Beyond Evil Live Blogging

Starting this instead of uhh doing some homework between my uni classes. I actually probably shouldn’t start this and should just watch something short like She Makes My Heart Flutter instead bc I won’t have the opportunity to watch any eps tmrw and it seems like this show might be difficult to wait to watch but oh well whelp the plans got cancelled due to weather so i suppose i do have time tomorrow

Ep 1: It Appears - 나타나다 (Feb 2)

a rotting corpse (?) in the first minute ah fuck i’m guessing they’re gonna show how we got here

oh 2000? i thought it was present day or is it showing old time after showing future

Dongshik is an older twin of Yoo Yeon by a minute. Is Dongshik a main character ir someone who’s boutta die? it seems like a familiar name in this show’s context

a flip phone

wait is that Lee Do Hyun or just looks like him? okay I checked MDL and it indeed is Do Hyun! ayyy he only seems to appear in like 4 eps but still cool because after being introduced to him in 18 Again, I haven’t wanted to watch anything else he’s been in

damn Dongshik really just called the older girl by name, somehow I’m also irritated on behalf of her lol If my sister calls me by my name during an argument I acc would be flabbergasted

oh Dongshik kinda scary

oh is Yoo Yeon gonna die instead of Dongshik? also they really keep focusing on her red stone ring

girl these viki ads are killing me on my ipad like wtf is 40 second diaper ad and then a 15 sec bedwetting ad

oh the Bang Joo Seon noona that Dongshik was angry at irl also dead and her hands are clutched in the same way as the corpse that we saw at the beginning umm also are her hands missing fingers? i did see a spoiler about there being severed fingers in this show

yep severed fingers akhdjajabs - I realize that was Yeo Yoon’s mother

20 years later October 2020 ah

missing college female student from Munju hmm so not all the bodies were found, is this what they find later on from the beginning scene?

oh omg Yeo Yoon’s family got the fingers but she’s missing whereas we saw Bang Joo Seon’s body with missing fingers and I’m assuming her body was found? and so Yeo Yoon’s brother has been searching for her - if that old man shaving is Dongshik

please not these old ladies fighting and Dongshik in the crossfire

plsss okay I wasn’t expecting it to suddenly become funny but “Dongshik’s gauge has boiled over” so he’s tryna make a case against the women while all the other cops are like let it goooooo and tryna get him to back down and calm the women lmfao

oh lol one of the women did mention that another is married to a sergeant

Lieutenant Han Joo Won - 27 years oldgainst

Dongshik have something against Joo Won’s dad

Jae Yi so pretty

who is Officier Oh actor he’s cute I like his dimples also he looks slightly familiar

ah it’s hard to remember everyone’s names. the crime squad woman’s name is Ji Hwa or something and the other guy in the room i forgot his name

wait so Dongshik did the case thing so that the women don’t get in trouble with the money or something bc the owner was doing something with him outsiders as well or something idk i only kinda really get it

man this Oh Jihoon character so endearing

did Joo Won do something bad and get sent here as punishment?

lol their first proper encounter and Joo Won very standoffish

(Bromance) lmfao I already get why people are into Dongshik/Joo Won because 1) Dongshik was previously like Joo Won’s not my type 2) Joo Won’s rude to Dongshik and 3) to get over their hatred for each other, they’re forcibly made to team up

fuck I forgot - Dongshik is a sergeant or lietenant?

so it’s like Dongshik’s “thing” that he has a really good memory, about the law and situations and people

nooooo Joo Seon’s dad is 79 and old and has dementia and is still waiting for her in the reed fields T.T

It’s interesting to see all the young cops kinda do favours for and want Joo Won’s attention while the two oldest (the Chief and Dongshik) are unimpressed by his status and arrogancy

Ji Hwa’s just got such a cool vibe to her

Dongshik playing a “joke” on Joo Won saying he killed that family’s daughter the maknae but he probably really does feel that?

ohh Joo Won’s got some history of discoveering the dead bodies similar to Joo Seon’s body and also some knowledge of Dongshik

So Joo Won knows: Dongshik was a Lieutenant in Regional Investigation, then got demoted to sergeant after his partner died and he couldn’t explain it, and also was a suspect of the 2 murders 2 decades ago. So I guess Joo Won took Dongshik’s joke of killing Joo Seon more seriously than he would’ve otherwise - is Joo Won suspicious of Dongshik?

ah Dongshik still has the posters of missing Yoo Yeon put up, though she’d look 2 decades older than her photos now lol

became morning to night in a few minutes drive heh

oh damn we’re getting the very first scene at the end of the first ep; i was wondering if it’d be like Strangers From Hell where we get the first scene in the last ep

Dongshik looking at the hands (with Yoo Yeon’s ring?) and Joo Won looking at Dongshik - gauging his reaction?

oh it’s a different ring that Joo Won knows the owner of

damn Dongshik’s creepy smile - I don’t think Yoo Yeon actually killed her based on his reaction to the corpse and wondering if it’s his sister and also just cuz he’s the main character

Also I avoided nearly all spoilers so far before starting the show except that people love the bromance and it’s about tracking down some serial killer and it’s pretty dark but two mins before I started watching I found out that apparently a father kills his own daughter - that’s scary. also hopefully not too much of a spoiler that gives something away?

Ep 2: To Disappear - 사라지다 (Feb 2)

The bodies have their feet wrapped

There was proof that it was Dongshik who killed Joo Seon at the crime scene? a guitar pick?

(Bromance) “Do you like me that much? You even did a background check on me.”

oh interesting, the Chief’s like Dongshik’s doing all this and giving his testimony now so that later on, when/if they ask him about anything again, he’ll just say he already did it and ask if they have a warrant

insane scene at the beef broth restaurant - so I guess the general public continue to think Yoo Yeon was killed by her brother?

when I was reading the ep 1 thoughts on reddit’s on-air thread of ep 1 and 2, someone mentioned they think the supermarket owner did it and had a ton of upvotes - which makes me think it’s true and people upvoted it after it was revealed. but if so, then they made the character who stutters a murderer?

Min Jeong the supermarket owner’s daughter isn’t coming home. based on the spoiler that a father kills his daughter + the theory that the supermarket owner is the murderer...

Is she the mayor or something? also she reminds me of the mom from Midnight (After looking up on MDL, yes she is. 2 actors I didn’t know were in here but I managed to recognize; her and Lee Do Hyun)

Park Jeong Je - is the this guy from Jae Yi’s restaurant that I couldn’t remember the name or face of? Oh I see, yes it’s him. the chief said he was part of the Munju police and the son of the Munju City councilwoman - so I guess she’s his mom

(Bromance) lmfao wtf this scene where they help the guy in the rain and Joo Won starts being nicer after seeing Dongshik be kind and then this slow-mo of Joo Won staring at smiling Dongshik

I should start tagging things like (Bromance) to find these things again

So Joo Won’s dad was the chief at Manyang 20 years ago and closed this case. lol Joo Won tryna do what idk throw off his dad or something but instead gave him an idea about how to close this case too with the mentions of a copycat. Although, he did know the dead girl, I wonder if some of what he said was true like with the bait and stuff

“The day her identity is revealed, you and I both die” wtf did Joo Won and his dad do/hide?

(Confusion) Wait, what were the timelines? Bang Joo Seon was killed a year before Yoo Yeon’s disappearance? They seemed from the same night?

The Nam Sang Bae chief currently was the detective of Yoo Yeon’s disappearance case back then

ah yeah, Dongshik’s really feels for people who go ‘missing’ like Joo Seon’s father with dementia and the lost in the rain guy. +Min Jeong who runs away/goes missing occasionally

damn, Dongshik’s father froze to death while waiting for Yoo Yeon to come home

Dongshik’s right upper leg hurts sometimes, is it from when his partner at the Regional Investigation Unit died?

Joo Won was investigating ‘an illegal immigrant who only killed women.’

Wild that Joo Won just knows the identity of the recently found dead body but won’t say so

okay whew Kang Min Jeong isn’t dead (yet?)

omg I recognize 3 people. Min Jeong is True Beauty Im Jugyeong’s short haired friend whose name I can’t remember - not Kang Soo jin. Oh it’s Choi Soo Ah/Sua

ah so the supermarket’s owner was an orphan raised by Dongshik’s parents and also helped him open the supermarket - so that’s why he spoke like that at the hospital calling her Eomma and stuff. Min Jeong is like Dongshik’s niece kinda

wait a minute... okay if the supermarket owner is the killer and his daughter’s mother/woman he loved left 20 years ago... well did he make her disappear?

Dongshik knows Joo Won suspects him of the murder(s) and loves working him up about it and acting as if he did it

ah fuck okay Min Jeong seemed happy when she saw who it was, so possibly it’s her supermarket owner father? how long ago was she captured and when did everybody gather around for the meat? would there have been enough time/would the show even care about that

insane shot from Min Jeong to the meat cutting

did Dongshik see something? or like what happened? Why is he acting so shaken? Does he just have some instinct that Min Jeong got fucked up?

So did Dongshik take the files of Yoo Yeon/Soo Jeon?

Joo Won isn’t here while they’re having dinner. Min Jeong’s father is though

(Bromance) Joo Won wants to move to the street and neighbourhood as Dongshik because he suspects him lol they keep asking “What is it about me that you like so much?”

wait what, Dongshik placed Min Jeong’s fingers on the stone? Is this his imagination? Also, was he wearing leather shoes when showing this ending scene the way Jeong Je mentioned when he’d gone to his house?

Someone on the on-air thread linked to their twitter thread that Dongshik found the fingers elsewhere and brought them there because he’d be the suspect otherwise - this seems plausible. Another person said he wasn’t the killer 20 years ago but maybe is the copycat killer now to get the attention back on this cast - not impossible but hmm. Someone mentioned the Joo Won might actually be trying to uncover something his father did here rather than only being here for Dongshik, which would make sense because that seems like their dynamic and they allude to them both or the father having done something bad.

Ep 3: Smile (lit: to laugh) - 웃다 (Feb 3)

Ah everybody in the town sad for Min Jeong

Dongshik doing something to the documents hmmm what and why shouldn’t Jeong Je be there when he does it? Also, Jeong Je also questioning Dongshik - despite the family vibes full of trust, there’s still suspicion from some people

Joo Won’s right that it’s interesting that people cope for Dongshik so hard when he used to be a suspect and is a running thread among many of the murder/disappearances - acting as if they’re a “family” instead of witnesses/suspects/whatever. There’s something fishy about the current chief (past detective on the case) as well

Joo Won a dumbass if he didn’t see Dongshik turning around and providing the same doubts about Joo Won; such as where are his alibis during the time Min Jeong disappeared? He also came around the time the body was found. He’s also a cop and knows things outsiders wouldn’t know. Just like Dongshik, he was there when both the body skeleton (who he knows the identity of) and the fingers were discovered

“Han Joo Won, you act rational and practical yet so emotional and thoughtless. Can’t you tell that psycho is a hundred times more rational than you?” - his dad

Joo Won wants CCTV from in front of the archives basement

Dongshik putting up a camera in his basement and cleaning it + there being some blood uh

scene at 20mins where

i’m gonna fucking die why the fucking fuck did my comments of the next 10 mins disappear

(Fave) scene at 20mins where Dongshik’s talking about mistaking someone for Yoo Yeon, her being dead for sure, the fucker not letting anybody find Min Jeong’s body, etc

Jeong Je is a bit suspicious of Dongshik now and Ji Hwa’s wondering if he was suspicious of Dongshik back then. she’s saying she’s never been suspicious of Dongshik

Woman with the ring who was killed was doing something for Joo Won (’go for a massage’) and texted him 1s the the day she died, meaning she met Dongshik

ah Dongshik did return the two girls’ case files

Jeong Je being accused of being an accomplice of Dongshik - brining back memories of back then when he was Dongshik’s alibi. oh did Jeong Je come forward as the alibi way later after people were convinced Dongshik was the prime suspect? That’s why the detective reacted like that + Ji Hwa asked why it took Jeong Je so long to come

oh damn the detective didn’t have enough evidence back then but literally beat Dongshik to get a confession? Did dongshik confess or was it an attempt?

ah they found the burner phone that the woman with the ring used to text Joo Won 1s but why did it have Min Jeong’s scent

the assistant Kwon guy who hangs off of Joo Won’s father and gave Joo Won some files in ep 1 seems so smarmy

4th person I recognize: Squid Game gangster mans

the DNA of the woman came out in that phone, as expected

I don’t even get what the solo sting that Joo Won was doing is and why the suspect for that was also Dongshik.

Joo Won’s team was investigating illegal immigrants of massage parlours - ah so it was literally ‘send 1 if dongshik is a customer of a massage’

Also what exactly is the issue with Joo Won’s investigation that he wanted to find something from this solo sting operation and triumph vs why him now apparently knowing her would be such a problem. like is it because he knew she was an illegal immigrant massage giver but didn’t make anybody else aware or whatever?

Joo Won’s seemingly becoming more unstable and losing control of his emotions

so the phone wasn't in the reed fields where her body was found?

on the day that the woman with the ring died and sent 1s after seeing Dongshik, he was seen on the dashcam where near where said phone was found

damn, Joo Won fr just searching Dongshik’s basement and Dongshik can see it because he has a camera there

bruv, what even happened - Ji Hwa’s here to arrest Dongshik for kidnapping and murdering Min Jeong

also lol funny that Joo Won was just breaking into Dongshik’s house but can just get out all casually and leave without raising suspicion among all the cops there (or was he the one who called them in? like how’d they find out?)

I see on reddit that there’s the theory that someone had actually left the fingers on Dongshik’s basement table with the blood and so he set up the cameras etc and other stuff to get people to actually investigate the murder, even if he’s the one who’s seemingly at fault at first?

I don’t know what exactly is going on but it seems like Dongshik knows something that other people don’t and also that he’s planning something like he literally put up the camera, cleaned but left that specific drop of blood untouched, didn’t stop joo won from investigating his basement, etc

Ep 4: To Cry - 울다 (Feb 3)

Dongshik throwing off his blanket was expected, I’d half expected him to just make a run for it when just one guy was transferring him from the car lol

so it wasn’t blood on Dongshik’s table? or was it that there’s only that speck of blood and absolutely nothing else?

my goodness this ramen talk is killing me

oh so Dongshik went to the mountain just the other day, not around the day of when the woman with the ring was killed - I didn’t catch the date of the video but I certainly should have

Jae Yi’s flashbacks to this butchershop and something about her mother running away? while the cops search and investigate that place currently

bro I hope no Joo Won/Jae Yi romance plot appears - I’m just nervous whenever a woman and man of similar age interact in these shows even though this interaction was full of anger and it didn’t lean towards any romantic angle

Joo Won funny as hell for acting all “oh you must be living an easy life” with Jae Yi, so it was satisfying to see Joo Won get that thrown back to him with both her and the chief

actually i’m not super against Jae Yi and Oh Jihoon though, they’re cute

damn Jihoon’s “you provoked them” with the harsh expression no smile

Han Jeong Im hmm 52, missing would that be Jae Yi’s mom I don’t know their surnames though

Kwon’s really gonna come to fuck up Joo Won at some crucial time isn’t e lol not that Joo Won really needs help fucking up thus far. He’s got gusto and he’s got connections, so he can get his dad to push for an arrest without his dad, and get Kwon to grant the confiscation warrant; he’s decided the culprit without enough proof and instead of gathering proof himself slowly, he’s escalating everything

(Bromance) lmfao at 28 mins when Joo won goes to Dongshik’s cell and he’s like “왜 이렇게 늦었어? 파트넌데.” straight up reminded me of “Hong Dae Young, 왜 이제 왔어? 기다렸잖아” from 18 Again

ah okay they heavily hinted at this before but I was like hmm what’s he planning but I guess when they said bait, they really did mean Joo Won really did sent the woman with the ring as a bait/trap to see if he’d be killed; specifically whether Dongshik would kill her

Okay if we’re assuming based on spoilers that it really is the supermarket owner Jin Mook who is Min Jeong’s father and adopted brother of Dongshik: does Dongshik suspect him? Know that it’s him? latter probably not but maybe former? He seems suspicious of Jin Mook when he’s around their mother though but he seems touched by the beef now? with Jin Mook visiting him?

Did Park Jeong Je really confess to doing the same thing now as he did 20 years ago? Back then, he’d said he had drunk with Dongshik till dawn and now he’s also saying Dongshik was with him the night Min Jeong went missing

but this could count for like 20 mins when he was at Dongshik’s home right? so he’s lying this time that he slept at Dongshik’s home... but the next morning Joo Won was there to see Dongshik leave his house, won’t he be like hmm I didn’t see Jeong Je there

So does that mean Jeong Je also lied when he said that he and Dongshik were drinking together that night? And he in fact hadn’t been with Dongshik? these small towns where everybody’s so involved with each other is just wild

why’s all this happening just a few hours before 48, just hold Dongshik for 48 hours and continue on tf - cover the bases in case he’s the culprit but also don’t twist things to keep him after 48 hours

construction company CEO: development might be halted like 20 years ago with these murder cases and he’ll face huge loss; council woman: wants to become mayor and these crimes and possible cancellation of redevelopment hurts her chances; Joo Won’s father: Joo Won’s wrapped up in this murder case with the phone

Joo Won seeing Dongshik and Jeong Je walk off, who he suspected were accomplices; did he hear Dongshik say that Jeong Je lied or was he too far away?

was that Seventeen on Knowing Bros on the TV?

ah the construction ceo really is smearing min jeong on the TV. sucks that people’s sympathy and well wishes for a missing and likely murdered girl goes down if they find out she parties and was possibly a sex worker and that this defamation is a tactic that they can use

Joo Won really isn’t thinking or what? why’d you go in and accuse Dongshik again and also pull out your gun

damn mans is having a panic attack

oh why did Oh Jihoon release the info about the arrest without warrant; is he with or against Dongshik; what did he see the night Min Jeong disappeared because he saw her walking but toward what we can’t see

bro Joo Won is king of escalating things fr - he’s talking to reporters but I guess that’s good? now people will be forced to connect these and less likely to be swayed by “oh the missing girl was a slut and a whore so who cares if she’s dead” and the cops will be forced to investigate rather than just shut them down like they did 20 years ago?

Dongshik is probably glad that the connections of the murders and the case is all known to the public now, right? If his plan had been to draw attention to the whole thing so that it’s forced to be investigated?

“Who killed them? Who are you protecting?” so Joo Won’s suspicion has gone down from Dongshik being the killer to thinking Dongshik knows who did it?

Ep 5: To Be Deceived - 속다 (Feb 4)

Lee Geum Hwa - name of the woman with the ring that Joo Won sent

I actually hate that Joo Min supermarket owner is most likely the killer because hearing Dongshik’s say “Park Jeong Je” as the person he’s protecting would’ve had my heart racing

Dongshik didn’t say the supermarket owner’s name out of the people he listed to possibly be protecting

lol Joo Won’s father throwing him under the bus during a conference for Joo Won’s hasty/inaccurate but important reveal of the serial killer

Jeong Je’s really obsessed with that deer

aw Jae Yi :<

scene of the supermarket owner watching the news about Joo Won’s interview then his father’s conference and lying down, ignoring the call from the councilwoman

omg 5th person I’ve recognized: the Im Gyu Seok from JSB reporter is the same person as Shinwoo from Light On Me - a BL actor appearance! He’s the one who looks the most different and I was the least certain about recognizing

“It’s because they’re Manyang people. When they’re together, they want to eat each other alive. When an enemy comes from the outside, they band together to work against him”

So Joo Won now thinks it wasn’t Dongshik but rather somebody else from that photo at the dinner that he showed Geum Hwa - the supermarket owner isn’t there though I don’t think

damn they really had the supermarket owner giving a conference in favour of the redevelopment

okay i don’t get why there can’t be redevelopment? like what does this case have to do with building buildings and installing CCTV

“do you want me to kill her?” dongshik my guy you’re giving me a headache

ohh Dongshik told Jeong Je’s mother that it’s not me who’s holding onto Jeong Je but Jeong Je childing to me

this public might kinda dumb lmfao so silly let’s be serious

damn Joo Won’s father is cold toward Joo Won but also so dumb to let Kwon have that much effect over his son “push joo won down so he won’t be able to return for a while” dumbassery

(Bromance) lmfao sorry it kills me that when Joo Won saw Min Jeong and Dongshik interact he was like is she his gf and now that Dongshik’s telling Ji Hwa to not meet her ex-husband construction CEO, Joo Won’s like “are you being jealous?” lmfao and then Ji Hwa being like “you guys are a comedian couple. You should move in together”

Joo Won understanding now that Dongshik doesn’t just lose control and do dumb wild things but rather makes it seem that way to achieve his goals. While Dongshik’s pushing to see if Joo Won would throw away his principles and laws to get to the bottom of this murder case

damn flashbacks to Dongshik’s previous partner who died

is Kwon’s advice right now for Joo Won to fess up about having contact with the woman a bad advice that’s supposed to “keep him down” or whatever

Jeong Je walked Min Jeong home (where her killer supermarket owner father is? oof) that night - as seen by Jihoon... and Jeong Je is also Joo Won’s next target. I wonder what we’ll uncover about him, even if it’s that he killed Min Jeong

plsss seeing Joo Won standing like that beside Dongshik’s house and watching Jihoon leave reminded me so much of Moonjo watching Jongwoo and the new kid while leaning against the wall

damn, someone on reddit was talking about the book where some guy (nearly?) ran over a kid who was wearing deer antlers and this reveal that Jeong Je was an alcoholic (thus why Dongshik was worried about his drinking recently) and was at a psychiatric hospital for 4 years and that he claimed a deer/a human who looked like a deer

(Bromance) Joo Won talking next to Dongshik’s ear - Dongshik says “Dang. I was going to let it go since you’re cute but I guess I can’t”

Joo Won’s running on hunches and keeps accusing Dongshik and Dongshik keeps reminding Joo Won of Geum Hwa and Joo Won’s role in her death

damn, okay so they’re showing us that the supermarket owner father saw Jeong Je meet Min Jeong that night

I saw like 1 second of the next ep preview but it seems like maybe they’ll actually reveal that it was the supermarket owner who killed Min Jeong :0 I hope it’s true, because then I’ll know a spoiler revealed in ep 6 rather than ep 15 or something

Ep 6: To Deceive - 속이다 (Feb 4)

I’m supposed to be studying and doing homework right now but this ep is my reward for going driving I guess

lol this intense music while the supermarket owner’s preparing kimchi

Jin Mook going around giving the cops kimchi ah I don’t think I saw the cannibalism tag otherwise I would’ve been like hm is he feeding them his daughter

oh okay so they really do have him just speaking without stuttering and calling people dumbasses and saying “Min Jeong, you’ll have to live with me forever” - so I guess we do know that he killed Min Jeong but we don’t know if he killed the other people or not

Oh we’re gonna see day of Min Jeong’s disappearence - Oct 23

damn Min Jeong really said that her dad gives her the creeps

they showed him faking his shyness and stuttering and his face when Min Jeong’s captured hm ah

Once again the question remains: does Dongshik know Jin Mook did it? Does he suspect but not know? Is the reason he’s not telling Joo Won because he wants him to be able to figure it out on his own? Because he thinks Joo Won won’t believe him? tbh it could be that Dongshik doesn’t know but just continues making Joo Won think that he does

Also I wanna know when the timeline of everything happens; when did Jin Mook capture Min Jeong? Before or after dinner? Was Dongshik so frazzled because he’d already found the fingers or cuz of his leg pain flaring up again?

Timeline from Jin Mook’s perspective at 25mins

Jae Yi is so fucking beautiful it’s unbelievable. I don’t really care for her and Joo Won’s future romance maybe that I’ve been kinda sensing since the egg incident but oh well

damn Joo Won’s dad’s threats and comments toward Kwon were insane, compared to how he’d been behaving toward Kwon so far especially

ah I think I need to just watch the show without playing Solitaire on the side because I’ve been doing that this episode and getting confused.

What dashcam footage was the councilwoman talking about

(Confusion) Girl I’m confused as to what happened with the Chief deleting the footage of Dongshik going to the archives - why’d he do it? did he do something else and use this deletion as an excuse as well? what’s happening like Dongshik was like I didn’t ask you to delete it and then said something about asking him to delete it like huh?

lmfaooo this is actually wild the councilwoman really was like okay lemme do this dashcam footage of Oh Jihoon being seen near Min Jeong’s house but literally his own son was seen with Min Jeong with that dashcam footage (now deleted I suppose) but also Jihoon has seen Jeong Je with her straight up

It’s interesting how entangled all these people are and Joo Won is correct to be worried that they’re protecting each other. like Ji Hwa full on knew that Jihoon saw Min Jeong and also saw her with Jeong Je but since one’s her brother and the other’s her trusted friend, she didn’t tell anybody else even though they’re investigating her murder/disappearence

ahh Ji Hwa being shaky, being upset that she hopes that Jeong Je’s the culprit so that it’s not her brother who is

bruvvvvvvv what the fuck is “appa, let me out” getting texted to Jin Mook’s phone. did he send that to himself? People on reddit pointed out it seems like Dongshik sent that and so after rewatching that part, it does seem like it. Dongshik checks that drawer in the alleyway - Min Jeong’s phone is on - Dongshik returns and Jin Mook checks his phone text - Min Jeong’s phone has been turned off

Ep 7: To Catch - 낚다 (Feb 5)

Can’t quite remember when I finished up ep 6 last night but I think it was 6-8pm and now it’s 4pm so it’s been like 20 hours :0 I lasted not watching this ep longer than expected but I think last ep’s cliffhangers wasn’t too bad for me

Dongshik and his old partner Sang Yeob were staking out on a guy suspected to have killed 3 women and Sang Yeob died after chasing that guy and getting shot

woahh Dongshik getting revenge for Sang Yeob by capturing the guy, almost shooting him, going for the handcuffs instead, fucker gets cocky and says “heh it was self defense” and that’s how he’ll get out of being responsible for Sang Yeob’s death, so Dongshik just bashes the guy’s skull against the concrete over and over till he dies I’m guessing

ah I did notice Dongshik looking at Min Jeong putting in her password

Day of Min Jeong’s disappearance again - this time I think we’ll get more of Dongshik’s involvement I guess? how he had the fingers and the phone

so at around 8pm - people are at the meat shop, Jin Mook’s subducing Min Jeong, Jihoon is boutta come to the supermarket but Dongshik is there before him to return Min Jeong’s keychain

hmmm Dongshik puts on his hoodie and runs away when seeing that the supermarket was closed hm - oh I see he actually went on a run I guess?

oh fucking fuck okay so Jin Mook had already cut off her fingers (why does he hate those nails so bad - even was like “Wench. and look at those nails”) /probably killed her and hid her body in the time it took for Jihoon to get to the supermarket

it makes sense that Dongshik was soooo out of it when he went to go get barbeque. he really found Min Jeong’s fingers and found out Jin Mook had done it and also mans was saying that Min Jeong was sleeping like a corpse

also that table... did Dongshik somehow drag it to his house or what

Dongshik found the burner phone Geum Hwa that used to text Joo Won - so Jin Mook def killed more than just Min Jeong - but did he also kill the girls from 20 years ago and was there anybody other than him

ah this compilation of all the missing girls and their family’s suffering because they’re just gone, no trace of them left and so by korea’s law there’s no prosecution because there’s no corpse

Jin Mook must know that somebody fully knows that he’s killed Min Jeong, what with the missing fingers and Dongshik fucking up that whole room while searching for Min Jeong’s body - I assume he has a strong guess that it’s Dongshik?

It’s November 4, so 12 days after Oct 23 Min Jeong’s death

oh Dongshik’s visiting his mother’s room?

no way Jin Mook just was like oh Jae Yi wasn’t there for an hour the night Min Jeong disappeared

...does Jae Yi know it’s Jin Mook

girl Jeong Je turned himself in?! oh just for seeing Min Jeong last, I see

please why does this show become funny sometimes like the “Fine, thank you다 이 새끼야. Didn’t go to America, what’s with the English?” "If you knew you could’ve told me. It was tiring to me to mix English into my vocabulary.” lol also I though Dongshik knew about the hospitalization from Jeong Je but I guess he knew in a different way or Joo Won really did expose Jeong Je’s hospitalization

damn Dongshik’s just telling Jeong Je that he sent the text

did Jin Mook find the phone and send a new text to himself? Why does he want the cops to search the reed fields now?

oh, Jae Yi’s the one who got the phone

damn, so Jae Yi had a strong suspicion that it was Jin Mook doing that to everybody... so Jin Mook did make Dongshik’s sister disappear and he knew it this whole time?

nooo I’ll become a villain if anything at all happens to Jae Yi by the way

oof rip Jihoon if he’s saying “Family can’t suspect each other” like you’re correct Jae Yi didn’t kill Min Jeong... but if you’re saying family can’t, then whelp gl when you find out

oof Joo Won just found out that it took a while before Dongshik came to the restaurant the night Min Jeong died

please the construction CEO right when he’s like smh this is why you shouldn’t have kids cuz his partner councilwoman’s son Jeong Je walked into the cell and his partner deputy chief’s son Joo Won is causing a ruckus in general

are these fuckers gonna frame someone as the murderer?

ohhhh confusion clear up. so the CCTV caught Dongshik putting the fingers there but he got the Chief to delete that footage - and when the Chief was talking about ‘covering up’ something by deleting the archive footage, this deletion footage is what he was referring to. but ummm so does the Chief know that Dongshik put the fingers there?

(Confusion) Actually, I still don’t know when exactly Dongshik put the fingers on the supermarket porch. after jeong je left? bc apparently he came to his home wearing leather shoes but he was wearing sneakers when he put the fingers there?

...T.T wtf is that meat and what did Jin Mook put in there/find

oh? is the object Jin Moon found the clip that Jae Yi’s mother is wearing in that photo?

oh my fucking god I was dying that he was gonna try to do something to Jae Yi but Jin Mook fucker left her mom’s clip and also the location of her grave?! Why’s he doing that? Is it because he suspects that she suspects him/knows it’s him? He used the same wording for “please let mom out” as Dongshik used to text him as Min Jeong - does Jin Mook think that Jae Yi did that as well and that’s also why he told Joo Won that Jae Yi wasn’t there for an hour?

anyway pls pls pls I hope Jae Yi takes Dongshik or someone there when she goes to find the body

Dongshik’s breaking expression as Joo Won’s talking about the CCTV and him being the finger returner

brooo Dongshik just tell Joo Won that Jae Yi’s in danger and that he can come too instead of yelling you’re wasting precious seconds!!

pls let those car lights toward Jae Yi be Dongshik

okayyyyy whewww okay so Dongshik took Joo Won to arrest Jin Mook and they caught him redhanded so it’s not like he’s being framed (also I didn’t realize that the room where he’s storing the kimchi and also the bodies was open roof - can see from outside

and Dongshik sent Jeong Je and the cops to find Jae Yi

(Fave) How the last few minutes played out: from the moment Jiin Mook finds something in the meat and Jae Yi’s going through the photo album to Jin Mook came to Jae Yi’s shop to the interweaving of her story of her mom with Joo Won and Dongshik till the end. also the background music here ahh epic

Suchh a good episode but we’re like 44% into the show... 9 eps left... what’s gonna happen omg You know in romance shows, when the couple is together and happy in like ep 9 out of 12, it’s like oh fucking fuck agh something’s gonna go wrong and that’s how it feels for this show. Catching the killer red handed in ep 7 why the fuck? What’s gonna happen for the other 56% of the show?

I hope it reaches new heights and murders my brain and doesn’t become repetitive because unlike Strangers From Hell where the repetitiveness was part of the horror, it’ll just become bland here

Ep 8: To Be Caught - 낚이다 (Feb 5)

pls Not Me ep 12 flashbacks of Sean and Black when Joo Won handcuffs Dongshik and himself together and Dongshik punches him lol

“Nobody’s going to die... from today” well considering we’re on episode 8, I wonder how true that’ll be

ah there are still mysteries such as why did Guem Hwa send those 1s that day. did she really see Dongshik or did she just send that in a panic

lol Kwon and the audience both grumbling that Joo Won’s father only wants Han Joo Won’s name to be out and public and get special treatment about the arrest (1 joo won name revealed 2 details of case and suspect not revealed 3 lee dongshik’s name not revealed)

bro i’m gonna throw up, Min Jeong was alive when the fucker cut her fingers and put her in the pot

oh my godddd she was alive while Dongshik searched for her above that’s so fucked up that’s so fucked up he dug up the cabbage but not her

oh i’ve never seen a Korean funeral other than like the cremating in Squid Game I guess. I didn’t know this is how their cremation took place; I’m used to seeing Hindu cremations on TV as a child

ah fuck 25 mins getting to see that fucker kill the 4 of them T.T

ah he cut off their fingers because they pointed at him? the first girl, Yoo Yeon. did Min Jeong point her finger?

(Bromance) lol Dongshik disappeared and Joo Won’s on a vacation cut to Dongshik having followed Joo Won as he searches the passage parlours for someone who knows Geum Hwa I’m guessing. And Dongshik figuring out and teasing that Joo Won now has emotions for the people, including Dongshik (that’s why he’s letting Dongshik walk around free with a promise of turning himself in for crimes such as not telling about Jin Mook earlier - even though why would you trust a criminal to turn themselves in etc)

ohhh Joo Won’s looking for Yoon Hye Mi/Mi Hye - Min Jeong’s mother, who Jin Mook was possibly searching for in Busan parlours

ohhhh?! this motherfucker really went through all the women who got caught in the massage parlour bust and killed them all? because he didn’t want them to tell her than he was looking for her because he wanted to kill her my god

oh Hye Mi was going by Cherry and died last year by traffic but I’m assuming that’s not gonna be true?

oh yeah they didn’t talk about finding Jae Yi’s mom so I guess Jin Mook told her to go there and knew that cops would probably go there and not find him digging up Min Jeong’s body or something?

it’s sooo fucked up that Jin Mook buried the bodies in other people’s backyards and stuff when they got him to do stuff around their house. Jae Yi looking everywhere for her mother but she’s buried right there in the butcher shop backyard

wtf Jin Mook escaped and said “Dongshik-ah, not Yoo Yeon” ? oh just kidding my bad he hung himself I think okay fucker really killed himself tf

Someone on reddit said Yoo Yeon was the only one who we didn’t see get actually killed - so somebody else killed Yoo Yeon? and did the finger thing? but Jin Mook specifically had the finger thing hm maybe he cut her fingers and kept her alive the same way he did to Min Jeong but she escaped and then was killed like hit by Jeong Je or something or other

omgggggg I nearly spoiled myself very big again because I searched up Beyond Evil on pannchoa and one of the comments had a spoilered comment like “the reveal of where yoo yeon’s body was hidden blah blah” and I nearly read it but thankfully I didn’t. TODO there are two posts’ comments I wanna read on pannchoa after I’ve finished watching

Ep 9: To Float - 떠오르다 (Feb 6)

oh Joo Won confessed his sting with Geum Hwa

damn Dongshik watching videos of his mom and Jin Mook 20 years ago where she mentioned Jin Mook renovating his house and trying to break apart his floor to see if he hid Yoo Yeon there ah

ah ep 9, starting the second half of the story in a callback to the first ep where Dongshik catches the aunties and grandmas gambling

Joo Won looked quite cute and pretty as he appeared for duty again heh

ohh Around the time Kang Jin Mook was discovered to be dead in his cell by suicide, Jae Yi was trying to get to the cell to kill him but couldn’t - she voluntarily tells this to the Munju police because she received an email that a dashcam video will be sent to the cops otherwise

wait omg Joo Won just referred to Jae Yi as noona when talking to his father - I didn’t realize she was his noona but heh that’s nice if they do go in a romantic direction

Joo Won really just went to smile and piss off his father

someone from the cops is working as an informant for councilwoman? agh. is it the chief?

Jae Yi saying nobody knew that she was at the station that night Jin Mook died but the chief seems suspicious... as if he knew... and he’d previously deleted CCTV footage, so did he do the same now about the CCTV near Jin Mook’s cell

heh Ji Hwa, Dongshik, Jeong Je are a fun trio

ah and so the cops and the councilwoman, construction CEO etc become more entangled.

also does this mean Dongshik and Jeong Je really were together that night when Yoo Yeon died? I thought there was a strong suggestion that he’d lied

and that place is right beside the deer farm that Jeong Je’s family owns ah

Joo Won looks pretty with his pretty coat and pretty smile

ah Joo Won’s desperate “you promised me that you’d turn yourself in”

ah, I feel like they’d be the roots of a tree or a different corpse? damn Oh Jihoon keeps finding corpses, first Geum Hwa and now this

in the ep 7-8 reddit on-air thread, people mentioned Jeong Je’s family owning a deer farm so I thought maybe Yoo Yeon’d be hidden there but turns out literally wayyyy too many dead bodies are buried there but likely not Yoo Yeon

(Bromance) okay listen, Joo Won and Dongshik had really good interactions and dynamics before this ep but now that the killer had been found and has died, I’m noticing things like oh Joo Won very beautiful and oh the Joo Won/Dongshik dynamics even more delicious than the haha bromance before. like Dongshik coming to Jin Mook’s house and hearing a video of Jin Mook’s voice to Dongshik is eerie and it’s so good to reveal that Joo Won has been listening to those. Joo Won’s arrogance not as pointed toward finding Dongshik suspicious even if it is to annoy Dongshik. Them calling each other cute wtf

jk Joo Won still suspicious of Dongshik - now for killing Jin Mook and not actually trying to find Yoo Yeon

ah so Jin Mook got the autopsy report of Hye Mi’s death so he had no more reason to live

Jin Mook really fuckin meant it when he said I returned Yoo Yeon to you - she was in the fucking basement furnace walls that Jin Mook put up even though Dongshik’s mom said not to do construction there

right so the chief ha been hiding something because why did he help with Jin Mook’s suicide - what does that fucker know that the chief doesn’t want to get out? did he kill Yoo Yeon? and try to pin it on Dongshik 20 years ago? what is his arrest going to unconver, ah

I don’t get Joo Won (?) inside the office or what’s happening

This is the first episode where I started actually shipping Dongshik and Joo Won beyond just “oh I like these two characters’ dynamic” and more as a “fuck I wish they had a romantic storyline” I even read 2 fics on AO3 released before ep 10 so that I don’t get spoiled oof kilmer by SerpentineJ is mindboggling i liked the fuckedupness

Ep 10: To Sink - 가라앉다 (Feb 6)

December 2020 ooh we’re going 2 months back from present - it’s 1 month after Kang Jin Mook’s death

What does it mean that Kwon is using unnie to refer to Jae Yi

Kwon talking about booksmart Joo Won getting used by crazy Dongshik - this was mentioned in the fic kilmer where Joo Won knew he was being used by Dongshik

ohhh that was cool because I’ve been like oh so far it’s like ep 9′s Joo Won who is smiley hasn’t started existing yet because it’s 2 months before ep 9 and it’s true, seems like this is when he decided to be reborn after the convo with Kwon

oh lol there really was an almost reunion of Jae Yi, Chief, and Joo Won at Busan

ah Joo Won found the dashcam footage using a PI

oh did Joo Won not request the arrest without a warrant for Chief? so somebody else knows?

"how many times have people from manyang station been arrested?” no like fr lmfao

Dongshik’s breakdown as he talks about how he imagined finding Yoo Yeon alive to her body to her skeleton to her ashes and yet not imaging her in his fucking basement and crying

Chief’s office had the autopsy report and fishing line? damn, that’d just make me think that it’s not him and somebody’s setting him up wtf

naurr Dongshik to Chief “Do I have to see something bad happen to you?”

oh lmfao Joo Won learned from Dongshik to fabricate evidence and even smiled at the CCTV - unlike Dongshik who had the footage deleted with Chief’s help

oh please Joo Won is sooo annoying with his smile and teasing hehe “ah that reminds me! ‘is that it? did you come all the way here because of that?’” throwing Dongshik’s words back at him. oh he’s memorized every fucking thing Dongshik had said to him or what?

Jeong Je’s going through it oof he was the last person to see Yoo Yeon that night and he was also the last person to see Min Jeong that night rip him fr

so Jeong Je’s deers look like people right? Who did that last deer look like? Yoo Yeon?

Dongshik knows Jae Yi saw Chief the night Jin Mook killed himself. ah Chief also knows it’s Joo Won who put him in that cell and Joo Won’s tryna what? bug the Chief’s wallet to be able to overhead convo? track him?

lol the photo taking with the Chief in a cell with a peace sign

bro too much is happening so Dongshik was in front of the what? deer farm thing or what idk and Chief was going there too but saw him and left. Joo Wonwas tailing him there and then to the main office where 2 other people from the substation were there too for some reason and then intercepted by his father and we learn his mother died

Joo Won was at the city as a child and was sent to the Uk at either, I wonder when his mother died? Was it while they were in Manyang? killed by Jin Mook? and then his father sent him away? or is that a coincidence

damn councilwoman wants to tranquilize Jeong Je

ah so Yoo Yeon really wasn’t killed by Jin Mook but somebody ran her over Multiple times <- Jeong Je? idk

somebody with black gloves killed the chief (the chief also wanted to kill them bc he came here with a gun) - is this the person who helped Jin Mook die?

Joo Won followed the Chief and realized somebody hit him, Dongshik realized something happened by calling the Chief and him finally picking up but just breathing

oh noooo Joo Won saying the same stuff that Dongshik’s old partner said but he dieddd

my god Dongshik repeatedly telling Joo Won to be careful and Joo Won saying he’ll be waiting. him telling the cops to track joo won and saying he’s his partner

damn bruv okay so Jeong Je and Dongshik got to the scene too late and the chief for sure dead and oof rip

dongshik in joo won’s arms hm

I feel like alksdfj because for multiple eps, since the ep where we saw Jin Mook at the end scene (ep 5) onwards, we’ve been getting answers - whether it be who is the murder, why, how, where the bodies of other victims are, where’s Yoo Yeon, etc. but this ep, we found out a bit like Yoo Yeon wasn’t killed by Jin Mook but by being run over and had a billion questions raised like who killed Yoo Yeon, why? how did Jin Mook get hold of her body? What did Chief know? Who helped Jin Mook die? Who killed Chief? etc

Ep 11: To Tighten - 조이다 (Feb 7)

It’s the break between my Tuesday classes and I’m spending that time starting another episode. I’m not even watching Never Let Me Go episode from today (read a few spoilers about it though) and instead watching this ah, I’m a bad student

Also, I’ve started listening to the OSTs since last night and it’s so good TODO listen to the songs and add some like The Night (+ instrumental) to my spotify

This show really does show everything rather than tell. People have been saying so on the reddit on-air threads for a while but we’re at the 2003 flashback with Chief and yeah, this show is big on just showing what happened and less exposition

Lee Dohyun my loveeee

ah parallels of Chief and Dongshik attending his father’s funeral vs Dongshik and Joo Won attending Chief’s funeral ah

naurr this grief is fucking me up fr like Dongshik going through the chief’s house, the flashback to Chief bringing the jjigae and their chant

Joo Won even drinking from the shared utensils

Joo Won and Jae Yi convo with his apologizing and thanking her hm

okay so i guess Jo Gil Goo and Hwang Gwang Yeong are starting to play more of a role since last ep after having not been there much for the first half of the show. would it really be one of them who killed Chief? they did say Gil Goo knew Chief for 21 years hm that’s when the original deaths happened

It’s curious that Joo Won and Dongshik are telling literally everybody that he saw those two at the Seoul agency - that makes it seem like there’s less weight to the suspicions

please I wish Jae Yi and Jihoon were a thing, her driving with him in the back of the motorcycle <3 i love het couples who are gay4gay

lol I too was thinking Hwang Gwang Yeong would be here to try for some job opportunity, makes sense

Gil Goo called Han Joo Won’s father deputy whatever that night hm

oh Jeong Je throwing away his medication <- the one councilwoman was using tranquilizer in or whatever? so that his visions/flashbacks continue

Gil Goo did something during the Yoo Yeong missing case 21 years ago that he thoughts was the order of the chief back then (ie. current Deputy whatever Joo Won’s father) ahh

and then the Chief came in to see the deputy chief? asking about Jo Gil Goo? omg and analysis report? wtf is happening girl

anyway i don’t believe for a second that Deputy Chief doesn’t have any idea about what’s going on. he’s the one who closed the case after 4 months back in 2000 after all and he’s shady throughout this whole show. doesn’t know about the analysis report and doesn’t know about what he ordered Gil Goo hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Gil Goo visited the chief in the holding cell

ohhh wtf wtf okay so there was a guitar pick beside the body in 2000, Gil Goo gave it to the forensics team and got the analysis report, that report had nothing that there were no prints on the analysis report oof - so it wasn’t actually Dongshik’s guitar pick the way I originally thought it was. I’d thought maybe he left it there when he was visiting her restaurant or whatever

oh the pick was Dongshik’s but there were no fingerprints on it - so I’m guessing there were Dongshik’s and somebody else’s?

man i should think of guesses right now ig because the reveals might be coming soon but idek like somebody pretended to give orders based on being Chief Han, who could do that? Am I supposed to be suspicious of Ji Hwa’s partner? would it be councilwoman because Jeong Je’s fingerprints would also be on the pick?

ah it’s true i guess that one person really did kill 3 people: yoo yeon, jin mook, chief name sang bae. a serial killer based on hiding yoo yeon’s killer

okay who is this guy again? chief of some other substation? of the violent crimes thing? he’s been at some of the interrogations

oh his name Cheol Moon - didn’t Gil Goo call him too? before calling the deputy chief? i guess it’s because cheol moon had been acting as if chief Han had ordered for the faking and disappearance of the analysis report

ah so Cheol Moon and Chief had gone to Jin Mook’s cell

bruv Jin Mook had ripped off his fingers to write on the wall w blood

ah it’s the construction CEO - somebody had mentioned that in the reddit on-air threads. someone sent him the CCTV from jin mook’s cells hmm also he owns the deer farm where the bodies are found <- will we get to hear more about this? were they killed like Jin Mook’s victims choking? like car accidents?

is CEO construction also faking his physical disability that’s so annoying of this fucking show

is councilwoman’s number the burner phone number than gil goo called?

my goodness

last 15 min rewatched: still so </3

I feel feral; it’s been a few hours since I watched this (I had to watch the last few minutes on such a time crunch cuz I had to get to my next class and time was running out but I was too close to the end to just stop and watch the rest later lol) and I’m just klajdsf about the ending. so Jeong Je ran over Yoo Yeon (poor girl, she was so happy to see the car lights), then councilwoman and the constructor CEO were also there and probably helped cover it up. does Jeong Je actually know he ran her over or is he so drugged up by his mom that he doesn’t know or that his visions/hallucinations make him think that was not real and he instead hit a deer? poor dongshik who somehow learned jeong je ran over yoo yeon. Also, did Yoo Yeon have her fingers or no? How did she escape Jin Mook? also how is Cheol Moon involved hmm and was it joo won who sent CEO the CCTV clip or someone else? ah fuck i’m mad that I have like 4 more hours of stuff to do before I can watch the next ep

Ep 12: To Loosen - 풀다 (Feb 8)

I'm so fucking stupid and only watched 1 ep yesterday because last night i was supposed to do some homework then watch ep 12 of beyond evil but i kept procrastinating for hours upon hours, so i only just finished the work at 12:30 and couldn’t watch another ep. ahh it’s even more annoying that i didn’t even procrastinate by watching an episode because i kept thinking i can’t start an 1h ep, i’ll be starting my work in like 5 minutes! 3 hours later i hadn’t started work nor watched an ep

Also I kept having to leave the G/T rated fics I tried reading because I was afraid that I’d get spoiled so I was like well if I read an explicit fic how much can porn really spoil? Well turns out Dongshik goes to prison for a year in the end maybe, it can spoil that

Who is Secretary Jang that Construction CEO Jin Lee is calling

ohhhh so Dongshik didn’t know that Jeong Je hit his sister but that Jeong Je must have recognized councilwoman’s burner phone from Gil Goo’s call log but didn’t mention it

and Jeong Je can’t remember that he actually hit Yoo Yeon that night or what happened that night; though he does know that the number what the burner phone his mom used 20 years ago

As I was about to start the ep, I was like oh it’d be fun if this ep’s title is 풀다 cuz I know that word already and it was :)

(Bromance) “Are you worried about me right now, Lieutenant Han Joo Won?” “Do you think I’m crazy?” lmfaoo

i wish i knew everybody’s names cuz who tf is HKH is this Deputy Chief Han

how much does Deputy Chief CEO Han know ah like he’s been in cahoots with councilwoman and Jin LEe CEO but he claims to not know wtf is going on and also he wasn’t seen in the flashback to the night of Yoo Yeong’s death

pls why are Joo Won and Dongshik so cute >.< Dongshik once again being like “ooh was i there?” and joo won instead of taking it as a confession, he’s like don’t joke about it >:((

okay they quickly learned that Jin Lee was at the restaurant last night

so who sent Jin Lee the CCTV vid hmm it doesn’t seem like Joo Won Dongshik etc I wonder if it could be Gil Goo trying to right his wrongs from before or Park Jeong Je in a similar vein

fuck did I forget something? What was in Chief Nam Sang Bae’s safe? the guitar pick analysis report? did Joo Won take that? or somebody else? also interesting that Gil Goo just straight up knows that councilwoman had a hand in killing Chief and just isn’t saying anything

what did councilwoman use that burner hone for 21 years ago?

also okay so Yoo Yeon’s body, catatonic Park Jeong Je, his mother councilwoman, and Jin Lee Construction CEO were all gathered there that night and Jin Lee was supposed to take care of Yoo Yeon’s body (he got Jin Mook to cover it up I suppose (in exchange for what? getting to bury people in the deer farm that Jin Lee bought from councilwoman?) and councilwoman tried to cover up everything Jeong Je was involved in (the guitar pick that was found and used for Dongshik’s capture whad Jeong Je’s fingerprints - I feel like that was guessable based on the fact that Jeong and Dongshik were friends and since finding out about councilwoman’s involvement, it’d make sense that she’d get rid of the paper because Jeong Je was her son and she’s protecting him ofc ofc but we still don’t know why the guitar pick was there that day. ig we’ll learn once Jeong Je’s memory comes back)

ooh Joo Won character growth of not just arresting Jeong Je without a warrant for having killed Yoo Yeon because he learned after doing that stuff to Dongshik

who is So Nyeo again? this pregnant lady ah her name is familiar but who are you? the forsenics department person? oh she’s telling them how Yoo Yeon probably was hit by the car

damn girl, Jo Gil Goo’s wife also involved with the councilwoman, Cheol Moon, and construction CEO?

so now Dongshik knows that Do Hae Won has been paying Gil Goo for 20 years because he switched out the guitar pick analysis report and the original fingerprints were Jeong Je’s

no like why are we also being like yesh Jeong Je’s meds hm like just 1 person takes meds and it’s seen as bad thing to cover up bad thing they did like pls this showwwwwww let’s spread a little less ableist ideas

ohh I’d assumed Dongshik had texted Yoo Yeon that night but it was Jeong Je - which makes sense now if we think that that’s her boyfriend

ah fuck was i supposed to fucking remember the burner phone numbers? did jeong je use the same phone to text yoo yeon that his mother later has used as her burner phone number

wait hold on wtf so Yoo Yeon was already fallen on the ground by the time Jeong Je ran over her? but also whoooo are these people like the outfit isn’t the same? or is it? or what’s happening? it wasn’t the outfit of the other girl whose body was near the guitar pick either

oh just kidding Yoo Yeon was indeed wearing that outfit but her yellow jacket was not to be found when Jeong Je ran her over

oh insane I was like Dongshik for sure not killing Jeong Je with that hammer lol but I also didn’t expect him to tell Joo Won of the confession but to aslo let Jeong Je just go home and kinda use him as bait to find out more about his mother councilwoman and also about who’s behind Chief’s murder etc and also I wonder if he realizes that something’s weird about Jeong Je saying Yoo Yeon was already on the ground when he ran over her, because a car hit her on the knees first

oh is this a hint that Han Joo Won’s deputy chief/commisioner father did indeed do something bad all thought years ago - this show keeps making him suspicious and then be like hm no he doesn’t know anything but then suspicious again

ah of course Han Joo Won’s father hit Yoo Yeon first and then just left her there I guess and then drunk out of his mind ran over Jeong Je her fallen body. did dongshik somehow already know of the father’s involvement bc why did he speak to joo won like that about his loyalty to family and whether dongshik can trust him if his father does something bad

Poor Yoo Yeon for real; she escaped the car while Jin Mook was dragging the other girl’s body and still got run over so many times and left for dead

we got a glimpse last episode of Yoo Yeong’s death so I thought we know most of the things but they seem to have endless tricks up their sleeves

When did Jeong’s mother and Jin Lee appear? did he call her? Jeong Je’s guitar pick fell when he went to Yoo Yeon, how come it was near the other girl?

Ep 13: To Ask - 묻다 (Feb 8)

Oof, no wonder all 3 of the councilwoman, Jin Lee, and Han Chief all ended up seeing Yoo Yeon’s body, they were all together and drinkingright before that. Makes more sense than them all stumbling upon her on their own

so Dongshik did catch the fact that Yoo Yeon can’t have been lying down

ya going back to how Han Gi Hwan closed the case just 4 months after Yoo Yeon’s disappearence

Oh I just realized person and deer are similar in Korean 사슴 사람

Did Jeong Je tell Dongshik abut Jin Lee also being there at the crime site or no because he seems to remember that. oh he did, okay

dang his mother breaking down like you’re not remembering it right because you’re the one who killed Yoo Yeon! when Jeong Je was asking who killed Yoo Yeon

no it’s like crazy that Han Gi Hwan ran over Yoo Yeon and left and then so many people worked to cover up Yoo Yeon’s death cuz of Jeong Je that Han Gi Hwan didn’t even have to do anything except close the case 4 months later and not worry about it for 20 years

lol but also this coverup meant the case been unsolved for 2 decades when, if Jeong Je had been arrested, everybody would’ve thought he killed her by himself and Han Gi Hwan wouldn’t have had to worry at all despite having run her over first

ohh Han Gi Hwan gave Jin Lee the orders to kill Kang Jin Mook and pulled the CCTV strings (which reminds me - who send Jin Lee the CCTV footage? that’s why he’s been hounding Han Gi Hwan no?) - that was the secret they were hiding (presumably because the two more aboutthe Yoo Yeon incident than councilwoman who only knows about Jeong Je and Jin Lee’s cleanup)

damn Han Gi Hwan and Cheol Moon really just decided to frame Nam Sang Bae “if something goes wrong” but also why did Jin Lee then kill Nam Sang Bae? Han Gi Hwan knew that Nam Sang Bae would visit

“Catch all the rotten bastards” girl Han Gi Hwan talking bout himself or what

ah somebody on reddit on-air said that Jae Yi’s talk about how Jeong Je must receive punishment is also about how he shouldn’t kill himself to escape like Kang Jin Mook

Han Gi Hwan foiling Han Joo Won’s plan about him knowing about bribe-taker Cheol Moon because Joo Won already told his father he’d do something about it if he didn’t deal with Cheol Moon but Cheol Moon has blackmail material on Han Gi Hwan such as him being involved with Kang Jin Mook’s death

girl what the fuck is happeningggggg okay is this Joo Won and Dongshik’s plan and that’s why Joo Won decided to come here to this commissioner thing (Kwon saying oh Joo Won you came here for this little thing? talking about the bribery scandal but he’s here to cause an even bigger scandal?) or is Dongshik going fucking balls to the wall wild again ahhhhhhhh scream

ohh Joo Won didn’t knowwww fuckkkkk what’s going on fucking hell

Girl I have immense amount of work to do because I’ve been procrastinating too much but... should I just procastinate for another 1.5 hours and watch the next ep wtf

This show has ended up so different from the first half where we had a loose serial killer but now it’s like laws and corrupt officials and bribery but it still keeps my attention and curiosity

Ep 14: To Answer - 답하다 (Feb 8)

nooooooo my poor Joo Won T.T his mom tried to kill herself and his dad sent his mom to a psych ward

they’re showing the arrest again and now that i’m not sooo focused on the ‘wtf is happening’ i’m like yknow what they both look hot

ohhh okay good it was in fact Joo Won’s idea whewwwwww

plsss Dongshik’s faceeee as Joo Won is confessing during the questioning even though Dongshik made him promise that he’ll use his right to remain silent

oh yeah i totally forgot that Han Joo Won had previously confessed and then they’d done nothing about it and he hadn’t been punished despite being wanting it

ohhh Joo Won being like fuck you for breaking your promise to turn yourself in for not calling as soon as you found out Jin Mook was guilty and we might’ve saved Min Jeong. I’ll thus break my proise to not take the punishment and instead admit my crimes

oh the punishment is just a suspension? or it says ‘until disciplinary meeting’ so maybe something more will come

damn not Kwan getting slapped by Han Gi Hwan and spoken to lowly. i kept thinking he’s gonna betray Joo Won in order to do something for his father but hmmmm I mean he could betray them both lol there’s 3 more hours left

pls not Joo Won appearing to a) lie to his father about not knowing about getting arrested (thus the show about what are you doing rn? during the arrest ig) and b) annoying his father

naur Joo Won’s father telling him to get out and him actually taking it to heart fr this time. it’s okay my guy your father will hopefully be in prison for hit and run soon

oh Kang Jin Mook just found Yoo Yeon, he and Jin Lee weren’t working together. that’s good i don’t think it would’ve made sense if Jin Lee just knew of a serial killer running around lowering their chance of redevelopment and didn’t do anything to stop it

Councilwoman’s secret girl there are so many things it could be about so idek

why is Jin Lee so funny just “if everybody knows it, would it be a secret?” and his heart eyes for Jihwa

aw Jihwa telling Jeong Je “good work” T.T

i love Jae Yi <3 also idk I like when Jae Yi treats Joo Won with the lightest layer of disdain but still is cordial towards him and I’d like it if they were friends but not romantically involved

ohoho all this talks about not being on the same team, alright guys

yaas Jae Yi chasing Han Gi Hwan

oh i’m a dumbass obviously Cheol Moon sent Jin Lee the CCTV footage

girl i keep getting confused and being like ohh dongshik joo won kiss <3 like wtf do you mean by ‘i promise i’ll contact you’ ‘i’ll be waiting, Han Joo Won’

ah so Han Gi Hwan did get caught by Jin Lee and that’s why it’s so interesting that he was called about the same girl again by the councilwoman

oof Joo Won bugged his dad’s car and gets to hear about how his father ordered Jin Lee to kill Jin Mook

I hope Joo Won is recording this he’s getting confessions of Jin Mook and Nam Sang BAe’s murders almost and kinda planning of Cheol Moon’s

not Joo Won’s brain and heart fucking breaking as he gets confirmation that his dad caused the accident that killed Yoo Yeon

naurrr not Dongshik checking his phone like a lover waiting for a text wtf

ah poor Joo Won at the end, just like the beginning. what’s he gonna do with that golf club in the rain

Ep 15: To Let Go - 놓다 (Feb 9)

noo poor Joo Won learning that not only did his father kill Yoo Yeon but he’s badmouthing Joo Won and didn’t even clearly say he won’t kill his own son

oh yeah it’s interesting how Joo Won came to the town convinved Dongshik killed Geum Hwa and Yoo Yeon but indeed it comes back to Joo Woon and his family

ooh Kang Jin Mook and chairwoman Do Hae Won know the secret mentioned in the last ep but Jin Lee doesn’t know. does Han Gi Hwan?

damn Joo Won being like i’ll set a trap, be the bait, become a monster, and drag Han Gi Hwan into hell with me and that’s how i’ll apologize to you Dongshik

(Fave) D: not the kneeling in front of Dongshik. My bad for reading that post-canon explicit fic that slightly mentioned Dongshik thinking of this moment because now I’m looking at it with that in mind

(Fave) but kneeling in front of someone and saying “I will go to hell” as you beg them to let you drag your father down for killing their sister is actually such aklsfjalksdfj (Edit: I’m reblogging every single gifset with this scene or with Joo Won/Dongshik hands gifsets where they talk about Joo Won atoning by going to hell ah)

damn the interaction between Jeong Je and his mom where she’s like... outwardly evil is wild

not them going on a meal date right now

pls Joo Won being like “sniveling? i never cried” like okay my guy

damn Han Gi Hwan knuckle bloody from punching the phone

ahhh Joo Won being like stop getting stabbed in the back by bastards you need to get rid of and hold my hand, thus using han gi hwan’s own words to point the accomplices as enemies and showing him that joo won can hold out his hand first

lmfao councilwoman’s approval rating for becoming mayor is last place? girl at least han gi hwan is literally nominated to become commissioner but she’s doing all these insane things for what? esp if she doesn’t even gaf about her son for real

damn Dongshik coming in at the perfect moment to stop Jin Lee from murdering Jeong Cheol Moon in broad daylight

I love it when I don’t know anything like for the past several episodes, we’ve known more than Dongshik or Joo Won have known but now, I don’t know what they’re planning exactly beyond just taking down Han Gi Hwan, so this is fun

you know Dongshik and Joo Won give me perfect ‘pretend enemies while lovers’ like Pat/Pran

pls Jin Lee being like okay I enjoyed the show, you’re trying to show me that your relationship is pretty bad right now. Am I close? like plssss maybe he’s my favourite character, who knows

ah Jin Lee said that night Han Gi Hwan came just to ask him to reject his wife’s construction company’s bid (a lie bc they were supposed to work together)

oof Jin Lee pointedly brining up the part when commissioner Han Gi Hwan was like a murderer shouldn’t get a mic into his mic

ah Jin Lee working to make it seem like Do Hae Won ran over Yoo Yeon + talking about how the bodies found in the Deer Farm killed by Kang Jin Mook was on his property but it was still Do Hae Won who had access to it and is suggesting she worked with Kan Jin Mook

tbh we still don’t know why Jeong Je’s guitar pick thing appeared beside the other girl

Park Jeong Je in a mental hospital

Joo Won was expecting his father to do something about Cheol Moon but instead he promoted him right hm

girl what’s happening agh fuck 50m in i can’t rn i have class soon, guess i’ll just have to watch this later T.T

okay time to finish watching the last 15 mins or so

does Prosecutor Kwan now know Lee Dongshik’s number even though he technically doesn’t know whose number it is he can probably guess

Joo Won seeing Jeong Cheol Moon text Dongshik about meeting alone and so taking his phone...

Did Joo Won’s behaviors seem weird to Dongshik - ah he’s realized Joo Won took his phone

girl what the fuckkkkk Joo Won what?!

Is this what Joo Won meant by “I will become a monster” like what’s happening what did Joo Won do? Why did Cheol Moon wanna meet Dongshik? girl there’s 1 ep left wtf???

Ah okay I will have a guess that: Jeong Cheol Moon turning off his lights immediately after going home was strange. Maybe he was waiting for Dongshik in the darkness or maybe somebody else was there and turned it off? acc idek what guess I have beyond I doubt Joo Won actually killed him, thus the ‘it seems like... i killed him’ so either somebody else killed Cheol Moon and was trying to frame Dongshik perhaps. or maybe Joo Won is gonna have Cheol Moon in hiding not dead - that’ll get him out of Han Gi Hwan’s hair for the time being. idkidk Also Joo Won and Dongshik stared at each other for sooo long in that last scene, what were you communicating?! tell meeee

Ep 16: To Catch/Hold - 잡다 (Feb 9)

Badmouthing somebody and then calling them and having the phone ringing from your shower is so horrific lmfao

Whose phones is Jin Lee trying to frame

Okay, I was confused about the timeline of the text but it makes more sense now. Jin Lee texted Dongshik with an unknown number (JCM is used by Jin Lee or the father and that was in the text) before Cheol Moon arrived home and that’s he was killed and Jin Lee put the phone that texted Dongshik on the sink to show that Dongshik was brought there and then killed him. Wonder what the other phone is for though

Dongshik talking about Joo Won like that’s his lover

naurrrr Joo Won’s Lady Macbeth type washing the blood from his hands

“I don’t like other people in my home” “You don’t like other people in your home but you entered mine so boldly?”

So Jin Lee left his cellphone that he used to text Nam Sang Bae, which he also used to text Dongshik to come to JCM’s house, along with Nam Sang Bae’s phone.

ah they’re framing it as Cheol Moon killing Nam Sang Bae and committing suicide and also previously tried to frame it like Dongshik killed Cheol Moon, they’re really tryna get as many birds with one stone huh

6179 was the number of Han Gi Hwan’s cellphone after speaking with Jin Lee, are we supposed to remember it?

girl Jin Lee had a whole wife and kid when he married Ji Hwa?!

Dongshik telling Do Hae Won about Jeong Je not really being the culprit

no what was councilwoman tryna say about Kang Jin Mook D:

bruh Dongshik and Joo Won really bet on the fact that Jeong Je would be moved and swooped in to take him away. my cool Jae Yi

okay finally we’re gonna learn bout the location of the guitar pick around Bang Joo Seon

ah Jin Mook put the guitar pick there on purpose to make them think Jeong Je killed both Yoo Yeon and Joo Seon

damn this whole time Ho Dae Won knew that the serial killer was Jin Mook and gave him the deer farm to store his victims ah

damn the Jin Mook and Ho Dae Won convo is wild

oof they left Do HaE Won out and tried to make it seem like she killed Yoo Yeon Jin Mook etc but she came out and said it was the other two oof

damn okay Prosecuter Kwon has been giving sleezy vibes this whole time (budget Kang Jin Mook who just evades some laws instead of a serial murderer) but I guess he listened to what Joo Won said

“Do you only entertain Lee Dongshik’s calls? Are you two dating?” Bro I should drop the (Bromance) and just do (Romance) like wtf

ah so I guess Dongshik got the confession that it was Han Gi Hwan from Jin Lee’s mouth

oh no Joo Won’s mother committed suicide at the hospital and his rascal father said that’s the worst escape a weak person can choose

damn Joo Won learned from Dongshik to do this ‘face the gun’ and taunt type thing but Dongshik knew you wouldn’t fucking kill him Joo Won. your father however...

the way Joo Won went to block Dongshik with his body and keep his eyes lowered is killing me so bad, my beautiful boy I wanna read about you getting [redacted]

I love Dongshik’s face every time Joo Won surprises him, like the gun shooting at the roof

About being arrested by Joo Won for messing with Min Jeong’s murder scene, Dongshik’s like “If you don’t do it, I won’t turn myself in.” like broooo why are they so special to each other ah

Joo Won’s arrest of Dongshik being so different now than previously

Linguistics: The handholding and “Joo Won-ah” and Joo Won’s tears I’m gonna crawl into a hole

(Fave) Joo Won’s crying on Dongshik’s hands that are in handcuffs while Dongshik smiles on what if I cried and died what would this show do then

yknow I’m used to looking into things like ah yes these girl besties are definitely in love and these guys are litteraly soulmates etc but now... are they tryna tell me these two are in love like idek

girl Feb 5 2021 for a second my heart skipped a beat like oh this is Feb 3 2021 I’m watching it close to the date but like uhhh it’s 2023 get your head on straight miss boy

Joo Won coming to his mother’s grave ah

if this was a BL, the choahamnida by Joo Won after the jjigae would’ve been a moment of “oh? what does he choa? could it be Lee Dongshik?”

the “Joo Won ah” instead of “Liutenant Joo Won” or “Han Joo W on-ssi” from Dongshik kills me so bad. but then Joo Won being like don’t use banmal with me lee dongshik-ssi

Joo Won going around finding people who are lost in mountains and stuff, the way Dongshik did to that girl’s father ah. that’s good but why are you guys walking awayyyyy what do you mean Joo Won didn’t visit him in prison

I wonder how I would’ve felt if I didn’t know from 2 different Explicit fics that Dongshik was in prison for a year at the end lol

I wish the ending was juuust a bit more drawn out or not given us an ‘1 year later’ because I need either a bit more of all of them together and Dongshik/Joo Won or I need none of it so that I am solely responsible for my imagination. Like to go from such such such deep emotions during Joo Won arresting Dongshik to this casual, almost detached feeling even though they clearly still care for one another is too much for me.

Overall:

Ah, 17-ish hours passed with this story and characters.

Interesting how I started the show for one reason (serial killer, who-dun-it) but after Kang Jin Mook’s capture and death, the show seemed to be like a new season but with the same overarching Yoo Yeon plot and became more about politicians and legalities. Yet, it kept me engaged.

The writing of this show was really good, I thought the unravelling was quite good and even when we were a few steps ahead of the main characters as the audience, it didn’t lose the edge and also the characters caught up quickly enough. There may be plot holes but nothing sticks out to me and that’s what’s important. The characters were also really well written and given depth. The acting is great, the directing was soooo good in some places like congrats on this cinematography and directing choices, and the music was good too.

Also, it’s director and scriptwriter are both women, which is great, especially for this type of series that focuses so much on female victims

I’ve not been feeling romance for the past few weeks but Dongshik/Joo Won did manage to give me intense brain worms. Especially because in the first half, I was more worried about the girls and catching the killer etc and they had an interesting enough dynamic then with the antagonizing but after there wasn’t An Imminent Threat in the 2nd half is when we started getting more of their dynamics and such. They seemed so fucking gay in the text, not subtext, in the last few eps, esp the last episode. I will often look at same gendered friends and be like ah they are madly in love but did this show specifically want me to think of them that way because it sure seemed like it at the end, though I will choose to believe that they will continue to be very close after the show ends and not see each other’s face once a year or something.

Very good, I think I’ll rewatch this sometime and also gonna go read fics. Rewatching will for sure be interesting as I get to see more things, like even at the very first scene, young Kang Jin Mook is seen being asked to move things

Rating: 8/10
