From episode two - action and intrigue!

The Killer's Shopping List was an extremely enjoyable watch, and I loved the fact that, until episode six, I still wasn't certain on who the killer was. One of the best things about dramas with killers? When the viewer is left speculating after each episode has finished and has to brainstorm after each episode! Whilst I did correct the killer from episode two or three, I didn't actually have a valid reason for my speculation - it was more just based on a 'hunch'. I really liked the diverse personalities and characters, and I really loved the fact that the supporting cast were all on a 'main level' to the main cast. I also really enjoyed the acting provided by the main and supporting cast. Special mention to Lee Kwang Soo, I had only watched him in one drama before, and I thought he did a good performance, but in this, I would say it was close to phenomenal.

The entire OST was really addictive and I also really enjoyed the editing styles and also the theme opening animation. The rewatch value is also higher than normal, I think this is due to the fact that there is only eight episodes instead of the 'usual 16', and also because of the unpredictability factor.

What could have earned this drama an even higher score? As I'm writing this, I can only think of a couple of things. I think it would've been nicer to explore the ML/FL relationship a little more, and at some points, the dialogue was a little repetitive... so maybe a change here?

However, I definitely recommend this drama no matter what - even if crime/mystery dramas are not your favourite!
