I literally hate this trope...

HEAVY SPOILERS: Always the same. A total piece of trash (SML) redeemed as the best friend of the ML/FL. What is the sense in that? What does it teach to the viewers? I have already felt it going this way during those pseudo-romantic scenes with a FL - in those, she feels bad for him and the melancholic music plays when she should actually rather spit in his face and beat the hell out of him.

I really enjoy when a "dark" style character/duo wrecks and mops the floor with the bad guys instead of a forced, fake redemption presented by so many series. In Lawless Lawyer it is ok - it's not friendship, it's not a redemption but rather consequences of being a piece of shit, which force the bad guy to kinda help our ML & FL by fighting for his life against the crime boss lady who used him and betrayed him.

This show had a lot of potential, has a lot of funny scenes, the relationship between ML/FL & their team is great for a comedy, not realistic, of course - but fun. However, the main story, what they did with a SML screams for Kim Do Ki to put his glasses on and pay a visit in his taxi to make things right for this show... It's especially funny when in another drama of the ML here (One Dollar Lawyer), an actor playing Kim Do Ki makes a small cameo - it would be much more needed here...
