fingers, why didn't he display all his other 20 victims' (incl Bang Ju Seon's) fingers??

Pink Apr 16 2021 6:48 pm I know there's no romance here but I ship Yoo Jae Yi and Han Joo Won.

John Apr 16 2021 4:48 am This one richly deserves its multiple nominations. The storyline is meaningfully conveyed. The cinematography is delicately aiming to touch different levels of emotions. The performance of every cast, not to mention the nominated actors', which is extradinarily terrific, is convincing and consistent in every scene. Praise to the screenwriter and the creator for this masterpiece. Will be rooting for Beyond Evil to claim a lot of prizes soon.

pied piper Apr 15 2021 11:01 pm just finished this yesterday so here's a non spoiler review. so usually for any kdrama i never write reviews, but for this one i will write.

so first off i have seen a lot of different kdramas of different genres in these years but in case of psychological thrillers/crime/murder dramas i personally feel that Korea is the best, and BE is no different.

I'll be very honest, first episode wasn't really that interesting as it was only setting up the base of a truckload of suspense in the coming episodes, and i'm glad i gave it a chance beyond the first two episodes.

As the plot begins to take off, i was at the edge of my seat because with this drama, you cannot predict much, there are so many twists and shocking events that'll leave you flabbergasted and wanting for more.

The plot is a heavy one which will make you confused but in the end everything pans out smoothly- one of the best portions of the drama, and this one has very less loopholes which can be ignored. All in all, the drama has no extra unwanted emotions, everything is to the point and precise.

What makes this drama all the more exciting is its stellar cast like Shin Ha-kyun and Yeo Jin-goo who do absolute justice to their role and manage to keep one engaged deeply into the drama.

The script, the setting, the direction, the cast everything is on spot, this is by far one of the best dramas of 2021 that will make you delve deep into the thriller and honestly i never rewatch any dramas but with this one i just might!

Thinking Apr 15 2021 12:07 pm SPOILERS! To anyone saying that all this mess happened because of a car accident, N O. If you have time to write this comment then also think for a while. Yu Yeon was supposed to die anyway, whether by Jin Mook or Gi Hwan. If the former happened, I don't know for sure what the outcome would have been. But one thing is for sure that if Jin Mook got caught in the alternate story, Gi Hwan and Chang Jin would have conspired to kill him just like what happened in this drama. Why? Well if you have been paying attention, Jin Mook wasn't indicted as he committed s*icide, which made the redevelopment project go on. So even in an alternate storyline, Gi Hwan and Chang Jin would have become the bad guys. And to answer another question of why Ju Won was so adamant at finding the killer would be because of his strong sense of justice, also solving such serial m*rder case will make people give him more importance than just being the Commissioner's son. Dong Sik also committed a crime by removing the fingers to bring overflowing attention to the case just because he couldn't find the body. So he got punished for that justly. Overall, the drama was so simple yet so intriguing, I felt sad when it was ending... I hope that we can see more drama like this instead of excessive plot twists that don't lead anywhere.

Kim Na Na Apr 15 2021 4:45 am It was okay. Not toooo boring, but also not that exciting.

itha Apr 15 2021 1:03 am The only drama that has No Plot Holes. I love how the writer told every story in detail. There is no question left unanswered, everything is neatly written. The leading casts may be flawed but it's what making this drama sounds more realistic. The character developments of the leads didn't seem in rush, their character developed slowly but surely.

qoth Apr 15 2021 12:55 am It's a critically-acclaimed drama, picked as the best drama of the first half of 2021 and the greatest psychological tracking thriller of all time. Beyond Evil is different with any other kind of thriller korean drama because the story itself doesn't only focus on "who is the culprit", but looking depth into the psychology of the characters behind the incident and the families of the victims who were left behind. Relationships between the characters and towns people are the main story here. So, you need to understand the essence of this drama especially the 'psychological' aspect instead of watch it for the 'thrill' and some brutal scenes. The cooperation between Lee Dongsik and Han Joowon, who dig up the truth to break the tragedy, two men who became monsters themselves, willing to break laws and principles to catch monsters. THIS IS THE Psychological Tracking Thriller. Hands down to the best drama of the year, Beyond Evil has 7 nominations for Baeksang Arts Awards this year (a prestigious award show in South Korea).

irene Apr 14 2021 5:24 pm it was pretty boring ngl. it was good up until ep. 8 and it wall went downhill then. there were several plots to this which made it confusing and not all the questions were answered. the leading casts were both annoying and ignorant. and i still don't understand what the victims has got to do with Han Ju Won and why he wanted to catch the criminal so bad that he blamed Lee Dong Sik most of the time. overall: 3/10 maybe if i watched it as my on goings i wouldn't be as bored.. i only stayed to see more of nam yoon su (Oh Ji-hoon). i'd definitely wouldn't recommend it :/

Beyond Evil deserves all the awards!!! Apr 14 2021 7:14 am SF, are you asking about the Korean-Chinese immigrant they introduced in the first few episodes? Kang Jinmook killed her. In the flashback scenes where they showed his MO, you can see that she was sitting with him in some sort of truck (?) and she received a text or something, so he grabbed her phone and got angry then killed her (for the whole prostitute reason related to his ex-wife). She was working as a prostitute and that's how he met her (since she knew Hyemi and he was looking for Hyemi, his ex-wife).

sf Apr 13 2021 11:18 am I rewatched this drama because there were things that I didn't understand because the sequences are revealed in an aleatory way, not in a chronological. With the risk that I may attract negative comments after this, I must say DS was the worst cop ever. Neither always his watery eyes nor his sympathy for weak people can erase the stupidity for doing nothing when he should have done. I have zero compassion for him. Overall, it was a good drama but with an awful character for my taste, DS.

iceiceice Apr 13 2021 6:52 am best kdrama ive ever seen, they better win some baeksang awards !

sf Apr 13 2021 3:19 am Not even at the end of the drama, I am not clarified about the lady with a burner phone. Who killed her and why?

xxx xx Apr 12 2021 8:37 pm Best best best, you are all best, all prizes for you, all team deserve awards,

Paris Apr 12 2021 8:59 am Best Drama Best Director Best Screenplay Great Cast....

The best thing about Beyond Evil..... is its soundtrack.

The Night.......

Heyena Apr 12 2021 8:46 am What more can I say? Beyond Evil just keeps on exceeding expectations. It baffles me how well they could execute such a simple yet intricate plot and keep the audience engaged with less than minimal visual stimulation. This drama screams quality in every sense.

MASTERPIECE DRAMA Apr 12 2021 8:45 am good writing from this playwright. For those who previously said dramas have writers who write unrealistic scripts with real life. how Dongsik became a murderer and covered up the case. I just wanted to say it to you. I hope your thoughts will be enlightened soon. because all your questions have been answered in episode 15 and 16. Very real !!!

Dongshik Lover haha Apr 12 2021 8:41 am from the rating it can be seen that this drama is really great. I am very happy to like this drama. every week I'm always waiting .. I've never waited for a drama before.

Paris Apr 12 2021 8:38 am Best Drama Best Director Best Screenplay Great Cast........

The best thing about Beyond Evil..... is its soundtrack.

The Night...

Ferra Apr 12 2021 6:41 am This really the Best Drama in 2021. Great story, very smooth plot, good director , lovely soundtrack, and the last, superb acting from the actors, especially Shin Ha Kyun. Love your acting very much . Also Yeo Jin Goo . I hope this drama will be reward as Best Drama, and Shin Ha Kyun can get Grand Prize .

JustAdRama Apr 12 2021 1:01 am So Lee Su yeon, the sister of Lee Dong Sik is Han Joo won's eomma?

Shahrom Apr 11 2021 10:29 pm Really good drama

powerpuff girl Apr 11 2021 11:10 am well, i think some of ppl who comments here didmt watch it properly? and the way they tell the writernim not to write the car accident to be a conflict, is stupid? bc i found that the script of beyond evil is realistic, no plot hole at all. All makes sense story.

Sheep garden Apr 11 2021 10:37 am This is my fav drama, i would really recomend this to everyone, really. But i was confused to explain why this drama worth to watch, because i am too speechless with this drama quality. I mean the acting, the plot, the ost, the cinematography and ofcourse the story itself are masterpiece

Hihihello Apr 11 2021 9:32 am Beyond Evil is hands down the best drama of 2021 so far.

Love the brilliant acting by all the actors (especially the Manyang squad). Love the OSTs, they are masterpiece! Love the storyline and simple life lessons behind it, and everything else!

Gotta agree with some comments below. If you are interested in crime, mystery/thriller genre, give this drama a go. Would rate this 9.5 out of 10!

M Apr 11 2021 9:12 am I crieddd during final episode. YJG potrayed the character very well. So did everyone. Kudos to all the actors and production team.

Belle Apr 11 2021 8:10 am This drama is really good. I thought about dropping this drama earlier, but I keep it and never regret that. From something that seems boring to a really excellent quality drama.

ell Apr 11 2021 6:56 am this drama is so goodddd!!!! the acting are priceless. will surely miss this duo!! hopefully they are working in the same project againnn

sf Apr 11 2021 3:31 am I ask myself, why DHW didn't use a white truck for Jin-mook instead to let herself be blackmailed for such a long time?

13 Apr 11 2021 2:53 am Tl;dr great acting, script, directing, even the minor roles were performed well.

Never believe random haters/comments like sf, because this drama is god-tier in all aspects. Everyone did great, including Choi Sung Eun and most especially Shin Ha Kyun- he deserves the Daesang. I only watched this because of Yeo Jin Goo but what a treat this was. I discovered new actors, learned lessons with the script and was completely amazed by the brilliance of PD Sim Na Yeon. I loved her previous work At Eighteen, her execution of scenes with Beyond Evil is an eye candy for film students/enthusiasts.

Choi Dae Hoon was also a revelation, I've seen him in multiple dramas as an annoying side character. In BE, he was given the chance to shine. The man can act.

I hope they all win awards. Thank you for bringing this drama to life.

unnieja Apr 10 2021 9:41 pm This series is so good!!!!!!! Shin Ha-Kyun and Yeo Jin-Goo's acting is top tier. The success of this drama is also thanks to the actors and actress who gave their best to bring their characters grounded to reality.

Great job to the production team behind this kdrama. Please watch this!

sf Apr 10 2021 1:29 pm The moral is: don't drive under the alcohol influence.

My favourite character was Joo-Won and of course Jin-Goo.

The unlikable ones were character and actor: Shin Ha-Kyun and Choi Sung-Eun who I don't know why she acts like she would be Monica Belluci because she is not.

Purple Apr 10 2021 3:20 am So, who is the killer ?

Ju Apr 10 2021 12:55 am Yeo Jin Goo is really a great actor!!! The facial expression, actions and control...wow!!! Superb!!!! He nailed his character here... great great acting!???

annerose Apr 09 2021 8:10 am i dont understand why Han Jo Woon consistently wanted to arrest Dongsik even when they already caught the killer. I found it very annoying when he keeps following his hunch. If he put more effort in finding the clues and the real killer rather than keep provoking and blaming Dongsik, he might be able to find the killer sooner. And what's up with the Mayor Do keep babying her adult son? aigo..

swara Apr 07 2021 3:46 am @CenturionZ Because all the clues are pointing to Lee Dongshik. Lee Dongshik himself is deliberately making all the leads point to him because he wants to use Han Joowon to solve the case.

CenturionZ Apr 07 2021 3:32 am Why in the world HJW wants to arrest LDS? Must be something very personal.

swara Apr 06 2021 11:13 pm Yeo Jin Goo is such a phenomenal actor at his age. That scene at the end of Ep 14 sent shivers down my spine. The way he can control his facial muscles to express Han Ju Won's anguish, it's crazy. Shin Ha Kyun is such a powerful actor too, and it's such a god-tier casting to put both these actors together. Yeo Jin Goo may be very young but his acting doesn't get overshadowed by Shin Ha Kyun. I am so excited for the final week!

unknown Apr 06 2021 9:52 pm @korkor yes this drama only has 16 episodes. even though many people ask for season 2. but I'm sure this drama doesn't have season 2 .. maybe, because that's just in my opinion

Sheep Garden Apr 05 2021 7:00 am I think its pretty genius to make a simple car accident caused by drunk to be this complicated. I'll wait how LDS and HJW will find that HGH kill LYY because there no evidence. Yeo Jin Goo and Shin Ha Kyun acting is another level, i can feel LDS anger when he introgating PJJ. But something i didnt understand is (or maybe i missed it) why in the world HJW really want LDS to be arrestex? Like from the begining of the show, also what his purpose to dig in this old case beside LGH death?

Sheep Garden Apr 05 2021 6:59 am I think its pretty genius to make a simple car accident caused by drunk to be this complicated.

janhr Apr 04 2021 10:16 pm the supporting cast is very good, especially the bad guys, outshining the main leads. shin ha kyun's permanent bloodshot eye is too much, and yeo jin goo should stick to playing a role more suited to his disposition, like a highschooler for instance.

commenter Apr 04 2021 8:53 am i hate lee chang jin , he himself already look like someone who will make first impression to be bad... hahahhaa but not on the outside of the drama

Gita Apr 04 2021 12:49 am Han Gihwan and Lee Changjin don't deserve to live, right? I just really want them to die like the way Lee Yuyeon died.

sf Apr 04 2021 12:26 am All the mess, because of a stupid car accident, provoked by driving a car under the influence of alcohol. The writer should have been thinking to a better intrigue.

Jarring Apr 03 2021 3:08 am Wow, just finished EP 13, just want to say the plot twists are unreal! Goosebumps every time it happens.

cima Apr 02 2021 10:59 pm who the heck just stands in the middle of the road trying to wave down speeding car, even if she had fingers cutoff... that girl doesnt deserve to live, imo. how they expect viewers to sympathize someone so retarded. once agian showing momentary ineptness of korean writers...

DramaFan Apr 01 2021 11:35 pm I'm a fan of psychological thrillers and I really like how the story is being shown so far. I don't know yet how the ending will go, but I can say that the writer and the director did a great job with this drama. The acting of the cast also was superb.

This drama is a psychological thriller and not just a police procedural drama. Usually this kind of drama explores moral conflict not only of the villain but also the main leads. The main leads does not necessarily have to be the good guy. In the end, they can actually be the main villain.

From a Soompi article: “Beyond Evil” is a psychological thriller starring Yeo Jin Goo and Shin Ha Kyun as two men who are willing to break the rules and the law in their pursuit of a serial killer. The drama asks, “Who is the monster? Is it you? Is it me? Is it us?”

If you are disappointed that the main leads are not your usual morally upright hero who just wants to catch the bad guy and fight for justice, then this drama is definitely not for you. Basing on the synopsis of the drama, the director and the writer intentionally made the main leads to be morally grey. Actually all the characters are morally grey. There's definitely a serial killer, JinMook, and might be another one. Some of the characters might not be necessarily be the serial killer, but each one of them could be "monsters" because their action or inaction caused them to contribute to the crime to not be solved.

I realized that the people in Manyang does not necessarily blindly trust each other because they are from the same town. Each one of them has a secret that they don't want other to discover that's why they don't probe each other that much. They only start to question other people and volunteer information, once their own secret has been discovered. They'd rather keep quiet if it means that they won't be implicated.

Mae Mar 30 2021 8:19 am Well why erase.. This drama is amazing..

mm Mar 30 2021 6:14 am Now the story fits the title very well. How come a person can be that evil. ???

Belle Mar 28 2021 2:56 am Never trust a police commissioners in K-drama, they always be the mastermind and the top bad guy

Hong Mar 27 2021 10:41 pm How can this show gets better?? And the acting oh my God they are so good shin ha kyun specially, the crime is connected to the bigger fish in the sea and it so beautifully dark , can't wait to the next ep , also the writer is crazy on the partnership style like? I thought han juwon would accept dong shik as a partner and that would be the big of their relationship but no the writer wants him to go against his father and drag everyone down for him and my heart just can't take this it's too much .

tim Mar 27 2021 9:17 pm park jung-je didn't kill her, she was already dead when he ran over her. Her autopsy shows she was ran over multiple times which result in multiple fractures, the first hit was when she was standing, that first hit killed her, park Jung-je ran over her again when she was on the ground. I think dong-sik realizes that he probably didn't kill her when park Jung-je confesses that "I killed her, I ran over yu-yeon when she was passed out on the street". Then who was the one ran over her when she was standing facing the car? for that reason dong-sik lets park Jung-je go, he needs to find out the one ran over his sister and left her on the road like that. This drama is very good.

Romy Mar 27 2021 4:34 pm A masterpiece ! I truly enjoy psychological thrillers and this one is a perfect one! Like « la crème de la crème »: the suspense, the Music... you can feel how DS can be desperate...the actor is amazing

Tasha Mar 27 2021 2:43 pm I just started this drama today! Like I’m on episode 3 and the end of episode 2 left me shook. This type of drama is my style. I have so many questions, but I’m gonna be patient and try to catch up.

Lets just enjoy this drama until the end Mar 27 2021 10:29 am If you watch until episode 11, some of your questions and confusions will be answered. Note in mind this drama ends on episode 16, so many things to be revealed. Let's just enjoy this drama up until the end.

LEE Mar 27 2021 8:17 am omo omo omo I Knew It!!!!! I knew it right from the start that there's something wrong with Park Jung Je. He must have killed Dong Sik's sis accidentally.. not sure if he's drunk or on drugs.. that is why he was sent to the mental institution because he was full of guilt.. he even keeps sketching Deers.. not sure if he just keep seeing deers instead of a person that is why he keep killing them lol

sf Mar 26 2021 11:53 am Why is the butcher girl still among the cops? It's so annoying, a civilian among the cops when they are talking about their work. So unprofessional. Not to mention, the expression on her face is most of the time so irritating, with a hint of arrogance and preciousness. So annoying.

Chan Mar 25 2021 10:20 am I think Jo Gil Goo is the one who killed Lee Dong Shik sister.

Heyena Mar 24 2021 8:28 pm I actually love all the characters in this series. They are not shown to be “ideal” or “perfect”, they are shown to be broken and vulnerable with much room for developments, they are shown to be “human”; which I think a lot of dramas lack (but also noticed how recent dramas are trying to incorporate this). The writer and director are very effective in showing multidimensional characters and that adds so much more depth to the story. Also, the way this drama portrays their “humanity” sets them apart and takes them a notch above other series with similar premises.

beyond evil best drama Mar 24 2021 6:47 am yall over here crying over joowon when in reality he's the only one with decent thinking lol manyang police officers are just weird they're protecting each other with the name of family etc when that's not professional as fck dongsik is weird jihwa is so not professional jihun is a weird stalker i dont even know how he passed the exam and jeongje n sangbae are also protecting dongsik when they're not even sure that whether dongsik a culprit or not.. the only one following the manual protocol is only han joowon yep all cops are bastard except han joowon

Detective Han Juwon Mar 24 2021 3:46 am I like DS, how pathetic he is. Yu Yeon's corpse that he's been looking for is in his own house. I know how crushed he feels. I also really like how JW and DS work as partners. the end of episode 10 is touching. I like this drama

sf Mar 24 2021 2:49 am I see that many viewers here do not like JW. I do like him. He is the only one who can think straight, without being influenced by friendship relations with anybody. Many time working alone, he found important points for his investigation. Many times he was the first one who investigated something and only after that, appeared in the same place DS too. I see that nobody cares that he is young and has less experience than DS, but he manages to discover different hidden things about someone or something which lead him to learn other things. Someone said here that he has rushed without thinking to where the butcher girl was but without count the fact that JW didn't have the information that DS had. So, in this case, why blame JW? Anyway, in this drama, my favourite character is JW. About DS, is or because of the character or because of the actor's playing style or both, but I have a feeling of rejection for him. For the first time since the beginning of the drama, I heard DS named JW as his partner. Big surprise.

Heyena Mar 24 2021 2:15 am @sensibleviewer I'm sorry I just really have to comment because you are being inconsistent with your claims about bad writing, and also coming out as a bit rude yourself. I can actually see a bit of HJW in you, with your righteous and know-it-all tone, you think you're so right even though you're not seeing the bigger picture.

First of all, I wasn't defending DS, even I didn't like how he never told anyone about anything but that's understandable because he was suspicious of everyone with the whole "possible accomplice" and "not wanting other people to be involved" and maybe "if other people knew, things would backfire". I wasn't even trying to defend that he didn't wanna get caught (because it was so obvious in the drama that he couldn't care less), I just wanted you to see the different Possible Perspectives as to why the scene went that way (not for DS but for what the writer might want the viewers to think/what the viewers themselves would think without caring about the writer) - with DS failing to "preserve the crime scene" which was the whole point of your dissatisfaction.

It's funny because the way you explained DS's actions as to what the writer was trying to show people of how "careless actions can cause an innocent's death" is actually a product of genius writing and directing...and you just don't want to admit that, the very point of this drama is showing how limited and vulnerable we humans are when faced with incredulous situations; this is not solely a "crime" drama, it's a "psychological thriller", the "careless actions resulting to a person's death" fits this drama more than "perfectly solving the crime" which is unrealistic if you ask me unless you can read minds or talk to the dead victims.

Indeed, JM didn't expect anyone to come which was why the fingers were still in the basement but a sheet of plastic was used to cover up the table and possibly floor before he chopped MJ's fingers and I think that same plastic was the same one used to wrap MJ's body before placing her underground...I don't think JM would be any more careless since the whole possibility of searching his house after a few days if people would discover that MJ went missing is pretty high. Also, didn't you remember how the judge believed DS's previous partners ongoing case that the victim had a "nosebleed" in the suspect's car? How much more having an accident in your own basement?

DS did what he did because "he" believes JM couldn't be indicated with just how everything was unfolding, JM could easily claim it was not him who did that: "how could I to my own daughter?" and act all mentally incapable of doing so and all.

I'm pointing out Possible Scenarios that could be used to explain the situation regarding DS's actions....I'm sorry if it came out as "rude" because of how I used capslock but those were just logically possible reasons which I wanted to point out and highlight, not to defend DS and his actions but for those claiming that what he did made no sense because Given The Situation he was in, his actions Did make sense. I'm not saying his actions were right, but his actions were reasonable Given The Situation, His Previous Experiences, and the State Of Mind he was in...all the more his actions made sense because he didn't care if he was caught breaking the law, just as long as the real culprit will go down with him.

Again, I'm not attacking you for disliking DS's character, why would I even care about who you like or not like? I'm commenting because as someone who also wants to be sensible in watching dramas (and not just be blinded by emotions about liking the actor or shallow melodramatic plot that touches the heart), I wanted to defend how the writer decided with the direction of the plot because it fits the whole premise of their goal/story and I think you missed that. That's why I wanted to point these all out for you to see that maybe you are wearing the wrong lens when watching this drama.

I don't want such a minor thing to affect other viewers' opinion of the drama because this drama, again, is a masterpiece...and although I'm not stopping you with your critiques, because again that means you're taking the drama seriously (which is good), but I won't stand by when it would seem like a misinterpretation or misunderstanding.

I actually enjoy discussions, not arguments. It would be great if we can continue dissecting the drama because this drama is worth that effort, but I think we got off on the wrong foot. Have a great day.

portrait Mar 24 2021 12:02 am someone is chattering in the comments column. I just want to laugh lmao this is the best drama of the year. I really like the character Dong Sik. the playwright is a genius !!!!

MASTERPIECE DRAMA Mar 23 2021 11:48 pm woowww. I just finished episode 10 after the marathon from episode 1 for one night. I really like it .. How Can This Drama Be Very Good. I'm sorry I underestimated this drama from the start.

Beyond Evil Stan Mar 23 2021 9:01 pm Flaws???? That what this drama doesn’t have. Stop it lol

Bae Rona Is Alive Mar 23 2021 7:49 am I hate Joo Woon character always tantrum like a kid No Progress. He doesn't act like Police Man........

Heyena Mar 22 2021 10:39 pm P.s. he has no idea if KMJ was even alive then! If he had have known, I daresay he would call the police immediately for KMJ can witness for him BUT in that situation, as a normal person who wouldn’t be able to think straight, he has already assumed that she had died (what if she already was dead when he came there? Remember he was jogging before going inside the house and just wanting to leave the key and go)...And If She Was Already Really Dead, there would be no way out for Dong Sik, he would be the only suspect there with no one to witness for him.

unknown Mar 22 2021 10:56 am @savagequeen his name is Kang Yu Seok. he's an agency with Shin Ha Kyun in Hoduu Entertainment, Kang Yuseok is a hoobae (junior)

savagequeen Mar 22 2021 10:27 am anyone know who is the man (reporter in episode 5) named on the drama im gyu seok?

Nurul syafiqah binti sabaruddin Mar 22 2021 9:12 am Watching beyond evil ep 10 my prediction is, i think it is chang jin who kill yu yeon and han joo won appa trying to cover it and make dong sik as a main suspect...That is why jung je doesnt want her mom close with chang jin coz he knows everything but due to the medicine that supply by chang jin, he cant remember it all..maybe there's something between chang jin and dong sik..chang jin also got married with ji hwa (divorce) maybe he know that ji hwa has feeling to dong sik or maybe chang jin like yu yeon but yu yeon like jung jae, then he kill her and give an order to jin mook to bury the body at dong sik's house.. After all its just my prediction.. This drama is really good..cant wait for next ep

jin Mar 22 2021 5:37 am I am very happy that this drama managed to increase the rating. that means getting to the end of the episode this drama line is very interesting. I can't wait for Friday. I just hope Lee Dong Shik can be happy. he was the victim of everything, from his youth until now he was never happy. she covered her feelings by acting like a Crazy Man. that's why he is said to be Dongshik Dorai (crazy). Even though I know there are still many flaws in this drama, I hope you can accept it. many crew and actors who have struggled to show their best. Beyond Evil Fighting !!!

Yu Mar 21 2021 8:31 pm Congratulations Jin Go

Aishq Mar 21 2021 5:34 pm I agree that Han Joo Won character is annoying and selfish. But yeo Jin goo's successful acting make me stay. Shin ha kyun acting is much better than in Fix You. I'm so happy that I decided to watch this. And I found the prettiest korean actress to date... Choi Sung Eun

About the story, it has plot holes. But I'm so curious who is the real killer.. gonna keep watching

THETRUTHTALKER Mar 21 2021 10:33 am This is the best crime/thriller korean drama ever made, even though people don't like Yeo Jin-Goo Character. Even Signal which i felt was extremely good is far behind this.

shk Mar 21 2021 1:37 am episode 10 is very touching. all those suspected were murdered. I am very curious who the other killer is. I am sad to see Dongshik who is always left behind by the people closest to him whom he considers like his own family. juwon repeated his mistake again he made Nam sangbae as bait. he does not learn from his experience. I'm looking forward to next week's episode

Ingrid Mar 21 2021 12:49 am i really don't like Han Joo Won. Altough Yeo Jin Goo who play it, he still look ugly in my eyes since he's so arrogant, stubborn & selfish. The only reason to watch this drama is because I really want to know what will Lee Dong Sik do to trap the real killer. There must be another killer beside Jin Mook, perhaps he's the mastermind behind every murder & Jin Mook just a puppet. Lee Dong Sik always act like he don't really care but I think he just try to keep his companions safe. Can't wait for next week episode.

Lee Mar 21 2021 12:15 am I think there are 2 killers.. the one who kills most of the girls and the one who killed Dong-sik sister.. probably Kang Jin-Mook knows who that killer is. This killer probably ask help from Kang Jin-Mook to hide the body of Dong-sik's sister. That is why when Kang Jin-Mook was in prisoned he help him commit suicide to hide his secret. This person probably has access to the police records and CCTV.. sooo..

im guessing this person is one of the police.. and probably has connections somewhere.. its either the irritating Kwon Hyeok or Park Jung-Je.

Mel Mar 20 2021 11:39 pm so who is the monster ??? hahaa this is really crazy the best psychology-thriller drama I've ever watched??

Tim Mar 20 2021 10:42 pm wow, I really don't like Han joo-won character at all, he is very egotistic and self center, like a kid who got his candy taken away and throwing a tantrum. he think he is so smart and no-one is smart enough to be his partner so he rather be alone but in fact he's just young and inexperience as a detective. he confessed that he carried out a sting operation while using the immigrant lady as a bait and resulted in her dead and he asked to be punished, but in episode 10 he just repeating the same mistake (2nd sting operation) again by using chef Nam as bait and he ending up dead as well, HJW just never learn his lesson. Dong-sik on the other hand seems ignorance but very caring, he wants to be alone because of the incident with his pervious partner, he couldn't protect his partner and the young detective died, that leave a scar so he is afraid if he gets another partner he won't be able to protect his partner. Dong-sik is smart and he investigates differently, he sure knows how to use his brain. Finding min-lung's fingers is probably just luck and he is happened to be there at the right place and the right time, but what he did after that was carefully plan. looks like there are 2 killers, one is jin-mook who kill thither girls and one is an unknown killer who killed the sister, there are a few people who know the person including chef Nam and jin-mook, this unknown killer killed the sister and cut her finger tips so he is a copycat, but jin-mook is the one hid her in the wall. Killers don't point fingers at each other since both will get arrested. copycat killer probably is someone in the police force or having a connection to be able to get that death certificate to give it to give it to jin-mook. her death probably related to the development of the town. things are getting complicated, but I do like the development, so will continue watching. Mouse is a good drama too.

Sammy Mar 20 2021 6:24 pm Omg episode 10 was a masterpiece and mindblowing can't wait for next week's epsiodes!!

He o mony Mar 20 2021 3:54 pm First few episode it was interesting , after episode 8, the stories has gone non sense and uninteresting . I really like the actor but unfortunely this drama is a failure.

sf Mar 20 2021 1:46 pm Still, one thing is unclear to me. Why did DS enter and search into JM's house? Did he have a hunch or, was it a pure curiosity if he had the key of the house anyway? To me, disclosure that JM is the criminal was based only on luck. Other than JW, no one seems to think logically in that police station, and always they are acting alone.

unknown Mar 20 2021 11:42 am episode 10 very interestingg!!!!!! i can't wait for the next episode

Naneun Mar 20 2021 7:08 am What a masterpiece

Just me Mar 20 2021 2:20 am Masterpiece !!!

shk Mar 20 2021 1:53 am Ohh God I was so sad for Dongshik when he found the body of his sister in his own house. I'm looking forward to episode 10 tonight. come on guys, don't argue because this drama hahah let's watch it

LEE Mar 20 2021 1:35 am what is Han Joo-Won's purpose? is he the villain? what is he? he's kinda irritating me on episode 9. Didn't he learned his lesson? he keeps accusing Dong-shik, without a clear basis. He just really hate Dong shik. I wonder if there's something that ties them in the in the past that is why he keeps accusing Dong shik of being a killer and never considers other people in his list...

Dongshik's only flaw in this story is he's too secretive.. he never says anything at all. He keeps covering up for other people. I don't think i want to continue watching this series after episode 10 because the characters is irritating as fuck.. im even beginning to hate Joo-woon's character and existence in this drama. He doesn't look like an expert at all. He just keep blaming on person over and over again. Is he even a detective?

I wonder how the killer hide his victims in the houses of other people without someone noticing them ROFL

dongshik first love Mar 20 2021 12:30 am That's your problem, in the first part of episode 8, the police clearly told police chief Nam Sangbae that Dongshik would be in trouble for wrecking the crime scene. but the police chief wanted to cover it up. here is the secret, why the police chief would want to hide it. why is he protecting dongshik. and the only way to know that is to watch the next episode: v

I hope you are not too fixated on the justice system in the drama beyond evil. the problem and the storyline of this drama would not exist, if dongshik reported the incident right away. this is the drama. You must have read the initial warning in this drama that all the events in the drama are fictional. so please understand

sf Mar 19 2021 10:32 pm @:) I mean, they didn't discover anything, they slept in their shoes.

:) Mar 19 2021 1:36 pm @sf

huh? What do you mean for 20 years nothing happened. The dude killed 7 (8?) people within those 20 years.

Also, I Love This Drama 10/10 as of episode 8 ;)

sf Mar 19 2021 12:13 pm For 20 years, nothing happened, but lately, the skeletons appeared like mushrooms after the rain.

rid Mar 19 2021 9:34 am Someone is being ridiculous here in the comment section. Hey, Mr/Ms. this is just a drama right? so why are you fixated on the justice system. And let me ask you, is this your first time watching something like this? then let me tell you that it is the same for all dramas. why do we even need a story if you wish they notice it so fast? Mr/Ms that's what you call development/progress(you can use your dictionary if you don't get it). Why would there be an ending if you wish that they would already have the conclusion just on th 8th episode? Nevertheless, just shut up and watch or even stop it if you want to because on the way you act towards the efforts of the production and staff is pure disrespect.

dizzy person Mar 19 2021 6:13 am Yeah, I'm sure Jinmook knows that someone knows that he killed Minjung. because the house is messy after dongshik unpacked the kimchi and others. but jinmook still lives like a normal person who doesn't know what's going on. maybe he feels confident because no one knows Minjung's body. that's why he didn't worry what would happen next. it shows that he asked Juwon to investigate the Minjung case again. correct me if i am wrong. that's just in my opinion

NobleRebel Mar 18 2021 9:16 pm It's starting to make no sense. Upon returning home from the butcher's store, won't Kang Jin Mook go straight to Min-jung's fingertips? He didn't realize they're missing? And when the fingertips were discovered in front of his house, it proves that someone broke into his house, took them, and knew he was the killer. And yet he acted normal and carry on his life?

Kdramama Mar 17 2021 9:41 pm Hi all, is it worth watching I don’t think Dong Sik is the killer . I think he is analysing how the murderer place the missing finger tips.. mmmm..

no Mar 17 2021 5:13 pm The kdrama universe is really giving the serial killer story obsessed girlies (me) what they want this season :') Between this show and Mouse, I'm living rn... this show has more suspense, and a more real feel while Mouse is a bit more fast paced/exciting. Beyond evil definitely takes the cake for me tho

Dongshik Lover haha Mar 16 2021 2:08 am When I first watched this, I liked the character Dongshik, I always thought positively about what was suspicious of him. but when I saw the end of episode 2 he put the fingers of the minjung in front of Jinmook's house. I was very shocked and started to hate the character, along with the episodes many of his behavior made me dizzy, and it made me confused about the character. what he wants. but when Jinmook got suspicious I started liking DOngshik again. I feel sorry to see him. he desperately wanted to find his sister's body

sf Mar 14 2021 10:51 pm While DS was preoccupied to play the role of a clown and laughing like a crazy man at JW, that girl was dying buried undergrown.

Arakha Mar 14 2021 8:26 pm This dramas more getting intense on every episodes, love it?

Minarii Mar 14 2021 11:34 am I absolutely loved this drama ! I love the proper character development and how it beautifully took shape , the mystery , the turns ohmahgod , this is the ideal type of mystery drama. It properly shows it and I am here for it <3

sads Mar 14 2021 8:14 am yeah i want to said it more. this one the best drama like you can see THIS DUO Yeo jin goo and Shin ha kyun.. woah they played their character perfectly..

and why people doubt with Yeo jin goo acting as HJW, i like how he show his expression as HJW while pointing out/calling out people of manyang.. yeah some of his reasoning are purely to his emotion(?) but you can see how episode 7 end ahhh that was frikin cool

anyway people should watch this!!!

Eeva Mar 14 2021 7:09 am Serem tapi seru cuy anjay

WATCH IT! Mar 14 2021 5:24 am with only 8eps.. i can already say that this is my fav kdrama!! alongside with signal and voice 1

Ranny francisco Mar 14 2021 4:14 am Getting better every episode. DONG sik, Jae Yi and Jin Mook are top performers. Congratulations

sf Mar 14 2021 3:51 am @Whoa When did they work together?

whoa Mar 14 2021 3:54 am ok this is getting intense, so I think there's more killer? since Kang Jin Mook ended his life like that. and I love it when Dong Sik is going nut or annoyed Ju Won hahaha like in Busan scene. cant wait for another scene where they'll work together like real partner hahaha

Just a little continued comment from mr theory Mar 14 2021 3:34 am For both of the main characters, Dong sik is a nut guy and he's keeping his sanity using his determined feeling to cath the physco. So I really love his character, I dont get easily fond of aged actor but Shin Ha kyun ajjushi did really good job!!! Honestly, I like his face when he go nut cause he filled it up with emotion lol. It means he potrayed dongsik very well. For Joo woon, I love him too even many of people said that his way for cathcing the criminal is bad/not pro, I think it's his own way to work thats why he also involved in success finding the killer. Im not telling ppl to agree with my thinking about him, but he has his own cool way tho. (Dont hate me lol). Time by time Dong sik change Joowoon perception and thats what make them good partner.

Mr theory never ending saga Mar 14 2021 3:22 am So for the next upcoming episode, chief sang bae is really something fishy. It could be that the truth is Jin mook really not the one who killed dongsik's sister but somebody who is near dongsik and keep watching him. But it's just my assume cause its likely that jin mook die (I hope not he need to get haevy punished). Overall, this drama is SO GREAT! All characters is connected by each other even I don't like the story of political and development idea but still I love this one. Its sad to see kang min jung died by suffocating (i just short it easy lol), I feel the chill when a person get confined in a plastic and alive ughh its so teribble. But then that's what keeping this drama great to look forward tho.

Belle Mar 14 2021 1:19 am I thought this drama would be bad, but this drama is getting more interesting every new episode comes. From something feels boring to something really heartbreaking, I hope the next half still has something to unveil and better story, usually drama will go down after first half finished, so please don't let us down with this one.

Country bumpkin Mar 14 2021 12:32 am Is is really that huge of difference, between cities and hinterland in korea? It is so depressing, the hinterland. Awesome visuals of hinterland. Great works for the landscape visuals!

LEE Mar 13 2021 11:46 pm i think Park Jung Je killed Dong sik's sister

dubu_bacon Mar 13 2021 11:19 pm At first, I was hesistant if it was a good drama. I thought it would be the usual psychopath crime drama. But to my surprise after watching the latest episodes it was more than that. If you’re planning to watch, definitely recommend. Plus actors are just chef’s kiss.

tha Mar 13 2021 9:39 pm istg you all will regret it if you don't watch this drama. the psychological story is so well-written. the actors’ acting skills are just top tier, that they can bring their characters seemed real. there are still so many more things to be revealed,

hihihello Mar 13 2021 9:05 am I am pretty sure there must be a reason why Dong Sik acts this way (like knowing everything but don't really do anything/such). Keep in mind that KJM might not be the real murderer, we can't be 100% sure even if the latest episodes kinda point out to him. Not sure about Jeong Je but I feel he's very suspicious and more truth to be revealed about him.

At this point, there are a lot of mysteries that are not yet been answered. I really hope that this drama doesn't disappoint throughout the episodes because it's getting interesting.

Sakaru Mar 13 2021 6:59 am Ok first off all who are saying that the characters are ignorant and not righteous police officers , understand that this area which they are working in has never had a serious case for 20 years so obviously they were not so devoted or were lethargic until Kang Min Jung became the victim which drove them emotionally and they are trying their best but obviously their experience lacks due to the lack of cases . So stop being so serious about this and just enjoy the mystery it builds up

sf Mar 13 2021 5:08 am DS is the worst cop ever. Arrogant, individualist, sarcastic, secretive, uncooperative and dictatorial with his new partner trying to block or minimized every action and effort of his. He is the quintessence of that terrible police station's workers. One more stupid and inefficient than others. However, the writer is trying to transform him into a victim when the best move would be to give him a kick in the ass. The only one who is trying to move something in that lethargic police station is Han Joo-Won. How can we expect these policemen to solve any case when they are siblings or friends with a lot of people from that town or regular customers of a store? Automatically they are tempted to eliminate all these people from the circle of suspects. Only because of luck, not because they were clever, one of the criminals was discovered.

Janna Mar 13 2021 4:27 am I just wanna say, you guys are sleeping on this drama!!! THE BEST. Can't believe I have to wait every week just to get a new episode. Superb actors, screenwriter, and director.

Top-tier.

WNDR Mar 12 2021 9:30 am So, I'm not sure if anyone else also thinks this, but there's got to be a connection between Han Joo-Won and Lee Joo-Yeon (Dong Sik's sister) because he's just way too interested and devoted to this case. Also, he specifically asked to transferred to that police station.

He's too emotional about the whole case and it just feels like he's in such a hurry to find the killer to expel his own anger and grief onto someone.

Look forward to future episodes to explain or reveal more.

kekerikeke Mar 10 2021 10:53 am Just watched episode 6 and it's awesome so far. I believe there will be more surprises and truth begins to unfold. Looking forward to the next episodes. 1 of the best mystery dramas, if I may say. All the actors and actresses are great.

Ms Mars Mar 10 2021 4:21 am I miss seeing Yeo Jin goo on TV after Hotel del Luna. glad he has a new series now. Starting with Episode 1. Ha Kyun a great actor indeed. young actors should learn from this man.

good luck Beyond Evil cast and prod! stay safe and healthy!

Zein Mar 09 2021 11:01 am Shin ha kyun performance is mind blowing. He is such a talented and versatile actor. I really hope he come to Hollywood.

ikero Mar 09 2021 9:31 am no one expect who the real murder is ? waw ..

Paul Edward M. Hipa Mar 08 2021 8:17 pm I am watching 7 ongoing kdramas now and I have the least interest in this drama but I'm getting furious every week. Damn, dong sik know everything but he keeps it to himself. ?

Mariaaa28 Mar 08 2021 10:13 am The people producing this drama are really smart. They do not have a lot of popular names in the casts except for the leads. Most of the casts do not have a lot of experiences but they are all good. Nice choice there. The one acting as Kang Jin Mook, this is his first kdrama as written in his profile but he's good at portraying his character. The others too. I got goosebumps when Nam Yoon Soo's tone and facial expressions suddenly change while he was talking to Jin Goo when he was washing his car.

mofo Mar 08 2021 3:25 am shin ha kyun used to be a good actor and a joy to watch. but his acting here though is kinda overboard, he needs to reign in that mysterious character, be more nuance.

Sammy Mar 07 2021 8:27 pm Wow I am loving this drama so much literally it's actually giving me goosebumps in every epsiode!! All the actors done a fantastic job! Actually I wanna see what happened to yoo jae's mother cuz I just recently seen epsiode 7 trailer oh my! I think han joon goes to save her and well I think he might fall in love with yoo jae! Loving this drama so much!! ❤️❤️❤️ Good casting choice since we are getting to see bromance let's of we might see romance between yoo jae and haan joon!

Sammy Mar 07 2021 8:20 pm Wow I am loving this drama so much literally it's actually giving me goosebumps in every epsiode!! All the actors are fantastic job! Actually I wanna what happened to yoo jae's mother like just recently seen epsiode 7 trailer oh my! I think han joon goes to save her and well I think he might fall in love with yoo jae! Loving this drama so much!! ❤️❤️❤️ Good casting choice since we are getting to see bromance let's of we might see romance between yoo jae and haan joon!

sf Mar 07 2021 4:45 am A bunch of incompetent police officers is in that police station! Everybody is hiding information from everybody instead to resolve the crimes their main concerns are to cover up the various suspicious situations of their colleagues. No-one collaborates with anyone.

☆ Mar 06 2021 10:39 pm Episode 6: Theory i was so suspicious to park jeong je. first, why did he lie about going abroad when hes actually in mental hospital and why he kept dreaming about women calling him? and, kang jin wook. i dont think he will do such a thing. min jung was his daughter. if he really did that. he cutted min jung's finger but how is it possible? Her fingers was cutted. how could she text a message to his father. this drama is a lit. it is hard to identify the murderer. Im looking forward to next episode!

Aisha Mar 06 2021 10:27 pm Because I saw many disappointed reviews.. I'll share my opinion too..the story was slow and too confusing at first, I almost give up. But the later episode are getting better

As for Yeo Jin Goo, I think his acting not as good as when he was jn Hwayi. I don't know why. But I still have high hopes for the next episodes. As for Shin Ha Kyun, I dislike his acting in Fix You, but I think his acting is much better here. There are some awkward acting, but the emotions and character understanding are pretty good. I expect him to show more in the next eps too. He's so manly... And he suits the character so much

Its true that both of their characters are extremely anoyying. But the story makes so much sense (why the characters are made to be like that).. I enjoy this so far

wild guess! Mar 06 2021 1:42 pm before i started watching Ep5, something came into my mind and what if KMJ's father is the serial killer because he see's all of his victim(all of them are women) as someone just like his wife who ran away from home. Although my theory is still incomplete, I'm sure that what I am saying now is part of the truth behind the identity of the real culprit.

p.s.: I decided to share my theory because i was cinvinced when i saw the preview for Ep6

Avlov Mar 06 2021 6:37 am Tbh, i dont enjoy the drama. Since episode 1, they dont focus on looking for suspect and evidences. All they have in conversation is offending Joo Woon, challenging him because he is a "city" police officer, and being proud to live in small village and protect each other.

Even the flashback of Dong Sik was suspected 20 years ago doesnt give me any clues. Idk whether tonite's episode will be better or their conversation only goes around in circles.

Lucy Mar 06 2021 6:31 am At least in this latest episode, I finally knew the reason why HJW acted that way. I mean why the hell would you go around and spilled out your instincts and guts without any evidence. Now I supposed the murderer ball is passed to KJM. Cant wait for the next episode.

Maya Mar 06 2021 4:27 am I am not really the type of commenting about dramas and it's literally the first time I'll do it because? Why not?? Inistress ako ng dramang ito. Both the main characters are annoying me to the bones but the character that Yeo Jin Goo's portraying, being a very doubtful one had annoyed me to another level. However, these reasons are proof that this drama is a good one, for me!

sf Mar 06 2021 3:48 am Why a mentally ill person works as police employed?

sf Mar 06 2021 12:40 am Lee Dong-Sik looks crazy, acts like crazy, his arrogance is not justified by anything plus, if we add to these, the actor appearance, DS character is annoying as hell. For 20 years, DS has not discovered the culprit, but he despises his partner effort to solves the crimes. I hate the actor for his way to act and DS character too.

Davod Mar 05 2021 10:39 pm Speaking from only episode 1 - 4. Yeo Jin-Goo is a great actor but I really cannot take him seriously in this drama for whatever reason... I cannot put my finger on it.. But I really like the concept of this drama so far.

Aisya Mar 05 2021 12:30 pm Now this drama grows on me... I really love it

ikero Mar 04 2021 12:49 pm i like the aspects of confusion , mystery and psychology .. it made it interesting .. a brainstorming drama it made me think about some hypothese who the real killer is ? one of theme i guess : Kwon Hyeok

yjg luvr Mar 04 2021 11:55 am ah as expected from yeo jingoo's acting! the pilot ep wasn't as strong as i expected and until ep 4 it's just fine??? n i found everyone annoying lol n there were too many mysteries at once so it really is confusing but it's just ok this far?? i came for yeo jingoo lol

진구 eyes Mar 03 2021 11:14 pm it’s amazing, they’re doing such a great job, can’t wait to see the next episode!!

Cicco Mar 03 2021 10:39 am He's really scary. I'm not comfortable seeing him. Great actor indeed

Lee Mar 02 2021 1:06 am i dunno about you but im irritated as f*ck with Han Joo-Won character hahahah! why do these people keep arresting suspects without looking for their alibis/motives and evidence first. it's irritating.

el Feb 28 2021 8:49 am at first I thought Park Jung Jae was the killer...but idk the series is getting more tense!! although I havent finished ep.4 yet lol. so idk what actually happened, going to watch laterrr

Jil Feb 28 2021 8:36 am Too slow phasing.

But the mind game is a bit intriguing.

I just hope its get faster, i get sleepy all the time.

Nina Feb 27 2021 11:48 pm I think park jung jae is the killer ?

Purple Feb 27 2021 7:39 am At first, im interest.. I love mystery, i love seo jin go and shin ha kyun. But at episode 2, i realize this is too heavy.. Im bored and tired.. Specially for dong sik. If he wants to clears his name and find the truth.. He should coorporate with some friends , who can be trusted rather than work alone and being a sacratis to everyone.

On episode 1, i guess dong sik, park jung je and han ki hwan is the suspect, on episode 2 han jo woon looks so weird and also theres lee chang jin, If theres new suspect on episode 3, im give up.. I'll waiting for the last episode only for know, whos the killer.

anankee Feb 27 2021 6:14 am why all the characters are suspicious, it's very difficult to guess or this is some kind of strangers from hell where a group of psychopaths disguise themselves as cops or something, anyway this drama is very interesting !!

LEE Feb 27 2021 6:05 am I wonder why they keep comparing this series to Flower of Evil..

I mean.. Flower of evil is different, that series is a masterpiece. meanwhile this one... this has different formula.. this is like watching Hello Monster/ Tunnel/Signal/Voice type of drama without those time travelling shit.

Most of the time, the culprit is always around them.. if its police crime thing, the villain is always the police.. always one of them. I think they just make it seem that lee dong sik is suspicious character ..this series is trying to make us think maybe he's the killer..

usually at the beginning of the series, we are always trick to think like the main lead is the real killer to divert the real one.

i feel like something is off with ... Han Joo-Won..... he seems to see things that aren't there.. and his father send him off somewhere far.. he must have some hidden dark past that his father is afraid that it might ruin things for him...

Another reason on why it has 'Evil' in the title i guess. Thanks for making me realise that.

sf Feb 27 2021 1:50 am Are those policemen, or a bunch of incapable and crazy people dressed like policemen? The craziest and annoying is Lee Dong-Sik I don't know how I will manage to watch this drama seeing him all the time in it? The way the actor is playing DS's character is as annoying as hell. But nobody in that town seems to be mentally sane.

Ayu Feb 26 2021 11:46 pm I think the killer is police officer Park Jung Je. His mother knew the truth but covereed up his son crime

Nina Feb 26 2021 10:42 pm Wow this drama is predictable and also unpredictable at the same time. I wonder who’s the killer? It’s so hard to figure it out.

Indera Andra Feb 26 2021 12:30 pm Im crazy about this. Still ep 2, but intens! Who is the killer? What, when, why????

Wew Feb 26 2021 3:25 am I dont know whether someone else also spot this but im getting weird about the story timeline..in episode 1 YJG just reach the station about to start the day but the chief already told him to find mr.bang..as soon as he reach the paddy field is already dawn and night...is it far away like hundred km just to go to the field?

G-Dragon Feb 25 2021 3:48 am Okkk it reminds me of Flower Evil, Flower Evil the signature of the killer is removing the thumbnail, While the Killer here in Beyond Evil signature is removing all the fingers.....

Aigo Feb 24 2021 12:18 pm I do think its Jin Mook, Min Jung father!! The killer loves pretty nails I think? I’m so excited!

jihoon Feb 24 2021 5:55 am kang jin mook(min jung father) is the killer?

Ingrid Feb 22 2021 6:30 am Just finished episode 2 & now I have the best reason to wait for weekend. Ithought YJG play a psychopath, but SHK with his evil grin... mmm... it's thrilling. Well, there're "curious" with all caps in my mind.

Zarrr Feb 22 2021 5:54 am yoo jae yi, she is the killer

Typical007 Feb 22 2021 2:33 am Is he the killer?! Interesting

Ashvini Bandara Jan 02 2021 7:06 am I'm actually pleased with the talent of an actor here. i won't mention the name since after searching i got to know that the whole crew is talented. Hence , i used to research Korean dramas after seeing that talented actor. I have something to do ahead , thanks to him i got to know that there are many talented actors in Korea in different fields. Hope one day I could meet him in person , as well as I think this drama will be a high - rated one . Good luck!
