Moral Belief Challenged

The premise of the story is about a female sniper who kills criminals.
Each episode reveals her target, execute it without leaving a trace with the help of her colleagues. As her assignment is called a "Client Meeting" The story behind Bo Na's personality, her past and present are revealed little by little in each episode.
What I know so far about Bo Na (this is based on 10 episodes only):
1. She is a wife of a reporter Tae Seong who had been interested on Kingfisher till he was threatened
2. She has a 4-year-old daughter Yul
3. She has a mother-in-law who doesn't really like her
4. She is an orphan; therefore, she has no family of her own prior to meeting Tae Seong.
5. She works in a company which is a front for all their "Client Meetings"
6. She is Kingfisher, wherein some people think of him as a hero, to take down hard core criminals.

I have lots of wondering about this drama, as I finished episode 10. Some of these were answered in the last 2 episodes.
1. Who hires them to do the Client Meetings? Who pays them? Until the end, I really had not figured out who funds their work.
2. Who is Sergei? How is Bo Na connected to him? This man is a wild card, and we do not know if he will cause harm to Bo Na and her family. - this was answered in the last episode. and am glad he is not one to harm Bo Na.
3. How long can Bo Na hide her identity to her family? How will Tae Seong react if he learns she is Kingfisher? - I am glad this is answered in the last episode. Tae Seong loves Bo Na so much that he is ready to embrace her fully. He chose to protect her and their daughter.
4. How did Bo Na get started in this kind of a job? What was the reason for her to be an assassin? - Somehow, the answer is in the last episode too, though still vague for me.

It is not an easy watch and why?
From the perspective of Tae Seong, he had struggled between revealing the truth and protecting Kingfisher.
From the perspective of Bo Na, she struggled how not her own family get caught in the crossfire because of her work.
Some may say the ending is quite satisfying.
For me, there is still this uneasiness.

The storyline is not typical and not predictable. It gives us a deeper probing into the heart of man - why we do what we do - for Bo Na and her team, for Tae Sung and Dong Jin. Each one has a reason; each one has a moral decision to make. It challenges us also of our own belief and moral standards, if ever we face a similar situation with our loved ones.
