Life, it would seem, is all about choices. Even the smallest of decisions can effect your entire life. This is the theory proposed in Lawyers, the new hit K-drama series from MBC.

Kim Ju Hee (Jeong Hye Young) is a simple hard-working young woman. All she craves in life is happiness. She works hard as a secretary in a law firm, struggling to make enough money for her sister's operation. Secretly, Ju Hee is in love with her boss, the honorable young lawyer Seo Jeong Ho (Kim Sang Kyeong). Alas, he is married, so Ju Hee suffices to be a diligent and hard-working secretary as her way of expressing her forbidden desires for him.

Suddenly, out of the blue comes Yoon Seok Ki (Kim Seong Soo), Ju Hee's ex-boyfriend who has become a mean and shameless man. His client is under investigation by Jeong Ho and now Ju Hee is forced to see him every day. But that suits fellow secretary Yang Ha Young (Han Go Eun) just fine - she is out to land herself a rich husband, and thinks Seok Ki might just fit the bill.

Life is a series of multiple choices.

You sometimes find yourself standing at the fork of a road, which forces you to make a choice. Whether the decision is wise or not, it can be a major turning point in your life. A single choice can lead someone’s life in a completely different direction. This notion is what The Lawyers wants to portray.

A Two-Faced Monster Named ‘Choice’

To be or not to be… You face many different choices over the course of your life. Sometimes they can be something so important to decide life or death; sometimes they’re trivial choices, such as deciding what to eat for lunch. Even in a single day, you run into many occasions that you have to choose one over the other. Now, the person you love asks you to choose between love and ambition. You’re confused since you’re aware that you must stay the course whatever you choose.

The Moment of Naked Truth

There’s a secretary working at a law firm and a honest and experienced lawyer. Her ex-boyfriend who has turned into an evil man gets involved in the case they’re working on. It’s becoming a tug of war between desire and reason. They ask themselves. “What do I really want?” “True love? Or satisfy my ambition?” At the moment they make a decision, they take a irrevocable step, which they will remember for the rest of their lives. They get more and more honest about the way they really feel.

Loving someone is like showing your true self and waiting to be judged.

Whatever costume you wear, you can’t disguise your true self when you’re in love.

This drama portrays the conflicting lovers who must decide between love and ambition.

Unrealistic legal melodrama Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10

Since I am a lawyer myself, I thought that "Lawyers" might appeal to me. I discovered that my knowledge of lawyering probably decreased my enjoyment of the series. But let me set this point aside for a moment.

In "Lawyers", a Seoul law firm is hired to represent a rich guy who is seeking to protect his cash from an investigation into charges of criminal activity. At the client's direction, the firm brings in Korean-American lawyer Alex Yoon (Kim Sung Soo) to work with attorney Seo Jung Ho (Kim Sang Kyung) on the case. Jung Ho thinks the case stinks of illegality, so he wants nothing to do with it. Instead, he begins investigating the client's activities in an attempt to uncover the client's misdeeds. Alex Yoon and Jung Ho butt heads as they battle over the case, with the menace of the evil client always lurking in the background.

Alongside this storyline, we have the inevitable love triangle. Kim Joo Hee (Jung Hye Young) is a secretary at the law firm. Five years earlier, she and Alex Yoon had been engaged to be married. However, after her parents were killed and her sister maimed in an auto accident, Yoon mysteriously dumped Joo Hee and departed for America. In the intervening years, she has fallen in love with Jung Ho, who is trapped in a loveless marriage with a woman who is experience serious mental problems. When Alex Yoon returns from America and joins the firm, Joo Hee enters an emotional tailspin.

The series steamrolls through the first ten episodes, powered by the nefarious doings of Alex and his evil client. The story may be unrealistic, but it makes for very compelling viewing. Unfortunately, after the tenth episode, the wheels come off of this steamroller; the series bogs down in over-the-top melodrama. In these later episodes, Jung Hye Young's torpid, almost somnolent acting becomes a black hole sucking the life out of the series.

Now let me return to my opening theme. The series' depiction of law firm life simply is absurd. No lawyer working in a law firm would be permitted to work against the interests of his firm's client, but that is exactly what Jung Ho does here. Talk about a conflict of interest!!! Moreover, from the start to the finish of this series, we never see a single moment in which Jung Ho does any work for a paying client; he simply pursues full-time his unauthorized investigation into the firm's big client. In the real world, Jung Ho would have been fired in a heartbeat. Whenever the series attempts to depict discussions of legal issues or legal strategy, the discussions are meaningless gibberish; couldn't the producers of the series have hired a legal consultant to hone their scripts? A legal consultant surely could have helped make the series' lone courtroom scene less nonsensical.

Putting those issues aside, the first ten episodes tell a gripping yarn. It is unfortunate that the series gets so far off track in the concluding episodes. Kim Sang Kyung does an excellent job of depicting his deeply conflicted lawyer. Also excellent are Chu Sang Mi as Jung Ho's best friend at the law firm and Shin So Mi as Jung Ho's wife.
