Delightfully Deceitful Opening Week Story

Ro-woom was found in front of their house 10 years ago and was branded as the murderer of her own parents. Previously, she shocked the nation with her superior eidetic memory.
When evidence of the gun found at the scene of her parents’ murder arise, she was eventually let go on probation. She was actually helped by Han Moo-young (Kim Dong Wook) the lawyer of the man who claimed to have forced her to burn their house.
Because of that, Ro-woom also picks him to represent her in the lawsuit that she wants to claim justice for. She also connects with old friends she met in an organization called Jeokmok Kids.
With her amazing brain, getting money is easy for Ro-woom but she struggles with her pesky probation officer Go Yo-han (Yoon Park).
Meanwhile, Moo-young is also in a strange situation as he can deem there are truths to what Ro-woom says but her nature as a psychopath is also evident. These woes he often consults with his psychiatrist Mo Jae-in (Park Sojin).
“What stuff were you determined to bear 10 years ago that you had to throw your life away, I need to know.”
After much contemplation, Moo-young confronts Ro-woom with the truth of the incident 10 years ago. Knowing her tendency to manipulate people, he also affirms how she knew his condition as an excessively empathetic person.

At the hearing for the civil lawsuit, Moo-young moves for the case adjournment citing that the case related to the lawsuit is still being worked on.
Inevitably, it leads to Ro-woom’s decision to fire Moo-young from being her lawyer.
