Beyond Evil

Watching any film or series from South Korea does take a bit of time to settle in but once it gets going and you are use to the characters, their inflections and the storyline...it's all good.

If Shin Ha-kyun doesn't have the best smile...I don't know what actor does.

It's basically a 10 rating, but a few parts did drag and were implausible, yet it's a blockbuster!

Too bad that 99% of the American public that are on Netflix will pass by a lot of foreign films and series because they can't seem to read subtitles.

Really?

It takes nano-second to do, yet to read a subtitle for most is like a huge undertaking.

Too bad for them...they are missing some amazing films and series.

I don't know how to say this in the right words but this drama is a rare masterpiece and it would be a crime to miss it , first , the story, it is just beyond good the style is so cinematically deep ,dark and heart breaking in the most artistic way ever. The music, I actually consider it as one of the main characters in this drama because of how powerful and haunting the sound of it is and how it just makes the scene better if that is possible. And for the main dish ( the acting) iam sure if shin hakyun was an American actor this guy would have made all the important awards easily his, one of the best character and acting I have seen in years, also Jin goo is doing a great job playing han juwon a character that I won't forget his gaze for a long time . And for last we have THE CHEMISTRY I swear I didn't witness a chemistry like that since long years ago like !! Dong shik and juwon can just exist in the same place and their chemistry would be a burning fire , surely the one how picked them together is a genius. To conclude it would be a shame if this drama didn't get the popularity it deserves because I have a good eye for this and i can say with confidence that we won't get anything like it for a long time so don't miss it.

Acting, directing, script, music, camera movement are all top-notched. It is not an everyday detective story that just focus on catching the killer - the messages the drama brings out are very meaningful and are the major focus. Shin Ha Kyun and Yeo Jin Goo have a pretty big age gap there but that was exactly why the chemistry was so well - the contrast in terms of age, personality, approach to issues brings out so much sparks and chemistry between them. The acting is natural yet impactful. The supporting actors/actresses all deliver very well. Music gives me goosebumps. Heavy use of metaphors, hidden meanings and subtexts. Clues and leads are set out in a subtle manner throughout - there is no meaningless or useless scenes if you understand the story correctly. It is one of a kind indeed. Highly recommended.

Beyond Evil was a unique show to say the least. Full of fantastic acting performances and a really well written mystery with lots of red herrings and twists that keep you guessing. The soundtrack was also unique but fit the atmosphere of the show really well. The cinematography was dark, creepy, and perfect for the story. There was also a decent amount of character development that is usually lacking in these plot-heavy thrillers, so that was very rewarding. Overall this show is very well done and definitely worth a watch.

I think some people complained that the show should have ended sooner, and I don't want to spoil the mystery at all, so I will just say that I thought it ended perfectly and exactly when it should have by resolving the main conflict/mystery presented at the very beginning of the show.

This is a very good investigation drama . It is a little bit slow but it pays off at the end .

If you like thriller , detectives , twists and guessing you should see beyond evil !
