Sypnosis

Set in Hankuk University Law School, the series tells the story of students and professors in the law school who come across an unusual case. A professor at a prestigious law school and his students get involved in an unprecedented case. A drama about the process of prospective lawyers realizing authenticity, law and justice.

Yang Jong-Hoon (Kim Myung-min) is a former prosecutor-turned-professor at Hankuk University Law School. He is straightforward and tends to unleash biting remarks. Students don't like him because of this and nickname him "Yangcrates." Yang Jong-Hoon does not care what his students think of him and is rather focused on cultivating personnel for the law field who will be able to contribute meaningfully. Professor Kim Eun-Sook (Lee Jung-eun) is his only colleague that he can speak openly with.

Kang Sol (Ryu Hye-young) and Han Joon-Hwi (Kim Bum) are first year law school students. Kang Sol barely got into law school. She comes from a poor family background, being raised by a single mother. At school, she is surrounded by students who are smart and come from wealthy backgrounds and feels insecure and even shameful. Kang Sol slowly learns about the true legal profession. Han Joon-Hwi is an attractive young man with leadership qualities who is at the top among first year law school students.

During a supervised mock trial class, a law school professor is found dead at the school, and Professor Yang is arrested as the main suspect. Kang Sol, Han Joon-Hwi, and other students at Hankuk work together to reveal the truth behind Professor Seo's death and prove Professor Yang's innocence.
