I have an obsession with Korean crime drama huh? Sure, I do enjoy Taiwanese crime drama (still considered Chinese though since Taiwan is called the Republic of CHINA) and Japanese crime drama. The show A Killer Paradox explores the world of vigilante justice. The show can be so full of spoilers and the budget seems so high that it was cut into only eight episodes. Yes, they did the same thing with My Name which obviously had a high budget. There's also what I'd call to be an unnecessary nude scene which hardly contributed to the plot.
The plot has Lee Tang (Choi Woo-Shik) who starts out as an ordinary college student. The warning is about the first taste of blood. Tang accidentally murders a person (in a convenience store), readies to turn himself in, and discovers that the person he killed is a wanted serial murderer. This causes a series of dark events that create a domino effect. Tang becomes a bloody vigilante of sorts.
This causes Jang Nan-Gam (Son Suk-Ku) to show up and investigate the murder. Along with Nam-Gam is Song Chon (Lee Hee-Joon) - a former detective who's a former detective hunting Tang. Does Tang evade justice or serve it when he does his vigilante activities? That's the question that law enforcement must answer.
The show tends to introduce lots of characters in just eight episodes. I wonder why we never got 16 episodes to spread out the development? For whatever premise it had - it sure wasn't really fulfilled due to the rushed pace. I certainly felt disappointed with how it went. Sure, there were twists and turns but I think the show really aimed to be a Cult Classic instead. It can get interesting but it certainly needed more space to develop.
