Take note, Viola Davis, turns out you only need sheer luck to get away with murder. At first, I thought, "where can they possibly go from here?" when I realized how ridiculous the premise is. But before I knew it, I binged the whole thing in a day because, to my surprise, they did not repeat the first episode over and over again. The plot actually progresses in a direction I did not expect, and while "A Killer Paradox" is not a hard-boiled thriller series by any means, its campiness made it fun to watch as it fully embraces its absurd elements.

It helps that Choi Wooshik did great as the pathetic main character, Lee Tang. Other actors did well too, but I can't really pay full attention to them because I was too distracted with the directing style. Discarding the nausea-inducing shaky cams in Strangers from Hell, director Lee Changhee opted to create this weird mix of surrealism while also utilizing the type of zoom ins you would usually see in docudramas and mockumentaries. Such a weird combination, but it works with the drama's camp thriller tone.

With the tone and directing style alone, I understand that this drama is not for everyone. While it does touch on sensitive topics such as rape, "A Killer Paradox" mostly revolves around the common subject given to most anti-heroes without no-kill rules: is it morally right to be the judge, jury, and executioner all at once? Not a very groundbreaking question, as it's already been done a million times, but you can still enjoy the show for its entertainment value.
