The next day, he goes to see detective Ma and tells him the truth, but he lies and says the body of the woman they’d been looking for is still in his house. He says he’ll confess and turn himself in for everything he helped Do-Young with.
Do-Young is told Beom-Jae made a statement and he’ll likely take the fall, so he asks his righthand man to kill the Family Gang and also Dong Soo.
When detective Ma calls Dong Soo back and tells him he cannot arrest Do-Young just like that, he lies and says Do-Young is moving Yang Ho’s body and its inside his residence. If they catch him the act of trying to dispose of the body, they have a case so the detective goes there.

“Evillive” finale review
I think we can all collectively agree that Dong Soo is CARAZYYYYYY. What was that?
Omg, he’s truly ruthless, nearly as ruthless as Do young if not more.
I mean its one thing when you know you crazy but its another when you try to justify your crazy behavior. That’s a different level of mental gymnastics.
I kinda expected this ending, and knew Beom-Jae would die.
I am surprised he didn’t mention his daughter in his last speech, I mean I would guess you’d think about your daughter not your sociopath brother who just killed someone in front of you, but what do I know.
I felt Beom-Jae was going to die and serve as a punishment for Dong soo in some sense, but at this point, Dong soo is gone. Money transformed him into what he really was and its ugly.
Overall, I liked this drama.
Young Kwang performance as the bad guy has no dull moment, even though I just saw him playing a villain, I don’t mind him playing a villain again in his next work. That’s how entertaining he is.
Jae Ha does great as per usual and he makes a good team with Ha Kyun who is always on his A game, you can never go wrong with picking Ha Kyun, he always gives 110%, its as if he’s giving his final performance each time he performs.
A great drama overall.
