This episode felt more like an ep. before the big finale, but it it just ep. 7 which means we are halfway through.

If you have watched ep. 8 on Hulu I DON'T WANT any spoilers!

1. Geon Oh must be the only one knowing what was in the bag right? Cause it would make no sense otherwise. I mean it's impossible that no one noticed that the phone, a book and a freaking underwear went missing.

2. Every episode I have the urge to punch "his friends" more and more with a baseball bat...

3. It was basically confirmed that uncle cop was not there and he just covered the murder and doesn't know all the details. Plus it was confirmed that Da Eun probably had an inappropriate relationship with the doc or at least she was hitting on him.

4. There were some things I didn't like in the episode.
- Why did the police officer not suspect ML or in some way search his house when he said he didn't see who broke into his house and hit him? Uncle cop obviously knew they were still investigating the case and they were sus, but he must have known that ML was lying about what happened that night right? Even though it wasn't shown, they must have told uncle cop that ML saw one of them (unless they were that stupid)...
Didn't he think that he is hiding something serious when he said he saw no one? Didn't it cross his mind that something from the bag is missing?

- Why the hell did the main police officer not think that that bastard would find a way to crash his car when he disappeared from behind him? Why was his first thought that he gave up?

- Why did the main cop went to get the results when he saw he was being followed? He could easily do it another time since no one knew about it and head elsewhere since he knew he was being followed. (Don't get me started on the fact that somehow bastard cop went to the "police station" tracked his car and somehow managed to be there in time or at least almost in time).

- The way everyone was touching that bag with their bare hands...
Well that can be justified but still...

- I know JW is angry and I understand his reaction, but at the same time I am irritated with what he did. He literally barged in a hospital with a hammer and the security also apparently didn't exist to stop him on time before following bastard nurse all the way down to the parking lot.

5. Did the cop like Bo Yeong? That's what it looked like. What the hell did bastard nurse even mean when he said "it's because of you"?

6. Na Gyeon is making me the most confused in the series. Does she know anything about Bo Yeong? I would say no, cause she organized that whole reunion to find out more about her. But then she went ahead and told the ML's friends to help when it comes to ML getting away from there and going to Seoul and forgetting everything.
Da Eun is a whole other thing. It looks like Na Gyeom knew about the relationship between Da Eun and the doc (as expected). So she is still a huge suspect when it comes to that case.

😂😂😂

I honestly don't remember that at all 🤯
but I am wondering if we actually missed any details throughout the series that could have been perceived differently.

That was honestly weird.
Perversion 😂
I get the whole dying bro being on the real timeline where everything went to shit 💩 but the whole "bro coming back alive and fine" may just have been the directors choice to fully confuse the audience 😂

I feel like I have never truly watched a bl that has an intricate well written plot (outside the safe concepts of school etc) that is actually not fully cringy or at least a bit on the "unbelievable"/fantasy side.
This one feels quite unique plot wise and it is pretty interesting, but yeah after the first few eps I was like "this will make no sense" but unexpectedly it seems to be pretty solid so far. Hopefully this will age well and the series doesn't crash and burn in the final episodes.

Completely agree. It is actually quite prominent from ep. 1
I don't think it is a budget problem though. Probably something having to do with the make up or maybe the editing process.

I think the minutes passing are probably when he is in the hospital -the scene we watch in the beginning of episode 1 where someone is laying in a hospital bed and we don't see his face-.
I agree with everything. I like how the series made Great to be a very flawed and indifferent character. I love how the whole 4-minute thing is not really a sci-fi element like I thought in the beginning but more of a way for Great to make things right in his head after all the -immoral- actions he committed.

I am not sure about the rest, but at least I am optimist -enough- that the series will make sense in the end and they will not start dropping nonsensical scenarios here and there.

I wish

There is no link for episode 7. Even if there was, please wait to watch it legally if possible.

Episode 7 was accidentally leaked a few weeks ago by iQiyi. There are some scenes going around on the internet, but not the entire episode.

FINALLY!

Pretty sure the ending was quite ambiguous and you can interpret it in many different ways. There is not only one right answer, since the writer didn't really bother to explain anything.

It could be multiple things:
1. Nulek (the daughter) died first after running away from home due to her unhealthy relationship with her mother. After that, either her mom or her grandma did the ritual thing with the shoes to get her back. So all interactions we see between mom and daughter are fake and the mom just imagines her daughter, cause she can't deal with the fact that she disappeared. She could probably see her spirit and thought it was truly her.

2. After the disappearance of the grandma, the mom did the ritual to bring her back, but she ended up bringing a possessed "monster" instead. That monster went after Nulek and while trying to get away from home she got hit by a car and died. And then the mom tried to do the same to bring her back cause she couldn't deal with losing her daughter.

3. The mom brought back two "evil spirits" and she is living with them, cause she can't deal with the fact she lost both her daughter and mother. The dude that Nulek keeps seeing is investigating the house cause it seems he has a "youtube" channel about haunted houses.

4. My most probably scenario:
Nulek disappeared/died first after running away from home. Her mom did the ritual and brought her spirit back. She was seeing her, but in reality her human form was not there. That is why the "youtube dude" kept investigating the house. He heard voices and saw things moving around by themselves (by the spirit Nulek). That is very probable, since he had no reaction when Nulek noticed him.
After that the grandma disappeared. She did the same ritual to bring her back, but instead she brought back a monster. That monster went after Nulek's spirit that ended up disappearing once again. The mother did the ritual again to bring her daughter back. However, this time she brought back an evil spirit that ended up killing that youtuber along with the monster grandma.

We basically have no idea when the last scene with the car happens. It is highly possible, the mom run over her own daughter and because she couldn't handle it, she did the ritual in hopes to bring her back. Or -most probable scenario- it was directed that way -Nulek being runned over by a car and then no body in sight- to underline that Nulek's physical form basically never existed. All the monstrous things of the grandma happened only with Nulek. The mom probably saw her all natural, but Nulek could see her true form and her true intentions cause she was not human herself.

All theories have some plot holes. That is what I remember coming up with when I watched the episode. Probably missing some details. It was pretty badly written imo and I don't think the scriptwriter actually wanted us to fully understand what happened. I hope my answer didn't confuse you even more.

Thank you! Didn't remember it at all. I was mostly wondering if it is exactly the same thing. Thank you for being specific and differentiating the two.

Jiang Tian is so great I can literally make a list with all the great things he has done in only 6 eps.

Is this for real?

Edit: There seems to be a mistake. The poster is from a series coming in October and it has nothing to do with Beyond Evil. So either there are two series (one a remake of BE and one a series with lawyers) or there is a mistake and this is not a BE remake.

Technically there is cheating, but definitely not in a romance drama type of way.

SPOILERS (but I tried to be as vague as possible)



In addition to what Yamuri mentioned, there is cheating going on, but like not in a romance drama type of way. It is just part of the general investigation plot.
Plus, there is a speculation about some other characters when it comes to cheating, but it is not 100% confirmed for the time being.

Does Sheng Wang have prosopagnosia?

No.

Thank you, I just saw a post about it!

The novel is not that long though (maybe three published novels, but overall not that many pages) and the way they adapt it so far taking into consideration the pacing they can easily finish it in one season. I hope they don't cut the story halfway through for no reason.

Why a season two though? I hope they actually finish with the original material in this season. There is plenty of time to do so. I suppose S2 probably has to do with something particular in the book, cause it wouldn't be a good choice to actually not finish the main story in this season.

"You must have been very scared at that time, really hoping someone could help you, but there was no one"

This episode was easily the best so far. Their chemistry is so good and I love how supportive they are of one another. Jiang Tian beating those people cause they beat Sheng Wang. The way he got silently angry when he saw that wound 😭
He is too good to be true. He is so kind, but so hurt I want to hug him 🫂
When he told Sheng Wang to trust in himself after what Qi Jia Hao said 😍

I already feel so much pain for Jiang Tian. He doesn't trust people easily and it is still difficult for him to even think that his new home will be a safe and stable place. Poor Mr Ding even gave a speech to Sheng Wang to not let Jiang Tian push him away like he does with everyone. I am such a sucker for these characters, I can't help but really like them.

Did they confirm that? Why would there be a season 2?

Thank you for sharing! (Tagging this as a spoiler since it got too long)

I personally don't really differentiate web novels and published novels. I think a good novel is a good novel and a bad novel is a bad novel. This one, imo, is very well written, especially character wise. Plot may not be something revolutionary but it is still well written.

I think most important thing when it comes to reading is enjoy what you are reading, feel for the characters. It is important to absorb you. If something manages to do that, it is good enough in my book.

Regarding the writing style, I can't really judge simply cause I have not read the book in the original language. Funny thing is that the fan translators sometimes do a much better job comparing to actual editors that are getting paid.
I have come across better writing style in fanfictions compared to some published books. So for me, it is just a matter of good or bad.

However I do agree that we tend to have lower standards when it comes to web novels maybe because of the way they are written. Some publish like a chapter a day and we underestimate them ourselves when a whole book can be found online for like 2 dollars.
But managing to create such complicated and well written characters without having the actual time some published authors have is extraordinary and I suppose yes it creates more expectations for published novels.
