A Killer Paradox (2024)

I did not know what to expect lol. I only knew that I was going to watch it because Choi Woo Shik and Son Suk Ku was going to be in it. From the outset, the premise hooked me with its intriguing setup. Lee Tang, an ordinary college student, finds himself in a nightmare scenario after a fatal altercation at his part-time job. The tension escalates as he grapples with the guilt and fear of his actions, only to discover a startling truth: the man he killed was a notorious serial killer. Lee Tang's journey from a guilt-ridden vigilante was portrayed with depth and nuance. I thought that his struggles and conflicts added layers of complexity to the narrative, making him quite a compelling ML to follow. SSK character added depth to this intricate web of morality and justice.

The first half was great! The storyline was sharp and kept me on edge but as it comes to the second half it became quite dull. Cast was top notch with CWS knocking it out of the park as LT. One minute you're rooting for him and then the other time you just questions him and his decisions. LOL.

This was quite a binge-worth drama. I only wished the thriller part of it was more and longer.

Good drama that could habe been much more

To be honest I was expecting much more from this drama. The first half was great it was really intense and I love the main character but after the other leads appeared the story was a bit dragging and it wasn’t so engaging. I would prefer if the drama would concentrate more on the main character Lee Tang and his retake of justice.

It is real shame as it had much more potential.
Choi Woo was great…the role of killer really suits him.

Overall it was good show, not amazing not bad.

Thriller, Entertaining!!

A_Killer_Paradox

A thin yet powerfull story plot exploring Killer's viewpoint, urge to kill and of course the chase of Finding the killer is all about this webseries.
The final episode's banger reveal and twist is definitely missing on the initial episodes and the screeplay could have been better as well.
The editor's cut is brilliant.
In some scenes where the flow of BGM score just drops suddenly is a WOW type.

Can the killings be justified if the victims are worthy of that ?
Thats director's giveaway for audience.

A good one which could have been an Amazing one.

Sensacional!!

Um excelente dorama! Um suspense perfeito!
É uma ótima história que te prende do começo ao fim. É um tipo de enredo que considero fora do padrão, e que foi super empolgante de assistir. A cada ep que passava vc passa a entender mais um pouco de como as coisas funcionam e fica ansiosa para saber de qual rumo a história vai tomar. Apesar de ser um dorama curto, consegue explicar tudo perfeitamente em 8 eps. Não deixou nada a desejar.

A cinematografia é espetacular, eu amo doramas nesse estilo e esse ficou excelente!
A atuação de todos os personagens é tão perfeita que te faz sentir todos os sentimentos junto com eles!

Por fim, recomendo muito, principalmente pra quem gosta de um Thriller, pq esse aqui eu amei!

Kill Or Be Killed!

I've only watched a few episodes so far and would binge them all if I could, but unfortunately its getting far too late.

No complaints, however.

It is well paced, there are no fillers and it gets into the nitty gritty from about 15 or so minutes in.

What could be better than that?!

This drama series is more or less about a part time working student, Lee Tang, who kills a man with a hammer near his work place (convenient store) late one night in self defence. The only witness is a blind woman and her dog only she plays dumb. Not long after the killing Lee Tang discovers on the news that the man was actually under an alias name and responsible for quite a few murders. To make it worse, however, the blind woman decides to black mail the poor lad for money and from there more and more things start to add on to make his life just that tinier bit colourful...

No OSTs have stood out for me at all or been noticed really although the sound effects used have been in the right places - perfect for the scene or situation.

I recognise the male lead from a few other drama series like Rooftop Prince (not finished watching) and some Summer one, I think. Didn't get too far into that one as it wasn't quite holding my interest.

With this drama it is quite straight forward, interesting and touches on the possibility of someone that is either about to lose their mind if not already or spiral out of control towards becoming a serial killer themselves. Too late!

I'm crossing my fingers that the remaining 6 episodes are just as enthralling with a few hanging on the edge of my chair moments.

Recommended!

Thrilling, fantastical… murder?

This was a genuinely fun watch. Even though I think they kind of liar the plot in some of the middle episodes and it seemed super compressed due to the short run time, I thoroughly enjoyed some parts a lot.

I think many of the stories of the victims of the victims of Lee Tang’s murders had their story told phenomenally, in an extremely touching way. The narrative did a great job of getting us on people’s side, getting us to see things from others perspectives. Some of the stories were enough to make me tear up a little.

What I did think lost a little of v the magic was the chase sequences, simply because I think we could have embellished our fine detective with more than just a wonderful amount of facial hair. We only see the detective’s inner working mind and thoughts in the later episodes, and I would have loved to see far more of him.

Roh Bin was an interesting character. I was extremely surprised when Song Chan’s flashback sequence actually had me seeing things from his viewpoint.

All in all, enjoyable. I did thoroughly enjoy the ending sequence.

Watch Vigilante instead

This show is a recycled plot of 'Vigilante', another antihero K-drama which aired before this one. It has the same plot with Vigilante, but with different circumstances. You can expect they copy paste every single idea of Vigilante.

To be honest, the first three episodes were disappointing. I felt really bad for watching it. If I hadn't watched Vigilante, perhaps it can satisfy me.

If you wish to watch this show, try to think twice before deciding or you can try Vigilante instead. It's super boring and the writer seemed to have watched through Vigilante back and forth, given that both have identical plots. Happy watching for those who haven't watched. I will try to cover Vigilante's review next time.
