Hard to Ignore Age Gap

I have to be honest, I couldn't get very far into this drama with the age gap. Of course the Goblin is a nearly 1000 year old supernatural being, however there is a difference between this and other supernatural romances with age gaps that make it less acceptable. Firstly, the female lead starts out as *underage*. The actual actors have a 12 year gap and the man looks like he could be her father which makes it much more awkward in the show seeing the male lead essentially watch the female lead as she grows up. I felt so uncomfortable in every scene where she's a highschooler, a literal child, with a grown man the show is hinting at romance with. Regardless if they don't doing anything before she is older, it's strange to wait until it's legal and to even hint at feelings when she is so obviously a child. Unfortunately the interesting main storyline couldn't distract me enough to ignore and enjoy this drama. Yikes.

Dark Comedy With an Interesting Concept

I am a huge fan of the thriller/mystery genres and this drama immediately spoke to me! Here are some of the things that are good to know without giving anything important away:

1. Interesting and Unique Concept - the main character gets into an accident after witnessing a murder, which causes him to have amnesia. The only thing on his person was the serial killer's diary which he had taken from the scene of the crime and he's convinced it's his. I was super excited about this main plot line as I'd never seen this before!

2. Thriller Movie References! - The main character, being a thriller fanatic, uses his knowledge from different films and applies them to the situations in real life.

3. Comedy - There's a lot of funny scenes as well and I definitely found myself laughing through each of the episodes. The main character is a bit silly so don't expect him to be all too serious, but he can recognize situations when it's important to be serious too. Watching him switch is very cool.

4. Bromance - There's bromance between the main character and a side character that's really precious, but don't expect much from the two male leads.

5. The Killer - He was done very well, he's an incredibly intense and meticulous person throughout, stays true to character, and remains serious. Having him be so different from the main character made is very fun to watch them butt heads!

6. Little to No Romance - If that's something that you look for in a drama, you'll be disappointed here.

7. Suspense - Although we know from the beginning who the real killer is, they still kept things very suspenseful! I was caught wondering what would happen next several times.

Overall, I believe Psychopath Diary is worth it's high rating! I really enjoyed watching it and would recommend giving it a shot ?
