You know her name.

The series follows the life of Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer who eventually becomes the infamous criminal attorney Saul Goodman.

However, one of the most intriguing characters has outshined the infamous lawyer with her intriguing storyline and impeccable performance.

Kim is the only character aside from Saul who has managed to captivate audiences with her charm, wit and intelligence.

At first glance, she may seem like just another supporting figure on the show. As the series progresses, however, it becomes clear that Kim is much more than that.

An associate at Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill, Kim is an ambitious and driven attorney who is determined to succeed on her own terms.

Unlike Jimmy, who is often willing to take shortcuts to get ahead, Kim is a stickler for the rules and believes in doing things the right way. Part of what makes Kim such a compelling character is her complex personality.

On the one hand, she is a confident and independent woman who is not afraid to speak her mind. On the other hand, she is also vulnerable and has her own insecurities.

Her relationship with Jimmy is a prime example of this. Although they are clearly in love, they struggle to balance their personal and professional lives.

Kim's constant battle between her head and her heart is what makes her such a relatable character.

However, while Jimmy is portrayed as a trickster who deliberately worsens not only his situation but also his reputation, Kim is always on the lookout for remorse.

Miss Wexler is the embodiment of all that is bad and good in people. She has an angel on her right shoulder and a demon on her left, and they are constantly fighting each other.

Kim does not fail to help her lover, but after each time she tries to ask for forgiveness and takes on pro bono cases.

In one situation where she is forced to take an old man's house for her Mesa Verde bank, Kim even deliberately involves Jimmy to help the elderly man.

And while Jimmy just tries to pick fights with anyone who has achieved more than he has, and just destroys the rule makers, Kim really tries to help people.

This is what distinguishes her from the hapless lawyer who eventually becomes Saul/ Slippin' Jimmy at the end of the series.
