Lawless Lawyer Live Recap Episode 8

The mother is back! Unfortunately, the daughter does not recognize her. I bet Sang-pil will recognize her though considering he remembers every single person from that night. We also have a new righteous prosecutor in town who is building his team of do-gooders. I love this mostly because the new prosecutor is the oldest son in My Ajusshi and I will love the My Ajusshi brothers for ever and always, amen.

Fade Out

PREVIEW
SP didn’t do it, you know that, prosecutor
As soon as he was arrested our court started
Do you think there is a such thing as coincidence int he world?
This is not coincidence, it is all staged
There should be a little crack in this well formed plan
Kiseung is my place, whoever is not my kid, I will kill them all
Don’t do anything, that is my order (wink)
Maybe uncle was preparing something?
