Delightfully Deceitful

In an enthralling tale of revenge and justice, a brilliant con artist (Chun Woo-hee), wrongfully accused and imprisoned for the murder of her parents, teams up with a seemingly cool-headed attorney (Kim Dong-wook) suffering from hyper-empathy syndrome. Known for her genius and deceptive tactics, the former child prodigy utilizes her skills to take revenge on those who wronged her. Despite his empathetic nature that often overpowers his professional skills, the lawyer finds an unusual camaraderie with people he ordinarily wouldn’t associate with, including the con artist. Together, they form an unlikely alliance, each using their unique abilities to combat the evils of their world. This thrilling series intricately weaves together the journeys of two polar opposites, offering an exciting narrative where cunning deceit and innate empathy become the keys to seeking justice.
