Ah, my memory must be screwed up. I think I'm mixing up Mawang and the japanese version, Maou, in which IIRC, it's the associate that stabs him. There are far too many dramas stored up in my brain! lol.
I do remember about that relative from one of the victims now. Yes, I remember thinking it was brilliantly tragic at the time.
There had been far too much bloodshed for Seung Ha to have any kind of happy ending. Bad Guy doesn't have such a high body count so far so I think that, in that way, GW could more believably have a HEA.
Not that I believe he'll get one. He said himself several times that he'll go all the way and then will await his punishment. I wonder what kind of punishment he is seeking. Being arrested by the police seems kind of sterile considering how personal his revenge is. Does he expect to be killed by one of the Hongs? Or a more metaphorical form of punishment (that of having sacrificed his own happiness and living his life as an empty shell)?
When you get to episodes 11-13, you get more details about GW's motivations and the first signs of clear remorse. He hates himself but cannot stop yet. There's one scene in one of those episodes (can't remember which) in which he takes a picture of So-dam from his board and compares it to the old family picture he has, zooming in on Mo-Ne who was an infant at the time. He does acknowledge that Mo-Ne wasn't part of what happened 20 years ago. He seems to be hoping for her to go abroad to study and grow up.
It's funny because I can't predict how everything will get resolved. In Mawang we're plundged in bloodshed and murder from the start so a gory ending wasn't difficult to envision but that's not the case here. The drama does start with a death but it was a suicide.
There's one touching scene where GW's associate asks he he had ever wished for the death of one of the Hongs. GW's answer is very interesting. I'll let you discover it without spoiling it.

I'm very curious as to how it will end.
