the setting is simply unique and unforgettable, it's almost a mixture between the world of fairy tales and the fantasy/futuristic one. The soundtrack of this game are together with the atmosphere and setting the most wonderful thing in this game, in fact this work is composed in my opinion by the best soundtrack I've ever heard in a video game, a soundtrack composed by unique tracks able to convey unique and indelible emotions to the player. Because of the love I feel for this game, it is difficult for me to write a review trying to express all the immense qualities that this game contains. I consider this game as the most underrated game in game history. Let's start from the premise that I can say with confidence that yes! Beyond good & Evil is my absolute favourite video game without a shadow of a doubt. This is a unique work of art, a game that can touch your soul like no other. It’s worth trying to watch.This game is something poetic, something wonderful and fascinating, something difficult to explain in simple words. I think this honestly might be one of the best dramas of 2021, to be quite frank. It’s brilliant, I think, at the end of the day, making this a must-watch Korean drama. We’re forced to focus away from the driving forces of the plot and the mystery to solve why the characters are acting the way they are and especially to each other. Shin Ha-kyun’s character, for example, is literally traumatized by what happened in his past. It’s a show where you’re forced to look at all of the characters beyond what they’ve done and understand the psychological impacts behind what is going on.
This isn’t a drama where you want to find out who exactly did all of this. The title Beyond Evil is very appropriate the Korean title of Monster is equally appropiate. I really liked the casting of the main leads because of this. You could tell they were only tolerating each other at first because of the fact they were placed as partners, but as the story evolves and becomes more twisted, we can see how this relationship, too, begins to twist and develop. The acting was insanely good because the dynamic between Shin Ha-kyun’s and Yeo Jin-gu’s characters was seriously good. It is then something along the lines of “You may be an outsider, but you’ve riled up the people who are stuck here.” Joo-won is rich and an outsider, and as a detective with his own particular motives in coming here, has stirred up the normalcy in an already abnormal small town. At one point, as the butcher shop is being investigated as a possible scene of a crime, the owner throws eggs and Joo-won. Something that really, really stuck out to me was how small-town all of this was. Our lead played by Yeo Jin-gu seems like a stuck-up asshole, but as we venture further into the narrative and more things begin to be revealed to us as viewers, we see how this is isn’t exactly the case. Shin Ha-kyun is insanely good at playing characters who seem a bit unstable at the surface, but are actually extremely complicated when you look deeper at them as a person. The shadows that climbed the character’s faces, the way they interacted with each other and the scenery was too quiet around, and the music itself were all great characteristics that added to the cinematic atmosphere of the drama.Īt the beginning of this drama, you really hate both of the main characters to be honest. The ambiance in this show also is really great. We get our twists, and while it is quite slow in the beginning, it slowly all begins to make sense and it’s so, so satisfying.
I hate when romance is needlessly thrown into things, and this was a drama I felt satisfied with. This is a true police drama, and I absolutely loved that it had little to no romance incorporated in it.
Both our main characters have major demons going on in their heads and their pasts, which complicates the story even more. Now, with the arrival of Han Joo-won, things seem to become abnormal again and girls are going missing.
BEYOND EVIL RATING SERIAL
Lee Dong-sik is the twin brother of one of the girls who was murdered in the original serial killings twenty years before the start of the drama, and was the main suspect. Our two main characters are Lee Dong-sik (played by Shin Ha-kyun), an older policeman who was demoted from his original detective position, and Han Joo-won (Yeo Jin-gu), who is the son of the incoming police commissioner in Seoul and is high-ranking despite his young age. This drama is set around a small town in Gyeonggi-do in which there were serial killings.
