The Law Cafe Episode 7 Musings
Children who are confident to commit crimes while young speak a lot about how their conscience works and their guardian’s role in correcting their behavior.
Disappointing it may be, parents who use their power to shield the wrongs of their children worsen the crippling situation their child created.
Though it may be done during their youth, like what Jung-ho said to Ji-hoon, it will surely leave a mark on their records to the point they can remember it even during their happiest moments in life.
Resolving such cases by the book is the most agreeable way despite the unfair happenings. Using unfair methods is no different from the wrongs that have been done to you.
President Lee makes sure to get back at Yu-ri even in the background. Although attacking covertly, Jung-ho is also beginning to get back actively on the legal scene.
