Theories About EAW

your thoughts about the show’s possible plot twists ^^

omg yeah I’m now also skeptical of the hanbada ceo…I hope she doesn’t turn out to be bad or something it would probably hurt WYW a lot ?

I think Junho has/had a family member that has some type of disorder or illness. From the comment of his old acquaintance, he volunteered a lot with disabled people and seemed to take an immediate soft spot for her.  I have a feeling it's going to be revealed later and cause issues because wyw will think he took pity on her or something. 

I think wyw father, hadaba ceo, and the rival law firm taesan (idk on the spelling) all know each other. I think we are going to see the other ceo more in the future, they wouldn't have introduced her via that interview and mentioning wyw for no reason. 

This is an absolutely crazy theory but there's nuance here. Lawyers and attorneys are not the same thing. Attorneys represent clients while lawyers practice law and give legal advice/aid. Junho is a part of the litigation team, most likely a litigation lawyer. Now my wild theory:

I wonder if Junho is the taesan ceo's son. The interview made an interesting comment in episode 2 saying she had a son but "it seems like he hasn't figured out his dream yet, he just spends all day in front of a computer".  This show wouldn't have showed her saying that for no reason. And you have to kind of think that a hot shot CEO and attorney would definitely look down on a son who just wants to do "grunt work" (a lot of which is behind a computer) on the litigation team. 

It's wild but I don't know it's my main theory of the moment.

Good theories but one thing I don’t think is right - theories where rival CEO is mother to both FL and ML. More likely it’s one or the other, or none at all. Otherwise this show would be baiting us with incest, because FL’s and ML’s relationship is clearly turning into a romantic one.  I very much doubt this respectful and lighthearted show would delve into this topic.

She's definitely not mother to both haha. Those are just opposing theories.

Because the hadaba ceo said wyw looked just like her mom, I think that rules her (rival ceo) out as her mom. I'm not seeing a resemblance, or not a close one like she claimed. I think wyw's mom either passed away or completely left town. The taesan ceo would def know the new rookie attorney is her daughter, if you are smart enough to be a ceo of that big of a firm you would def keep tabs on your cast away children. 

Could very well be mother to neither though. Junho to me doesn't really come off like a rich kid but idk to some people he does. It's hard to tell yet.

"Lawyers and attorneys are not the same thing. Attorneys represent clients while lawyers practice law and give legal advice/aid"

Is this a Korean distinction? Cause in English these terms are absolutely synonymous. For example in the US if you're admitted to practice law you have to register in the "Roll of Attorneys", regardless of the type of law you practice.

In the US there is a distinction between lawyer and attorney. If you haven't taken and passed the bar exam you are not an attorney. Lawyers are simple people who graduated law school but to be an attorney you must pass the bar exams and passing the bar exam gives you different opportunities. Here's a simple breakdown:

What they can do IS different. Most people just don't realize it.

Definitely digressing from the topic at hand, but I'm flabbergasted at this line in the "What is a lawyer?" section: "They can provide legal advice to others, but they cannot represent clients in court because they have not passed the bar exam." If you haven't passed the bar exam, or have been licensed in some alternative fashion, and you give legal advice to others, this is unauthorized practice of law.

I've been a criminal defense attorney for the last two years, been studying law for most of my adult life. I'm well acquainted with the rules governing practice of law, and I have no idea why someone didn't do basic research before posting that.

I agreed, the hadaba ceo likes woo young woo's father but looks like she has some hidden agenda, I kind of got intrigued by that other Ceo for the rival law firm, they also mentioned that her father's used to be a lawyer or at least did study for it in the past so I'm guessing the three knew each other in the pass (and maybe the other ceo is woo young woo's mother)

i think hanbada ceo and woo young woo's dad are gonna end up with each other, but i dont think the rival law firm's ceo is young woo's mom cause in the first episode, her dad was called a widower. but they def have some kind of history

 The story revolved around Woo Young Woo and it was so easy to like her. The director and writer made the drama easy to understand her world, although it could be more complex than what is shown. Jung Myeong Sook also had the greatest character development so far. So I want to know more about Lee Joon Ho. Like, he might be the only person who treated WYW right, and I wanna know why and how? I want to know more about him, really. Not only because he is our male lead, but because of him as a character.

I am not sure yet how I feel about the CEO being a suspicious character :D
