Actors Yeo Jin-gu and Shin Ha-kyun are set to show off their intense chemistry in the new crime thriller series, Beyond Evil.
Led by director Shim Na-yeon, whose work includes the teen series, At Eighteen, the new series revolves around two detectives ― Yeo and Shin ― trying to solve a serial murder case in a small town. It was written by Kim Soo-jin, who also scripted the crime thriller series, Mad Dog.
JTBC’s “Beyond Evil” has released a new teaser video!
“Beyond Evil” is a psychological thriller starring Yeo Jin Goo and Shin Ha Kyun as two men who are willing to break the rules and the law in their pursuit of a serial killer. The drama asks, “Who is the monster? Is it you? Is it me? Is it us?” The drama is helmed by director Shim Na Yeon, who worked on “Moments of 18” and “Han Yeo Reum’s Memory,” and written by scriptwriter Kim Soo Jin, who penned “Mad Dog.”
Shin Ha Kyun plays Lee Dong Shik, a former detective in the violent crimes division who has been demoted to a sergeant at a local police station. His life is turned upside down again when he reencounters an old serial killer case that shook up his world 20 years ago. Yeo Jin Goo plays Han Joo Won, an elite detective who comes down to the local police station in Manyang with a secret and becomes the partner of Lee Dong Shik.
