Seocho Ward Lawyer Movie Content

An Ju Hyeong, a senior lawyer with nine years of experience, is known for his cold personality but his excellence in the profession. He became a lawyer because he found logic and cases interesting, but early in his career, he never believed that lawyers should protect the weak, uphold justice, or make a difference in society. Despite being one of the youngest lawyers with the most seniority and highest salary, he refused to open his own office because he thought it was too much trouble. However, the seemingly peaceful walls of the workplace began to show signs of cracks.

On the other hand, Kang Hui Ji is a passionate young lawyer who is well-liked by her colleagues for her sociable and optimistic personality. She believes that “by changing one person’s life, you change their world.” Whether she has had a lack of money or an abundance, she always maintains her confidence and honesty in her work.

Along with them are Bae Mun Jeong, Cho Chang Won and Ha Sang Gi – close colleagues, each with a distinct personality. These five lawyers not only face thrilling cases in the courtroom but also overcome many challenges in daily life. Through shared meals and everyday stories, they build strong friendships, accompany each other to grow and develop in their careers.

The film not only realistically depicts the legal profession but also conveys messages about friendship, change and the meaning of working with both heart and mind.
