♦ But I Want to Help Her. I Can’t Help It.

In “Delightfully Deceitful”, Lee Ro-Woom served ten years in prison for murdering her parents. After ten years, the real killer was caught and brought to justice. They think. They think he’s the real killer. It’s puzzling because Lee Ro-Woom confessed to the crime. If she were innocent, why would she do that? Did she want to go to prison to “learn”? Oh! By the way, she’s a genius. From a child, she was recognized for her gifted intellect. She was released, but while in prison, she had done certain things (e.g., stabbing a prison guard in the neck). She may be a sociopath or a psychopath. (???)
