Psychopath Diary

The movie perfectly combine the tragic life of a staff of a security/stock broker and scary life a psychopath in hilarious way. I had never seen this kind of movie. Usually when a movie focusing in psycho then it will be filled serious and thrilling feel. On contrary if a movie trying to mock the psycho then it will be filled with fun and stupidity. But this movie could keep the balance of thrilling and fun.

I had to idea what to expect but was surprised with how good this was. The male lead delivered an outstanding performance -- in a couple of series I've seen him play characters with personality disorders or several characters at once, and he always delivers.

In fact, the entire cast delivers above expectations.

The plot is unique for Korean cinema, and I loved that there's no maudlin love story. The comedy works surprisingly well for such a grim story, too. The stereotypical Korean characters (screaming demon of a mother, unbearably stupid "comic relief" personages, open-mouth-eating-and-farting-middle-aged-men, and the like) are thankfully missing.

The only thing I found really frustrating was that no one asks the most obvious question. I mean, seriously, they start wondering about the most obvious thing 12 or 13 episodes in. That's the very first question I would have asked, and watching them not do this was infuriating! :)

I realize they needed it for the plot, but still.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Kdrama. What a great cast they had on this one. The main lead makes the greatest facial expressions throughout this series. It's not your typical intense thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat, it's actually more comedy in my opinion which was a great combination. I love the relationships between the leads and their families. That always makes the series so much richer. I have to say the highlight of this entire drama was Heo Sung-tae. He was absolutely hysterical the entire time. I had no idea he was so comical. I'm so used to seeing him be the tough bad guy in Kdramas which I've always loved, but his comedic timing and acting was the best part of this show for me. Thumbs up!

YSY is indeed a versatile actor! I have liked him since his Baker King era! I am hoping that the management give him more projects like this because this drama is top-tier! I like it! No dull moments because all the actors are amazing when it comes to acting!

I love how funny yet cunning the character that YSY has in this series! He fits on these kinds of genres and hoping to see him in the screen again!

Is there any movies or series like this that you can recommend? I need to watch a movie or series like this again!

YSY, PSH, JIS, and the others need to be in the same drama again! I am eager to watch them again on screen!

" Psychopath diary " blended the genres of comedy and thriller so well that the drama was entertaining till the very ending.

First of all, kudos for not adding romance in this one. The relationship of the main character and the leading lady was pretty great, with nice chemistry and amazing dynamics. Their pairing was pretty clever and entertaining.

The performances were fantastic too. Especially the leading actor was phenomenal, and probably one of the reasons to watch this drama.

Also, the cemody elements were plenty and they kept them up till the final episodes, although, I have to admit that they were less and less as the drama progressed. The thriller and action scenes were really good too, especially the mystery-criminal case was very entertaining.

So, overall, eight out of ten.
