Netflix’s series “A Killer Paradox”, which will be released worldwide on February 9th, tells the story of a man who accidentally murders a serial killer and a detective who pursues him relentlessly.
“A Killer Paradox” is based on a webtoon of the same name by Ggomabi, who received explosive reactions by presenting unpredictable twists through shocking storytelling that contrasts with the cute drawing style. “A Killer Paradox” won the New Manhwa Award at Korea Content Awards, Today’s Our Manhwa Awards and the Jury Prize at Readers’ Manhwa Awards.
Director Lee Chang-hee, who showed an excellent sense of genre through the drama “Hell Is Other People” and the movie “The Vanished”, will helm “A Killer Paradox”, which has been highly anticipated since the moment the serialization news was announced. As he previously showed high level of completion with solid development and beautiful visual beauty in the drama “Hell Is Other People”, which is based on a popular webtoon, expectations are also high for “A Killer Paradox”. Writer Kim Da-min, who won the Grand Prize in the 2019 scenario planning and development feature category, will pen “A Killer Paradox” and show a new perspective. The cast includes actors Choi Woo-sik, Son Suk-ku and Lee Hee-joon.
On January 11th, two teaser posters and the official teaser were unveiled.
Teaser posters featuring the characters Lee Tang (Choi Woo-sik) and Jang Nan-gam (Son Suk-ku) were revealed. The posters captured the contrast between Lee Tang, an ordinary college student who realizes that he has the ability to identify evil people after his first accidental murder, and Jang Nan-gam, a detective who pursues a murder case committed by Lee Tang.
The official teaser started with a sudden realization jolting Lee Tang out of his lethargic and mundane daily life. Returning from his part-time job at a convenience store, Lee Tang becomes a victim of indiscriminate assault. In a surprising turn of events, Lee Tang, who has never retaliated before, pulls out a hammer and strikes back. The copy “A person died, I killed a person” hinted at the changes in Lee Tang’s life after his first accidental murder.
The teaser also showcased the intense pursuit of Lee Tang’s murders by Detective Jang Nan-gam. With a bold continuation of murders by Lee Tang, who boldly proceeds as he becomes aware that all the people he killed were “malicious criminals”, the impactful line from Detective Jang Nan-gam “Do you think regular chewing gum and bubble gum are different?” raises expectations for their compelling running fight.
Choi Woo-sik transforms into university student Lee Tang, realizing he has the ability to discern evildoers. His portrayal captures the meticulous process of Lee Tang’s transformation from an ordinary person to a murderer, condemner. Son Suk-ku plays Detective Jang Nan-gam, equipped with excellent intuition and determination, completing the character with his unique touch.
