‘The Lawyers at the Round Table’ has shocked viewers by revealing complex divorce cases that go beyond imagination.

In the 4th episode of ‘The Lawyers at the Round Table’ that aired on Monday the 3rd, the story of ‘The Dead Never Speak’ and the case of ‘I Don‘t Want to Be Lost’ that made even Shin Gyu-jin, who had been thinking about getting married after seeing shocking stories in each episode, reconsider were revealed.

The first client to appear that day was a 43-year-old wife with a 15-year-old child in her 20th year of marriage who found out about her husband’s affair after his sudden death. The wife, who had been living as a weekend couple, found out about her husband‘s mistress while investigating the circumstances of his accident. She tried to bury it for the sake of her child, but after seeing a picture of her daughter among the traces of his affair in her husband’s cell phone photo album, she couldn‘t stand it anymore and filed a lawsuit for compensation for damages against the mistress. Lee Ji-hye, who heard this, showed empathy for her client, saying, “How would you feel holding your husband’s funeral knowing that you were talking to the mistress right before the accident?”

After hearing the news of the lawsuit, the mistress countersued for defamation, claiming that her personal information was exposed in a story the client posted on an online community and that she suffered damages. Furthermore, the mistress claimed that she did not know he was married, which drew everyone‘s outrage. The shocking twist was that the mistress demanded a division of property, claiming that she was pregnant with her husband’s child. Tak Jae-hoon left a deep impression on viewers by saying, “I wonder if the husband is seeing this situation too,” and “I hope he sincerely apologizes to his wife and daughter there and reflects on his actions even after death.”



The second client was a 35-year-old housewife with 1-year-old twins in her second year of marriage. Before marriage, the couple decided to have a fair family through a “half-and-half marriage,” but after marriage, the husband’s excessive obsession with “half-and-half” caused conflict. The husband insisted on “half-and-half” for living expenses, gifts from both families, and even childcare. In particular, even though his wife had no income while on childcare leave, he demanded half of her living expenses, and he also found fault with the daily necessities she used from her communal living expenses.

Furthermore, when the husband found out that his wife had used money from her communal living expenses to pay for her father‘s hospital bills, he pressured her to repay the money. Eventually, the wife took out a loan without telling her husband, and struggled with side jobs and part-time jobs, but ended up receiving a demand letter. The husband could not contain his anger at his wife and demanded a divorce. After hearing the story, Lee Ji-hye said, “If this is how it is, it would have been better not to get married,” and could not hide her anger, saying, “We should get a divorce. I want to make you get a divorce. This is real.”

The ’Lawyers of the Round Table‘ analyzed the case from various angles in a serious yet cheerful discussion, and the three MCs showed empathy for their clients from a third-party perspective, providing viewers with a sense of immersion. In particular, both cases shocked viewers with unbelievable twists and conflicts.

‘Lawyers of the Round Table’ continues with tense cases and sharp analyses by lawyers in each episode. It has further increased anticipation for what unexpected twists and incidents will unfold in the future.
