A Killer Paradox

Darkly humorous, violent, and never boring, A Killer Paradox is a morality thriller like no other. What begins as a comedy of errors and morphs into a deep detective thriller, it's one of the finest series on Netflix. But more important, it showcases actor Choi Woo-shik's talent and his ability to tackle dynamic characters.

While A Killer Paradox rewards its audience with moments of epic comeuppance, its the way the series complicates the straightforward theme that makes it standout.

This show is really worth watching. The plot is super unique and interesting. It keeps me hooked, with lots of exciting, intense, and also some dark comedic undertones. Although, I'll say, the story kinda dragged in the middle and it got somewhat dull for a while before getting back on track.

The cinematography is also well done. Particularly noteworthy are some scenes that are captured in long one-take shots. The editing choice to sometimes cut back and forth between different times also makes it more fun and engaging to watch.

The actors are great. They play the characters' emotions well, especially the two male leads.

While there are some predictable moments in the story, they don't detract from the overall experience. Extremely recommended.

Love the new and innovative ways of this series. A testament to the evolving Korean creativity in entertainment, I really loved the dark humour yet exploration of morals as well as the art house style of this series. Choi Woo Sik plays his character in an excellent way, all of a sudden thrown into the depths of murder and life unfolding in the most unexpected ways his acting in his confusion of it all is great ! The only disappointment I felt with this series was Son Suk ku, I felt his acting was kind of lazy, I did not feel him to be the go getter detective that they say he is. The nerdy mastermind behind the murders was also a really great character in this series. I feel it is well worth a watch.

"A Killer Paradox" is Netflix's latest Korean crime drama series. It features a protagonist with a unique crime-fighting ability. Some are approaching this with high expectations due to the caliber of past roles by the two leads, Choi Woo Shik and Son Suk Ku, but it might be best to temper your expectations. It's mostly entertaining, exploring ethical dilemmas related to justice, guilt, and innocence, but seems to be missing the extra something (maybe emotional impact) that the top shows in this genre possess.

The show is generally fast-paced and combines suspenseful storytelling, psychological thriller elements, and grimy action. The narrative is at times non-linear and gradually unveils layers, keeping the audience engaged and guessing. It is more plot and mystery driven and doesn't invest as much into character development as many Korean dramas do. As a result, it's not as easy to sympathize with the characters.

The production quality stands out, with meticulous attention to detail in set design and cinematography. The cast delivers compelling performances. This is a thought-provoking addition to the crime drama genre.

How do I explain this? It is supposed to be a crime drama but it was really funny! Seriously, brilliantly written and directed! 5 stars 💫 from me!

If you love crime shows then you will love this series. I absolutely gobbled it and binged it without a break!!!

Elite level of screenplay and edits.

There's language options so you won't be missing anything.

Woo sik's baby face is such a contradiction to his character. You won't be bored. Every scene has something important. You will get attached to the characters and simply cannot resist the episodes. I binged it and I am in awe of the writers, there better be a season 2!!!!
