Best Drak Thriller
Beyond Evil is the best dark thriller k-drama. No wonder this won the best drama, best actor and best screenplay in the prestigious Baeksang Arts Awards. Shin Ha-kyun's acting made me speechless. I don't know if I have seen such great acting except from Goblin's Gong Yoo. The character was hugely conflicted and Shin Ha-kyun made it absolutely flawless. The plot is intriguing, violent, fresh and exciting. Yeo Jin-goo proved that he is one of the best young actors. The bromance between Shin Ha-kyun (Lee Dong Shik) and Yeo Jin-goo (Han Ju Won) was a treat to watch. Both being police officers, try to find out the hidden crimes that are being continued for years. I will not give any spoiler but the story circles around a girl's fingers being found in a wooden table. This resembled a killing 20 years back whose main suspect was Shin Ha-kyun (Lee Dong Shik) which made the case more interesting as 20 years later the main suspect again becomes Lee Dong Shik despite being a police officer. The plot and writing is excellent. You will not see a K-drama as flawless as Beyond Evil. If you are still unsure, just start watching and you will pat yourself for making the right choice. It is surely the best K-drama of 2021, without a shade of doubt. And the best actor of 2021 is undoubtedly Shin Ha-kyun.
