I did not realize when I started watching this drama that, spoiler alert, suicide would be a major plot point, and I might not have started it if I had. But once engaged I was going along with it as best I could when suddenly the reason for said suicide is revealed in episode 5. So here it is: The guy is a prosecutor and is unjustly accused of professional and criminal misconduct when, instead of choosing to stay alive for his wife and child who adore him, and fight the charges, he instead decides to secretly record his suicide note with his version of the truth on a handheld recorder, say a heartfelt farewell to his daughter on said recording, and then leaves it completely to chance if anyone finds said recording on said recording device after he is dead. He even says on the recording itself that it doesn't matter if anyone finds it, but also that he is making the recording so people will know the truth. Then why does it not matter if it's found or not, he does not say! He also says elsewhere, in some kind of a riddle I guess that he is committing this act so that the truth will NOT come out or be known., and it's left completely unclear how such a contradiction can exist. The problem with all this besides just seeming like very lazy writing is that the stated reason for this man to commit suicide is so nonsensical, preposterous and unbelievable and counter intuitive for someone trained in and committed to the law, that it seriously trivializes suicide itself, and it is disappointing to see a show handle such a serious subject so objectionably and inartfully.
