Why was Mu Jin Obsessed with Ji Woo?
From the beginning, Choi Mu Jin planned to use her. He manipulated her and even went to the police station to test her loyalty.
Mu Jin let Ji Woo become the culprit and she willingly exposed her identity to get revenge over Mu Jin. obsessed with Ji Woo and unwilling to accept her betrayal, Mu Jin sent his lawyer to get Ji Woo out of the police custody.
Jeon Pil Do had caught her previously trying to escape.

They escaped together and Ji Woo came to her senses because she knew Pil Do was right. She already lost her father and now didn’t want to end up losing her identity and life all over again.
But Mu Jin was not too happy with Ji Woo.
He was determined to kill her or be killed by her. Mu Jin doesn’t take betrayal kindly and was obsessed with his dad too.
In a sense, Mu Jin ruthlessly killed Yoon Dong Hoon after discovering his identity and was going to do the same to Ji Woo because he knew she was going to come for revenge.
