I love this drama so much, I want to analyse every scene of it. I find it so cleverly written and edited, plus there’s the perfect balance between tragedy and comedy in it (for me at least)

I’m not sure anyone’s waiting for this, but expect more Psychopath Diary fanarts from me because it’s clearly my new obsession

I’m on my way to watch it for the second time and I ordered the DVD soooo… well

The police officer (Jung In-sun) who caused his accident is also working to track down the serial killer.

Review:

First of all, I love any crime related drama/movies. They are my absolute favorite. Which is why, I am pretty critical whenever I watch a new crime theme drama. So, when I first read the synopsis of this drama, I knew one thing for sure. It was going to hilarious. And I was right.

The plot is very interesting and YSY did a fantastic job portraying the main character. The comedy comes in with this timid man, who is afraid of everything, trying to cope with the idea that he is a killer. At first he is unsure but his fragmented memory leads him to really believe that he is a killer. He embraces his psychopath identity and gains confidence which affects his interaction with everyone around him. There is a whole shenanigan with him trying to plot murders and yet unintentionally ending up as a hero instead! #hilarious 🤣🤣

And then there is our actual serial killer (PSH), who begins to interact with YSY and ends up believing that he (PSH) might be dealing with a person of his kind aka a psychopath! His reactions to YSY are so fun and priceless.😂 He did a brilliant work of being a mix of creepy and very entertaining. 👍🏻👍🏻

Plus, we have our lovely police officer (JIS), who is on the killer's trail and becomes confused when the clues begin to lead her to YSY, who does not really seem like the culprit. She does a really great job at being quick-witted and was a lovely friend to YSY, even though she was starting to doubt him.

Conclusion: All in all, the whole cast and crew did a fantastic job in bringing the story come alive. A huge shout out to Yoon Shi-yoon for his brilliant portrayal the character and was a real treat to watch. The interaction between the real and fake psycho were the highlight for me. The identity crisis within himself was simultaneously hilarious and compelling. The drama evaded the typical prototype of the crime genre and presented a fantastic blend of conflict and humour to the audience.

Rating: 9/10

Tldr: A comedy-crime thriller with a lot of misconceptions & miscommunication
