Yes! It has such a great OST.

That will take a while lol. Glad you like it though!

No! I understood your comment, don't worry. I just explained from my POV why KSH's performance seemed to not be mentioned as much even though he was great. You are right about that scene. Unfortunately it is not the first time (and certainly not the last) that sexual assault is portrayed and viewed like that from the audience. It could have been handled differently. However, (if I remember correctly) when I was watching the series I remember reading multiple articles about people criticizing that scene as a sexual harassment scene (as it should). If it was handled a little bit more carefully it would underline that it is wrong and at the same time it would emphasize how can a person with APD act.

I partly agree. I don't think anyone doubts KSH's acting ability after watching this drama. He was really good and his performance is certainly praiseworthy. I understand your point completely. It's much harder to stand out when you play a character that his actions are "normal". However, Oh Jung Se was mindblowing. He became his character. Not many actors are able to do this and even though it's easier to stand out with these kind of roles it is also easier to completely destroy a character if you are not near to perfection. So I understand why people praise him and SYJ more. About that scene you are talking about (which I assume is the half naked KSH in the "lockers" scene) I understand your point. What she did was definitely bad and it shouldn't be considered lovely or adorable or whatever. However, the scene by itself is great, because SYJ's character has antisocial personality disorder and one of the things that "characterize" this disorder is the fact that people like KMY do things that can be legally prosecuted, because they can't comply with laws and sometimes they don't really care about other people's rights.

Congratulations to everyone that contributed in making this series. Best screenplay, best drama and the best actor award to Shin Ha Kyun that truly deserved it for his flawless performance!

First of all this has nothing to do with mouse so don't expect something similar. This is character driven and slow paced, while mouse is mostly plot driven and fast paced. Beyond evil has a darker vibe than mouse, even though it doesn't involve as much blood or deaths comparing to mouse. You will definitely appreciate the OST and you will adore the acting. I don't know how to really explain it, but Beyond Evil is a psychological thriller that doesn't really give emphasis on what you will expect. It is not a drama that has many plot twists and it doesn't want to shock. If you watch it, you will understand what the writer wanted to emphasize! It just feels realistic in a way.

First of all, no need to be rude. I just stated my opinion about how I perceived their relationship. I believe it is very well written. The main "theme" of the series is the relationship between the protagonist and the people around him and how he is affected by them. The relationship is portrayed exactly like that. Like something distant and inauthentic. That doesn't change the fact that they are in a relationship. We may not see on screen how much they care(d) about each other, but they are together. If you spend some years of your life with another person that currently you are not in love with and that person was in danger, would you just let them die? What did you expect the series to portray? Their interactions? Keep in mind that we see a situation that is currently happening and some fragments of the past. We neither see (from what I remember at least) what happened exactly with the ML's family. That doesn't change the fact that he is greatly affected by them. I am just curious about what exactly you would consider good writing about their relationship. This is a psychological thriller/horror. It is not needed to see how their relationship was, but how their relationship is now, which is just basically fake.

Edit: Since you have finished the series and if I remember correctly everything we see (at least the scenes regarding the ML) is the way the ML interprets the situations around him. In other words he is the one interpreting his relationship in that manner. So we basically have an unreliable "narrator" like in some novel.

People tend to rate while watching, so if they don't like it the rating will be low. However the final rating will be decided after the series end (or a week before it ends).

There certainly could be a behind story or more explaining regarding KJM's character, but I am glad there isn't. Like Heyena mentioned and how Ji Hwa mentioned in the series, he is a person who took other peoples lives. There is no need for motives, understanding or knowing the background of KJM. Like it is mentioned in the other comment, the fact that he pretended to be handicapped was probably to seem innocent to other people.

I love that sometimes we just try to logically explain some things. If Lee Yoo Yeon hadn't pointed her finger toward him he would kill her for sure, because she saw him. Would he cut of her fingers though? Yes. He would cut YY's fingers and any other woman's that he would want to kill, even if she didn't point her fingers at him. Why? Because that is his signature. Serial killers have a signature (it is not necessary something they leave in the body), but in this case it is ''cutting the fingers''. It is something he must do to get pleasure. I may be confusing it though with the M.O. though. In any case, it is something he has to do for the killing to be complete.

I loved the way KJM was portrayed, because I didn't need any explanation of the things he did. The things that were provided to us were enough to understand what happened. There in no logic sometimes in these kind of cases (or at least something that can be easily understood by a background check or something). I personally despised KJM. I didn't hate him that much because of the crimes that he was shown to do. I hated him more, because I saw how his actions affected LDS and so many other people and how they lived a miserable life, because of what he did. ''The living should keep on living'', but how can you live when you are dead inside from everything that you have been through? This is not a series about the killer or why he did it. It is a series about the people left behind and about the actions they may do to bring justice.

LDS's mother didn't know. However she was the one who raised KJM and she cared for him. Like it is mentioned in the series, every person treated KJM as a servant and made him construct things and do different jobs. She just wanted him to get some rest and stop working.

That was long, but I want to leave this here. I had a class the other day and my professor said that sometimes there is no ''why'' or a least there is no ''why'' that can be explained with our ethics. Then she proceed to say that when someone asked a cannibal about the reason he ate his victim he answered ''because I was hungry''. Sometimes our logic doesn't explain things.

Their relationship is supposed to be like that. Yes. There is mo chemistry between them. Probably they just care a bit for each other since it seems that they are together for quite a while. They are distant and they are not in the best terms. They are just the basic couple that stays together because they can't break it off just to be in a relationship. And you will ask "why they don't break it off?" Because that just how things work sometimes. I am sure you have heard stories from friends about things like that. Some stay together because they just want to be in a relationship (and for others to see). Let's not forget how important social image is in Korea. It's not that easy to break it off with a person that you have been with for a long time even if there is no spark or not an actual relationship. That's how things go sometimes. Does it make logical sense? No. However people don't really use their mind in a relationship. It's been a while since I watched the series, but the thing is that it is supposed to be like that. The ML has no one to turn to when he faces difficulties. Even his family "asks" for money. His girlfriend is the only person that is there (even if theoretically she isn't) and she is the only person he can turn to and that person doubts him and humiliates him. That is one of the reason that the ML ends up that way. So why doesn't she break it off? From what I remember she herself was quite selfish and she wanted him to be someone who he is not. She seems to have some feelings left for him (not love though). And I think that the basic reason is the fact that the society wants people at this age to be in a relationship. And they stay like that. It may not seem good to you or to think that this is bad writing, but I personally have heard many cases like that in real life. They are just two people that don't love each other as much anymore, but at the same time they can't let go. Besides that, this is not a romance. They are not a main couple or the main plot of the series so they is no reason for the viewers to see how their relationship was. What matters is that their relationship now is not good and that affects the ML.

Just searched it and it is quite shocking. It would be interesting to know about all the stories since season 1 (at least) is based on true events, but I can't find anything.

It's possible since we are talking about Penthouse, but the photos have nothing to do with it. People probably added the actors from the previous season in this one too. That doesn't necessarily mean that he will be back. There is also the possibility that he will appear in flashbacks.

I meant that it doesn't seem that people get infected with a bite. Only the FL is infected.

People tend to vote while watching and there are only a few people that have rated the drama (and maybe a few haters). The ratings will change soon.

If anyone watches it let me know if the FL is strong or a dumsel in distress.

That's highly possible. Since she intervened in the last episode it is likely that her mother has something to do with it. Frankly I would prefer not to know a lot about Nanno or if they want to tell us about her story I would like to find out a few episodes before the series ends for good.

Yeah I get that. Everyone has their own opinion and that's perfectly fine. It's not nice to always complain. That is for sure. The TK thing is also annoying me. However I get that some people are dissapointed (some of them waited years for the second season) so I get that they want to comment that they didn't enjoy the second season as much.

Exactly! I needed this kind of drama, since most of the shows I watched and the ones I am currently watching are darker or have very sad scenes. So I really don't want this to be turned into a tragedy.

That's what it seems like

Probably, even though the actress may know a little bit more about who Nanno really is. However she herself didn't really state it as a fact. Her description fits her character, but that's it.
