I'd say give it a try at least until Ep 7 because that is when you will realize how carefully the writer has crafted on what happened on the night of Minjung's murder. If you can't wait until then, that's okay too. ^^

Here is also a comment on reddit from user teamautumn which perfectly describes what I love about this drama.

"I liked Beyond Evil from the beginning.
I started loving it in Episode 4.
I was deep in love by Episode 6.
I became **obsessed** in the first few minutes of Episode 7.
I now live and breathe Beyond Evil after Episode 8.
I basically live inside Dongshik's mind now. I feel like I live in Manyang with the rest of the miserable folks ? Episode 9 & 10

Beyond Evil doesn't give the audience cheap thrills. It doesn't use sensationalized action or violence to draw the viewers in. Yes they are trying to figure out who the killer is, but that's only a small part of the story. The drama is more about the people outside of the killer and victim. How did these events affect them, how are they living with this trauma, how are they related to each other, and how everyone is involved even if they didn't kill someone directly.

My description doesn't make Beyond Evil sound very fun. lol So what makes Beyond Evil fun? It's one of those dramas when you find out the truth, you immediately rewatch the previous episodes and you start seeing the clues the drama already showed. I just didn't know what I were watching until I found out what I was looking for. Then you see the cleverness of the writer/director and are amazed at the level of detail they put into this work. Plus, the acting is phenomenal and the music is so good.

Oh and there are definitely really exciting and scary scenes. It's just that those scenes are about 20% of the drama."

It's been established earlier on that Yuyeon had been ran over repeatedly. One would think someone must've wanted her to die so bad to kill her so cruely. Turns out, Han Kihwan did a hit and run on her. And PJJ ran over her agan while drunk. It's been established earlier that he was also drinking on the night of Yuyeon's murder.

There are still 4 episodes left that will further explain what fully happened and I'm really looking forward to it.

All I know is that this drama has been very consistent with every piece of info that has been released so far. This drama is also very well-researched with 8 script consultants and 6 production consultants from different police stations, ranks, divisions.

Also, Beyond Evil is releasing script books in 3 volumes. Vols 1-2 are the scripts for Eps 1-16 and 3rd volume is called secret writer's notes which include a bunch of details involved in this drama including autopsies, case files, text messages, characters bakckground info among others.

So much details went into the making of the drama and it really shows which is why I'm enjoying it so much.

It is. You can search it there.

He keeps achieving peak handsomeness every episode, it's insane!

I believe so too!♥

She isn't the scriptwriter for The Light in Your Eyes. The English sites have mixed up the writer of Beyond Evil and writer of The Light in Your Eyes because they have the same name. If you will check their Korean profiles, you will find that they are different people.

LOL that dedication (b＾_＾)b

:((

Wishing you all the best!

I really appreciate how the reveals in this drama are consistent with the established narrative right from the beginning. All the main players are introduced from the get go and with every episode, they each lay out their own pieces of the puzzle that eventually show the big picture of what actually happened.

There's nothing groundbreaking about the whole plot of this drama, but the brilliance in this show lies in the storytelling and how morally grey and beautifully complex the characters are. The writer already had her full picture prepared and that's when she broke it down into pieces, throwing in the bits at us whenever the time's right. A lot of writers tend to start out with all these mindblowing plots and setups but without any prepared end in sight so they just BS their way up as they go. But here, there are no scenes wasted, everything is important because they all build up to somewhere.

I'm so excited (and very sad at the same time) for this drama to end because the rewatch value in this is going to be REALLY GREAT. I really hope the last 4 episodes continue to be splendid.

Beyond Evil is going to be released worldwide on Netflix on April 11, immediately the day after it ends its broadcast in Korea. I hope people who are capable of watching this drama legally will support it through the official platforms. Normally kdramas take a couple of months before they are released on netflix (unless the drama is produced by netflix or the production has a partnership with netflix), and the word of mouth it has received in Korea is a testament to how good this drama is, to the point that it's immediately going to netflix right after it ends. I think JTBC kinda regrets not giving this show the push it deserved much sooner.

They're cute and they understand each other really well. Their interactions don't feel forced. Whether they end up as good friends or something more at the end, I'm all for it.

Russian.

This is what happens when people cast actors for their capabilities and not their popularity.

Indeed, it's also funny how to some people, morally grey = badly written when being morally grey is what makes the characters far more interesting than just being plain old goody two shoes.

I understand HJW had flaws in his personality with his arrogance and initially seeing things as black and white. But despite all that, the actions and suspicions he had in the beginning still made sense from the POV of his character. When LDS found out that HJW was desperate to solve the case because of his guilt, he should've made his stance clear already at that point and yet he had to wait until Jaeyi was in danger before telling Joowon the truth.

What never sat right with me was how people insulted Joowon's intelligence calling him stupid and useless. He may have been arrogant, rude, entitled, saw things as black and white but he also had to figure out every bit of missing information on his own while LDS was deliberately making himself suspicious and Manyang ppl obviously covering up dirty truths behind their strong community. All his actions made sense from his POV who never had access to watching LDS backstory.

And even if he used the chief as a bait, NSB's death also has nothing to do with HJW. If anything, if he didn't use NSB as bait, he wouldn't have thought of tracking NSB and they would never have found his body. So what exactly should HJW be kneeling to LDS for? Is this person saying 7yo HJW was driving the car the night YY died or something?

Even with his character growth people will just villify his every action just for the sake of it.

Han Joowon, how dare you help in revealing KJM as the culprit and how dare you help Dongshik get to the bottom on who murdered Yuyeon! You monster!! Can't you see Dongshik is happy living in a lie with his Manyang family? *gasps*

Ep 12: Oh honey, you have a big storm coming.

LOL at the hairdo. And no, you're not the only one♡

Poor girl just couldn't catch a break :(

Aww thank you!
