"Beyond The Bar" And Thinking Outside The Box For Lawyers?

Soompi

I confess that Korean legal dramas can get more appealing. There are police genres and law genres. This is another legal drama, but there's a subtle love story. This is a drama that tries to explore what it's like to be a lawyer. Newbie lawyer vs. seasoned lawyer while working together? That's what  Kang Hyo-min (Jung Chae-yeon) a rookie lawyer, and Yoon Seok-hoon (Lee Jin-wook), a senior lawyer. 

What does it take to be a lawyer? Hyo-min is still learning the ropes. Graduation isn't the end, but the BEGINNING OF NEW STUFF! That's what Hyo-min discovers when she enters into the REAL TOUGH WORLD OF LEGAL DRAMA. Hyo-min discovers that THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE will never be enough to survive the lawyering profession. Fortunately, Seok-hoon becomes her constant partner who must teach her from experience. There's a 16-year age gap betwen the two -- which can be UNSETTLING FOR SOME. 

The romance is rather sidelined. Pride and Prejudice featured romance, but it was treated like icing. Most of the episodes feature several different cases akin to an American legal drama. Sure, I've been skipping most American shows these days. However, I couldn't help but draw the comparison with this brave attempt.
