I’ve been super curious to read this novel before watch the drama adaptation. And they hype is real, as I devoured the first volume within 1 day!
Lee Chae-ha (bottom) though he is super timid and become outcast as soon as they know who is his father, he has been very dilligent and resilient to pursue his career in law field. He is good looking, but never think of himself in that sense.
He has proved himself to Ju Tae-seon with his hardwork by that one case that bring them together. Though, Ju might not like him due to Chae-ha’s family history.
The first volume has not really opened up their relationship to anywhere, but at least, Chae-ha has somehow earn the trust from Ju about his work as the new investigator in Ju’s team.

I really enjoyed this actually. I felt the actual plot flowed well, and although it was quite cliche, it kept me entertained for 1100 pages. So that should tell you everything you need to know. (I read all the volumes at once so this review does not only correlate to this book, but to all volumes in the series)
