‘The Lawyers of the Round Table’ has captured the attention of viewers in its first episode.
On the first broadcast of ‘The Lawyers of the Round Table’ on Monday the 13th, the ‘The Devilish Chairman’ case and the ‘The Battered Husband’ case that shocked everyone from the very first incident were revealed.
‘The Lawyers of the Round Table’ is a divorce entertainment program that analyzes and solves stories based on actual divorce cases. The 65-year-old chairman who appeared as the first client that day was a man who had been married for 40 years and had enormous wealth while running a trading company. After the client‘s introduction, Tak Jae-hoon made everyone laugh by making a joke that sounded serious, saying, “Please bring this case no matter what.
However, as the case progressed, Tak Jae-hoon showed difficulty and seemed troubled, unlike at first. This is because the chairman’s in-laws and second daughter-in-law were pointed out as the chairman‘s mistresses. Furthermore, when the fact that the daughter of the second son, who was thought to be the chairman’s granddaughter, was actually the chairman‘s daughter was revealed, the studio as well as the living room theaters were shocked.
Tak Jae-hoon was surprised by the unexpected incident, saying, “Didn’t you make that up after watching a soap opera?” Lee Ji-hye also honestly showed her unpleasant feelings, saying, “Think of her as our family,” which garnered sympathy from viewers. Tak Jae-hoon decided to take on the request of the chairman‘s wife, not the chairman who was his first client, due to the chairman’s actions that went against nature.
The second client to appear was the ‘Battered Husband’. They were a couple with a young age gap who met at a university coffee club, and the wife, who was wealthy, opened a coffee shop for the husband who kept failing to find a job. When Lee Ji-hye heard this, she said, “Your wife is wise,” and Tak Jae-hoon pointed out, “Is it wise to hit someone you like?”
Her violence, usually a good wife and mother, began when she was drinking. When drunk, she did not hesitate to verbally abuse her husband, including assaulting him for six weeks. After seeing the evidence presented by her husband, Tak Jae-hoon left a big impression on viewers by showing concern for his client, asking, “Is this person alive?”
On the other hand, the wife claimed that her husband had an affair. After seeing the shocking evidence presented by her, Tak Jae-hoon seemed to give up on taking on the case, saying, “Let‘s not take on this case.” However, attorney Lee In-cheol said, “There is no greater sin than assault. It is clear that the husband is the victim,” he said, delivering a stinging rebuke.
‘Roundtable Lawyers’ has provided interest to viewers with its unpredictable development that has added twists to twists. In addition, the honest yet human reactions of Tak Jae-hoon, Lee Ji-hye, and Shin Gyu-jin created perfect immersion. In addition, the three lawyers analyzed the case using their individual personalities and expertise and added fun by seriously yet cheerfully sharing their legal knowledge.
‘Roundtable Lawyers’ has provided deep immersion with shocking cases since the first episode. Expectations are rising as to what kind of cases the Roundtable Law Firm will take on each week and what kind of shocking twists await.
Meanwhile, ‘Roundtable Lawyers’, which has become a hot topic with unprecedented cases, airs every Monday at 8:40 p.m. on SBS Life and SBS Plus.
