I can’t get behind a story that romanticizes an affair while trying to justify it with abuse. Yes, domestic violence is horrifying, and no one deserves it. But cheating on a spouse isn’t the answer, and neither is covering up potential murder. Cha Woo-Hyuk’s entire moral compass is skewed—he’s more concerned about protecting his lover than seeking the truth. If he really loved her, he’d focus on clearing her name properly, not manipulating the system for a personal vendetta. The law isn’t about convenience; it’s about justice, even when it’s inconvenient.

I’ve watched enough K-dramas to know that morality is usually flexible depending on the protagonist. If a chaebol family bends the rules, they’re evil, but when a handsome prosecutor does it, it’s romantic. That being said, I don’t mind a flawed lead—it makes things more engaging. But let’s be real: if the roles were reversed, and Han Jung-Won was the one covering up a crime for a cheating lover, she’d be painted as a villain. The double standard in these dramas always gets me.

I totally agree. It was so messed up! But all the characters were messed up! Messed up people do messed up stuff!

Honestly, I like the male lead because of his smile. The first time I saw him was in historical K-dramas. That guy had a smile that made you melt.
