Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Written by actual judge Moon Yoo-seok, making it one of few K-dramas with genuine legal procedural DNA rather than romanticized courtroom theatrics.
Go Ara and L's awkward elevator scenes were largely improvised after director Kwak Jung-hwan locked them in a real courthouse elevator for bonding. The terror is real.
