On the evening of July 30th, 2022, a new suspense crime drama "Slang Lawyer" starring Lee Jong Suk and Lin Yun A premiered on Korean TV station MBC.
The story begins with the murder of Jiuchuan, which caused a sensation in the whole city. In a sudden car accident, the trunk of the accident vehicle was opened by external force, revealing the hidden body, and three upper-class bosses sitting in the car were arrested and imprisoned.
These three bosses have helped the mayor of Jiuchuan to take office, and they also control many secrets of the mayor. So the mayor had to obey his command and find a lawyer to help him get out of prison.
The timeline is pulled back to the protagonist Piao Chang-hao and his high school days. I met my wife on campus and became a lawyer with her encouragement and her own efforts after graduation.
The ideal is full and the reality is skinny. Although every defense is full of confidence, due to various reasons, Piao Chang-hao has been defeated repeatedly, and the winning percentage is only 10%. But such an incompetent lawyer is precisely the puppet that the upper class needs most. They don't need to think, they just need to listen to their orders and speak for them in court.
For this reason, Piao Chang-hao was taken away by the mayor. At the same time, the mayor asked Piao Chang-hao to be a double agent, pretending to promise to defend the criminals in Jiuchuan, but in fact, he took clues during the conversation with the criminals and found evidence to prove the facts of the criminals' murder. After that, he defected and killed the criminals.
The world of the upper class is complicated. Piao Chang-hao knows that this defense is full of dangers, but he is trapped in the plight of usury and can only choose to accept it. However, I never imagined that this defense would put him in jail and even be accused of being "the most difficult liar in South Korea".
