Following on from my previous comment, the ML mentioned he blackmailed the witness to testify, etc. Realistically speaking, why would a lawyer even do that? I know there are some real shady lawyers irl but generally speaking, why would you even risk your reputation and your license to win one case? Like getting struck off as a lawyer would be the worst thing that can happen so no lawyer would ever do something to risk their entire career just to win one case. At the end of the day, we are all going to work to get our salary and go home. Also, the MC could 100% report that ML to HR or any relevant regulatory body because he has lietrally harrassed him and even commited battery on multiple occasions in the workplace like wtf. One thing I liked so far is the first "test" they did, not that this would actually happen irl. I mean the comments the ML said were spot on. And what's funny to me is that we had a very similar case in our firm (of course some details were different and the issue was more region focused) but he was so qrite to say that you are always thinking about how to help your CLIENT. Yes it could be objectively right that the counterparty is correct, that's not what our job is. We need to find a loop hole or some sort of way to help the client win
I think for ML, it wasn't about money but his drive to win that he used underhand tricks; he did have a bad reputation, but as you said, it's win or loss for a lawyer. Not trying to defend ML on battery cause that ball grab pretty much crossed the line, but MC was trying to survive him and have his own place at Doguk, and maybe because they weren't complete strangers and had their little encounter with his dad's funeral. I think it played an influence on him for ML image, When ML slammed him in that bathroom he did say that "Erase that contemptuous look when you see me" MC was straightforward with his dislike towards the way ML work and still admired his skills. I loved their dynamic, and as well as how they didn't have a miscommunication phase. They were both straightforward with their like and dislike, their little workplace flirting.
Ok so I'm on chp 18 and there's a few thing I'm a bit confused about as someone who works in a law firm Corporate department: why is he (ML) as the Head of Corporate working on dispute cases? Sure, as the head of the department, his expertise could be needed but the litigation side of it would be dealt with by the disputes team, so that's something I'm confused about. Secondly, the precedents skill that the MC apparently has isn't necessarily an asset, at least not for someone working in the Corporate department.. that would be a great skill for a Knowledge Lawyer but precedents and contributing to the Knowledge Bank is usually a KPI for every fee-earner at a law firm. Thirdly, why are there so many papers to look through, like physical or printed paper??? I've only ever seen the dispute resolution department print paper, etc but the Corporate department barely does that or even need to do that cuz it's all digital. Is this because it's depicting a Korean law firm or did I just misunderstand their roles or something?
Don't get so into the law details... Its first and foremost a BL
Just enjoy this artpiece.
Fair enough!! I'll do that loll
Is Season 3 the final season?
I think so. Cauze after that, its a side story about their kids
Ahh ok thank you!
They skipped a lot of interesting parts of the novel..
Like why???
Care to shed light on those interesting parts? Pretty please .... I don't mind spoilers thanks
Spoilers ahead for those who don't wanna know:
From what I remember, it takes him a while to get out after getting kidnapped. He gets repeatedly drugged and keeps forgetting things, and once he regains some consciousness, his way to escaping the building itself was a lot more tense as there were some guards and he was spotted trying to escape, etc. but here they just skipped past all of that. When he runs from the building (he's like being chased cuz he jumped out of the building window, he gets quite hurt and bruised heavily, and, if my memory didn't fail me, i think he banged his head as well, and like he gets scuffled by the trees, and he ends up getting amnesia from all that trauma. It was just way more intense and they just breezed completely over that in the manhwa for some weird reason
Ah damn I should've just read the novel, that sounds more interesting
Ahh...I see now, they definitely breezed through...awwn I wanna read all that tension & action....thank you though
I fully shouted "WHAT?!?!" This is interestinggggggg
