Netflix has released the official trailer for its new K-drama series, A Killer Paradox. The preview mostly focused on the character of Choi Woo-shik as Lee Tang. After accidentally killing a serial killer and becoming a murderer himself, who can identify the bad people who need to die, it poses a question of whether he’s a real hero or a villain. You can watch the trailer below:
The new A Killer Paradox preview begins on the day that Lee Tang’s life has changed. While running away, he reveals striking has never been an option for him, ending up questioning himself why he does so when he meets the guy he killed. Afraid of what he did, he starts to search for the possible repercussions of accidentally killing someone. The murder badly affects Lee Tang, leaving him paranoid and crying by himself until Son Suk-ku, who plays Detective Jang Nan-gam, comes along, making the situation worse.
Nan-gam starts to suspect Lee Tang, telling him that people sometimes feel like killing someone. Though he only delivers it as a joke, the next scene sees Lee Tang confessing that he has killed them. But a major realization hits Lee Tang, thinking that the people he kills deserve to die after learning his first victim is a serial killer. From there, his series of killings begins as Nan-gam starts to hunt for him.
In addition, Netflix released a new key visual for A Killer Paradox. It shows the two sides of the story, with Woo-shik standing under the rain while Suk-ku starts the investigation while kneeling and blowing his gum.
