You do know that the writer was a former judge, right? They've seen everything.
But that was the point of writing fiction, to explore things that likely will never happen in real life. Especially if it was meant to be a comedy and not a melodrama or soap opera.
As I've said before, the logic of the argument was solid, however, it is also equally ridiculous because that's not going to happen IRL. Even if the lower and appeals courts agreed, no Supreme Court in the world will agree to it because it will result in a Constitutional crisis and civil war. Not even the SC of PRC will agree to that even if it means protecting the marginalized and victims.
It wasn't poor writing, it was intentional.
I do understand where you're coming from. I did react and do react similarly for a few shows. All I'm saying is that, at least for this particular show, it was intentional. They want to explore the what-ifs and create this universe where ridiculous logic and plans win the day.
I think that's the charm or escapism the show is offering us. 😁
Usually, languages defined State borders in the pre-Colonial era, it's interesting how IndoChina of Asia ended up with mix languages and cultures that has little connection to the current State borders.
I mean, compared to the Philippines and Indonesia, and other Maritime Asia, they're separated by islands which ensured languages, cultures, and regional borders to be largely related. But in land-locked countries of IndoChina, the distribution of languages and cultures rarely reflected how the State borders were defined. (I guess it's more political?)
I don't know why there is so much hate for Ye Eun. Personally, I really like her. I know she is different to So…
Exactly.
People just don't understand her. She's like our youngest brother, always seen as rude, disrespectful, etc. But that's just their generation.
I'm GenXennial so I understand the early to mid GenZ peeps. We're the bridge. We lived in both worlds.
GenX'ers and Boomers will never understand them. They're too detached and are not good in accepting the changing times. It's always about their standards. I know, because as a GenXennial, I'm also subjected to being forced to accept the GenX and Boomer standards.
The difference is that, as a GenXennial, I learned to quietly reject it so as not to offend the GenX'ers and Boomers. Bet the GenZ'ers, it's "accept us or suck it up". That's why they always appear rude, this, and that.
It's a generational gap issue.
- Boomers and GenX'ers will always find GenZ'ers as rude, disrespectful, and everything else negative you can think of. - GenXennials lived and grew up in both worlds so they understand both sides. - GenZ'ers, "accept us for who we are, or.shut the hell up". 🤪
Oh, wait! I forgot the GenY / GenM. They're the … late GenY/GenM are like early GenZ'ers. Mid GenY/GenM have similarities with GenXennials.
The cases they are taking are based on truth but the resolutions are unrealistic. Most of these cases would have…
The logic was sound and solid. But in reality, no judge will actually accept that no matter how perfect it was. If the Supreme Court does agree for reason, this will be the fallout:
- China: the Dragon Emperor will eat the judges - North Korea: the Supreme Leader will shoot them on live TV - Russia: the Czar will imprison them and use them for experiments - Iran: you'll never know what hit you, but you'll be called heroes because it was apparently the enemies of Iran that murdered them - US: you'll get elected as President - Australia: they'll blame the Philippines instead of admitting their incompetence
The cases they are taking are based on truth but the resolutions are unrealistic. Most of these cases would have…
Correct. Like in E06, trapping the judge in such an argument as two countries in the same territorial boundaries can get an attorney dismissed in the court.
And a judge agreeing to it on an official basis is opening up a potential constitutional crisis and civil war. If it reaches the Supreme Court, it's a guaranteed 100% "no". Unless the judges in the Supreme Court are as crazy as the attorney, and the appeals court, and the lower court judges who agreed to it. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
These cases continue to be so interesting and full of twists. I’m glad this show is highlighting the marginalized…
I'm suspecting it has to do with her father. She knows something about his father and she doesn't agree with him.
She likely decided that the ML is her best ally, but she cannot afford to reveal the secret she discovered about her father because the ML's mouth can't be trusted to keep some things under wraps. 😂
If my analysis is correct, she's practically holding a double-edged sword by the blade. She is hurting herself by fighting against her father who is proud of the power he has, and she is also hurting herself by using a friend and colleague to the point that she had to orchestrate a fake bribery to get him. No matter what happens, she will never be the winner. She's going to lose the power her father built, and she's going to lose a powerful friend.
I don't get why the CEO's father wants to disband the Pro Bono team
It will be explained in the rest of the episodes.
But if you're looking for speculations, I'd say, it's a typical conglomerate mindset in fiction. For example, he repeatedly told his daughter that he is happy if he has power. When a person says something like that, expect them to use that power however they want because it means proving that they have the power to do anything they want.
Yes, there are good people who use their power for good. But power does corrupt. And even if you don't intend to, power can make someone else's life miserable.
We can safely say that the father, at this point, is simply enjoying having that power and using it.
It is also possible that the cases the Pro Bono team handled eventually all have connections to the father. For example, the father was probably the one who made sure the President gets elected. The Pro Bono team almost set up the President to become a total clown in the world stage.
If he was indeed the one who placed the President there, it is a grave insult to almost turn the President as a laughing stock. The father will take that as a declaration of war. So, he told his daughter to disband them. Better do it early before they make more issues for him.
If that theory is correct, then the power he is talking about is: I am the real ruler of South Korea.
No, it is actually very realistic.Many first-world countries often have issues where couples get married and then…
There's that too. Destination countries ends up carrying the burden if they don't get strict on who can enter, or don't get strict in deportations.
The border system, economic system, and our "national pride" / patriotism / nationalism, are what's causing these inequality, discrimination, desperation, and poverty. It's really sad we can't get over these artificial systems our forefathers created.
GalacticTheory said it was Burmese (Myanmar). Since she's brown, yeah, definitely Asian.
In another thread somewhere, Bangladeshi. Which is also possible since these countries are neighbours and the Burmese language has a wider spread than it's current State borders. (Burmese is also spoken in some parts of Tibet for example.)
did they explain why she married re tard boy in the first place? seems very unrealistic. for citizenship? she…
No, it is actually very realistic.
Many first-world countries often have issues where couples get married and then divorce later. The native gets paid for it.
It is actually no longer easy of couples, where one is Korean, to travel to Korea together. Korean embassies often ask ridiculous proofs to prove they're actually a couple. It doesn't matter if.they have a kid or is married because again, under the right conditions, they can divorce in Korea without the spouse getting deported, even naturalised as a Korean citizen.
The strictness is understandable because there really are bad actors abusing the system.
So, yep, it is realistic. It still is happening to this day and will always happen for as long as there is poverty and borders.

We're finally going to see YeEun compete in these type of games in RM. Hehehe.
It's too sad Daniel didn't make it to next week's episode.
- China: the Dragon Emperor will eat the judges
- North Korea: the Supreme Leader will shoot them on live TV
- Russia: the Czar will imprison them and use them for experiments
- Iran: you'll never know what hit you, but you'll be called heroes because it was apparently the enemies of Iran that murdered them
