What is A Killer Paradox about?
Based on the webtoon by Kkomabi, A Killer Paradox tells the story of the ordinary student Lee Tang (Choi Woo-sik). However, his life is about to change after he gets into a fight with a drunk man while working part-time at a convenience store and accidentally kills him. But in a major twist of fate, the guy he killed turns out to be a serial killer who has been wanted for four years. From there, he has developed a special ability to recognize bad people, making him a serial murderer himself who kills these evil individuals.
With these murders, Detective Jang Nan-gam (Son Suk-ku) enters the picture and investigates who’s behind these killings. His instincts then lead him to suspect Lee Tang as the killer. Another man who has been hunting Lee Tang is Song Chon (Lee Hee-jun), a former detective.
