At the beginning of this drama, my favorite characters were Hwang Shi Mok and Han Yeo Jin, the leads. At the end of the drama? It was Lee Chang Joon, hands down. Why? Because even though I admired Prosecutor Hwang's and Lt. Han's integrity and adherence to the law under any circumstances, their holier than thou attitude in the last few eps rankled a bit.

I'm not saying they should've admired the ones who concocted the whole plan that involved a murder (among other things), not at all, but considering that except for a few small fish who ended up in jail everyone else got away with their freedom at the very least intact (if not with their money, too), considering that pretty much everything went back to how it was before, considering that until the murder nobody had done anything, not the cops and not the prosecution? I honestly don't blame the conspirators for doing what they did. And I didn't feel one bit sorry for the murdered guy, not after what he did. He had a mother and a son? Yeah? And? So? But then, I'm a callous person, I admit that.

And Lee Chang Joon! Gosh, as the story unfolded and I started suspecting where it was going, holy smokes! He was so awesome and so smart and conniving and... wow. This part made me fall for the actor, Yoo Jae Myung, so hard. Goodness he was good!
