	Because of this, even when the criminals' actions are obviously wrong and they should be punished by the authorities, it's also important to note that most of the culprits in the series are not truly cold-blooded and ruthless people, but ones that were blinded by vindictiveness. Meanwhile, the victims themselves are the ones who're usually portrayed as having bad personality, at least on moral level, which leads to their own demise. However, this is not a pattern as there have been exceptions. Furthermore, the crimes sometimes also occur due to unfortunate misunderstandings.
