Woo Young-woo graduates top of her class from Seoul National University's law school and joins the large firm Hanbada as a rookie attorney. She has a prodigious memory and autism spectrum disorder, so she finds the crack in a case faster than anyone in the courtroom while still losing every morning to a revolving door. A new case arrives each episode, and the way she solves it becomes the way she negotiates with the world.
The tree from the Sodeok-dong case in episodes 7 and 8 was never a set piece. It is a real hackberry that has stood on a hill in Dongbu village, Daesan-myeon, Changwon for more than 500 years. It was designated a natural monument after the show aired and the village walls picked up humpback whale murals, so a trip to see one tree turns into a loop around the whole village.

The Sodeok-dong hackberry from the show. It is over 500 years old, 16 meters tall with a crown 27 meters across, so in person it spreads much wider than it reads on screen. On 7 October 2022, after the series aired, it was designated the natural monument Changwon Bukbu-ri Hackberry. Park at the village entrance and the uphill walk takes about ten minutes.

The village you pass through on the way up to the tree. After the show aired, murals of humpback whales, Young-woo and her friend Geu-ra-mi went up on the walls, and the local bus stop is now known as the Sodeok-dong stop. Changwon ran a city tour bus dedicated to this one village, which is roughly how busy it got.

The gimbap shop run by Young-woo's father. The story puts it in Seoul, but it actually stands on Haengridan-gil in Haenggung-dong, Suwon, and at the time of filming it was a Japanese restaurant called Kazaguruma. Seoho Gimbap took over the space and still trades under the original orange Woo Young-woo Gimbap sign.
