Beyond Evil episode 8: in which Dong-shik and I wish he had spent less time getting elbow-deep in kimchi and checked the largest pot instead.
I’m glad we find out why Jin-mook killed Bang Ju-seon, the women in Busan and, finally, Min-jung. It isn’t terribly interesting – he’s just another tosser who refuses to see women as human beings and thinks he has the right to “punish” them – but at least it is straightforward and doesn’t glamourise the violence. And it’s good to see Dong-shik and Joo-won starting to warm to each other. Like Humph in Casablanca, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
But I wish there had been more of Min-jung and Jae-yi’s mum. Did JM just bump into Jae-yi’s mum one night and kill her? Was she really doing sex work after her husband’s death? As for MJ, all we’ve seen of her is a drunk, rebellious teen. But she was the only person who had noticed that JM was putting on an act for Manyang. What was life with JM like? If she had been more than ordinarily unhappy, why hadn’t any of her loving friends noticed?
Anyway, now that someone has passed Jin-mook a handy length of fishing line while the latter is in custody, we’re back to suspecting anyone who is a cop or has connections to cops. In the flashbacks, Jin-mook’s habitually downcast eyes gazed at shoes as well as wagging fingers, but did he really chop off the fingers AND bag and beribbon the feet all by himself? And could someone please explain why Ji-hwa’s ex-husband keeps muttering asides in what sounds like Russian?
