Decided to finish watching this since the wlw plotline ended in a good way after that scandal~
Overall, I enjoyed it. Yes, it was a bit messy here and there, the big twist at the end was nothing much while the old lady screaming made me skip her scenes BUT I loved the relationship all the women had in the drama; their bonds, conflicts and final outcome. I cried many times because of Han Joon (seriously, the child actor is a genius!) while my heart also warmed up by many beautiful moments.
Currently rewatching on Netflix and damn, knowing the ending (since I watched the series while airing), gives me a new perspective of the story and characters. The writer had such control over everything, it's insane. It confirms once again why I love the series and why it deserved all the awards.
Also, it's fine if some people don't like it. It's definitely not a mainstream story; slow-burn/pace, very character-driven, it leaves hints and makes you think what's going on/what will happen. Of course this doesn't mean that the exact opposite is inferior but they are definitely more easy to watch and enjoy. Anyways, let's all respect each other here, regardless of our opinions :)
I enjoyed this a lot! It wasn't perfect, but it was a series I was looking forward to every week and I think that's the most important part. I would have liked for KSA and HJW to be endgame, but I am fine with the open ending too. I am down for a S2 as well. Thank you to the cast and crew for their hard work all these months :)
i wouldn't be surprised if KJH is mad at her hubby right about now. i don't know how it is in S. Korea, but that's…
Idk how much I can trust her husband's words that it was a tough decision for her to make and play the role, since he also said that the character's struggle will be back to "normal" by the end, as well as that they, as a married couple, are against homosexuality, so I am 50/50 on it. She might be mad that he gave answers and caused this mini-scandal, not for his views which she either shares or is indifferent towards to. And it won't be difficult at all to get work: worse scandals have happened and the "stars" are back again with the support of fans. They will be fine.
but i think you need to understand that not everyone welcoming "LGBT" culture. as much as how you want everyone…
... Are you for real? Did you just say that there is nothing wrong with being homophobic? You do realize there is a fine line between "I don't like/agree with your opinion but I respect it" and "I don't accept you for who you are and will discriminate against you, even putting your life in danger"? Stop trying to cover the second one as "opinion you need to respect", because it's not an opinion; it can even cause violation of human rights and you can go to the court if someone is discriminating against you at work, for example.
Homophobia along with racism, misogynism, fatphobia, etc are real and impact negatively humans around the globe, even to the point of people losing their lives, because of this irrational fear against them. You can keep your homophobia, we don't want to hear it. It must be nice living in this world without fearing about your well-being because you were born in a group that is not targeted by hate. Let LGBTQ+ people live their lives and if you don't like it, go run or something, to let the frustration out. We are not going anywhere and we are normal :)

There is no need to understand; we live it every day in fear. If some fans want to drop this after what her husband said, they are valid. None is forcing us to watch it at the end of the day, it's pure entertainment. And yeah, homophobes can f*** off. I will never understand them and I don't want to.
I came here to check opinions and saw what happened. Disappointed but not surprised.
As others commented on this already, SK is still very conservative and homophobic. Opinions such as KJH's husband exist and even more extreme versions of it; you might even know someone like him. Nothing I haven't read or heard before, so I am "whatever" about it BUT what I am very worried about, is his comment on "going back to normal" about the whole lesbian thing.
That's why, I am putting the series on-hold, till it ends. I don't want to continue watching only to be left sad and angry over a plotline I am interested in, resulting in blatant homophobia from the writer. I will check online every week about what's happening, so when it finishes, I can at least know if I should invest again or not.
P.S.: LGBTQ+ people have rights and deserve to live. If you don't like our "lifestyle/choice", whatever you wanna call it, keep that sh*tty opinion to yourself. I don't respect homophobes, cheers!
Congratulations to all the winners! I am very pleased with the 3 awards "Beyond Evil" got, since it became one of my favourite dramas and I believe the cast and crew rightfully deserve them. Also, glad for Oh Jung Se and Jeon Jong Soo, they were amazing in their respective roles.
Yes, them awards! I am so happy for the staff and crew, they all deserve it :D I really wish I had the time for a rewatch but I am super busy with work. Congrats BE team <3
I applaud you OP for your excellent taste in K-dramas! Some of these are my favourites (Beyond Evil, Save me, Strangers from Hell) while I enjoy others a lot (Sky Castle, Sweet Home). I need to check "Penthouse" for sure. Thank you for this article :)
A beautiful masterpiece. I enjoyed every episode and it's a very well done story that you rarely see. The scriptwriter didn't left any plot holes and had absolute control; the direction was easy to follow and made the story compelling; the soundtrack was on spot and one of my favourites so far. But yes, the performances of every actor and actress, esp SHK and YJG, were phenomenal. It became one of my favourite series to date and I am so glad it got nominated in 7 categories for the Baeksang awards because it deserves all the recognition it can get. I knew I would love this from the first episode and I am glad my intuition about it proved me right at the end. "Beyond Evil" is an easy 10/10!!
LDS thought that LYY was buried there, hence he went to the deer farm and start digging with the others. OJH found…
You are welcome. I am not sure how fine you are with spoilers in order to answer those questions and tbh, I don't remember how episode 9 ended. So tell me if you want to know the whole thing or only things regarding up to episode 9.
It's building up for a great finale. I only hope that both LDS and HKW will be alright at the end :( One more week for this amazing series, I will definitely rewatch it another time.
Maybe I missed this but how did they suddenly find all those buried bodies?
LDS thought that LYY was buried there, hence he went to the deer farm and start digging with the others. OJH found a skeleton and as they made the report, the investigation started with the hypothesis that there might be more buried bodies there and they were right.
That means we should have subs after that date but here is the tricky part: ENG subs totally depend on the person/group who decide to take on this project and translate it. So it could it be wait from one week to months. Let's hope some kind soul(s) are up for the task and do god's work.
A lovely series just ended and I am so glad I got to watch it every week :) Tian and Phupha's journey was amazing and it was beautiful how two souls can connect so deep. I enjoyed the whole village setting, their daily lives and problems, how Tian changed through the villagers and the kids, became more mature and kind. Phupha also got more soft and open with the others, and he never stopped supporting Tian even when they had their arguments. It was a cozy and good-feel series as well as realistic, that will stay with me for a long time. To all the staff and crew who made this story possible, thank you! And to EarthMix who gave their best selves out there and made us cry and laugh, an even bigger thank you for your passion to bring this relationship to life <3
