> Truth always surfaces. This drama is your typical "law" drama. sprinkled with some action and some awesome looking fights. The drama was never too boring. It had just the right pacing as well. I also has a perfect villian(s) and the show solid characters backed by good plot.


PLOT
------

An interesting take on the age-old fight between corruption and people who are suffering from it, this time has taken on a more personal level as it seems at first, but getting deeper and deeper with each passing episode. The plot has the main storyline it follows all-through the show, more and more additions make the story to grow and develop to several climax moments throughout it.

Well placed action scenes, the lawlessness factor that is exactly as prominent as needed, but not overwhelming, and a sprinkle of romance that is not forced and seems rather natural all created a great environment for the watcher to live along this journey of revenge and justice.

Admittedly, some cliches or obvious outcomes for situations are present, but not in overwhelming amounts. For those who are watching K-dramas for a while, it is well known that is not a true K-drama if it doesn't have some sort of cliche in it.

CAST
------

One word - brilliant. A team of talented actors of different ages that perfectly merged together with their characters, making us believe all of their decisions and emotions. Two stand-outs for me were Lee HyeYoung (judge Cha MoonSook) and Lee JoonGi (lawyer Bong SangPil). Both actors portrayed each emotion to tiniest nuance and made their characters believable from the second they appeared on the screen. Extra cookie points to Lee JoonGi for all the hard work with action scenes. Hats off!

I watched this show for Seo Ye-ji ( **Its Okay to be Not Okay** fame ) and she has the same fiesty character here but down-the-line her character disappears for a while (second-fiddle) and then resurfaces strongly at the end.

Hyungnims of the Fearless Lawyers/Loan Sharks/Hooks are hilarious and have done their roles very well.


VERDICT
------------
There is an unpredictable and intense plot, a powerful emotional drama, a very funny comedy to the point that you can laugh and laugh, and also, perfectly selected (made) music for each moment (and that's not all!). And with all that - it's amazingly and impressively directed (fights, dialogues, other actions).

Overall the acting/cast was the best part about the drama. The story really isn't anything new. I would just put it at average but it isn't a drawback also ... just well done . It most definitely would not be everyone's cup of tea , but I would suggest giving it a go! You won't regret it.

Drama and Action. Top notch acting by main and supportive actors. Great plot and story line development throughout all episodes. Bong Sang-Pil (Lee Joon-Gi) masterminds a long con game to bring his parents killers to justice. He will go to almost any limit to achieve his goal. Watch it, you will enjoy it.
