There are an ambitious father and son antagonists. Lawyer father wants to become co-owner of FL grandpa's law firm by marrying her off to his son, who's a prosecutor with dreams of grandure. Neither FL, nor grandpa have a clue about these nefarious plans. ML and prosecutor will frequently clash in court judging by the intro.

Not with nothing. Great aunt's long term investment inheritance will turn into profit. At least that's how it was in the book.

Doesn't he frequently play this type of a bit dumb villain?

Yea, gotta wonder how many other sus documents she signed without a clue what they're about. Could have as easily signed that she sells herself into slavery, or donates all of her organs. She's such a dumb dumb, only rarely she comes up with a good plan, mostly riding out on sheer luck 🤣

Also, I can't believe Won Sang Woo, after quetly sitting in the psychiatric ward for years, deliberately went and allowed himself to be killed just like that. Also, where was the the sideways camera shooting from? 😱🤦‍♂️
I guess now that Park Jae Sang (tentatively) is out of the picture, full wrath of the orchid society will come crashing down on the sisters. Looks like crazy bitch has a superior - that museum grandpa.
But I believe Choi dad and son will still help them out.

I feel like last the two episodes were diving too deep into farce - the plot stopped being believable with frequent unreliable narration, overcomplicated caper plans and public shows. Not something I would have liked, tbh. At this point the cool myserious and dangerous vibe is all but gone, the conclusion seems to be going into safe tropey showdown with the villains.

This show is a joke on how much lawyers actually cost (a lot) and how big their salaries are irl. Even in the drama everybody is baffled of ML. It's also nine times less than minimum wage per hour in SK. So you can't possibly live with that kind of salary. Hence it is unclear how ML continues to keep his appearances, but it's understandable that he can't even pay rent. And he doesn't even use this money - he collects it in a jar. There's going to be some explanation later, I bet, why he fights for the little guy so much and how he manages to live like this for several years already.

And although "pro bono" cases are a thing for lawyers, usually there's a quota on them per year, like, 50 hours per year, for example, reserved to provide non-profit legal services or at a lowered price. There are also public defenders, but they get paid by the state.

If it followed the book I wouldn't have even started watching it, not interesting, and there were western adaptions of it already.

No, it's not a thing.

I got the vibe that since Vincenzo was about Italian mafioso with Italian motifs they intentionally made that drama in the style of old opera sub genre - opera buffa. Too many similarities with absurd and comical situations escalating out of control in every episode only to calm down and begin again in the next.

I just love FL's facial expressions and ML's weird unfazed manner of speaking 🤣 Is it called "calm trolling" or "sly mentoring" tone 🤔?

In Vincenzo almost every episode ended with leads being threatened with deadly harm and/or jail and in the next episode it was resolved as easy as pie in the first few minutes. Stopped being suspensful fast after repeating it so many times.

This is hilarious 🤣

Can't wait to see in what crazy direction this drama gonna go this week, can't predict anything, but I'm here for the ride 😀. TvN are on fire this season, airing one unpredictable awesome drama after another. They may as well hold this streak until the end of the year if Umbrella will be of the same quality, cuz December is already set with AoS: Part 2.

I'm sure that guy's mental capacity was simply verified off screen, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to present himself in court without assistance. EAW did have a big focus on autistic people, but even there medical examination and presenting of medical examination reports were done prior court proceedings, like it should. Of course, that doesn't stop one side or the other from trying poking at it some more for their benefit, but it simply didn't happen in TYH. And again, no matter on what side of the spectrum an autistic person is, if physically they are an adult they'll be tried, though sentence may vary. Why he was given such a harsh one in TYH is up to debate, but again, different cases, different judges, jury or no jury...And of course it's a fictional drama, invoking strong reactions from the audience by showing injustice is a common trick.

All in all, I disagree with you, for a rom-com TYH's court and law firm's scenes were done well and gave sufficiently believable background for the main focus of the drama. Lawyers even went to different court houses, like they should, which is often forgotten in court dramas where we see same court building and room no matter where the case is registered. And cases were taken seriously, unlike some dumb circus and braggery like in Military Prosecutor Doberman, Vincenzo and the likes.

Also, not sure why you're mentioning crimes commited under influence here, but in most countries it's an aggravating, not an extenuating circumstance.

Be careful about labeling autistic people, there's a whole spectrum of them. The guy in the drama clearly was on the side of a spectrum that allowed him to present himself in court. And even those adults who are indeed lacking in mental acuity and have mental age of a child are still tried. If you don't like reading about it you can at least watch Extraordinary Attorney Woo drama - there were cases about neurodivergent people there and FL was on the spectrum as well.

They don't exist 🤣 Law education in SK and around the globe is so popular because everyone wants to become lawyers with their big salaries. That's why this drama is a reversal joke on that fact. The only cases lawyers don't take money for are public pro bono cases they're obliged to take by the state.
Dunno why ML asks so little for his job and how he manages to live without money (he collects those small bills in a jar) while maintaining his suave appearance, but I'm sure we'll find out. Probably got pissed off at some injustice while working as a prosecutor.

Though it's a tired old plot about lawyers/prosecutors again, it's very good so far. The leads are doing a great job and script is funny.
Even FL's grandpa is a familiar funny face from Suspicious Partner where he also played a law firm's chairman. He was also in this year's ABP as well.

Sounds like nitpicking. It's not a court drama, but a rom-com, so of course legal cases are not the focus here, but leads relationship. And they've nailed it. However, everything related to law firm's and courtroom's inner workings is done in a competent way (there clearly was some consulting on the side) and few cases that were presented here were investigated seriously, especially about that murder/fraud. There's no dumbassery or circus in court scenes, like in many dramas that are actually presented as court dramas.

Yes
