In the series, “Parasite” actor Choi Woo-shik plays the role of Lee Tang while “My Liberation Notes” actor Son Suk-ku is Jang Nan-gam.

The drama tells the story of Lee Tang, a submissive man who doesn’t normally fight back, who accidentally kills a person. Haunted by fear and guilt, he is constantly on edge, and the detective, Jang Nan-gam, is suddenly on his tail. The psychological warfare is carried out between the two with Jang keeping a close eye on changes in Lee’s demeanor.

But when Lee Tang decides to turn himself in, the news that comes on instantly changes the atmosphere: The victim of Lee’s first murder is a malicious serial killer.

According to streaming analytics website FlixPatrol, “A Killer Paradox” landed at No. 2 on Netflix in the Philippines on Feb. 10.
