Do the police stand for justice? Or live for profit?

As mentioned at the beginning, the so-called ideal is just an excuse for promotion. Ideal or interest, which is more real?

If you want to get something, you have to pay

, isn't that the case in life ?
It's just that some prices are too cruel and some facts are too helpless.

You want jail or go home?
However, some people want to go home but do what they want to go to jail.

This drama is a one-day drama like Thunderstorm, This Man From Earth, and it tests the level of the screenwriter. It is
worth mentioning that there is no memory element in the whole drama. Without any footage before and after this day, all the foreshadowing and turning of the conflict are reflected through dialogue, environment, and characterization, which is very rare.

The ending also sees that darkness is only the tip of the iceberg, but it exhausts the protagonist representing justice. There is also kindness in the dark, such as the cousin of the girl who was raped, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to change anything.
