Flawed but tender
Beyond Evil is a stunning slow boil thriller that ekes out tension of every possibility until what remains is endless ache. I still don't like the awful ableism of the show, which the show insists upon even in the last episode. And I definitely do not like cops, but the show doesn't like them either. Proceed with caution. Shin Hakyun and Yeo Jingoo have excellent chemistry and gave great performances that made me dive into their filmographies. Score is unusually warm and jazzy for a mystery show (and god I hate that BIBI song, it's extremely grating) but works well since the show is actually a melodrama more in line with something like Magnolia (1999) (a film Shin Hakyun loves, or at the very least likes as far as public knowledge goes). Formally excellent but falters in its imagination occasionally. I have brainrot for Juwon and Dongsik for days. More please?
