@pm3 Thank you very much for this thread.

******Spoiler up to ep 10

I Had even been thinking a romance might not develop. The script though is very clever.

I was becoming more and more convinced
That Yan Is unforgivably cruel. Then we are shown him murdering his accountant And I am appalled. But it is all a ruse. So I went from being appalled to being relieved and impressed by his strategic thinking. So he is not a cruel murderer. Now there is slightly more of a Rapport between the leads And
I see the possibility of a romance. The only hint so far
had been the scene of him putting the hairpin in her hair, As pack mule shows us above.

Before the above scenes, We are primed to see her as being like Yan, in the scene where she is beating the two men who hurt her young friend And in a few exchanges with the second lead.

So now I see Yan
In a more sympathetic light And understand better why they both feel that they need to take justice into their own hands.

Also He gives her back the blood pearl.
