Is there anyone who deserves to die? A serial killer who brutally murders people, or a psychopath who doesn't feel guilty for killing people, etc. Is it the implementation of justice to eliminate the wicked, or is it just another murder?

Sometimes, reality is more cruel than fiction. In reality, even a cruel villain must be judged by law. Sometimes the law punishes the villain too lightly. This is why dramas and movies often feature 'killers who kill the wicked'. The setting where a character who feels the urge to kill intentionally finds and kills people who 'deserve to die' has often been dealt with in various fiction.

'Lee Tang', the protagonist who works part-time at a convenience store, commits an accidental murder one day. He swung a hammer at a man who was assaulting him. He even tried to take his own life because he felt guilty about killing someone. He then receives unexpected news. The man he accidentally killed was a serial killer.

Detective 'Jangnan Gam', who is in charge of investigating the murder case that Lee Tang committed, suspects Lee Tang as a strong suspect, but he can't find any evidence that he killed someone. There were too many coincidences, so there was no physical evidence that he definitely killed someone.

But there was one more person looking for Lee Tang. This mysterious man seems to know that Lee Tang committed murder and is chasing after him. What is this man's identity?

While Lee Tang remains at large, he commits another murder. But there is no evidence again, and the person I killed deserved to die. As these coincidences pile up, Lee Tang begins to think of himself as a 'hero who eliminates the wicked', and his actions become more audacious.

This Netflix series, based on the webtoon of the same name, “A KILLER PARADOX”, which began serialization in 2010, first caught the eye with its unique title. I wonder what the connection is between the character's name 'Jangnan Gam' and the title, and why they emphasized the word 'embarrassment' by calling it 'A KILLER PARADOX' instead of 'murder toy'.

“A God-given hero or a villain to be judged”. The drama shows the protagonist who has fallen into the hero complex that it is okay to kill even if he has done something cruel, making viewers think a lot. People who know that murder is something that should never be done, but at the same time think that a villain who has committed a cruel crime deserves to die. Of course, there are very few people who actually carry it out, but most people probably have 'the paradox of the killer' in their minds.

The acting of Choi Woo-shik and Son Suk-gu, who have already proven their acting skills, and the directing skills of the director who directed “Strangers from Hell” and “The Vanished” are also anticipated. “A KILLER PARADOX” will be released on Netflix on February 9th.
