Synopsis: Delightfully Deceitful is about an empathetic lawyer and a selfish con artist. Han Moo-young is a passionate and excessively empathetic lawyer who spends his days helping those in need of justice. He is famously known as the “overly sensitive lawyer”, while others refer to him as the “Vampire”. He still manages to win cases with the power of empathy and the intention of the crime.
Then there is Lee Ro-woom, a con artist who can’t empathize with anyone. She was imprisoned for 10 years for the killing of her parents. After 10 years of serving her sentence, it was found that she was in fact a victim of not only losing her parents but also being blamed for their death. She has made a fortune through fraud and is not apologetic about it. She gets involved with Han Moo-young and gets exposed to his different persona.
Disguised as lovers, Han Moo-young and Lee Ro-woom work together to solve a high profile murder case. The more time they spend together, the more they begin to influence each other. After all, they are polar opposites, and they say opposites attract. This is a unique team: a lawyer working with a criminal to find other criminals. Will it be worth the risk?
