Journal d'un psychopath

The movie perfectly combine the tragic life of a staff of a security/stock broker and scary life a psychopath in hilarious way. I had never seen this kind of movie. Usually when a movie focusing in psycho then it will be filled serious and thrilling feel. On contrary if a movie trying to mock the psycho then it will be filled with fun and stupidity. But this movie could keep the balance of thrilling and fun.

If you are sick of the general type of kdramas, this one is like a breath of fresh air. It isn't too dark or serious, and it has a very likable underdog protagonist. One thing to note is that there isn't any outright romance. I've seen many kdramas where there is forced romance so thankfully this stayed clear of it. Yes there are a few scenes which suggest there could be something more, but its very subtle and its up for your interpretation. Great acting from the two male leads, and the female character is strong without shoving it in your face. The male and female main characters make a great duo, and their friendship is quite heartwarming. As for the humor, dark comedy isn't my type, but they made it work here. One thing that's done well is the main plot. Despite we knowing the real killer and the entire mystery already, it doesn't get boring or feel like we're just waiting for the main characters to catch up. There are lots of twists and turns, and it really hooks you in. Oh, and how could I forget the awesome bromance? Keep in mind that there is some violence and "dark" elements, but it isn't over the top.

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.

A young man suffers from amnesia after an accident He finds next to him a diary of dirty secrets of a serial killer,and believes that he is the one who wrotes,and finds the courage he missed in his past life to stand against the world

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!
