The Netflix series A Killer Paradox has unveiled its main poster and a trailer.

Based on the webtoon of the same name by the writer Kkoma Bi, the story revolves around an ordinary man who accidentally starts committing murders and the detective chasing him relentlessly.

The main poster features Lee Tang (Choi Woo Shik) and Jang Nan Gam (Son Suk Ku) standing at a murder scene.

Lee Tang stands soaked in the rain, holding a hammer in his hand, with a bewildered expression and restless eyes. Detective Jang Nan Gam surveys the murder scene with a sharp gaze while chewing bubble gum.

The text on the poster reads, "A Godsent Hero or Unpunished Sinner".

The trailer begins by showing Lee Tang running. He says, "Striking back has never been an option in my life. So, that day, why did I..."

Lee Tang trembles in fear when someone asks him about the murder that happened in the area. Out of fear, he looks up if the penalty is lighter for accidental murder.

In the face of fear and guilt, Lee Tang encounters Detective Jang Nan Gam. The detective says, "I understand that in life, it sometimes occurs that you want to kill somebody." Lee Tang is distraught by anxiousness. 

The first victim of Lee Tang's murder turns out to be a ruthless serial killer. He says, "I realized that the people I killed deserved to die." He then realizes, "I murdered two people, but there is no evidence."

A voiceover says, "Just do what your gut tells you," and Lee Tang unhesitatingly continues to commit murders. 

The trailer concludes with Lee Tang saying, "There's no right answer, but this is the choice I made."

Will Lee Tang's crimes go unpunished? Or will he remain uncaught and go on as a godsent hero?

A Killer Paradox will be available on Netflix starting February 9. Watch the trailer here.
