Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Yoon Seok-Hoon (Lee Jin-Uk) is a partner lawyer and leader of the litigation team at Yullim Law Firm. He is a cool-headed risk-taker who pressures his opponents with creative logic. He is admired by his colleagues with his solid skills as a lawyer, but he is not easy to approach because of his cold attitude and complete lack of small talk. Kang Hyo-Min (Jung Chae-Yeon) is a rookie lawyer and works with Yoon Seok-Hoon. She is socially awkward, but she is righteous and confident. She clashes with Yoon Seok-Hoon over everything, but grows into a real lawyer.
