01 / A closer look

The story, without the spoilers.

Lee Tang is an ordinary college student working part-time at a convenience store, going nowhere in particular. One night, after a drunken argument, he kills a man by accident and expects his life to end. Instead he discovers something terrifying: the man he killed was a serial murderer, and the police cannot find a single reason to mourn him. Then it happens again. And again. Each victim turns out to be someone the world is better without, and Lee Tang begins to wonder whether he is cursed, chosen, or simply good at something horrible. Hunting him is Jang Nan-gam, a detective with animal instincts who does not believe in coincidence and who follows the pattern no matter where it leads. Based on the webtoon by Kkomabi, A Killer Paradox premiered on Netflix on February 9, 2024, in eight episodes. It is a dark, funny and deeply uncomfortable thriller about luck, guilt and the stories we tell ourselves to sleep at night.

The Oxfea take.

He killed a man by accident. Then he realised he liked it.

ACCIDENT. THEN ADDICTION.

Why you'll get hooked

  • Choi Woo-shik plays Lee Tang, an ordinary student whose first kill turns out to be a serial murderer.
  • Son Suk-ku plays the detective who refuses to believe in coincidence — and he is right.
  • Based on the webtoon by Kkomabi, with a moral question that never gets a comfortable answer.

Oxfea Score: 8.7/10 — Highly recommended. A dark moral puzzle that never lets you settle: is he a hero or a monster? Choi Woo-shik is superb, Son Suk-ku is terrifyingly calm, and the ending will divide your group chat.
