Deadly amuseming, but lacks bite
What if a pent-up horror fanatic accidentally mistook himself for a serial killer due to amnesia? Well, Psychopath Diary answers that exact question.Hilarious and clever, a dark comedy that lives rent-free in my head. There isn't a time when the comedy isn't hitting, but that doesn't mean the show can't be serious and scary when it wants.
Probably one of the stupidest things about it that impressed me was its realistic use of firearms. Not only that, but it has got to be the only time I've seen someone using the fact that you need to reload a gun every few shots to create tension!
All of the characters seem real and deep. You can tell this world is "lived in". The connection between all the places and people is logical.
One of the most interesting scenes is those where the main character lets out his dark side. This is, unfortunately, where a lot of the frustration from fans comes from. The show seems to be afraid of making Yook Dong Shik actually harm anyone. It sometimes feels as if we are watching two different characters in one body. I guess we all just wish Yook Dong Shik was just a little bit more badass, and not just a dumbass.

Deaf must watch!
I had the pleasure of watching this movie and talking with the director afterwards, at a film festival. It's amazing how well they taught the actors to sign, I wouldn't have guessed they didn't know HKSL before!The story is so heartbreaking and hopeful in its realism.
This movie shows so many sides of what it means to be Deaf in a world that wants to eradicate your culture and language, going so far as banning sign language in schools. It's visually pretty, but most importantly, it's so deliberate with how it uses sound. I cannot recommend it enough.

Emotional, dark story with some flaws
Good acting, pretty visuals. Not realistic when it comes to law and drugs, but it still captures the feeling of them well. It always makes me wonder what will happen next. Overall, a nice, dark story with some flaws. I can't wait for the next episode!Also, those poor stunt actors, they really just threw them off a building, huh?
What the hell is that release schedule tho, it's all over the place XD
