A Killer Paradox

The series is unique to me because the main lead isn't even the center of the story. Most of the time, we were in the point of view of Jang Nan Gam (Son Suk Ku). At the beginning of the episode, we were in the perspective of Lee Tang (Choi Woo Shik). After being chased by the police, we were mostly in the police's point of view. After that, it became more mysterious with the introduction of Song Chon (Lee Hee Joon), who drove the series until the end. For me, that was a unique way of writing the story, and I love it.

The plot is very fresh and interesting. I can't recall when a series or movie had such a refreshing plot, especially in Korean drama or movies where characters can sometimes feel repetitive. The switching of the point of view is truly lovely and unnoticeable. Lee Chang Hee (Director) also directed "Strangers From Hell," and it's no wonder this series turned out to be good. He really did a good job. Additionally, the first few minutes of this series have to be the best-directed sequence of all time.

The transition, THE TRANSITION. It is insanely addictive to watch how they transition from 1 scene in the past to the current scene, or from hallucination scene to reality. And how they project the future character into the past. And they did it multiple time flawlessly.

Furthermore, one aspect that many didn't talk about is the use of background music, which was really good. On top of that, the gorgeous cinematography adds to the overall experience. Let's not forget about the acting; every actor performed a marvelous job, especially Song Chon, who, in my opinion, shone the brightest in this series.

Some say that the pace became stale in the middle of the series because of the addition of two new questionable characters in Busan who were having a crisis, which I understand why it became boring. However, it picked up its pace again after that. Nonetheless, I definitely recommend it.

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.

It's a crime thriller based on webtoon, When one accidental killing leads to another, an average college student finds himself stuck in an endless cat-and-mouse chase with a shrewd detective who will stop at nothing to capture him.

Started really intriguing, After a point drama gets predictable though it has some surprising side stories in later episode, in the middle it became slow. Some convenient things for killer and accomplice.

Best parts about the drama are performances, cinematography, appropriate slow motions, interesting narrative, editing is top-notch.

Good drama for investigative crime thriller lovers. Recently similar kdrama came, named Vigilante, which was more realistic.

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.

A Killer Paradox gets better as it gets weirder. The beginning was already humorously dark, but then the plot unfolds into an even darker bizarre hero story. I initially thought that this would be an average series. I am glad I was surprised. This series sucked me in without me even noticing. Even though the genre is in the fantasy category, the dialog is well written and feels real life and genuine. The story jumps around and covers numerous sub-stories, but they all link together as the story unfolds. Choi Woo-sik gives a fantastic performance. The series is not too scary, but the viewer will definitely be drawn into the intense scenes.
