It's gotta be Shin Ha Kyun's who's the monster. He looks evil.. but he's going to chase a pyscho killer. Maybe Yeo Jin Goo is alos evil hinding something pyscho.. maybe to avenge something. Maybe  red herring character?

 

It feels like that's what the drama wants us to think: that Shin Ha Kyung is the bad guy.  His styling, make-up hair and all the promo material make him look creepy and sly  but I think it might be a role reversal and golden boy Yeo jin Goo's character will have the darkest secrets.

 

Thanks @backstreetboysfan @Jillia I don't know if I will even watch this drama but the new posters are excellent

@raziela exactly my thoughts. There's this  "joker" like photo still of SHK very creepy but me thinks murder that happened  before will have connection to YJG character.  Ha. Apparently I watch too many of  kdrama to come up with that thought.

 

I hope this will be a good pyschotic thriller. We also have the other psycho drama "Mouse". This drama seems to be more of mental pyscho drama. while 'Mouse'  could be more of pyscho thriller chase.  Well we love kdramas so we gonna watch both. I know I will.

I'm still not sure if I will watch this as I'm not usually a big watcher of this genre.  However, the teasers for the drama have intrigued me so far.  I noticed Mouse has the similar psychological thriller themes but the teasers and synopsis for haven't really grabbed my interest so far.

I hope both will not disappoint. I like pyscho thrillers and  myster suspense action genre.

 

Btw, I said  previous post, SHK character may be the monster of the two, I say it's likely YJG character. Hmm. What do you think? Lets watch  the premiere and see.

In  the usa, I found it will air on ODK. The trailer on the website isn't subbed, so I think ODK will not be subbing it. I'll wait till it turn up on Netflix later in the year. At this moment, where I'm at, it's still February 18th. I'm guessing it's not going to air for another - minimum 15 hours.

Yeo Jin-gu, Shin Ha-kyun team up for 'Beyond Evil,' reminiscent of retro thriller 'Memories of Murder'

Actors Yeo Jin-gu and Shin Ha-kyun are set to show off their intense chemistry in the new crime thriller series, "Beyond Evil."

 

Led by director Shim Na-yeon, whose work includes the teen series, "At Eighteen," the new series revolves around two detectives ― Yeo and Shin ― trying to solve a serial murder case in a small town. It was written by Kim Soo-jin, who also scripted the crime thriller series, "Mad Dog."

 

"There are a lot of thriller genre works, so the audiences now have a higher standard (on that genre)…What makes this series different is that it has local feelings…a retro sensibility, as in the style of 'Memories of Murder' (by director Bong Joon-ho)," the director said during an online media conference for the series, Thursday.

 

"And Shin and Yeo's rendezvous completes the picture, orchestrating the tone of the series to be that of a unique genre."

Shin plays rowdy police sergeant Lee Dong-sik, who used to be a skilled detective in Seoul. He is now stationed at a countryside police precinct in the fictional town, Manyang, where he encounters a murder linked to an unsolved case from 20 years ago that had changed his life.

 

Describing Dong-sik as the one "who becomes the monster to take down the monsters," Shin said the complexity of the character inspired him to take the role.

 

"(When I read the script,) I became more and more curious about Dong-sik...He seems tough, but deep down he's actually not," Shin said. "I feel bad about how the direction of his life was predetermined by someone else."

 

He added that it was especially difficult to express the storms of emotions the character has. "I have been contemplating how I could distinguish through my acting the struggles, pain, and sorrow that he keeps inside," he said. "It has and will be difficult until the end."

On the other hand, Yeo described his character, Han Joo-won, as a person who is trying hard "not to become one of the monsters."

 

Joo-won is an elite detective who has been transferred to the precinct. He teams up with Dong-sik to discover the truth behind the murder cases and to reveal the secrets among the small-town residents.

 

"He fights his own battle not to cross the 'line.' He constantly faces questions whether he can stay away from that, as he digs deeper into the cases," Yeo said. "He has always been more of a brain when it comes to solving a crime. So after coming to Manyang, he faces the tough real world and gains experience."

 

Shim emphasized the importance of having Yeo and Shin as the lead actors. "When I work on a project, the most important part is the actors. And (for this series,) I thought to myself, 'it has to be the actors I want. And only then, can I pull off what I wanted to express," she said. "The writers and I agreed on these two actors and waited for their casting. So I was so happy when they came on board."

This is not the first time that the two actors have worked together. Their first time costarring dates back to 2006 when Yeo played the young version of Shin's character in the action comedy film, "No Mercy for the Rude."

 

"I was nine when I worked on that film with Shin," Yeo said, adding that he made a brief appearance. "I ran into Shin on a set. When we were talking, I told him that I want to work together with him. And after a year later, the wish came true."

 

Shin recalled working on the film together, referring to Yeo as "Little Boy."

 

"He has grown so much…If I knew he would grow up to be this handsome, I would have had someone else play the younger version of me," he said as he laughed. "The character, Joo-won, is very difficult because he is an observer. But I feel proud of Yeo, seeing how well he's getting into the character. We make a good ensemble."

 

Shin added, smiling: "He's so gentle, but when the camera's on, he gives me a death stare."

 

Shim said that the purpose of this series is to show that "everyone can be evil."

 

"The main emphasis that I put as the director is that each character in this series can possibly be the evil," she said, adding that "selfishness" is the story's keyword. "It would be interesting (for the audiences) to watch it with this question on their mind: "How selfish can a person be?"

 

"Beyond Evil" goes on air on Friday.
