Several years before the legal drama series “Laws” witnessed a return to Netflix After running the original TV broadcast, the show is connected to the South Korean fans in a unique way. A new edition of the drama of “claims”, The same title of American materials, which was first shown on Korean TV in 2018. While the original show was run for nine seasons, a new Korean new edition was broadcast for 16 episodes, which it is recognized that the usual for many text series in South Korea. Even with a much shorter length, K-drama still maintains the wide stroke of the original story, albeit from a South Korean cultural perspective.

Like his American counterpart, Korean “claims” maintains its primary focus on partnership and friendship between lawyers, one of which was established and the other started his career. Veteran lawyer Choi-Gun takes Go YEON-LOO (Park Hyung-Sik) under his wing, although he does not have a certificate in the law. While it lacks academic credentials for the practice of law, YEON-WOO will quickly prove that he is invaluable in the courtroom, and has a deep knowledge of the law and photographic memory. While the two men learn to trust each other and work together, they hide the secret of Yeon-Woo so that they can continue working in the Kang-Seok law office.

Widely, this corresponds to the initial hypothesis behind the American “claims”. At the same time, the K drama finds a way to present a satisfactory conclusion in a small part of his predecessor’s episodes.

One of the biggest differences between the two “claims” versions is how each of them deals with the inevitable disclosure of their rising lawyer’s lack of academic qualifications. For The American Show, it takes five full seasons of Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) to publicly expose it to lie about his legal credentials. For Yeon-Woo, this revelation comes at the end of the only series season, with his responsibility to find an innovative way to continue his career. With this in mind, one can argue that the “K-drama” claims end when it should be its American counterpart, as it reached its natural end while revealing the secret of incitement.

This accelerated pace and the organic end, instead of prolonging the story, is something that really distinguishes “claims”. Yes, switching the hypothesis to South Korea definitely distinguishes this series, but its basic characters and personal dynamics are still largely sound in the new version. Drama K exactly knows the type of story you are trying to tell, for how long, and build an exciting way to reach its conclusion accordingly. Although the primary conspiracy beats are familiar, they are presented in a surprising way even most admires the American “claims”.

Generally The American show is short -term, “fits no.”
