A Killer Paradox, an upcoming Netflix series, is causing quite a stir with its unique storyline and impressive cast. I am a personal fan of both lead actors and have never seen Choi Woo-shik, who you might remember from his work on Parasite, embody a character like this one. And at the same time, after watching the images shared by Netflix Korea and the trailer, it’s so him.

The Hangul writing of the title is 살인자ㅇ난감

The show is a South Korean comedy-thriller, packed with crime, darkness, suspense, and some quirkiness here and there. The perfect kind of formula for a good watch. It was directed by Lee Chang-hee and written by Kim Da-min. It’s based on the Korean Naver webtoon with the same name which was written by Kkomabi.

From what I read, it revolves around Lee Tang, an apparently ordinary college student, played by Choi Woo shik. Lee Tang’s life takes a dramatic turn when he accidentally murders a serial killer.

Imagine that! 🤯

You can tell me in the comments what you would do if something like this had happened to you. ➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️

This traumatic experience leads him to discover his unique ability to identify evil people. The discovery triggers a transformation in him…
