The Killer’s Shopping List Episode 4 Review

The Killer’s Shopping List Episode 4 is intense as suspicion now goes to everyone. The police detective’s aggressive interrogation of Dae-sung and his unconfident and frustrating response to him makes us think that he might get wrongly charged for the murder. Sung-yoon comes out as transgender and Dae-sung and his mother understand and apologize to her. This LGBTQ+ positive scene is the only warmhearted scene in a rather thrilling episode.
