Suits: Episode 1
by LollyPip
I was halfway expecting a bear witness about lawyers to exist somewhat ho-hum-moving and serious, but KBS2's new drama Suits (a remake of the American Boob tube show of the same proper noun) looks to be a fast and furious ride, total of witty dialogue, intriguing characters, and unexpected plot twists. The premiere episode is mostly an introduction to the characters and the law house where they work, and I was drawn to the bright, simple introduction, which gave me just plenty to hook me in without weighing me down with too much information.
EPISODE 1: "Fate is adamant by the choices you make, not coincidence."
On a dreary, rainy day, a lawyer visits a beau in prison. We hear the beau'southward voice characterize: "Fate is adamant by the choices you make, not coincidence." Suddenly, time begins flowing backwards, pulling the raindrops slowly back into the sky.
After smiling at a room full of arguing people, a homo, lawyer CHAE GEUN-SHIK (Choi Gwi-hwa) struts into an office to gloat to his boss, lawyer KANG HA-YEON (Jin Hee-kyung). He says his prediction came true… the merger between 2 companies will never happen, considering the two men who run the companies are old schoolmates who are more concerned with their pride than what'due south best for the businesses.
She asks about someone named Kang-seok, which makes Geun-shik lose a bit of his bravado. He wants this case, but Ha-yeon insists — she wants Kang-seok on information technology.
CHOI KANG-SEOK (Jang Dong-gun) shows off his shuffling skills equally he tells a homo that his father one time laid out a deck of cards and asked him which card he wanted to be. 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.
As he talks, he deals the cards into four equal stacks. The man, Congressman Jo, chooses a stack, and Kang-seok turns over an ace of spades. Happy with his card, Congressman Jo chuckles that Kang-seok won't win this evening, but Kang-seok points out that he hasn't chosen his card withal.
He asks Congressman Jo to become a customer of Kang & Ham (the pinnacle corporate firm he works for) if he wins. Congressman Jo says that instead, if he loses, he'll set up upwards a scholarship under Kang & Ham'south proper noun.
Kang-seok chooses a menu, turning over the Joker and winning the bet. He says he likes the Joker considering it doesn't have a pregnant office, simply information technology can modify into anything. Assemblyman Jo says without malice that that was a niggling trick, and Kang-seok quips that he can't be the boss of the game without knowing a few tricks.
Ha-yeon tries to talk President Park of Joseung Grouping, which is acquiring Taejin Enterprise, into allowing CEO Oh from Taejin to retain his championship for a year after the merger. She says that it will contribute to the Taejin employees' morale also as make President Park look good.
She appeals to his pride, reminding him that he'due south already hunted downwards his prey, and it won't hurt annihilation to allow CEO Oh to exist a temporary figurehead. But he refuses to dorsum down, adamant to win a complete victory over his nemesis.
Kang-seok finally shows up, and he saunters into the office where Ha-yeon introduces him as Kang & Ham'due south ace lawyer. President Park just wonders why he's just showing up at present if he'southward such an ace. He even shoots an insult to Ha-yeon, guessing that she tin can't handle the company lonely without Lawyer Ham.
Interrupting, Kang-seok calmly tells President Park that he's being greedy. He points out that President Park calls this merger a hunt, but skilful hunters bear witness respect to the animals they kill. He says that the Taejin employees merely desire to show respect to their CEO, but if President Park won't give them that, then he'southward not a skilful hunter.
Unmoved, President Park threatens to take his business organisation to another law firm. Kang-seok pulls upward the firm's banking concern account on his phone and shows President Park that their fee has already been paid. He invites him to sue Kang & Ham if he doesn't similar their results, just reminds him that no other house would dare take a lawsuit that would pit them against him.
Stammering, President Park orders Ha-yeon to neckband her canis familiaris, simply she backs up Kang-seok completely. Kang-seok tells him to become close the deal while he still tin can, and once he's gone, he tells Ha-yeon that it doesn't matter how the customer feels and then long as they closed the deal.
She asks how they were paid already, and he reveals that the transfer was really Congressman Jo'southward donation to the scholarship. HA, beloved it.
Elsewhere, the swain nosotros previously saw in jail parks a fancy sports car at an upscale order, where he's escorted by the club manager into a private room. His name is GO YEON-WOO (Park Hyung-shik), and he looks bored as he'south introduced every bit having a perfect memory.
The smarmy chaebol, whose name is JOON-PYO (cameo by Lee Yi-kyung), asks if Yeon-woo remembers him. Yeon-woo rattles off Joon-pyo's last three license plate numbers, impressing the guy.
He throws downward a wad of greenbacks and tells Yeon-woo that he gets money for every correct respond, and has to have a shot every time he's wrong. He finds obscure questions on the internet (similar explaining the Inflation Theory), and Yeon-woo recites the answers word-for-word without even thinking.
Joon-pyo finally concedes, admitting respect for Yeon-woo's sexy brain. Yeon-woo notices that he adds a few drops of liquid to his drink earlier downing it, and he turns to leave, snapping angrily at his friend for bringing him hither.
Offended, Joon-pyo offers Yeon-woo one last bet — double the amount of money he's already won if he drinks an ice bucket full of wine in 1 sitting. Despite his disdain for this unabridged thing, Yeon-woo tin't resist the bait, but when Joon-pyo offers him a vial of the drug he put into his ain drink, Yeon-woo crushes it into the wine, saying that he may be a dog just at least he doesn't need drugs.
Joon-pyo gets angry again at the suggestion that he and Yeon-woo are on the same level. Yeon-woo flings the saucepan of wine at him, growling, "A dog doesn't bite its owner, but it does bite other dogs. Especially when that dog cares near zippo but money. " He storms out of the room, tossing the money he already won in the air as he goes.
The club manager, Yeon-woo'southward friend CHUL-SOON, is contrite when he finds him later. He apologizes for trapping him in an uncomfortable state of affairs, though he besides chides Yeon-woo for his rude beliefs. He says information technology'south worth the humiliation to earn so much coin, but Yeon-woo disagrees.
They're joined by Chul-soon's girlfriend, SE-HEE, who seems a lot more than level-headed than her fellow. When he scuttles off to accept a call, she asks Yeon-woo what happened to upset him, and she knows he's lying when he says it'due south nothing.
Chul-presently's phone call is from Joon-pyo, who asks if he tin become him a certain difficult-to-procure drug. Chul-soon promises to get it for him, but the chaebol has a status — he wants Yeon-woo to deliver it.
When he learns most Joon-pyo's need, Yeon-woo is upset, but Chul-soon reminds him that he needs the money. He says that Joon-pyo is actually a pretty nice guy, but Yeon-woo flat-out refuses to exercise the commitment.
Over at Kang & Ham, Geun-shik recites terrible poetry into his phone as he stares at Ha-yeon. He tells himself to be brave and enters her office, where he announces dramatically that he sleeps even less at present than when he was studying for the bar, and works over a hundred hours per week.
He says he could have handled President Park himself, and he asks Ha-yeon why she always chooses Kang-seok over him. Kang-seok enters the part right on cue and quips that it'south because he works reasonable hours and ever gets a good night'due south slumber, lol.
Ha-yeon interrupts their argument and reminds Kang-seok that they're interviewing constabulary students tomorrow for potential hire as a new associate. Kang-seok doesn't want to be there, whining that they exclusively interview students from elite schools as if they're the just ones who volition brand good lawyers, and he decides he doesn't want an associate, anyway.
Ha-yeon says they can't have a senior partner without an associate, and Geun-shik stammers to hear that Kang-seok has been promoted. Kang-seok tin't help only smile, silently daring Geun-shik to say a word. Ha-yeon tells Kang-seok to choose his own acquaintance, and he jokes that it won't be easy to find someone who matches his talent.
With obvious affection, Ha-yeon gives Kang-seok a tie to wearable tomorrow for luck. She tells him to cull his new associate wisely, considering "as soon as a senior partner makes a mistake, he'due south out."
The nameplate on Kang-seok'southward function door has already been changed to reflect his new status, though he notes that he got the promotion 6 months later on than he expected. His jealous secretary, HONG DA-HAM (Chae Jung-ahn), complains that she has no luck with men or money, and Kang-seok jokingly accuses her of praying for him non to become his promotion. Hilariously, Da-ham can't meet his eyes, HA.
They get-go throwing out numbers, simply Da-ham won't become lower than eighteen. Kang-seok reluctantly offers her an eighteen percentage bonus increase and contract renewal, holding out a paw for her to "sign" on his palm. Okay, I beloved them together.
Yeon-woo goes to the hospital to visit his grandmother, who's evidently been there a while. She may be sick, but she's all the same feisty, and she warns him not to dirty himself by hanging out with Chul-shortly. Yeon-woo offers to pay her hospital bill, which just makes his grandmother laugh and accuse him of lying, knowing that he has no money.
A nurse tells Yeon-woo that his grandmother has to move out by the end of the month, due to her unpaid bill. She fusses at him to apologize to his grandmother for squandering the opportunities that his youth affords him. He sighs wearily, "I may be immature, only in that location aren't that many opportunities."
He goes back to see Chul-soon and tells him that he'll make the delivery to the chaebol Joon-pyo. Chul-soon is excited virtually the amount of money he'll make, but Yeon-woo just looks defeated.
At the terminate of the work mean solar day Da-ham reminds Kang-seok about the acquaintance interviews tomorrow. She calls him "Senior Partner Choi," which he makes her repeat just to savor the sound of information technology, heh. Geun-shik feeds the goldfish who lives in a bowl on his desk and promises it that he'll go similar Kang-seok, working reasonable hours and getting plenty of sleep.
In the morning, Se-hee helps Yeon-woo into a suit borrowed from Chul-before long, thinking that his delivery errand is an interview. Yeon-woo starts to correct her, but he chickens out (and he'southward very nervous around her, which makes me call back he has feelings for her). She gives him a briefcase, and he takes a deep, nervous jiff.
Meanwhile Kang-seok arrives at work to find the function halls filled with hopeful applicants. He plops a pocket-sized statue on Da-ham's desk-bound and tells her to screen the candidates with it, proverb that he wants someone like him, but as well different.
Yeon-woo's delivery happens to be in the same hotel where Kang & Ham offices are located. He makes his way up to the room where he'southward to deliver the briefcase, but when he gets in that location, a couple of hotel employees are standing awkwardly in the open doorway.
With a few quick glances, Yeon-woo makes mental notes of the employees' names and faces. He recalls seeing those names on an Employees of the Month sign, but the faces were dissimilar. Sure that these two aren't really employees, he keeps walking and takes the stairwell.
His telephone rings with a telephone call from Joon-pyo, who crows that he set this up to teach Yeon-woo a lesson about messing with someone with money. A few flights upwardly, the undercover cops dressed as hotel employees call out to Yeon-woo, and he hangs up the phone and flies downwardly the stairs.
At the police force function, Da-ham asks each candidate to name the subject field of the statue, and she signals to Kang-seok when each of them gets it wrong. At 1 betoken she calls a candidate's name over and over, getting no answer. All of a sudden Yeon-woo rushes in, out of breath and looking frantic, and Da-ham assumes he's her candidate who was just running tardily.
Yeon-woo goes along with it, and he correctly identifies the statue on her desk as Kairos, Greek god of opportunity. Impressed, Da-ham signals to Kang-seok and sends Yeon-woo in, where Kang-seok asks Yeon-woo to explain how he knew who the statue is. Yeon-woo says that information technology looks like Dike (Lady Justice), but the hair gave it away — Kairos has a lot of hair on the front of his head to allow people to seize opportunity, but none in back to warn that you can't seize an opportunity in one case information technology's passed.
Kang-seok's keen eyes don't miss Yeon-woo's broken scout face and the popped latch on his briefcase. He invites him to have a seat, and as Yeon-woo moves towards the sofa, the briefcase falls open up, spilling out the bags of drugs. He aimlessly shoves them back in, but Kang-seok snatches one and eyeballs information technology suspiciously.
While the narcotics detectives ask Da-ham if she'due south seen a young homo in a suit carrying a briefcase (which describes every single candidate in the role, ha), Yeon-woo confesses to Kang-seok that he's never fifty-fifty been to college. He tells him how he was ready upward, only Kang-seok is skeptical that someone smart enough to know the departure between Dike and Kairos would fall for such an obvious trap.
He starts to reference the Narcotics Control Human activity, but after but two words, Yeon-woo takes over and recites the entire thing perfectly. He says that he never forgets anything he reads or sees, and that in one case he was determined to become a lawyer, so he memorized the entire law manual. Wow.
Da-ham interrupts to tell Kang-seok that the detectives want to speak with him. He goes to the door and invites them in after checking their ID. They ostend that Yeon-woo matches the description of a drug dealer from a written report they received, and Kang-seok tells Yeon-woo, "Well, get started. Aren't you hither to be a lawyer? Defend your client — yourself."
After just a moment'southward pause, Yeon-woo says that although they got a report, it's illegal to arrest someone without evidence. He clocks Kang-seok'south eyeroll and changes tacks, saying that a report could be a deliberate imitation accusation, which is a crime in itself. This fourth dimension Kang-seok nods with satisfaction.
When the cops threaten to take Yeon-woo to the constabulary station to confirm his identity, Kang-seok asks Yeon-woo if he has anything else to say. Yeon-woo flips through the files of information in his head, and in seconds he says that according to the police force, the officers can ask him to accompany them to the station — but but he can decline.
Further, he recites that the police are required to inform a doubtable that they can reject. The detectives threatened to take him to the police station, but they never informed him of his right to refuse, and so they've violated due procedure.
As the detectives gape, Kang-seok says, "Skilful. Pass," and he asks the detectives if they have any more questions for Kang & Ham's newest lawyer. Unfortunately, they ask to check his briefcase. Yeon-woo glances at Kang-seok, who just looks at him like, "Well?" Yeon-woo goes to the briefcase and slowly opens it to reveal… law books.
A quick flashback shows usa that when Kang-seok met the detectives at his office door, he deliberately blocked their view into the room, giving Yeon-woo enough time to stuff the numberless of drugs under the sofa and grab some of his law books to stash in the briefcase. Once the detectives are gone, he asks Yeon-woo how he knew they would cheque his briefcase.
Yeon-woo says that evidence is crucial in cases like this, plus, when Kang-seok was talking to the detectives at the door, he specifically mentioned that they thought his suitcase was filled with drugs (ha, I thought that sounded unnecessarily expositional!). Kang-seok huffs at getting defenseless helping.
He tells Yeon-woo to get to law school and have the bar examination if he wants to be a lawyer, but Yeon-woo admits that he's already taken the bar under someone else's proper noun. Chul-shortly had bundled it, arguing that Yeon-woo will never be able to afford police school, and so he could at least practice this. Yeon-woo tells Kang-seok that his parents died in a boozer hitting-and-run, and that he needed the money.
Kang-seok admits that Yeon-woo did a smashing job defending himself, but he sighs that Kang & Ham only hires elites. He asks Yeon-woo how he did on the bar exam, and Yeon-woo confesses that he felt weird about getting a perfect score, so he purposely got one question wrong.
Intrigued, Kang-seok asks if Yeon-woo feels similar it was money or coincidence that decided his fate, only Yeon-woo says that actually, it was his own wrong choices. Kang-seok asks if he could brand up for those mistakes if he gave him the take chances, and Yeon-woo replies that he'd like to redeem himself.
Kang-seok is curious if he plans to use his prodigious retentiveness to practise that, but Yeon-woo says that in fact, information technology'southward desperation caused past the harsh effect of a fault: "I'm more than desperate than anyone to make up for the mistakes I made."
This time, Kang-seok'south "Pass" is sincere. He says that while Yeon-woo can memorize police books, his skill is reading people. He tells Yeon-woo that this is his risk to be a lawyer and redeem himself, and he gives him a Joker card, saying, "This card… is yous. Depending on your choices and effort, your card can turn into an ace, or some meaningless number. Get rid of that briefcase first. You'll start from there."
Yeon-woo hurries to the restroom to affluent what must be a fortune in drugs down the toilet. As he walks home, he stops on a span and pulls out the Joker. We see someone fan a deck of cards out in forepart of a immature boy, asking him which he would choose if he could only pick one to win. The male child chooses the Joker, explaining that it's nothing now, but later, it tin can become anything.
Yeon-woo stashes the briefcase in a subway locker, and then goes home and immediately starts studying. He stays upward all nighttime, and in the morning he dresses in the suit again. He pauses to wait at the Joker once more before he leaves, remembering his grandmother'south wise words: "When a human being leaves his habitation to keep a journey, he takes a pair of shoes and at least one prevarication."
He rides his bike to the subway station, and when he exits the underground passage, he finds that it'southward begun to rain. He stops to lookout the sudden tempest next to a woman who besides pauses for the unexpected weather, though they don't notice each other.
We hear the aforementioned voiceover from earlier, saying that Fate is decided by the choices you lot make, non past coincidence. Yeon-woo steps out into the downpour and mounts his wheel, spraying the woman with muddy water as he rides abroad. She shrieks indignantly, only Yeon-woo doesn't hear her.
He goes dorsum to the Kang & Ham building and nervously fidgets as he waits in Ha-yeon's office. He's confused when Kang-seok finally enters the room and orders him to leave. Yeon-woo asks where he'southward supposed to go, and Kang-seok tells him, "Go home. You're fired."
COMMENTS
I'll be honest — that was a lot more fun than I expected! I've never seen the American version of Suits, but I actually prefer not to be familiar with the original source cloth when recapping
a drama. Freedom from expectations fix by some other prove allows me to evaluate this prove based on its ain merit, without constantly comparing the two. So in these recaps, I may make predictions and inquire questions whose answers are obvious to those who have seen the original serial, just allow's endeavor not to give away whatever spoilers. I'd similar to keep the discussions to what's happened in this version, and non ruin things for those of us who are seeing all this for the first time!
I suppose I was expecting something more dry and straight-laced from this show, and to be off-white, lawyer shows aren't really a genre that usually interests me much simply because they are so oftentimes dry and directly-laced. And then I was very pleasantly surprised that Suits turns out to exist bright and fun, with quirky characters and twisty-turny scenes that kept my attending only for the fact that I never knew what the characters were going to say or do. Fifty-fifty the side characters like jealous lawyer Geun-shik and Yeon-woo's smarmy friend Chul-soon seem fully-realized and important, and I have no dubiousness they'll both be back to crusade problems for Kang-seok and Yeon-woo subsequently.
For me, the main draw of Suits is definitely Park Hyung-shik. He'southward been making me sit up and pay attention he played Lee Jin-wook's younger counterpart in Nine, way back when I first started watching dramas. I have ever idea he has the potential to play actually circuitous roles — he merely seems capable of handling anything a grapheme can throw at him, from comedy to drama (non to mention, he ain't half bad to wait at). He reliably chooses roles that fit him well, but I've always thought he could practice more than, and I believe that this bear witness could be the ane that really showcases his true talent.
And I like what he's doing with the office of Yeon-woo so far. We know that Park Hyung-shik tin emote like crazy, but I enjoyed seeing him as this very subdued character, at to the lowest degree at the beginning. I like how he played Yeon-woo every bit very understated and nuanced, and y'all could really experience how Yeon-woo's genius has shaped his personality. He seems potent and stand-offish, not considering information technology's how he is naturally, merely probably equally a defense mechanism from having been treated like a freak past people his whole life due to his perfect memory. I can't look to see how he changes now that he's establish someone who finds his ability an asset, something of value to exist used to assistance himself and others instead of something to be exploited like a circus trick, and I'grand confident that the character is in excellent hands.
Veteran lawyer Kang-seok is particularly unpredictable, and I honey how Jang Dong-gun (Oh, I've missed him so much since A Gentleman's Dignity!) played him entirely straight-faced, but with an undeniable cheekiness underneath the super-serious-lawyer facade. And Yeon-woo's reactions to Kang-seok are understated but entertaining — he's not certain what to think about this lawyer who seems and so serious, but non only doesn't turn him in to the cops, but invites him to defend himself and hires him despite his lack of a law degree. The fact that Kang-seok knows that Yeon-woo isn't really a lawyer was the biggest surprise for me (I went in really bullheaded), but I'thou looking forward to the dynamic that will form every bit he simultaneously protects Yeon-woo from discovery, and teaches him how to be a good lawyer.
