Synopsis[edit]
Seo Jin-woo has a special condition called hyperthymesia which allows him to
remember almost every day in perfect detail. His father Seo Jae-hyuk, on the other
hand, has developed Alzheimer's disease, making him lose his memories. When Seo
Jae-hyuk is wrongfully convicted of murder, Jin-woo vows to prove his father's
innocence. Four years later, Seo Jin-woo becomes a lawyer to put real criminals behind
bars, but bribery, corruption, and betrayal will not allow him an easy road to justice.
Cast[edit]
Main[edit]
 Yoo Seung-ho as Seo Jin-woo
As a child, he goes to live with his father after his mother and brother die in a car
accident. Using his superior memory, he is able to become the youngest lawyer
in South Korea after dropping out of high school to prove his father's innocence
and prevent his execution. Four years after meeting Lee In-ah, he becomes her
boyfriend. He later suffers from Alzheimer's and constantly experiences sudden
memory loss, which worsens throughout the series. This further motivates him to
bring Nam Gyu-man and the Il-ho company to justice while simultaneously
proving his father's innocence.

 Park Min-young as Lee In-ah

Apart from Park Dong-ho, she is the only one to believe that Seo Jin-woo's father
is innocent, and she unconditionally supports Jin-woo during tough times. While
in university, she helps her parents deliver Papa John's Pizza. Four years later,
she becomes a prosecutor in order to fight for Jin-woo's father. She believes in
honesty and truth but is hindered by her superiors, who accept bribes from Il-Ho
Group. She later prosecutes Gyu-man and is able to successfully prove him
guilty of murder, among other crimes, for which he is sentenced to death. She
also eventually becomes Jin-woo's girlfriend.

 Park Sung-woong as Park Dong-ho

A lawyer with a 100% success rate, infamous for defending the rich and powerful
regardless of their guilt or innocence. He is known to speak Korean with a very
thick Gyeongsang accent. When he first meets Jin-woo, he is reluctant to take on
his father's case due to the high likelihood of losing. But since Jin-woo reminds
him of his younger self, he softens his heart and takes on the case. However, he
eventually tanks the case under pressure from the Il-Ho Group. He then signs
under the Il-Ho legal team, but still supports Jin-woo deep in his heart. It is also
revealed that the car accident his father caused many years ago is the same one
that killed Jin-woo's mother and brother. Jin-woo eventually lets go of his hatred
towards Dong-ho and forgives him, and they team up to expose Nam Gyu-man's
crimes and the corruption of the Il-ho Group.

 Namkoong Min as Nam Gyu-man

A twisted and wealthy antagonist, Nam Gyu-man is responsible for the crime that
Seo Jin-woo's father is wrongly accused of. He is ruthless, violent, and brutal, to
the extent that his company maintains a separate legal team to handle the fallout
of his behavior. He also has a terrible fear of his father's wrath. Nam Gyu-man
goes on to commit more heinous and treacherous acts throughout the series,
demonstrating a lack of remorse, disregarding right and wrong, and having no
regard for human life. Eventually, Nam Gyu-man is arrested and brought to trial
for the murder of Oh Jung-ah among his many other crimes. He is found guilty,
convicted, and sentenced to death. In the series finale, he commits suicide by
hanging while in solitary confinement on death row.

 Jung Hye-sung as Nam Yeo-kyung

Living in an upper-class bubble, Yeo-kyung is Nam Gyu-man's sister and is
adored by her father. She is also Lee In-ah's classmate and colleague, and is
quickly attracted to Seo Jin-woo because of his amazing skills. Unlike her father
and brother, she is good-natured and kind-hearted, leading her to express her
disappointment in them for their heinous deeds. Near the end of the series, she
informs In-ah that her brother is trying to flee to China using a fake passport and
identity, which allows In-ah and Jin-woo to stop him and bring him to trial for the
murder of Oh Jung-ah and all his other crimes. Yeo-kyung eventually packs up
her belongings and leaves her father's home for good in the series finale.
Supporting[edit]
 Jun Kwang-ryul as Seo Jae-hyuk
Jin-woo's father. He is wrongly accused of crimes committed by Nam Gyu-man
and is subsequently sentenced to death. He suffers from Alzheimer's and is
therefore unable to prove himself innocent, and he later dies of cancer. Finally,
after two retrials, Seo Jae-hyuk is posthumously acquitted of all criminal charges.

 Han Jin-hee as Nam Il-ho

A corrupt chairman of Il-Ho company, and Gyu-man and Yeo-kyung's father. He
will stop at nothing to protect his company. He is eventually arrested for
corruption in the finale of the series.

 Lee Si-eon as Ahn Soo-bum[6]

Il-Ho company's section chief and Nam Gyu-man's former right-hand man. He
was obedient and loyal to Gyu-man and often serves as his punching bag, but
does not agree with his extreme methods. Soo-bum eventually allies himself with
Jin-woo and plays a crucial role in exposing Gyu-man as the real murderer of Oh
Jung-ah.

 Lee Won-jong as Suk Joo-il[6]

A gang leader who is also a father figure for Park Dong-Ho. He submits to the
authority of the Nam family.

 Um Hyo-sup as Hong Moo-suk[6]

A corrupt prosecutor who is excellent at fabricating stories during case trials. He
handles Seo Jae-hyuk's trial and subsequently moves up the ranks to become
Lee In-ah's section chief. He misuses his power to cover up the crimes of Il-Ho
company, and abets Il-ho company and Nam Gyu-man in committing further
crimes throughout the series. He is also Park Dong-ho's rival. Near the end of the
series, he assists the protagonists in bringing Nam Il-ho to justice, providing
evidence to expose the corruptions of Il-ho company. Nevertheless, in the series
finale he is arrested for corruption and fabricating evidence in Seo Jae-hyuk's
trial.

 Kim Jin-woo as Kang Suk-gyu

A judge with a sense of justice. The death of Jung-ah's father fuels him to ensure
that criminals are given well-deserving sentences.

 Song Young-kyu as Tak Young-jin

A prosecutor and Lee In-ah's boss. He often reprimands In-ah for not working
within the role of a prosecutor, but he nevertheless understands and supports
her.

Seo Jae-hyuk's original defence lawyer, later replaced by Park Dong-ho. Since
the day Seo Jae-hyuk is sentenced to death, he feels guilty for not helping Jin-
woo prove his father's innocence. Four years later, he joins Jin-woo's law firm
after Jin-woo becomes a lawyer. He also has a persistent stutter, which he
eventually overcomes.

Lee Jeong-eun as

Yeon Bo-mi
A woman who once worked at Jin-woo's law firm, and whom Jin-woo helped to
escape from an abusive marriage. Throughout the series, Bo-mi acts as a mother
figure for Jin-woo, and is generally supportive of him.

  Maeng
Sang-hoon
as Oh
Sung-taek[6]
Jung-ah's father. He hates Jae-hyuk for killing his daughter and only child, and
even threatens Jae-hyuk with a knife in court, demanding he be put to death.
Later he accidentally finds evidence suggesting that Seo Jae-hyuk is not the true
culprit, and subsequently informs his attorney, Hong Moo-suk, not knowing that
Moo-suk is secretly in the side of Il-Ho company. Because of this he is found
dead, presumably by suicide over the grief of his daughter's death. Four years
later, Lee In-Ah discovers a letter that Sung-taek left at Oh Jung-ah's memorial.
The handwriting in this letter and in his supposed suicide note are not a match,
indicating that he was murdered, with Il-ho company playing a part in it.

 Nam
Myung-
ryul as
Kang
Man-soo
He was the Vice President of Il-Ho company, who was married with one
daughter. Kang was accused of sexually assaulting a woman named Kim Han-
na. He was innocent of the crime, and the accusation was a scheme by
Chairman Nam to get rid of him. Jin-woo took up Kang's case and he managed
to successfully prove Kang's innocence. Kang later provided him evidence of Il-
ho Company's corruption crimes.

her (there was another culprit).
