![]() His name is GO YEON-WOO (Park Hyung-shik), and he looks bored as he’s introduced as having a perfect memory. HA, love it.Įlsewhere, the young man we previously saw in jail parks a fancy sports car at an upscale club, where he’s escorted by the club manager into a private room. She asks how they were paid already, and he reveals that the transfer was really Congressman Jo’s donation to the scholarship. Kang-seok tells him to go close the deal while he still can, and once he’s gone, he tells Ha-yeon that it doesn’t matter how the client feels so long as they closed the deal. Stammering, President Park orders Ha-yeon to collar her dog, but she backs up Kang-seok completely. ![]() He invites him to sue Kang & Ham if he doesn’t like their results, but reminds him that no other firm would dare take a lawsuit that would pit them against him. Kang-seok pulls up the firm’s bank account on his phone and shows President Park that their fee has already been paid. Unmoved, President Park threatens to take his business to another law firm. He says that the Taejin employees only want to show respect to their CEO, but if President Park won’t give them that, then he’s not a good hunter. He points out that President Park calls this merger a hunt, but good hunters show respect to the animals they kill. Interrupting, Kang-seok calmly tells President Park that he’s being greedy. ![]() He even shoots an insult to Ha-yeon, guessing that she can’t handle the company alone without Lawyer Ham. President Park just wonders why he’s only showing up now if he’s such an ace. Kang-seok finally shows up, and he saunters into the office where Ha-yeon introduces him as Kang & Ham’s ace lawyer. But he refuses to back down, determined to win a complete victory over his nemesis. She appeals to his pride, reminding him that he’s already hunted down his prey, and it won’t hurt anything to allow CEO Oh to be a temporary figurehead. She says that it will contribute to the Taejin employees’ morale as well as make President Park look good. Ha-yeon tries to talk President Park of Joseung Group, which is acquiring Taejin Enterprise, into allowing CEO Oh from Taejin to retain his title for a year after the merger. ![]() Assemblyman Jo says without malice that that was a petty trick, and Kang-seok quips that he can’t be the boss of the game without knowing a few tricks. He says he likes the Joker because it doesn’t have a significant role, but it can change into anything. Kang-seok chooses a card, turning over the Joker and winning the bet. Congressman Jo says that instead, if he loses, he’ll set up a scholarship under Kang & Ham’s name. He asks Congressman Jo to become a client of Kang & Ham (the top corporate firm he works for) if he wins. Happy with his card, Congressman Jo chuckles that Kang-seok won’t win tonight, but Kang-seok points out that he hasn’t chosen his card yet. The man, Congressman Jo, chooses a stack, and Kang-seok turns over an ace of spades. He’d answered that he didn’t want to be a card held in someone’s hand - he wanted to be the person playing the game with those cards.Īs he talks, he deals the cards into four equal stacks. He wants this case, but Ha-yeon insists - she wants Kang-seok on it.ĬHOI KANG-SEOK ( Jang Dong-gun) shows off his shuffling skills as he tells a man that his father once laid out a deck of cards and asked him which card he wanted to be. She asks about someone named Kang-seok, which makes Geun-shik lose a bit of his bravado. He says his prediction came true… the merger between two companies will never happen, because the two men who run the companies are old schoolmates who are more concerned with their pride than what’s best for the businesses. We hear the young man’s voice narrate: “Fate is determined by the choices you make, not coincidence.” Suddenly, time begins flowing backwards, pulling the raindrops slowly back into the sky.Īfter grinning at a room full of arguing people, a man, lawyer CHAE GEUN-SHIK ( Choi Gwi-hwa) struts into an office to gloat to his boss, lawyer KANG HA-YEON ( Jin Hee-kyung). On a dreary, rainy day, a lawyer visits a young man in prison. The premiere episode is mostly an introduction to the characters and the law firm where they work, and I was drawn to the bright, simple introduction, which gave me just enough to hook me in without weighing me down with too much information.ĮPISODE 1: “Fate is determined by the choices you make, not coincidence.” I was halfway expecting a show about lawyers to be somewhat slow-moving and serious, but KBS2’s new drama Suits (a remake of the American TV show of the same name) looks to be a fast and furious ride, full of witty dialogue, intriguing characters, and unexpected plot twists.
