Foreword
Byun Baekhyun - 'The Good Husband'
Marrying young to a well-respected and well-off man, everyone thought that marriage would be the least of his troubles. Though he graduated as a top law graduate he gave up on entering the field when he was married. Now that the entire country is gossiping about his family's misfortune and his husband is in prison, he has no choice but to return to the workforce. Though it's not exactly welcoming, he still has his dignity and his son even if he's lost everything else.
Oh Sehun - 'The Innocent'
Having been taken in by a socialite couple at a young age, Sehun lived quite the lavish life. However, his upbringing lead to him being sheltered and often kept away from the outside world. As the only son of a prominent figure in law and politics and his adored husband, Sehun had always been in the spotlight as well. Now that his family name is being dragged in the mud after his father's actions, he finds himself stuck in the middle of a battle much graver than he is able to comprehend.
Park Chanyeol - 'The Helper'
Baekhyun's university friend and also the son of an elite family, Park Chanyeol was no step behind the rest of the field in his achievements. His older sister and him already ran a law firm together at an extremely young age, although the chain of firms in their family name did help him out. When he hears that Baekhyun is looking for work he offers him a position as new lawyer in a chance to start over again. Though he only wants the best for him, Baekhyun's inexperience and naivete in the law world is not helping him out.
Kim Jongdae - 'The Examiner'
Although he, unlike the others, was not born into a top ten percent family, he more than makes up for it. As the official case examiner, he works very closely with Baekhyun in his new job. He has a knack for investigating - though his methods aren't always legal. However unorthodox they are, he has a strong sense of justice and unwavering kindness. At the bottom of it all he has a good heart and a mysterious past.
Lee Youngwoon - 'The Shark'
Being born into wealth and power, it is no secret the name Lee Youngwoon was well known - for various reasons. Originally a prosecutor, over his years of work he made many enemies and many alliances. Everyone was surprised when he married young, though the family was adored by the public. Now that his dirtiness behind the scenes has been revealed, he is appealing to the court. A cunning man, there is no one in the country that doesn't know his name; if they didn't know it before, they most certainly know it now with the scandal.
