I’m not sure how this works. Like, if the guy’s so nice, why would he even believe he’s a killer? And the cops just hit him with their car and acted like nothing happened? That’s so weird! But I guess the story sounds fun enough to check out, especially with all the drama and twists.

I’ve never seen a show that blends dark comedy with suspense like this before. The idea of a guy who thinks he’s a psychopath but can’t bring himself to commit murder is brilliant. The way it plays with the concept of memory loss and self-identity is fascinating. I’ve always liked K-dramas that push the envelope in terms of humor while dealing with darker themes. The references to crime films like American Psycho and Silence of the Lambs made me laugh out loud because they’re so spot-on. It’s refreshing to watch a series that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still manages to keep you at the edge of your seat. The characters are well-written, and Yook Dong-Sik is portrayed with such charm. Definitely recommend this one to anyone who likes unique twists on crime stories!

Stupid plot, an amnesiac believing he's a serial killer—the execution didn't quite do it for me. There were moments of humor, sure, but the show seemed to overuse the "oops, I can't go through with it" trope. The character of Yook Dong-Sik is a bit too much of a pushover for my taste. I get that it's part of the comedy, but I wanted him to have a bit more agency in his own story. That said, I do appreciate the twist at the end, where he has to confront the reality of being a killer...or not. Still, the series had some pacing issues and I felt the suspense didn’t really build up as well as it could have. If you're into quirky dark comedies, you might like it, but it’s not for everyone.
