Synopsis: Ma Lidun (Zheng Liyuan), who lost track of his mother at a young age, becomes a prosecutor in order to find his mother. Despite her bold investigative approach and prosecutorial prowess, she was snubbed because she was a woman from a local university and was prevented from joining the Special Crimes Panel. On one occasion, she witnessed sexual harassment by the Minister and received a deal from the Minister, but continued to testify as a witness, thus being relegated to the Female and Child Crimes Task Force. As a colleague of prosecutors, former psychiatrists such as Jin-wook (Yoon Hyun-min) like Ma Lidun's unflinching attitude, and Ma Lidun also likes the gentle RuJin-wook. In such a situation, the law firm representative Cao Jiasu (Tian Guanglie) wants to find Ma Lidun, who is the person who knows the truth about the disappearance of Ma Lidun's mother.
Episode evaluation: The screenwriter of the play was very bold in throwing out a very heavy case topic at the beginning of the plot, first of all, a female doctoral supervisor of a university sexually harassed male student reversal case, but this male student is still a homosexual, such a plot to the audience brought a huge impact, but unexpectedly from such a gender reversal design compared with similar cases, so that the audience feels through the plot, how painful and helpless the victims in such a case are in reality, And the fact that the case was repeatedly injured in the process of being tracked down and tried. The second case is directly aimed at the increasingly rampant sneak shooting and sexual video incidents in recent years with the development of various mobile Internet equipment and video shooting equipment. In fact, when similar things happened, the rapid dissemination on the Internet brought huge public pressure to the parties to the incident, and as a result, the screenwriter made the prosecutor in charge of the case, Ma Lidun, accidentally become one of the victims, but her firm public video in court to let the sneakers be brought to justice still made the audience feel excited.

Episode evaluation: "The Lawyer in Gold" continues the concept of "winning the trial before entering the courtroom" in the original American drama, and there are not many fierce court battles, which makes Korean audiences feel fresh and strange. The production team has appropriately adapted the original work according to the actual situation in South Korea, not only retaining the advantages of the rapid development of the original plot, but also carrying out flexible structural adjustment and using more detailed expression techniques. Although the play also has various events, it is different from the general legal drama and focuses more on depicting the internal power struggle of the law firm. The role of "Gao Yanyu" in the play will make people around him feel embarrassed from time to time, which makes some viewers feel dissatisfied. Jang Dong-jin and Park Kyung-sik's huamei male lawyer group is outstanding, kim young-ho, Chan Hee-joong and Choi Kwai-hwa and other actors show excellent acting skills and aura, and the stable performance of the actors improves the completion of the play.

Episode evaluation: "Miss Hammurabi" in the lawyers, prosecutors flying in the law of the Korean drama, the protagonist is replaced by the "judge" who has always been a supporting role in Korean dramas, and the storyline is also through the story between the hot-blooded rookie judge Park Cha Wulin, the capable and cold young judge Lin Baleng and the twenty-year-old and realistic judge Han Shishang to show a small story in the courtroom.
Seemingly incomparably bland story positioning, coupled with the lack of publicity before the production, not counting the popular schedule of the show in the premiere results but unexpectedly won nearly 4% of the ratings, and ushered in praise, a large part of the reason is due to the screenwriter Wen Youshuo's former profession is actually a real judge, his deep and in-place understanding of the special existence of the judge and the court, so that "Miss Hammurabi" can tell the audience the story related to the judge with a penetrating perspective. The sense of story close to the truth has become a "powerful weapon" to impress the audience.

Episode evaluation: Screenwriter Park Jae-bum uses his unique pen power to create scenes that will be hilarious even if they are full of tension, and the protagonist in crisis painfully punishes the evil forces that continue to appear, although it looks like a fantasy, but it brings the audience a sense of pleasure that cannot be compared with other works. The show is not completely overshadowed by the comedic atmosphere, and the tight storyline increases the audience's engagement. The exaggerated character setting gives people the feeling of reading a comic, but because of the fictional way, some extreme plots can be displayed without restriction. Kim Hee-won's directing ability is excellent, the composition and color contrast of the picture are also amazing, in addition, the use of classical music as the background music, well integrated into the feelings and atmosphere of the characters.
