That last gif though....

[agenth 1,100]

I really do love the casting of Lee Do-Hyun as Shin Ha Kyun's younger part. At first I don't see it, but yes that last gif, that smirk. 

 

While SHK's smile is the best part, I do enjoy this series so far. It has me on the edge of my seat, and every character has my interest - because I don't know who the serial killer is. This has a lot of potential.

@agenth

Lee Do Hyun did a great job to channel the young version of Lee Dong Shik.

[jongski 39,232]

She smiled. Obviously it's some she knows. She knows the killer. If it's not Dong Sik. It's someone Dong Sik would  knows.

 

cr:

 

And Min Jung knows them. Everyone in that town knows something and not saying anything.

 

 

Question is.. where is Yu Yeon. She disappeared. A teenager Dong Sik even told police  YY always used a  balsam on her nails.

 

As for Ju Won.. if there's a monster inside of him..

 

he was explaining how  the killer would have done in it. The copycat killer

I so agree, it is obviously it's someone she knows nod.

[rocher22 15,114]

I love YJG in this role...perfect...

 

 

It seemed to me that YY was going to met someone she likes because of the way she fixed her hair..

New dramas premiered but the one that stands out is Beyond Evil.

 

From execution, excellent acting, cinematography, even the music. All these at stil just episode two. Yes this is pyschological murder myster but the visual, cinematography was not forgotten. It's creepy and eerie. The use of fields gives that eerie goodness of pyscho murder drama.

 

 

 

 

The quest to find out who is the Monster.

 

Spoiler

 

The flower guy.. aka dopted son or....

 

 

If it's a woma's hand....

 

 

It's possible.....

Ju Won openly asked Dong Sik if hi was a killer. That was unexpected.

[wasted_youth 8,051]

There's a few possibilities.

- a copycat. The one who killed years ago and the one from the recent cases  are two different people. 

- MJ knew the killer, so probably someone that has been introduced to us? Is it YJY the butcher? Park Jung Je? 

- Yu Yeon's disappearance. And is she really innocent?

- if DS is indeed the killer in the past, I'm really curious how the writer is going to do it. 

 

I don't think they will take the DID route.

I was able to watch the first episode again on my way to work today and I'm almost halfway through with the 2nd episode. I have to say I'm so intrigued. Already after watching the episodes for the first time I thought that this is one of those dramas which could be easily on Netflix and attract lots of international viewers. It's not a new plot but the way it's told is nicely done.

shin ha kyun is all messy sexy like he's always been.. 

[backstreetboysfan 5,940]

BTS (Making of) video Episode 1!

 

 

[jongski 39,232]

 

The least you expect. The nicest one always turns out to be the one.

 

But then.. the guitar pick of Dong Sik was found near near the victim. I'm thinking, Dong sik heard the screams? drop the guitar pick trying to run to save the girl or trying to flee the evil monster.. whoever is the killer. Or trying to run after the kill.

Well... well... the ending of episode 2 got me:

[confusedheart326 885]

This was fantastic! Mind blowing! And that amazing cinematography. Not to mention the really creepy ML Dong Sik! I cannot figure him out yet. Is he an eccentric genius or a complete nutcase / psycho. Tremendously enjoying the drama. Congratulations to the entire team! Looking forward to the story.

 

This kind of reminds me of When Camilla Blooms... the cinematography was great then. But they lost the plot a little. The thriller/ mystery was kind of disappointing. Perhaps it was also a love story.  Hopefully, we don't get diverted here.

 

P.S. I don't think DS is a psycho/ serial killer. Just a gut feeling.

 

 

[jongski 39,232]

My current favorite. Top notch acting. Well executed.

The bgm and visuals of the scenes and of the town.

The fields. The eerines. One of them is beyond evil.

 

 

We're being treated excellent acting.

 

 

 

 

[partyon 51,031]

Anyone else who is hoping that it would turn out that Dong Sik is a killer....:?

 

I can't recall a Korean drama where we would have found out that the lead in the end turned out to be a bad guy. Like a really bad guy.
It would be refreshing for the drama to dare to go down that route.

 

I had high hopes for Flower of Evil, but no.

 

Some of the most memorable movies for me have been the ones where you were rooting for the main character the whole time and in the last scenes, we found out that he/she actually was the villain.

 

I'm talking about movies like:

 

SPOILER

Spoiler

A Kevin Spacey movie

 

SPOILER

Spoiler

The Usual Suspects when it's revealed that Keyser Soze was the real baddie .
I have to admit that there was a clue he was faking his arm deformity quite early on and I happened to spot it so the surprise factor wasn't as big as I had hoped

 

A Kevin Costner movie

SPOILER

Spoiler

No Way Out - it was revealed he was a double agent in almost the last scene....

This reveal came out of the blue - so unexpected....

I do hope it goes that way, but, I don't think it will go that way. The town is small, and as @jongski pointed out, the way Min Jung smiled, it looked like she knew that person. Anyway, as I said, the town is small, and we have seen most of the major characters, so it definitely is someone from the group. 

 

Same as you, I had high hopes for FOE, and would have been less disappointed, if the ML was shown to be a bit evil, and not completely the good guy, and I feel like here there is a chance we face the same scenario. But as I said, for now the writers have kept things in a way that it could go the other way. Dong Shik is too good and kind to others, that it might make us and the characters in drama doubt that he is the killer, or at least want him to be not, and would love it if they show him to be the killer. 

 

But as for now, I don't think he is the killer. My doubts are on Park Jung Je and Yoo Jae Yi. I would actually love it, if Jae Yi is the killer, since I don't remember if Kdramas had female serial killer, Criminal minds did have, so did Tunnel and Signal, but they were villains of the side stories, and not the main villain and ultimate baddie. Park Jung Je well, is acting suspicious too, at least the way he is, and smiles all the time.

And don't forget the adopt son.. aka flower boy Jin Mook.

 

Dong Sik must have done something beyond evil  not to his sister but maybe in the quest to find the killer

or Ha Ju Won will be prompted to do something beyond evil.. I mean he said he "hates touching hands". He has a thing for cleanlines. So I want to see something  shocking with Dong Sik or Ha Ju Won. One of them beyond evil

.

Our two male leads serving  acting! Their character  always confronting each other. Its terrific to see their exchange.

‘Beyond Evil’: Let’s Review the Hints from the First Two Episodes

 

by krishkim | images: JTBC

 

 

JTBC’s Beyond Evil is receiving favorable reviews for its delicate production that captures the character’s complex emotions, well-structured script, and actors’ enthusiastic performances. Beyond Evil is a mystery thriller about a detailed psychological warfare between police officer Lee Dong Sik (Shin Ha Kyun) and elite detective Han Joo Won (Yeoh Jin Goo) as they chase after a murder similar to an unsolved case 20 years ago, and the intertwined stories of people around them. Before we start tracking the truth in earnest, we will review the hints given to us in the first two episodes. 

 

 

Shocking ending in episode 2. The murderer is Shin Ha Kyun?!

 

 

The very beginning of the incident dates back to that day 20 years ago when Lee Dong Sik was a 20-year-old man. An employee of Dong Sik’s favorite cafe is found dead, and the younger sister of twins disappeared without a trace, only leaving 10 fingers behind. And Dong Sik was picked out as a prime suspect when his guitar pick was found by the dead body. What happened to Lee Dong Sik that day? In addition, viewers fell in shock when Lee Dong Sik was seen putting down the severed fingers, believed to be those of Kang Min Jung, who he cherished like his own nephew, as if he were putting them on display in front of a market. From his considerate side of taking care of his neighbors to being branded a prime suspect of cold cases from 20 years ago, and to the recent Kang Min Jung case, his unpredictable bizarre behavior has thrown viewers into the world of chaos.

 

 

Double-sidedness of elite detective Yeo Jin Goo

 

 

After Han Joo Won was sent to Manyang, a skeleton of a body that was murdered the same way from the 20 years old murder case was found. And the body was identified as Lee Geum Hwa, who Han used as bait in his sting operation. The body was found as if the killer knew when Han would come to Manyang. Even after realizing that the victim is Lee Geum Hwa, Han decided to keep the knowledge to himself. He, who snapped at Lee Dong Sik,  shows a double-sidedness to the death of a woman he has put in danger. Why is he after this case, and how is he connected to Lee Geum Hwa’s death?

 

 

Shady characters

 

Spoiler

 

To Han Joo Won, who questions the whereabouts of the missing report from 20 years ago, Park Jung Je of the Moonju Police Station only gives vain excuses. There is no way to know his thoughts as he continued to doubt and defend his friend Lee Dong Sik. Chief constable Nam Sang Bae put the brakes on Han Joo Won, who is chasing the case from 20 years ago. Nam is the one who branded 20-year-old Lee Dong Sik as the prime suspect of the murder case, and the sight of him silencing Han when he questions the relationship between the two only raises more questions. On top of that, Han Joo Won’s father, Han Ki Hwan, who stopped investigating the case 20 years ago, and councilor Do Hae Won, who was bent on developing a new city under the catchphrase “City without Crime,” also showed unusual presence.

 

The production team shared, “The twist involving Lee Dong Sik is just a beginning. The compelling chase after the truth where no one can be trusted will be unfolded in earnest. Please wait and see what the incident that shook Manyang with the same method as 20 years ago means and whether Lee Dong Sik is the real culprit.”
