Fresh off the success of 'Light The Night' comes the brand-new Taiwan thriller 'Copycat Killer'; about a deranged serial killer set in the 1990s in the age of Discmans & video recorders. As is the case with other similar-type drama serials; the series relies heavily on the charisma of its main star; in this case Wu Kang-Jen, in a role completely opposite of his pimp role in Light The Night; who shines with his Horatio-like coolness and human vulnerability.
Another plus for the show is its unique storyline; such as revealing the identity of the villain way before the end; and relying on its storytelling to take the way through. In this way; it distinguishes itself from other similar K-drama shows; where they like to hold the suspense all the way to the end and becomes a bit predictable in that way. Another plus of the show is its use of gore; but in an exciting rather than unpalatable way; and the use of social media (albeit the TV kind) adds to the element of mystique and excitement.
