Park Jung Hwan (Kim
Rae Won) is a prosecutor very close to the ‘grey’ area of law, which means as
long as it’s under the table he is willing to do it. Though not completely
corrupt to the core, his boss prosecutor Lee Tae Joon (Jo Jae Hyun) is, and by
aiding his boss, Jung Hwan wants to climb to the top. On the other hand his
ex-wife prosecutor Shin Ha Kyung (Kim Ah Joong) is as white as they come, as
she believes that law is a way of living, and by not abiding that law her
ex-husband Jung Hwan should be cuffed.
After finally managing
to put his boss on the spot as the Prosecutor General, Jung Hwan is diagnosed
with brain cancer, and is told that he only has 6 months to live. Refusing to
admit reality he tries to find a doctor and manages, but this particular doctor
is a criminal who is soon to be trialed. Promising to save the doctor, Jung
Hwan goes under the knife, ony to have the surgery fail, and reducing his 6
months to 3 months.
Tae Joon, thinking
that Jung Hwan has died, cuts Jung Hwan off and in order to save his own
brother makes Ha Kyung out to be a criminal. After waking up Jung Hwan is told
his situation and about Ha Kyung, which makes his face Tae Joon, who refuses to
release Ha Kyung.
That is when Jung Hwan
promises to make sure that not only is he going to get her out, but he will
make Tae Joon pay for framing her…
Okay! First of all
sorry for the kind of misleading/boring summary, but this drama is really good!
Besides being mature, this drama had me cling to my seat most of the time. Some
people might find it boring, and it can be as the complication of the entire
law part, is really boring, but the fact that they are able to make me follow
and understand every part of the law and also the conspiracy. I like Kim Rae
Won’s portrayal of this ‘good-guy-gone-bad’ and how he changes after his life
gets shaken up. I have to admit I was quite terrified how little they valued a
human life, and how easy it was for them to not only not care of their dying
co-worker, but also how little they cared for his family. I know it sounds
weird, but they seriously were all waiting for Jung Hwan to die, and kept implying
that. Anyways, really good acting and amazing cast. The story is almost
perfect, though it can become too confusing at times - boring at others…
