She vehemently denies it, but he encourages her to dream big, even praising her for a good job on the Kangsung case. Later, Ki-do asks Chak-hee if she’s interested in the chairman’s shares. Well, she does get Jangsan’s chairman fussing over her - and an offer of his shares. She exposes the affair between the plaintiff and Kangsung’s CEO, earning her his ire and a slap in the face. Well, Shi-baek should probably have taken the offer for his client, because at court, Chak-hee ends up winning with a hidden card. Shi-baek rejects her settlement offer, but he does help her fix a crick in her neck, LOL. In contrast, despite being at the top of his law school class, Shi-baek only has a 3% win rate and is known as a wacko for his eccentric ways. As an ace with a 92% win rate, Chak-hee is about to be promoted as a partner - but she’s also known as Jangsan’s dog, ready to bite anyone at her master’s order. As they trade barbs, we learn how notorious they both are, but on opposite sides of the spectrum. Upon returning to his office, he finds himself in a meeting with Chak-hee, who comes to offer a settlement before the case gets to court. He just doesn’t get paid much for it because he’s a public defender.Įntering a pharmacy, he purchases Kangsung’s birth control pills… and even swallows a couple himself?! The clerk looks at him weirdly, but Shi-baek does have a reason for doing that: he’s investigating the pill’s side effects because he’s the lawyer of the former employee suing the company. But as it turns out, he does have a job as a lawyer. He has that sus vibe.Įlsewhere, we finally meet our other lead JWA SHI-BAEK ( Lee Kyu-hyung), who gets accused of not having a job after he pilfers an ice cream from a small store while not paying for it. After the meeting, Ki-do tells her to do a good job so she can get what she wants. Well, after they watch the CCTV footage of her office, where she logged 124 hours for just one case, they couldn’t say anything against her promotion. As the board discusses her promotion to partner, Jangsan CEO JANG KI-DO ( Jung Jin-young) calls her back to defend herself.Īs established earlier on, the people around her don’t like her very much, and it seems Ki-do’s wife OH HA-RAN ( Kim Hye-eun) has it out for her, questioning the validity of Chak-hee’s logged hours at work. Chak-hee’s on the hunt for evidence she can use in her argument for the case.īut cutting her work short is some office drama. Working up towards being a law partner, she’s currently working on a case for Kangsung Pharmaceuticals regarding their birth control pills, after a former employee accused the company of producing and distributing the drug while knowing of its side effects. Everyone is holding their breath once she arrives, but she immediately leaves after receiving a call. The next day, at Jangsan Law Firm, employees are tense as they wait for the “Dark Lord” - yup, they’re talking about Chak-hee, known for her cutthroat personality and strict work ethic. That doesn’t win her brownie points with the rest of this snobbish group at all, and she’s usually treated with condescension. She’s often mistaken as the daughter of the chaebol family for her tender and close relationship with the chairman, who actually treats her as his own granddaughter. It’s our protagonist NOH CHAK-HEE ( Jung Ryeo-won). Standing up front with the chairman is his family: his son, his wife, and someone who is mistaken to be his granddaughter.
Stepping out from the cars are a number of important-looking people, who all rush to greet the Jangsan Law Firm’s chairman before they pay respect to his late father. The show opens on a somber, rainy day as a slew of black cars head to a cemetery. Like with most dramas, this first week is all about setup. After she uncharacteristically does a good deed, our heroine attempts to find her footing as her world is suddenly turned upside down.Įditor’s note: Coverage will continue with weekly hangouts.
May It Please the Court introduces us to our heroine – an ace attorney - in what feels like a slow-paced yet quick start to the drama. 19 SeptemSeptemMay It Please the Court: Episodes 1-2 (First Impressions) by meryl
