Law, Action, Thriller, Crime

Bong Sang Pil was the lawyer who tried to find the culprit who killed mother. He promised his mother that he would like to become a lawyer like his mother. His mother tried to protect him and asked to not to trust anyone in the Gisung and never came back there. His mother ordered him to stay with his uncle if anything happened to her. After 18 years, Sang Pil became a lawyer and learnt a lot of fighting skills from his uncle who was a thug. He came back to his hometown to revenge for his mother.

He hired Ha Jae-yi who was being suspended for punching the judge. The reason why he hired her is because her mother once saved his life from danger. He wanted to protect Jae Yi and payback what her mother had did for him. He was going to find the evidents that caused the death of his mother. He wanted to punished the thug and the judge Cha at all cost. He knew that the famous Judge in Gisung was the one who controls everything. He was looking into the crime that they committed. Jae Yi was impressed by the intelligence of Sang Pil and she was willing to help him to fight for their client by law. Sang Pil was a smart lawyer that he knew the loophole in the law and fight for his clients. Besides, he is also a good fighter who fight without any weapon.

Jae Yi treated Judge Cha as her mom. Sang Pil knew it and wanted to prove to her that whatever things that Judge Cha did was a lie. Jae Yi decided to found out the truth about her mother death. She asked Sang Pil’s uncle why he came to Kiseong and at the same time she also started to believe Sang Pil and supported him with the trial by finding evidence. Jae Yi knew that Judge Cha was the one who ordered someone to kill her mother. She could not accept the fact at first but eventually she has to. She wanted to tell her father about it and asked him not to support both Judge Cha and Mr Au for competing for Mayor position, but he failed to listen to her. Sang Pil also wanted to reveal the culprit who manipulated the evident and accused Mr Wu for murdering in order to get him out of the jail (he was one of the murderer who kidnapped Sang Pil and kill Jae Yi’s mother).

As the story go on, Jae Yi’s mom was still alive. She was ordered to live as a dead person and left the country for 18 years. She wanted to be with her family. Sang Pil’s uncle got to know the news from the Mr Wu (he released her and asked her to leave the country). But they kept is secret in order not to cause any more issue arose. Sang Pil managed to get Mr Wu out from the jail, however after he released from the jail, he has been caught and killed by Mr Au. Before he passed away, he passed his document to Jae Yi and Sang Pil so that they can used them to find evident to capture Mr Au. Sang Pil’s uncle was being called to Mr Au’s office and Mr Au threaten to put the blame on Sang Pil. They created a scene and accused Sang Pil for murdering his uncle. Judge Cha released the suspension period for Jae Yi. Thus, Jae Yi can now work as Attorney. She has a close relationship with Sang Pil. Her father disliked it. Judge Cha tried to influence her father to send her back to Seoul. However, she refused. She told her father regarding the truth about her mom disappearance, but he did not listen to her. She left the house and stayed with colleague.

Judge Cha tried to remove everyone who knew her crimes. This has caused Mr Au and her secretary’s anger. She framed her secretary for murder the Thai masseuse who believed to be Jae Yi’s mother. Jae Yi’s mother tried to gain as much evidence as possible to help Sang Pil with the case. Unfortunately, she has been caught by Judge Cha and Judge Cha instructed her secretary to kill her. Sang Pil saved Jae Yi’s mother and kept her in a safe place so that the judge can’t find her. Her secretary did not know the true identity of the Thai masseuse. She only knew when the judge told her about it.

Judge Cha framed and blamed all the fault to them. Sang Pil found out that the notebook that he received earlier from actually came from Judge Cha. He knew her intention to use him to get rid of all her comrade. Sang Pil tried to persuade Mr Au and her secretary to reveal Judge Cha’s wrong doings. At first, they hesitate to listen to what Sang Pil and Jae Yi said. However, when they knew that Judge Cha never kept her promises, they decided to stand the trial and revealed everything in the court in front of all the reporters from local and overseas so that Judge Cha can’t do ever she liked. During the trials, Judge Cha tried to stopped her secretary from answering the questions proposed by Sang Pil. She also tried to stop Sang Pil from asking the question that is related to her wrongdoings. But that’s did not stop Sang Pil from kept questioning the secretary. At last, even though Judge Cha did not confess her crime, she has been caught for investigation. Prosecutor invited Sang Pil and Jae Yi to the special unit force that fight against the corruption among the powerful person in the city.

I find Lee Joon Ki is a very charm and cool looking guy. I love to see his smile and his cool side of the character. He is very suitable to film the drama that involved fighting. I am looking forward to see the next project that he is going to film. Well, one thing I don’t like about this drama is that the follow the story is way too fast. The flow of it not really smooth enough. One more thing is how could Sang Pil knew about the plan of Judge Cha and Mr Au so accurately.
