This real-story thriller talk program, which delves into accounts from individuals who’ve come face-to-face with antisocial personalities – including psychopaths, sociopaths, and narcissists – has been grabbing headlines and climbing charts since its premiere.
New Schedule & Chart Domination
After just its second episode, ‘I Met a Psychopath’ soared to an impressive No. 6 overall in Netflix’s Korea Top 10 Series category and secured the No. 2 spot among entertainment programs. Its compelling narratives also earned it a place in Coupang Play’s This Week Top 20 at No. 10, marking its presence on major OTT charts for a second consecutive week. The new schedule firmly places the program in a consistent Sunday night slot, ensuring viewers can tune in weekly at 10:20 PM for its gripping tales.
Episode 3: ‘Deliver Us from Evil’ Unveils Terrifying Realities
The anticipation for Episode 3 is already sky-high, especially given the fiery studio reactions teased from its star-studded panel. This upcoming installment is themed ‘Deliver Us from Evil’ and promises to be an intense ride. It will explore truly frightening real-life stories centered around distorted beliefs that push individuals into grave danger. Topics include financial exploitation, sexual exploitation, devastating family breakdowns, and the wider social harm inflicted by cult-like groups.
Kyuhyun’s Curiosity & Jeon Hyun Moo’s Fiery ‘SKY Castle’ Comparison
The gravity of the subject matter deeply shakes the studio storytellers, a panel featuring beloved figures like MC Jeon Hyun Moo, Super Junior’s Kyuhyun, rapper Nucksal, and former KARA member Heo Young Ji. In a moment that stunned the panel, Kyuhyun surprisingly admitted, “I have often thought that I want to go to a cult gathering place at least once.” He clarified his unusual curiosity, explaining it stems from doubt: he wonders, “They believe that? It makes no sense.”
Jeon Hyun Moo, known for his keen understanding of Kyuhyun’s often quirky insights, didn’t hold back. Pointing directly at Kyuhyun, he humorously snapped, “What a half-smart fool you are.” Jeon Hyun Moo’s strong reactions didn’t stop there. He famously erupted while watching a particularly heartbreaking story about a child suffering because their parents fell into a cult, misguidedly believing it would help send their child to a prestigious university. He vehemently called the situation “a very bad version of ‘SKY Castle’,” drawing a vivid parallel to the intensely competitive and dark world depicted in the hit K-drama.
A Must-Watch for Uncovering Hidden Dangers
Following the emotionally charged filming, all four studio panelists – Jeon Hyun Moo, Kyuhyun, Nucksal, and Heo Young Ji – unanimously declared the story from Episode 3 as the No. 1 most impactful case covered on ‘I Met a Psychopath’ so far. The production team reassures viewers that the show will continue its vital mission of pointing out danger signals hidden within ordinary daily life and relationships, reminding everyone that ‘I Met a Psychopath’ airs every Sunday at 10:20 PM.
