9/10
Entertaining story and well chosen cast

Warning: Spoilers
When I started this I already expected to laugh a little and to enjoy watching Choi Woo-sik and Son Suk-ku acting (since I've already watched some of their previous projects). Pleasantly surprised that I laughed a lot more than I thought I would, though if someone saw me and asked what's funny I probably wouldn't know what to reply. There are no jokes, unless you consider the main character's luck to be one, which I do. It's ridiculously hilarious. I loved it.

Choi Woo-sik did a really good job. No matter how much I think about it, I can't see anyone else playing this character better.

I would've rated this a 10 if I liked the ending better. Scratch that, I did like the ending but disliked the way it felt rushed. To me, Nan-gam's actions regarding Lee Tang felt out of character. Or was it just Lee Tang's luck again that he was written by someone who wanted him to get away with it? Maybe if we saw Nan-gam change his mind about Lee Tang A LITTLE slower, his decision at the end would have been surprising but not unreasonable. Nevertheless, the actor also did not disappoint.

I also liked the way Hee-joon brought "the villain" to life. His scenes were entertaining and he looked like he was having fun acting them out.

I think it's worth watching if you want to see an average guy turned serial killer, a detective who most of the time goes to work and leaves his composure at home and what (sometimes ridiculous) things happen that keep our main character out of jail.
