Just curious...I mean why would the lady lawyer who has her own firm agree to handle his case that too as pro…
That's what they do most of the time in real life. It is not about winning, it's about recruiting.
Her objective here was to end the drama dominating the news as well as to recruit the prosecutor. It is the golden time for her to convince the prosecutor to move to her firm.
As for the deal, it won't be a bad record for her because the real issue is the defendant not admitting to the crime. It will actually be a very good record for her because she convinced the defendant to admit to the crime.
It doesn't matter if the defendant is guilty or not. As far as everyone is concerned, you need to admit to the crime if all evidences points that way. If you insist you did not do it, you are making the [Holy] court, and all these Law "experts" a complete fool. You're practically telling everyone that they got it all wrong, they're dumb, and stupid. They hate that.
1. He's 25 years old and still in college -- is this normal in South Korea? Yet according to https://www.ifez.go.kr/global/gb231…
Yep. Even the way he acts would fit at that age.
Also, I just realized, if he already did 2 years military service … then he should've matured in thinking already. I seriously doubt Korean military training produces mushy and softie men. Unless the writer is also trying to insert some cultural issue, like say, some who went through the 2 years service came out with mental issues, if so then it would make sense why the character is like that.
Barring all that, the only explanation left is he's pschologically unstable even before and it's only now it's becoming obvious. I wonder if they'll go that route.

I understand, it's just that, when they dropped he's 25 years old, it threw me off. I mean, as far as being 25 … unless one has a psychological or mental problems … one should be fully capable of thinking and analyzing the situation they're in.
But good point, panic attack and sudden turn of his life for the worst. Possibly pushed him to his limits and completely lost it.

Ooh, yeah, that makes sense in their adaptation since there's discrimination against Muslims and being of colour, one would grow up learning to keep quiet and to observe.
I'll put it in my list after this Korean adaptation.
This Korean adaptation is weird, as far as Episode 3 is concerned. Can anyone explain or give inputs? (See inside…)
1. He's 25 years old and still in college -- is this normal in South Korea? Yet according to https://www.ifez.go.kr/global/gb231 25 years old is usually PhD level. At most, he should've been 22, a senior college student.
2. He's 25 years old and he still acts stupid. He doesn't have any mental and/or psychological disability. His only illness is asthma, yet he thinks like a 13 to 15-year old teenager.
* How many times should someone explain to him to keep his mouth shut? * When will it get into his brain that prison life is different? * Why does he always panic like a young teenager? * Why can't he understand the fact that he needs to keep a low profile and show good conduct if he ever want to get out of there? The prosecutor, and the police chief, can use his attempt to escape as proof he's guilty and will run and hide.
A 25-year old would already understand these things after days, and possibly weeks, have passed. It's understandable if it was the first week or two after getting jailed, still in shock and all. But in episode 3, it's clear at least two weeks passed since he first caught, and possibly a week passed since he entered corrections.
3. Anyone who have seen the original BBC "Criminal Justice"? How's the character there? Similar as the Korean adaptation, 25-year old acting like a 13-year old?
Apologies, just trying to make sense why the character's age doesn't match how he's acting and thinking.

Here in PH, our law for show ratings doesn't cover non-PH based streaming sites … yet. I guess that's why there are two versions there hehe.
In the Tagalog version though, some were blurred, while they're not obligated I guess they're just playing it safe.
Interesting differences! ^_^
