1. Has the potential to face problems with close people
Working in the legal field, such as being a lawyer, makes them face various problems at any time. Unfortunately, not many people realize that the issues they handle can also be exhausting. Especially, a lawyer may also face problems involving their close ones, like Ahn Ju Hyeong (Lee Jong Suk).
Ahn Ju Hyeong has always avoided divorce cases and inheritance disputes. For him, these cases can be very exhausting to handle. Unfortunately, Ahn Ju Hyeong couldn't refuse his superior's orders and chose the cases he liked.
One day, Ahn Ju Hyeong received a divorce case involving his ex-boyfriend. Unfortunately, the client represented by Ahn Ju Hyeong was the husband of that ex-boyfriend. He clearly wanted to exchange the case with Bae Mun Jeong (Ryu Hye Young). However, his superior revealed that the client had forced them to assign the case to Ahn Ju Hyeong.
2. Meeting the client's high expectations
Lawyers are responsible for acting as legal advisors to their clients when facing a problem. Unfortunately, many clients believe that lawyers can make the law serve their expectations. The reality is that the client may also be involved in the legal case, so the court may not be able to make a decision according to the client's expectations.
This situation occurred and was experienced by lawyer Bae Mun Jeong. He often faced failures in resolving his clients' legal cases. One example was when a client wanted compensation of 700 million won from the defendant.
The case can be considered successful when the defendant was ordered to pay 650 million won to client Bae Mun Jeong. Clearly, Mun Jeong considered the case successful because his client had already received a payment of 50 million won before the decision was finalized. However, the client instead considered the case a failure and continuously complained to Mun Jeong's superior.
3. Mocked by rich people
Cho Chang Won (Kang Yu Seok) was the youngest lawyer before Kang Hui Ji (Mun Ka Young) joined. He is also known as rather careless among his friends. Moreover, Cho Chang Won is often looked down upon by his superior and frequently given trivial cases.
One day, Cho Chang-won was assigned by his superior to accompany the child of a wealthy businessman who was detained in a prison. He wasn't given the case, but only as a companion to chat with. Unfortunately, Cho Chang-won's experience with the client was very bad. He was looked down upon and regarded merely because he was an ordinary office worker.
4. So the target of hatred
The case faced by Ha Sang Gi (Im Jung Jae) is quite complicated because it only involves the victims of infidelity. The two people involved in the infidelity died in a car accident caused by drunk driving. One of the victims, Lim Woo Sung (Lee Sung Woo), believes that he should receive compensation from the family of the man who was driving.
Unfortunately, the man only left his inheritance to his two children under ten years old and a non-working wife. Although, Ha Sang Gi had to sue the three of them so that his client could receive a large compensation according to his client's will. In reality, the man's wife, Lee Su Jin (Yang Jo A), cursed Ha Sang Gi for leading her two young children.
Every job definitely has its own challenges to go through. However, there's nothing wrong with feeling tired from the routine and the continuous problems. According to you, what solutions can lawyers take to face these challenges in the drama? Law and the City ?
