7. the characters are well written with good background stories and justifications for their actions
8. criminals and evil people don't get fake ass redemption or half baked punishments; they are brutally targeted and attacked for what evil they do
9. sex traffickers get shot in the dick and gunned down
10. real life cases from south korea that get better endings than they did in real life because the show bypasses the shitty and corrupt judicial systems
