Season 1:
Park Tae Yong is the first lawyer to overturn a wrongfully accused murder case in a retrial and stands in the public's spotlight. But because of his flagrant ego expressing his background and cheap counseling fees, low-class people line up in droves outside his firm. Meanwhile, Reporter Park Sam Soo, who got shunned away by Tae Yong, takes on a murder scoop with Lee Yoo Kyung. Later, a three-man murder case grabs both of their attention.
Sam Soo gets caught on camera acting as a slave for Mayor Kang, and the other news agencies capitalize on it. With his and News and New's reputation smashed, Sam Soo cleans his desk and leaves.

They agree to work together on the possible life-changing Samjung three-man murder retrial case and bring down those responsible.
Tae Yong sticks to his promise and does his best to represent Jung Myung Hee in court. Later, he declines the job offer from the Law Offices of Daeseok and goes all-in with the Samjung three-man murder case.

Meanwhile, Tae Yong meets with Kim Byung Dae regarding a settlement offer he mentioned before.
The three wrongly accused men in the Samjung three-man murder case decide not to sign on the settlement, putting everyone in a predicament. However, Mayor Kang and Head Prosecutor Jang Yoon Suk discover a loophole thanks to Supreme Court Justice Jo Ki Soo.

However, he decides to write an article with those tears to lure out the culprits and to empty people's pockets. Later, Tae Yong makes progress with Lee Cheol Gyu's contact.

Before getting taken away in handcuffs, Lee Cheol Gyu sincerely apologizes to the three people wrongly accused, along with the victim at her gravesite.
