Beyond Evil (Season 1)

Beyond Evil (괴물, 2021) is a South Korean crime drama to watch online on iFILM — 16 episodes directed by Shim Na-yeon, starring Shin Ha-kyun and Yeo Jin-goo. It's the kind of slow-burn thriller where the setting itself feels like a suspect.

Senior detective Lee Dong-shik used to be the best investigator in the country. Now he's stationed at a sleepy rural post and keeps everyone at arm's length. His new superior, Han Joo-won, arrives from Seoul fresh with ambition and a father angling for a top police appointment. Then a body turns up. The method matches a killing from twenty years ago — a case that was quietly closed. Both men want to catch the killer. The harder question is which of them is hiding something first.

Beyond Evil won the Grand Prize at the 2021 Baeksang Arts Awards in two categories: best drama series and best actor for Shin Ha-kyun. Critics highlighted the unpredictable ending and the tight control of small-town atmosphere throughout. Stream all episodes of Beyond Evil (2021) in high quality on iFILM.
