The writer wrote this drama with the family of the victims in mind. She didn't want to show the murders explicitly nor create a drama that would make the murderer worth understanding. It's a story that is more about a serial murder's impact on the ones left behind rather than the actual serial murder/killer itself.
"I have once thought about social responsibility. I didn’t want my writing and my drama to hurt anyone living. Even if it is for those who have been waiting for their families who have disappeared for years or decades. Even if it is for the surviving families of the many victims who have actually suffered murder. I did not want to display the murder or give perpetrators a narrative of understanding. The most important goal of was to tell the story of the bereaved that no one listens to. With a voice of victims who cannot speak for themselves. While writing, it felt unrealistic so I trashed a script that had taken me a year. I decided that I would lend my ear again and begin writing once more." - Writer Kim Soo Jin of Beyond Evil
i still can't get over it. ahhhh. as i said before, story in itself is simple, but the cast, the screenplay the writing ahh fvck.. the cop duo is literally on my mind 24/7. recommend 100/10. i might just scream through out the comment for few months.
The info here is wrong, although I really wished it would have 16 episodes haha. But I just checked official sources…
Aww, 10 episodes :( But that means that the story is more compact and meaningful. So no room for error. Imo, Netflix productions tend to be higher quality (both cinematography/budget wise), so I assume this show will be given its full due.
I think the 18+ might also be violence too? The ML (LJH's role) is an ex-convict, so he might get himself into some trouble/as he might be rowdy at first. So I expect, cursing, violence, and more accurate/realistic depiction of death.
