    What’s up with the lawyer? I don’t understand his character. How can he be so apathetic to his ex gf? When did he stop liking her? Even in the first episode he celebrated her birthday. They should’ve atleast shown how he gradually got tired of the relationship. But it was a sudden 180 degree turn after her sister’s death. I understand he’s working for the company, but how can he not show some sympathy for his gf’s sister? How can he not show the slightest remorse or feel conflicted for covering it up?
    What is the reason for his breakup?
    How did he suddenly become a murderer and again not show the slightest sign of guilt? I can’t hate him because I don’t understand his character. What is his thought process?

      My reading of his character is that he grew world-weary and cynical descending into nihilism when working as a prosecutor and experiencing the power of the riches over the justice system. The writer has dropped several hints about it here and there. There was a scene in the bathroom where the little voice inside let him know that what he was doing was wrong but that wouldn’t stop his behaviour. He has a conscience, but it’s weak. He’s an oppurtinist now who needs money no matter how.

        Yes that’s true. The way he treated his girlfriend after her sister’s suicide proved that he didn’t care about truth or justice or even being sympathetic to her. What’s more scary is that he ordered the murder of that loan shark so easily and his guilt over killing the girl’s mother also didn’t last long.

          Yeah, he is not what a woman’s heart desire as a boyfriend. After a slight hesitation he chose to turn his back on her girlfriend for the sake of money. I find his bored indifference chilling (and yet really intriguing), too.

    I like it so far. Especially after our female lead stopped crying and started taking more action.
    Lawyer, I don’t think he stopped liking her. He somehow got into his head that power and money trumps justice and He consciously made a choice to go the dark route. So he had to cut her loose.
    In her sister death case he knew that hey won’t win no matter what. The rich will twist the case and justice will never prevail. To save his gf from going through the legal process he lied to her. But he failed to realize what he did was the worst kind of betrayal. He has gotten completely worse in the last 2 episodes.

      I understand that it would have been futile to fight against the rich. My problem is he didn’t show an ounce of regret for what he did. And he doesn’t really seem like he’s still in love with her. If that was the case, he wouldn’t have been able to cut loose so easily. His change of feelings seem very abrupt.

        I think we only saw the end of their relationship. It looks like he was growing distant for many years thereby postponing marriage.
