It was a story about humans and human nature, defects of the legal system, morality and family relations.
"The blood is thicker than water."

A play of expressions and symbols.
The camera work was beautiful; it struck me in the very first episode.

The characters were complex and well played out.

Music really amazing not only as a use in the story, but also a in itself.

Overall, one of the best ones I've watched.

It reminded me a bit of Twin Peaks.

As in:
A new cop goes to a weird small town, in which everyone seemes to have secrets.

I'd say Beyond Evil and Twin Peaks cross eachother somewhere, but are going elsewhere.

Firstly: the story.

The link between main characters reminded me of Goblin, which If you ask me is a pretty accurate observation. In both those girl is out of luck and out of family (o.0), good-hearted and strong (in a way), while the guy is a super-being, bound to appear whenever his lady calls. Here though the stories go their separate ways. (Obviously I’m not saying there couldn’t be found more similarities).

I must say I enjoyed most of the character in the show and their relationships. The story was a nice balance of humour, drama and bits of horror.
I liked how the reason for Kong’s love wasn’t ignored. Like - we knew it all along, but it was nice that it was reminded every then and again. Also the way the love all-together was treated was very humane. I like that it was perfectly understandable why she felt the way that she did. I think it shows good writing.
I liked that Sun Mi wasn’t just all fragile; a damsel in distress. /I like her more than the Goblin FL (but maybe that’s something about me)/

And though the overalls feelings were rather positive, there are some negatives that I cannot leave out.
Something that really bothered me was the unnaturality. Which may just be the very essence of kdrama, and it’s romcom genre. Something about the theatricality. How come they have so much monologues? It just seems scenic, and kind of pretentious.

Secondly: the music. As such it wasn’t bad. But it’s not just what, but how. And I didn’t appreciate the use of the ‘main song’. The one that must play in every episode, and it must be every slightly maybe romantic situation, so that I, the viewer don’t have a doubt who is supposed to fall for each other.

As for rewatch value i must admit i don’t know. I wouldn’t watch it again, but then again i rarely do rewatch, so I don’t know.

I’m not such If you could make something out of my rambling I just felt as though that my poinys may’ve accure to someone as well.
PS: As you may’ve notice English is not my first language, so if anything feels oddly worded – not you know why.
