Question re: Nam Sangbae’s murder—

I never really noticed this detail before, because when the scene pans to his already dead body, it was already on the ground—

But then I always assumed that because Changjin was heading to the sea, that he was going to dispose of Sangbae’s body there—

And when I went back and watched the reveal of Changjin as Sangbae’s murderer, I realized he was walking away from the sea without Sangbae’s body, which means it’s already presumed that he already threw Sangbae’s body to the sea—

And I realize—that’s what Joowon came upon as soon as he arrived there? Sangbae’s body out at sea?

And I realized that’s why he was soaking wet? Because it wasn’t raining?

But because—he jumped into the sea to desperately try and recover Sangbae’s body?

And that’s how Dongsik found him—hunched over and shivering from the cold and crying over the body he failed to save in time—just by a hair’s breadth?

And I realize—this is again a horrifying, heartbreaking mirroring and parallelism between Dongsik and Joowon, because this, what Joowon experienced in failing to save Sangbae in time, is exactly what Dongsik experienced with Lee Sangyeob?

And both Sangbae and Sangyeob made the reckless decision to go after the perpetrator on their own—at the cost of their own life?

That flashback to Lee Sangyeob makes all the more sense now. Narratively, the same thing was happening all over again—this time, with Joowon.

My god.

But I didn't know. I didn't even listen. I… I was just a coward. I was shortsighted. I really was the son of a bitch.

Beyond Evil Trivia: Lee Dongsik never killed Song Jiho

I’m glad this was clarified, because even though it was somehow “accepted fact” in the fandom that Song Jiho—the murderer of Lee Sangyeob—was killed by Dongsik, in the show this was actually never explicitly confirmed, even though it was in the initial script.

In the final iteration of the story—and with what I imagine was writer Kim Sujin’s careful consideration of the real victims and families she interviewed—Song Jiho’s fate was left completely vague because they didn’t want to promote the agenda of personal revenge or advocate the pursuit of vengeance.

From a character standpoint, this also makes the most sense to me because I don't think Dongsik would be the kind of person to actually kill someone, no matter his deep-seated hatred, just because he is at his core a good person, whom (as his surrogate family in Manyang always say) had to endure a lot of suffering.

He has never, in my opinion, seemed to me the kind of person who would give up his morals in pursuit of his own vindictive vengeance. Because if he was, then he should've already went down that path 21 years ago, when he was not only wrongly accused, but physically beaten into submission by actual police officers—Nam Sangbae included.

Granted, it's a different, immediate trauma to actually witness someone you care for die in front of you with what happened with Lee Sangyeob (with every other person he loved whom he lost, he only experienced it after the fact: his sister, his parents, Minjeong, Sangbae).

But as we've seen with how he acted in finding Minjeong's fingers and finally piecing all the clues together and realizing that the serial killer is in fact his pseudo-brother he trusted for 20 years, he had never succumbed to personal vengeance. He isn't as clear-minded as Joowon in taking steps to act, but he isn't as prone to letting his emotions free reign either. His actions with Kang Minjeong's fingers showed that clearly: he still set out with a plan of his own.

In the actual storytelling of Beyond Evil as well, I had never once thought that Dongsik killed Song Jiho for several logical reasons:

1) When it was revealed that he was demoted from the RIU, the reason that was repeatedly given was that he could not explain the death of his partner, Lee Sangyeob. That was the only reason. If he had killed Song Jiho, or at least when Song Jiho had been found dead at the scene, that would've been one of the major reasons why he was demoted. Therefore, Song Jiho did not die.

2) At the very least, Song Jiho was rescued at the last minute. When you watch Episode 7, you can already hear the sirens of the ambulance wailing while Dongsik was already beating up Song Jiho, so the paramedics would've already arrived at the scene shortly after. Lee Sangyeob had already died prior so they couldn't save him, but the paramedics would've arrived just in time to save Song Jiho.

3) The whole point of Dongsik’s character is that he’s someone who still bravely powered through life despite being wrongly accused as a murderer. He’s not going to turn around and suddenly prove the accusations right.

If for nothing else, he’s stubborn enough to fight the system precisely by proving them all wrong. He was stubborn enough to keep his silence in protecting Lee Sangyeob’s dignity even after his death, and he paid the price in being demoted. He’s fighting the system precisely by continuously defying them—and proving them wrong.

Him becoming a murderer would have only proved them right.

(As a side note: I actually addressed this in my fic here, which I'm glad to see now that my deductions were closer to canon. I could have never believed Dongsik capable of killing anybody.)

[vindicated-truth]

The most shattering evil can actually be borne from love—too much of it.

When you love someone too much, you choose that person over everyone else—to the detriment and suffering of everyone else.

Jihoon protected Jeongje because he’s his friend. Jihwa protected Jihoon because he’s her brother. Do Haewon protected Jeongje because he’s her son. Jeongje and Jihwa protected Dongsik because he’s their friend. Dongsik protected Jeongje because he’s his friend. Dongsik protected Lee Sangyeob because he’s his partner. Nam Sangbae protected Dongsik because he’s his surrogate son. Cho Gilgu protected Lee Kangja because she’s his wife.

They all had reasons to keep secrets, all with supposedly good intentions, but in the process of protecting the person they love, they also prolonged everyone else’s suffering precisely because they kept denying the truth.

The truth that could’ve set everyone free if only they owned up to it at the very beginning.

It’s why Joowon, as the outsider, is the one anomaly that came to Manyang: because he was the one person who had no loved one to protect—and no one to love him in return—he had nothing to lose in uncovering the truth.

Until he met Dongsik.

And even at the end of it, despite how he finally learned how to genuinely care for someone else (and be cared for in return), his strict moral compass dictated that he do what is right—even when it broke his heart.

Joowon is the anomaly in Manyang in that he was the one person who did not let love get in the way of truth and justice.

And in doing the right thing, in adhering to the truth, despite all the sacrifices he had to make to reveal that truth—he finally set ALL of them free.

And it shook him to his core, finally understanding love, and understanding that the consequence of finally learning to love someone is knowing you’re going to have to hurt them if you’re going to do what’s right.

so sexy of beyond evil to present us with a creepy spooky serial killer and then turn around and say that's not it. real monsters aren't hiding in the shadows. they're among big important cops, local politicians, sleazy businessmen. they're your co worker, your boss, your father, your mother, your ex. they're boring, bland and unimaginative. they ruin lives and get away with it because they can, because it suits them and because others let them. the system lets them. they don't plan it, they don't look back. you're an afterthought to them. evil is obvious. evil is stupid. you want it to be clever but it's not. you want this clear split between light and shadow but there isn't one. monsters are everywhere. they don't have to hide when no one's looking

Jaesuk invited Nara and Jessi?! (proceeds to sit back and watch their hour-long talk)

LOL Although I wished Somin and Mijoo were there, this is still super awesome. XDDD
