Kind & Pitiful

Here is a list up of reasons why his character is kind and pitiful.

2- When he was young, he was the victim of torture and bullies by the villagers. He was also forced to go through scary exorcism. He was a victim.

3- Despite what the first episodes of the drama were telling us, he might have killed no one (yet, nothing is sure). However, everyone is pointing out at him in the village and in the news. No one believes in his innocence.

4- It turned out that it was actually his older sister that killed the man. When he arrived and saw the old man dead, he did not hesitate to make it look like he was the one that killed him to protect her. He sacrificed himself for her.
