You can check the preview below:
A Killer Paradox Episode 1 preview begins in good faith. Woo-shik wants to help a man left sleeping in an alley by telling the latter’s friend about him as it will soon rain. However, the guy wants Woo-shik to leave it and back off, making the latter annoyed and giving him the finger. As the guy sees what Woo-shik did, he attacks him, bringing Woo-shik to his past when he was bullied in high school.
But compared to a young and helpless Woo-shik, he now finds the courage to fight back, accidentally killing the guy with a hammer in the process. This quickly leads to an investigation, with Son Suk-ku, playing the role of Detective Jang Nan-gam, taking the scene. As the killing gets into the news, Woo-shik learns his victim is actually a serial murderer.
