The ending sure turned out to be unexpected. While the Police Chief retired happily and the prosecutor was Promoted, they really didn't give two fucks about Hyun Soo's life. In cases like Murder and Rape, a perpetrator was necessary; that was their reasoning. The Ego of the police chief was to headspread towards Hyun Soo only and justify his gut feeling while the prosecutor attempted to break Hyun Soo mentally, and still, at the end, they were the ones reaping the rewards. Even Hyun Soo's family is starting to think he killed her. His friend who helped him died in his arms, and his lawyer did the work of the police.

Now Hyun Soo will never be the same. Will anyone be able to trust him again? He practically lost the upcoming opportunities of his life due to this case. While everyone only used him as a stepping stone. As the Lion of the Prison once said, Poor people never get Justice in Korea, which is true as Korea is highly capitalistic country.
