An Ju Hyeong, a senior associate lawyer with nine years of experience, may come off as emotionally detached, yet his expertise in the legal arena is unquestionable.

Recently, the previously calm atmosphere of his office has started to show signs of strain. In contrast, Kang Hui Ji, a junior associate at Johwa Law Firm, is very much a people person, often surrounded by colleagues.
