Cast and characters

A nine-year lawyer with a high level of fact-driven logic at Kyungmin Law Firm. He didn't initially think of becoming a lawyer as a career that stands up for justice and protects the weak; instead, he chose to become a lawyer because he enjoys logic and cases. He is also an industry veteran, having spent nine years at the same firm. Even though his associate lawyer salary has reached new heights, he has no desire to open his own legal practice. However, his stable and comfortable work life starts to show signs of cracking.
A second-year lawyer at Johwa Law Firm. She is a person who lives in the belief that "if you change one individual's life, you changed that one individual's world".
