The story depicts how Jang Won (played by Yoo Hye Young) and Sang Gi (played by Lim Seong Jae) feel their limitations and worry about their future.
When Mi-kyung (Hwang Jung-min) was found guilty, he expressed mixed feelings. Unable to afford the fine, Mi-kyung ended up in prison to do hard labor.
He begins to question the role of a prosecutor, as he feels the limitations of a profession where he cannot do anything other than defend his clients.
In the case of the Sue incident, he had no choice but to take a passive stance. The client, Chan-young (Jung Jin-seo), not only repeatedly committed school violence but also injured the assailant who approached with a knife.
He was charged with attempted murder after inflicting a fatal injury on the victim. The conditions for self-defense to be recognized are strict, so claiming innocence, as in Mi-kyung's case, would not have resulted in even greater damage.
On the other hand, Changwon decided to reduce Changyoung's sentence after taking into consideration the evidence of violence submitted by his client, his statements about the incident, and his family circumstances.
He decided to leave the company, and tweeted something that seemed to hint at his intention to leave, saying, "This may be my last case."
Using childcare leave, she meets with the head lawyer, Kyungmin (Park Hyun-soo).
After experiencing trouble, Moon-jung decided to take on the job she really loves, litigation, instead of simple consulting work. She brought along recipes, interior design, and even know-how, and opened a branch of her own accord.
The president of the tteokbokki restaurant who filed the lawsuit was in tears and felt sad that everything he had worked so hard to build had been taken away from him.
Moon-jung was angry at the president's tears, and although she had become heavy since becoming pregnant, she decided to go out on her own two feet for her client.
Evidence was collected and the similarities between the two tteokbokki restaurants were proven, along with the resulting damages. Encouraged by Moonjeong's arguments, the opposing party was ordered to cease operations and stop using the recipe.
Next, Moon Jung honestly revealed her feelings to her husband Ji Seok (Yun Kyun Sang), saying, "I really enjoy working. I'll think about using my parental leave a little more."
Ji-seok also gave her encouraging support and cheered her on, which touched her heart. However, the peace was short-lived as Moon-jung woke up to the sound of a notification and suddenly complained of stomach pain.
On the other hand, Sang-gi (Lim Seong-jae) is asked by the head lawyer Ryujin (Kim Ji-hyeon) to take a doctoral course.
He was given the proposal and his heart began to waver. Above all, he felt that it was fulfilling to be called "teacher" by the law school students he taught, so he visited the professor and decided to go on to the doctoral program.
In order to concentrate on his studies, he has to stop working for a while, so what path will Sangi, who loved to raise money, choose between work and studies?
