In Psychopath Diary, bumbling company man Yoon Shi-yoon (Nokdu Flower) accidentally stumbles onto a scene where he witnesses a murder. While running away, he is hit by a car and loses his memory. When he wakes up, he finds a diary with records of multiple gruesome murders in his possession. Believing that the diary is his own, he begins to adopt the persona of the person he believes himself to be: a psychopathic serial killer.
The recently released stills feature Yoon Shi-yoon and his co-star Jung In-sun (My Secret Terrius) in moments surrounding Yoon Shi-yoon’s car accident. She plays a passionate neighborhood cop who has stayed true to reality rather than following her dreams. This case ignites her desire to engage in investigations and actively pursue criminals.
According to the main writer Ryu Yong-jae (Liar Game), the starting point of his writing process began with the question: “In a world where psychopaths succeed, do we also need to become monsters like them to survive?” With a chilling premise like that, I know that I’m interested.
tvN’s upcoming Wednesday-Thursday drama, directed by Lee Jong-jae (100 Days My Prince) and co-written by Ryu Yong-jae, Kim Hwan-chae, Choi Sung-joon, will start airing on November 20.
