Now that shows like "Squid Game," "Death Penalty for All," and "Bloodhounds" have introduced the world to the wonders of K-drama, it's time for a new Korean drama to become Netflix's next obsession

Currently the #2 most watched non-English language show on Netflix globally and listed in the "Everyone's Watching" section of the Netflix app, "Killer Paradox" has arguably taken the world by storm

With a premise reminiscent of the serial killer series "Dexter" and a protagonist who just happens to be in a predicament, "Killer Paradox" is a cat-and-mouse thriller that doesn't take itself too seriously

No wonder the show is a hit among those with a dark sense of humor However, there's a good chance that many of you haven't seen it yet, so here's an overview

"Killer Paradox" stars Choi Woo-shik (Academy Award winner "Parasite") as Lee Tan, a college student with no ambition who works part-time at a convenience store

On his way home after a particularly grueling shift, Tan encounters a pair of drunken customers he has dealt with before Seeing one man lying face down, Tang approaches the other, who begins to attack Tang relentlessly

Remembering a bully in high school who never fought back, Tang decides enough is enough and smashes the violent drunk's head with a hammer borrowed from his work

Realizing that he has killed this man, Tan panics, drops the hammer, and runs home Detective Jang Nan-gam (Song Sook) senses something is wrong with Tan, but he does not care, and it is revealed that the man Tan killed is actually a wanted serial killer who had killed a fellow drunk just before the confrontation

Upon learning the truth about his victim, Tan realizes that he can instinctively recognize a bad guy who deserves to die Perhaps this is the calling he has been searching for since he left school

It turns out that someone found the hammer he dropped before the police arrived and kept it safe

David Opie of Radio Times said that "a tighter focus and a keener sense of the message behind the conception could have elevated the series," but "as for Killer's ambitions, it goes without saying that it fulfills its aspirations, there is still a large amount of fun to be had" [29] [30] Jonathon Wilson of Ready Steady Cut said, "Some will think it's great Some will think it's great Both will be equally right"
