I can't believe Jihyun's actually so pitiful. And I can't believe how obvious the plothole is. I mean the police officers should have given him the benefit of the doubt. And somehow believe his words and tried to search the connection between the real killer and the victim and see how the victim even got there or if there were any disputes or argument between the killer and the victim before jumping into conclusions without evidence. And he's supposed to be rich yet he still got jail time. I mean couldn't his brother hire a lawyer good enough to fight off the accusations?? Aren't there a lot of people like that? So annoying. And also Jihyun, he dares to act like a bigtime thug when in truth he's just a paper tiger without any real power after all?

@Sowee It is very sad that no one believed Jihyun, but those who re-read this story know that there is an explanation for this. This guy was labeled a bad guy even when he didn't do anything worthy of that treatment. It all happened because those around him made the wrong conclusions seeing his wounds and bruises, although in fact the child was beaten by his father. Later, seeing this injustice, Jihyun decided to live up to other people's expectations. Therefore, when that murder happened, his reputation, along with the words of the “witnesses,” gave the police confidence that they had caught the culprit. The fact that Jihyun is from a rich family means nothing because his father always wanted to get rid of his youngest son. The author also wrote that in the end Jihyun managed to get out of prison because the real criminal himself surrendered to the police, afraid that his innocent ex-friend might take revenge.
