I know many raved about Shin Ha-kyun’s performance in BEYOND EVIL and de deserves all the accolades. For me however, I think the edge goes to Yeo Jin-goo’s performance. Honestly I had not seen much of YJG’s work but before BE I thought his best work had to be episodes 7&8 in THE CROWNED CLOWN. I think (in toto) he surpassed himself in BEYOND EVIL. Just wonderful. He has a certain maturity/gravitas about him. If I recall correctly in BE at age 23 in rl he was playing a character that was supposed to be 27 (I think.).
I agree – I thought YJG was phenomenal in BE, and the way he and SHK played off each other was extraordinary. He’s been on my radar since I saw him when he was 13 in Giant, and I went “who is this kid and why is he so talented?”.

Day 14 – Most memorable scene
The scene in the last episode of Beyond Evil after the Big Bad is arrested. If you watched, you know which one I mean.

I wouldn’t want to choose between them, and they played off each other so well.

Certain actor combos are magic and this was one of them.
