What is where in Beyond Evil?
I always wondered where certain locations in the show actually are and how far each of them is apart from the others. Thankfully, the scriptbook has some addresses -- partially fictional, of course -- I can work with.
1. 문주시 (Munju-si) - 파주시 (Paju-si) (*si = city)
In one of the Blu-ray features, they mention that they filmed Dong Sik's neighborhood in Paju.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
문산읍 (Munsan-eup) is part of 파주시 (Paju-si) (*eup = small town). It is easy to guess how they came up with the name "문주."
Tumblr media
문산천 (Munsancheon River) = 문주천 (Munjucheon River)?
Trivia: The house used as Dong Sik's family house is actually in 용인시 (Yongin-si), which is about 100 km away from Paju. While filming the scene where Joo Won and Dong Sik are on their way to arrest Kang Jin Mook in Ep. 8, the actors momentarily thought they should take Joo Won's car because Manyang Supermarket is in Paju. They realized, soon after, that it is only a few minutes' walk from Dong Sik's house in the show.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
2. Han Joo Won's apartment
The scriptbook says Joo Won's apartment is in 서울시 마포구 (Mapo-gu, Seoul-si) (*gu = district).
Tumblr media
According to the Naver navigation service, it would take 35~50 minutes from Joo Won's place to Manyang by car. Mind you, I enter a city hall or its equivalent in "from" or "to" for the cities that are not familiar to me, and that's what I did here. Still, it would be safe to say that it takes about 45 minutes commuting for Joo Won, maybe an hour, tops, when the traffic is bad.
3. Han Ki Hwan's house
서울시 강남구 (Gangnam-gu, Seoul-si). The scriptbook says "청암동 (Cheongam-dong)" as well, which is clearly a little tweak from 청담동 (Cheongdam-dong) (*dong = town); it is in the northern part of 강남구. It takes about an hour from here to Joo Won's place by car, but thinking of Seoul's traffic, it might take a bit longer than that depending on the time of the day.
Tumblr media
4. 서울경찰청 (Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
Tumblr media
Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency is in 서울시 종로구 (Jongno-gu, Seoul-si). It takes 25~35 minutes from Joo Won's apartment, and 45~55 minutes from Han Ki Hwan's house by car. But again, it's Seoul, so you can never be sure.
5. 옥산군 (Oksan-gun) - 옥천군 (Okcheon-gun)
옥산군 (Oksan-gun) is where Chief Nam's lakehouse is (*gun = municipality). The actual location is called 옥천군 (Okcheon-gun). It would take 3~3.5 hours from Manyang by car.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
6. 부산시 (Busan-si) & 울산시 (Ulsan-si)
In Ep. 8, Dong Sik says he and Chief Nam once arrested a culprit in Ulsan and went to Busan together to have pufferfish soup before going back to Seoul.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It takes 4.5~5 hours from Seoul to Ulsan, and another 1.5 hours from Ulsan to Busan by car. From Manyang to Busan, it would be about 5 hours by car. If you take a KTX train from Seoul Station to Busan Station, it takes about 2.5 hours.
7. 강원도 (Gangwon-do)
In the last episode, it is mentioned that Joo Won is working at a station in Gangwon-do (*do = province).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can see that it is a fairly big province. As of November 2023, there are 17 police stations in Gangwon-do. Meaning, Joo Won can be anywhere 80~250 km from Manyang. Because I am a shameless JWDS shipper who hopes that Joo Won can go see Dong Sik both in Manyang and Oksan easily, I would like to imagine Joo Won is working at the station in 원주시 (Wonju-si), which would be about 2.5 hours from either Manyang or Oksan by car.
Tumblr media
(*All estimated times are based on around 4 pm on a weekday. Of course, if one drives at dawn or in the middle of the night, it would take a much shorter amount of time.)

heyyyyy y’all… i’m peyton [sh/th, 21+, cst—also the mun of selena, hyeon, mouse & dabin] and i’m stoked to be bringing you guys another older character of mine, hwang daesung/dylan hwang. the tl;dr on dylan is that he’s a dude soooo fixated on being the life of the party that he’s actually not the life of the party at all 😓 you can view his stats here, his pinterest here and read all about him under the cut.
dylan hwang, born june 14, 1997 in santa monica, ca, usa to a rock musician/producer/blue collar worker father and a hairstylist mother :~) dylan was their first and only child and he was absolutely cherished. his parents were deeply in love, and you could tell that dylan was a product of that—a very bright, happy, confident kid who took after his father in particular.
he had an interest in music from a young age and would frequently accompany his father to his band’s practice sessions and/or studio recordings; but he didn’t only think the music stuff was cool, he also admired how hard of a worker his dad always was and how he still made time for his family and never seemed tired like…… the most he ever complained about was a headache. in dylan’s eyes, that man was a superhero!!!
also has an uncle (on his dad’s side) who’s cool as hell too; owned a record store in queens and babysat dylan often when he was little and both parents were busy. cool cool guy
but he had a harder time connecting with his mom as she was the more practical adult in his life—very much “good cop/bad cop” and unfortunately she was the bad cop, LOL. making dylan let her cut his hair whilst his dad encouraged him to grow it out, lecturing him for climbing trees in the neighborhood, no sweets before breakfast type deal like… she wasn’t evil AT ALL, just irritating sometimes lmfao
anywayyyy… TW CHRONIC ILLNESS, DEATH / when dylan was 14, his dad went to see a doctor for the aforementioned headaches he’d been having; this turned out to be a series of growths in his brain—he passed away within the same year / END TW
tl;dr dylan lost his dad in 2012, and it turns out his dad was the glue that was holding him and his mom together as well; rather than grieve and heal together, an irreparable distance grew and it definitely didn’t help that dylan was 14… the most evil age ever??? was extremely unkind to his mom, made her cry a lot, the house was silent most of the time with them even learning to have their meals at separate times
dylan really leaned into music more than ever around this time, and even more so once his mom realized she couldn’t pay the bills on her own and needed to go back to south korea and live with her parents for a while; dylan was extremely americanized by this point and didn’t speak korean on a native level, so he felt isolated as all hell in seoul—luckily his uncle richie moved to seoul along with them to stay close to dylan so at least he wasn’t stranded in unfamiliar territory with no one who he felt like he could lean on
his mom’s parents gave her a small loan to start her own salon in jongno-gu and richie relocated his music store to the nakwon musical instrument arcade, where it still is today; needless to say, they adjusted surprisingly quickly and, in a way, dylan felt like he was the only one still grieving and consequently was being left behind (which is not true but yk he was an angsty teenager)
had a lot of sadness and frustration with nowhere to go, and from about 15 to 18 he was a problem child :( picking fights, treating the people around him like shit, getting kicked out of school, etc etc
but around 18 he got a very humbling reality check and has been striving to be better ever since/striving to be someone his dad would be proud of—his relationship with his mom is still quite complicated because, like i mentioned before, he ended up getting kicked out of school which was NOTTTT cool… eventually got his ged, but. should not have happened that way. and she’s consistently asked him to pursue something other than music with his life as she doesn’t want to watch him waste his life chasing a pipe dream, but that remains the only thing that he really wants to do; he does help out at her salon on occasion and she talks about how she wishes he would come on full-time so they could spend more time together and she wouldn’t spend all day worrying about him, but 🤷‍♂️ he really doesn’t want to cut hair for the rest of his life. mostly nice to her now, but never gave her a proper apology for the fucked up shit he said to her before/the way that he treated her, and is still prone to lashing out when she gets on his nerves—familiarity breeds contempt type vibe.
after he was kicked out of school, he started working for his uncle richie at his music store as a sales associate; is still there to this day, but has job-hopped quite a bit over the years… richie always takes him back when he inevitably quits or gets fired. nowadays, he’s operating as a sales associate/instrument and record player repair tech/halfass assistant store manager like… what does he not do? he acts like he owns the place.
started a band in 2019, tentatively called both haze and through the haze (sounds like: silica gel, thornapple) depending on who you’re asking. a psychedelic rock band with a bunch of random ass influences; slow start, but they’ve been gaining a fair bit of traction recently. not quite known internationally, but most people in the jongno-gu area know the name and they play shows in the area often, as well as being invited to perform at independent rock festivals throughout the year. still…. the band’s not paying the bills, so 🤷‍♂️ they can’t quit their day jobs yet…
here he is now: a 26 (almost 27) year old man still doing the same shit he was doing 5 years ago, seemingly at a standstill in life. personality-wise, he’s very kind and humorous—forever trying to make up for the jackass that he was as a teenager, feels the best when he’s making people smile or laugh. treats everyone he encounters like they’re special to him in some way, “because they are”. much more intelligent than he’s given credit for, but lives as a piece of comedic relief instead of letting his skills (beyond music) show. absolute party animal, can outdrink anyone and can go for hours; hosts a lot of afterparties following haze’s shows, so stop by if you’re looking for a good time. a candle burning at both ends, but if you don’t look too close, you can’t tell; has an alcohol problem, but 🤷‍♂️ claims that it “comes with the territory” and “is no big deal”. friendly, well-meaning guy who never made peace with his grief and has to be fucked up to feel good, and no matter what levels of success he reaches, it never feels good enough. like i said before, he treats people like they’re special but fails to maintain meaningful relationships as he runs from commitment in any form and wants to know a lot of people a little bit rather than know a few people really good. lonely lonely man.
plot ideas
i always say this, but: i love extensive plotting, so if you're trying to discuss all the little details and build a strong storyline together, i'm your girl! however, i'm also 100% game to get a loose idea together, jump in and see how it develops. that said, here are some small ideas:
naturally, dylan's band members. the band has been around since 2019, but the current members do not have to be original. if/when these spots are taken, i would like to get together and discuss the band's dynamic as a whole as well! currently seeking: bassist, lead guitarist, drummer.
a friend around dylan's age (born '96 to '98 ideally) who he met when he first moved to seoul in 2013. they've been friends for 11 years now, so this is someone who knows dylan better than anyone else in his life, and his #1 supporter but also his biggest critic - they see how toxic/unhealthy his behavior is and call him out on his bs, which quite frankly scares him LMFAOOOO so maybe there's a little distance between them now that's never been there before? let's figure out the details together
musicians who often come to spins & needles for things like guitar strings, picks, cords, various music equipment, etc etc... connections he's made this way who don't have their own band, but sometimes fill in if a member of haze is unable to play a show? connections who DO have their own band and sometimes open for haze or vice versa? jam session buddies, young/budding musicians who think dylan's way cooler than he actually is, someone who just really loves music and drops in to chat the shit with dylan.
an ex-girlfriend, probably someone introduced to dylan by his mom as she used to frequent his mom's salon. they dated for a while, but dylan wasn't serious about her/wasn't willing to settle down at the time while she was wanting a partner who could be husband material. sorry!
a random ass eclectic friend group... people who have absolutely nothing in common with dylan, but they have a great time together anyway.
party friends, and ultimately, bad influences on each other - constantly pushing each other's limits, waking up with gnarly hangovers and doing it all again the next night. perhaps these are friends who dylan will grow apart from throughout his development as he tries to steer away from drinking, but that's a bridge to cross in the future!!!
let him have his christopher wilde (from starstruck, for those who don't know) moment... someone who doesn't like him/has been talking shit about how he's "pretentious" or whatever and now he's fixating on making them change their mind. "you don't like me? but you don't even know me.. i think... i think if you knew me, you would really like me" monologue type beat.
etc etc etc... open to anything!!!

⸻ 𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐇𝐘𝐔𝐍𝐁𝐈𝐍 ( 𝟫𝟪𝟣𝟤𝟤𝟧 )
hi, i'm bear, the mun behind son hyunbin (bin). here you can find his profile and bio, and beneath the cut are some shorter facts about him that might come in useful for plotting. you can also find me brain-dumping about him on twt @buttercupful. i also have discord so if you'd prefer to plot there just ask!
[ tw: death, car accidents, ptsd ]
⸺ HISTORY
hyunbin was born and raised in jongno-gu, seoul on christmas day 1998, to a general practitioner and a middle school teacher
he's the eldest of three children—he had two younger sisters, however the elder of the two is deceased
hyunbin had a very standard childhood, did relatively well in school, and was very active and sociable. he always had an interest in movies and tv shows, but never thought about pursuing it acting
due to wanting a bit more freedom and to 'get it out of the way', he learnt to drive early and got his license as soon as he turned 18, however only about 2 months later he was in a terrible accident (deemed entirely not his fault) that resulted in his little sister's death. despite it being the other drivers fault, hyunbin blamed himself
he suffered terrible guilt and ptsd centered around cars, busy roads, loud noises, and hospitals that he still struggles with to this day, and to try and 'escape' his grief he joined the military after a pretty rough first semester at college studying PPEL (philosophy, politics, economics & law) at hangyang university
during his military enlistment he mostly blocked out his grief and focused hard on performing well in his time there, but was left feeling lost, as well as emotionally and mentally vulnerable after his discharge
he returned to university and started seeing a grief counselor, and got a part-time job at a bakery
due to feeling extremely lost and unsure, and upon a random comment from a friend who said he could be an idol because 'he's handsome', he auditioned for legacy ent. on a whim in january of 2021—to his great surprise, he got in
in the years since he's graduated from university, continued working at the bakery, and developed a strong interest in acting and modelling, having figured out he's perhaps not cut out for the dancing part of being an idol
⸺ PERSONALITY
hyunbin's a man heavily 'turned inwards'. his inner world is complex, and is a place he often escapes to to calm himself, or focus his mind
he's often been called an 'old-soul', and was praised as being 'mature for his age' when he was a child
he can come off initially as somewhat of a mystery—while not shy, nor particularly quiet, he tends to be more private about what he shares, and has a way with getting people to open up to him, without giving much of himself back
hyunbin's the type of person to chip away at problems stubbornly for as long as it takes to work through them—he's a stranger to giving up
it can sometimes feel as though bin's unknowable, yet warm and inviting at the same time
he can be a bit of a perfectionist, and in turn that leads to him being hard on himself, which is compounded by the guilt h still feels over the accident when he was 18
hyunbin tends to gravitate towards men as friends, and has always been a bit of a 'mans man', due to his 'masculine' interests, but isn't outright against making friends with women, especially as he was very close to his sisters growing up
hyunbin enjoys sports, and keeping active, although his job at the bakery and regular gym sessions keeps him physically fitter than most other me his age, especially in his upper body (thanks to carrying sacks of flour) and he uses exercise to work through issues he still has from the accident

The restored bow clothes sponsored by BTS RM will be unveiled for the first time in Korea. Bow clothes refer to wedding clothes worn by royal women such as princesses and Ongju during the Joseon Dynasty. The National Palace Museum will hold a special exhibition, "Full of Hwarves, Joseon Royal Women's Wedding Clothes," and will showcase a total of 110 related artifacts, including those found in their original form, thanks to RM's donation. Among them, the bow clothes owned by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in the U.S. are donations made by RM for two consecutive years, and they were introduced to Korea for the first time after recently being preserved. RM said, "I hope it will be an opportunity for many people around the world to enjoy beautiful and excellent Korean traditional culture." The exhibition runs from September 15th to December 13th, and more information can be found in Eyes Magazine. Big Hit Music / LACMA
📍 Special exhibition room on the 2nd floor of the National Palace Museum, Hyoja-ro 12, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

hey y’all! i’m peyton [sh/th, 21+, cst—also the mun of mouse, dabin, dylan & hyeon] and here i am with little miss people-pleaser, selena palacio. you can view her stats here, her pinterest here & read all about her under the cut! ps please hit me up on discord for plotting @ #seamonkeydefender
born february 9, 2001 in buffalo, ny, usa to a blue collar father and a stay at home mom; both originally from mexico, but they had emigrated to america a few years prior.
selena is a product of love & it shows—her parents adored her entirely; as a kid, she never had any real reason to fuss because she had everything she ever could’ve wanted (minus a sibling, LOL). her family was far from rich, but she was spoiled rotten regardless, never ever ever had to go without.
in selena’s early childhood, her father temporarily moved to seoul to assist in opening a new branch for the company he was working for. this lasted about 4 months, things were fine, great even, and then a few years down the line, he’s invited to PERMANENTLY relocate to seoul to operate as the branch’s manager. it was a huuuuuge pay raise, so 🤷‍♂️ he took the offer and the lil’ family of three moved to korea. selena was about 7 at the time.
yada yada yada... tl;dr: with her brain still being nothing but a sponge, selena picked korean up quite quickly and adjusted to the move well (her mother, on the other hand, did not; more on this later) / @ the time of their move, s. korea was still pretty homogenous so naturally the three of them had to get used to getting weird ass looks which was tough but if there's one thing selena palacio knows how to do, it's Adapt! / hatches into a social butterfly, type of gal who can make a friend anywhere she goes; also speaks for her parents from a young age as her dad is still learning korean and her mama doesn't give enough of a damn to try / smart girl, does well in school and participates in the student govt and such in high school / graduates, doesn't know what she wants to do with her life rly so she gets on her (prospective) school's website and takes the 'Find Your Major!' quiz which gives her clinical pharmacology for some reason unbeknownst to her and it's as simple as that really... / now approaching the end of her bachelor's program at skku, working full-time at a pharmacy in jongno-gu and attending evening classes while also balancing her 500 blind dates a week like... This Is The Story Of A Girl.
as it stands, she's been in s. korea for about 15/16 years; she and her parents have acquired citizenship through naturalization and will likely carry out the rest of their lives here, despite both mom and dad actually wanting to go back to mexico to be with their families again </3
other info: 100% fluent in korean and views seoul as her home, but is used to being approached as if she's a tourist or "clueless foreigner"—it gets old, but what's she gonna do? not shit. grin and bear it, really / extremely compassionate, will give anything she has (even if it's the last of what she has) to someone in need / currently on "probation" @ her pharmacy job 'cause she keeps covering the copay costs for these old ass people who come in like... they shouldn't be paying in her opinion! / girl's girl, loves women and treasures friendships with other girlies / clingy, likes to be in the company of someone else at (almost) all times / unfortunately her anti-feminism mom instilled it into her head that she has to be "pretty" before going out and beauty is what earns respect so she Will Not Be Caught Slipping, does a full face and puts on nice clothes just to go run errands / not insecure except maybe she is / craves male validation like crazy which is not very girlboss of her but she's working on it!

Hi, everyone! I'm Nino, thank you for including me in your world! I offer to you a rarity in South Korea's entertainment industry: an openly gay icon. His name is An Daeul. Please protect him at all costs, even if he says he doesn't need it...
Native to Jeju Island, he relocated to Seoul post-enlistment, and has been working as a beauty professional ever since; largely in makeup artistry, to an exceptionally impressive celebrity clientele, at that. In 2022, he was a contestant on South Korea's first-ever gay dating TV series, "My Man." His appearance on the show earned acclaim from viewers, and his popularity (and connections via his clients) launched him a career in the entertainment industry. He still does makeup, but mostly on his web variety series, DAEUL DAZE (다울데이즈). He also models, endorses brands across his platforms, and spends a lot of time in Itaewon-dong and Jongno-gu.
If you know you know.

It's easy for An Daeul to win you over. Just one look at him will disarm you. It'll leave you wondering how a man can be so beautiful. He's as if Venus were a man, and his energy is the same. It's infectious. He is so open with himself, and his warmth rivals that of the sun, and god, is it inviting... it pulls you in like a hug you didn't know you needed. The way he speaks is poetic, and direct, and he can be any man's ideal lover, even without exerting much effort. He's a flirt, even if he doesn't care to admit that. He doesn't see it as flirting, but more as being open and honest with his affections.
However, the downside to being so desirable is that it's easy for him to let it go to his head, and it's just as easy for him to break the hearts of the men he becomes involved with. Relationships, for him, begin and end rather quickly, and his love comes at people full-force; like a ram that's charging toward you with all of its might, ready to take you down. He can be aggressive when it comes to romance, competitive too, but his verbiage sugarcoats it in a sweetness that's signature to him and only him. It's not easy to dislike, or even hate him.
One thing is for certain about him, though. There is no one who loves love more than An Daeul. He can infuse any and every scenario with romance, even the most murky and dire ones. He's often the picture of optimism in this way, but that isn't always received well. Though, please be warned if you try and pin him down. While his feelings for his lovers are always authentic and deep, he has a wandering eye, and catches new crushes quickly. An Daeul isn't for the faint of heart.
~
If you'd like to connect with him, it's generally rather simple. I prefer to brainstorm for plotting-purposes, so if you're interested, please like this post. Thank you for reading!
