    super hit series

    Darkly humorous, violent, and never boring, A Killer Paradox is a morality thriller like no other. What begins as a comedy of errors and morphs into a deep detective thriller, it's one of the finest series on Netflix. But more important, it showcases actor Choi Woo-shik's talent and his ability to tackle dynamic characters. Darkly humorous, violent, and never boring, A Killer Paradox is a morality thriller like no other. What begins as a comedy of errors and morphs into a deep detective thriller, it's one of the finest series on Netflix. While A Killer Paradox rewards its audience with moments of epic comeuppance, its the way the series complicates the straightforward theme that makes it standout.

    Quirky and new kind of storytelling in Korean Drama

    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.

    Must watch, binge it asap!!!

    How do I explain this? It is supposed to be a crime drama but it was really funny! Seriously, brilliantly written and directed! 5 stars 💫 from me!

    If you love crime shows then you will love this series. I absolutely gobbled it and binged it without a break!!!

    Elite level of screenplay and edits.

    There's language options so you won't be missing anything.

    Woo sik's baby face is such a contradiction to his character. You won't be bored. Every scene has something important. You will get attached to the characters and simply cannot resist the episodes. I binged it and I am in awe of the writers, there better be a season 2!!!!

    Entertaining dark comedy psychological thriller

    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.

    Grimy crime drama exploring guilt and justice

    "A Killer Paradox" is Netflix's latest Korean crime drama series. It features a protagonist with a unique crime-fighting ability. Some are approaching this with high expectations due to the caliber of past roles by the two leads, Choi Woo Shik and Son Suk Ku, but it might be best to temper your expectations. It's mostly entertaining, exploring ethical dilemmas related to justice, guilt, and innocence, but seems to be missing the extra something (maybe emotional impact) that the top shows in this genre possess.

    The show is generally fast-paced and combines suspenseful storytelling, psychological thriller elements, and grimy action. The narrative is at times non-linear and gradually unveils layers, keeping the audience engaged and guessing. It is more plot and mystery driven and doesn't invest as much into character development as many Korean dramas do. As a result, it's not as easy to sympathize with the characters.

    The production quality stands out, with meticulous attention to detail in set design and cinematography. The cast delivers compelling performances. This is a thought-provoking addition to the crime drama genre.
