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 remember seeing ads for this and being intrigued but didn't take action to know more about it. But with the circumstances now, I had so much time on my hands that I decided to give this a try.
I was not disappointed.
The cast was enjoyable and each one made an impression on me. The story flows nicely and kept me hooked and wanting more even if it was 3am and I had to wake up early the next day.
There isn't any romance in this which is great because that'll just become very unnecessary and cliché. So for all those who are sick and tired of seeing romance in every kdrama ever, I'd totally recommend Psychopath Diary.
The comedy aspect of this show is top notch and has made me smile like a madman a few times. Dark comedy? Just my cup of tea.
OST was fantastic. Especially the part at the end where In Woo and Dong Sik faced off. Plus the acting? Awesome.
Main lead is very lovable. The way Yoon Shi Yoon acted had a way of making me sympathise with him and now I'm obsessed. And can I also say Dong Chan is so precious I want him as my younger brother too.
Anyways, this is a must to watch. Definitely THE drama that sparked my interest in the thriller genre.

Wow, this show was completely different from anything I was expecting. I picked this up after watching Strangers From Hell, thinking it would be similar. While there were some similar themes, this show was definitely a comedy through and through. While the plot deals with some serious scenes, it balances it out with the comedy perfectly, creating enough tension to push the story line forward without losing its playful heart. I absolutely fell in love with Dong-Sik's character, and Bo-Kyung was the perfect partner for this crazy duo. The writing was awesome and there were never any boring moments. I also really enjoyed the homage's to some great movies like The Shawshank Redemption and American Psycho among many many others. I highly recommend this!
Best comedy drama if you like comedy drama must watch.i watched and complete it really good drama.
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!
