What is the plot of A Killer Paradox about?
The eight-episode A Killer Paradox stars Choi Woo Shik, Son Suk Ku, and Lee Hee Joon.
It tells the story of convenience store clerk Lee Tang (played by Choi Woo Shik) who accidentally murders a customer who assaulted him.
He soon finds out the customers was a serial killer, along with discovering he has a hidden talent to find “bad seeds” when others do not.
Soon he is meeting out “justice” to other people who have also committed evil acts, all while being chased by charismatic detective Jang Nan Gam (Son Suk Ku).
A Killer Paradox is currently streaming on Netflix, with viewers on various sites giving it only “average reviews”, and commenting while the performances are good, the plot is disappointing overall.
