The crime/suspense thriller Kdrama had a lot of cliffhangers till the very last episode.

What were the most shocking plot twists in May it Please the Court Kdrama? What will happen to No Chak Hee and Jwa Si Baek?

Jwa Si Baek confessed to the serial killings

A legal drama without a string of serial killing mysteries to solve would be completely empty.

Too many people were dying and randomly dropping dead. The police Yoo Kyung Jin and Jang Jae Geun were convinced that Jwa Si Baek could be the possible killer.

There was circumstantial evidence but a lack of clear proof.  Things became more chaotic when Jang Gi Do’s father Jang Byung Chun was murdered like the other victims.

Jang Gi Do was hopeless in trying to win the election by even hiding the fact that his father was murdered.

Consumed by rage and anger, Jang Byun Chun pushed her from the stairs, instantly killing her. Jang Byun Chun killed No Chak Hee’s grandma and pretended to be her benefactor her entire life.  

Knowing the truth pretty much shattered Chak Hee and she became more determined to overthrow Jang Gi Do.
