Son Seok Koo’s Uncanny Resemblance To THIS ‘A Killer Paradox’ Actor Confuses Viewers

As the Netflix K-drama "A Killer Paradox" gained favorable responses from viewers, lead star Son Seok Koo is once again getting attention - not just for his acting, but also for his uncanny resemblance to his co-star!

Officially premiering on February 9, the streaming platform introduced a webtoon-based K-drama that depicts the story of a college student who unexpectedly becomes a killer.

Lee Tang, played by Choi Woo Shik, is an ordinary college student. To support his studies, he works part-time at a convenience store at night. However, an incident changes his life after he accidentally kills a customer who happens to be a serial killer.

Amid his guilt and fear, he realizes that he has the ability to identify bad people and soon became a dark hero. With his new mission, he is being chased by Jang Nam Gam, played by Son Seok Koo, a charismatic yet cold-blooded detective.

Interestingly, other than the drama's entertaining plot and amazing cast lineup, what struck viewers was Son Seok Koo's doppelganger.
