Beyond Evil - Unspoiled Review

The Story

 

Two skilled police detectives go to extreme measures to solve a series of serial killings in a small, otherwise quiet, town.  For Lee Dong Sik, the case is very personal, as it seems to connect back to the mysterious disappearance of his twin sister 20 years ago.  Han Joo Won recently transferred from Seoul and is partnered with Lee Dong Sik, who is hot headed and impulsive.  If they are going to succeed in catching the murderer, they will have to set aside any preconceived ideas about the killings and examine the hearts and minds of everyone involved in the case, including their own.

Should I Watch

 

Beyond Evil - Unspoiled Review

"Beyond Evil" is a smart, slow-burn  crime drama, so if any of those words scare you, you should probably just skip this one. Similar in style to other crime dramas like "Stranger", "Beyond Evil" depends more on the psychological elements of detective work, rather than the action, so if you are looking for something fast-paced and exciting, this is not your drama.  The plot is complex and purposefully misleading at times, so you should be prepared to spend at least a little time going "Wait.  What just happened?".  It's all part of the ride!  The cast of "Beyond Evil" is amazing. The chemistry between the leads and strong character development were the drama's greatest strengths.    Although the theme revolves around a series of murders, the drama manages  to be thrilling without being overly dark or violent.   I give "Beyond Evil" a 10 out of 10 ramen.
