I really liked this too, and I didn’t feel he went too far. She needed a wake-up call for her bad behavior and…
Yep. He was holding himself back. He could've done more. He kept things within what's acceptable in courts. But still nailed it hard.
Sadly, you're right there are many kids smothered that way. They may not react simylarly as in the fictional kid, and though his condition is real, kids will still grow up thinking what they're doing is correct or fine because their parents said so.
It's one thing to care and protect but it's totally another to do it excessively. They don't realize that once they're gone, their kid will be alone without knowledge and experience to actually think for themselves.
That poor kid. Kids are very vulnerable. Parents should be very careful and mindful. Stop using the excuse "I…
Yes. We often dismiss something implausible but someone who genuinely cares should be extra careful.
It's similar to unintentional hypnotism. After a thorough study years ago (I think it's a decade already), the way authorities question anyone were changed to avoid it. There were indeed incorrect admission of crime because the way they were questiones inadvertedly planted the idea of them committing the crime.
Our mind is indeed mysterious. Our words do have power. Parent or not, we really should be careful.

I can totally relate to Foundation chair. You're more than happy and satisfied to see others succeed—especially…
When do you owe someone? 1. You asked someone if they can lend you money. You probably also told them, out of desperation, you'll pay a ridiculous interest. = You owe them. 2. Both of you agreed you owe them later. For example, "If I help you with your project, you owe me later, agreed?" Or, "If I answer you assignment, you owe me." You can owe someone without money getting involved.
Not every help is you owing someone. People say it's "gratitude". No, that's false and gravely misunderstood. "Gratitude" simply means being deeply thankful. No more. No less.
Strictly speaking, you shouldn't even feel "gratitude" if you owe them later. Why? Because the help wasn't free, you're going to pay them back for it one day. Honest people will even tell you, "Don't thank me, you owe me later."
You are only thankful, you only feel gratitude, if you receive something without any strings attached. That's what gratitude is. A deep thanks, period. If you're bothered with how to express that, you can: 1. Pay-it-forward (the best option) 2. Build a statue honoring that person (this is overboard but valid 🤣) 3. Tell other people how good they are (but don't tell them "If you need help, ask this person", they're not charity, well, unless they did they you to)
Do you now see the difference?
That's true gratitude. It has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with owing someone or paying it back. If you really need a way to express your true gratitude, then pay-it-forward.
I can totally relate to Foundation chair. You're more than happy and satisfied to see others succeed—especially those you helped—where you failed.
She wanted to be a lawyer but life took a hard turn and made her a business tycoon instead. She used that hard-earned money to help other people. And then watching them from the shadows as they become successful.
My only reaction is it would've been better if she said, "Just pay-it-forward" instead of, "Just keep doing what you're doing, that's how you repay me". I guess Koreans, or at least the writer and director, haven't heard of "pay-it-forward".
It's a better principle than what she said. It firmly establishes that (1) you helped them out of the goodness of your heart without expecting anything in return; (2) you reiterate that they don't owe you anything and they can feel at ease; and (3) you are sending a teaching them a very important life principle: do not hesitate to help others too if and when the opportunity arises. (It doesn't mean you'll help everyone, and it doesn't mean it has to be financially.)
But either way, our dear Lawyer is already doing exactly that, paying-it-forward. A simple way of connecting someone to the foundation is paying-it-forward because otherwise that someone is more likely not going to make that connection.
(He's even going to sponsor the guy himself but through the foundation. Which is very wise too, you avoid any potential issues that might arise. (Often, jealous people whispering evil assumptions.))
Which is good for the foundation as well. They can't possibly know everyone who deserves their help. Introducing people, especially from those they helped before, can change people's lives.
Though they didn't say pay-it-forward directly, that's exactly what it is.
Don't pay back the people you helped you, because that will negate their voluntary help. Pay-it-forward by helping others and teach them to do the same. Do not confuse this to paying someone you owe. (More on this below.)

That poor kid. Kids are very vulnerable. Parents should be very careful and mindful. Stop using the excuse "I did it because I love you". No. You don't love your kid. You love yourself.
I love the scene where the 1ML was crushing the mother. I do the same when someone tries to blame me for their mess, and I always enjoy it. It's so sweet.
You start slow. You lead them on to a corner. But you don't point fingers at them, instead, you make them realize it themselves. There is no perfect crushing defeat other than them trapping themselves. And then you hit the final nail on their coffin with one strong blow.
BOOM. The end. They buried themselves 6 feet under. You just guided them gently.
I can't wait for them to take on a case related to hard of hearing. She can speak KSL so it's inevitable she'll have a related case later. I'm more excited about it.
Anyone noticed they were drinking coffee from a whiskey glass?
It must have been cold, no-ice, coffee. 🤣🤣🤣 Otherwise, that doesn't make sense, they'll burn their hands and that type of glass has a limit on hot temperature. 😅😅
Not so sure what to think - was the ex-wife having an affair or did she abort her pregnancy ecause they made a…
Here's what I think:
1. She aborted the child because of their pre-nuptial agreement OR she did because it wasn't his. 2. He pieced together everything, he's a lawyer, his brain is wired that way. 3. Both of them agreed to divorce 4. Years later his ex-wife got married and is now pregnant
LOL. This is like the third or fourth show in less than 30 days I saw an age gap war. 😅
What I'm saying is, I think if an age gap is not your cup of tea, it seems to be a trend for the next few months. There's even an on-going Pdrama with an age gap debate too, so it's not only in Kdrama.
There's YoonA's and HanNa's upcoming show too, already have an active age gap war. 😅
Oh that theme of the tea was so brilliant! So subtle and telling it all. I love it!ML passed the tea test :) And…
Yep. The tea was a very nice, thoughtful, and deep touch. It's rare to see this approach these days, especially that scene where it focused on the tea. It was so perfect. You can see the unspoken words there as well as makes it easier to relate to that short but significant "deep" talk.
So now woo tae shik is really dead? Cause since that episode i thought he didn't die but no sign of him till now…
Don't rely on "Main Role", especially not in MDL and other similar sites. Those "roles" are ambiguous to begin with. They actually should remove those or use different labels.
Also, when we try to correct it based on the actual show, they often deny the edits. 🤷🏽
This isn't the first time someone was tagged as Main Role but only had a total of 120 minutes or less exposure. 🤪 And someone tagged as a guest who had 140 minutes total exposure.
uuuugh you are dangerously thinking like the parents - the little kid is NOT dead weight, honey. It is a CHILD.…
He is not thinking that way. He is trying to make sense of the messy scenes. And to add, he was originally hunting the kid.
To the OP, the entire scenes from.the shootout to the ending are nothing but an attempt to illicit emotions because they ran outf ideas. Nothing whatsoever made any sense.
They're in their 20s but at that moment they're acting like 10-year olds. They trained to kill but they never used that training. There were multiple gunshots but the 1FL didn't care. They poured gas all around them, but they alu ignored them. She gave him the death stare while everything burns.
It can't be attributed to shock because she was clearly not in shock. She's actually very composed too. She didn't lashed out.
It was the lowest form in this series.
At least the other guy died valiantly, he stood and fought. He realized, "enough is enough, it's time to fight back". The rest of them? They need to wake up. Do they really want to live? Then kill or be killed.
Stand up and fight.
That's what happens when all they do is.be a pacifist and cry tears and be emotional. There's a proper time for mourning, when no one wants them dead.
This is what happen when you don't kill the bad guy when you had a chance.
Exactly. They wasted their training.
They're supposed to be: 1. In their 20s 2. Trained to kill 3. Fighting for their lives
But nope. Don't kill anyone even if they're shooting at you or swinging and stabbing knives. 🤷🏽
Someone even shouted, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US?!
Yuhoo. You should've known that already at this point? They see you as nothing but products, defective ones at that. In other words, they're evil people.
If they want to play the psychological/mental card, they should've done so from the start. At this point, it's just an excuse to illicit emotions because they ran out of ideas.
I knew the detective was going to be useless and the man did not disappoint. 🙄
Which detective are you talking about?
Are you talking about the detective who contacted the defects?
1. He did not "show" his evidence to the bad guy. The one who did that was another detective who took photos of the files the FL gave him.
2. He did not leak anything. Remember, he is trying to help them by solving the case.
3. He did not die of a car crash. The goon leader pressed a remote and the detective's car exploded.
4. The goon leader not shooting them was the silliest excuse to ensure the defects remain alive. The entire scenes from that point was laughable.
They ignored the shooter to cry and shout. They ignored the goons pouring gas around them so they can continue crying and shouting. The 1FL stared fiercely at the goons leader as if her death stare can kill him. All the while, everyone continued crying and shouting while everything burns around them, and they're not feeling the heat.
Absolutely nothing made any sense from the shooting to the ending.
The goon leader was like, "Are you f*** kidding me? They're ignoring me?! I'm holding a gun! I shot them!"
"Hey, pour gas everywhere around them. Just ignore them. They're in a different world right now. They won't see you."
Basically, they created those dumb scenes in an attempt to illicit an emotional response. They made the characters in their 20s act like they're 10 year old kids. 🤷🏽

Based on the dialogues, that was how she was convinced to take law. In other words, she isn't even a law student yet.
Korea doesn't have a law against pretending to be a lawyer? 😲
I mean, we have TINLA and IANAL because that law is very common everywhere.
TINLA = This Is Not Legal Advice
IANAL = I Am Not A Lawyer
