Right in this period where idols are under such pressure, I found this series particularly touching.
Haters and fans, depression, competition and jealousy/envy, lack of privacy and a "normal" life. As for this lawyer, bullied at school.
Here, a boy band singer is suspected of killing a classmate, and it's his die-hard fan, who is also a lawyer, who defends him.
The fact that the prosecutor was "pushed" to frame the suspect even though the evidence suggests otherwise highlights another problem: corruption. The hatred he harbored toward this poor lawyer, who personally bullied her in school, screams injustice.
This series exposes so many flaws in real Korean life.
The actor Kim Jae Young is used to playing unfortunate or strange kids, and here it fits. I also thought it was fitting that the actress Choi Soo Young who sings in the band Girl's Generations, was in her element, even though she's on the other side as a fan, in addiction to a defense attorney.

PS: The tickle tree really exists; it's called the Crape Myrtle, or Lagerstroemia. I learned something new.
