## Synopsis

[edit]

A high school graduate, yet full of zest and keen sense of justice managed to pass the bar examination to be a qualified barrister-at-law against miscarriage of justice.

Inspired by the true stories of real-life lawyer Park Joon-young and journalist Park Sang-kyu, who succeeded in obtaining retrials for people who had been wrongfully convicted, wherein a 1999 case in which three innocent people were convicted of robbery and murder, and in 2000, the murder of a taxi driver at the Yakchon five-way intersection in Iksan, North Jeolla Province.[10]
