But he has not given up on solving the mystery of his sister's death. He might seem aloof but inside he is caring and kind. Yeo Jin Goo plays a young police officer who is senior in position and is the son of high-ranking police personnel who is a national figure.

Twists and turns 

Beyond Evil is a psychological thriller and hence comes with a lot of mysteries in the plot. Many a time the story turns towards a direction which might have been hard to predict and speculate. One might think that a drama like this would follow a certain pattern but it defies most rules and plays with the minds of the viewers which makes it hard to predict who is the actual murderer. The audience starts to question each character and their motives and suspecting whether they can be the actual murderers. 

Multi-layered writing

The mystery drama does not just focus on the serial murder case. It carefully explores the relationship between the characters and builds on it. Each character has a reason for being a certain way and why they say and do things. Everyone has a backstory which shapes their narratives. The story also jumps back and forth in time to give a more holistic view. It slowly detangles all the webs and uncovers the truth. Moreover, there are several heartfelt and emotional moments and the drama doesn't just provide a thrill. 

 


Acting

Yeo Jin Goo, Shin Ha Kyun, Kim Shin Rok, Choi Sung Eun and Choi Dae Hoon took on the main roles in the drama. All the actors do justice to the roles that they played. Shin Ha Kyun was very believable as the police officer who has been wronged all through his life and a part of his humanity goes missing. Yeo Jin Goo plays the elite police officer who is a misfit in the small town. They have sour feelings towards one another until the very end but decide to work together to catch the culprit.
