The manager of the firm gives a golden frog as a good luck gift to Baek Man, who is struggling to make ends meet. The frog is placed in Baek Man’s hand as an act of kindness, and the sound effects add an appropriate level of irony. However, one can’t help but notice the insult when Baek Man is asked to choose a bag to “look high class.” This moment also serves as a space for product placement.
Kang Ha Joon, the CEO of Kang’s Solutions, is Bae Man’s first client. He leaves abruptly, but in those few minutes he drops huge insider information on No Hwa Young. ..

The trial is about the victim’s experience of sexual harassment and her fight to prove her innocence.

He uses it to his benefit and his lawyer Yong Moon Gu turns the tables with his cross questions.

The Episode Review
The new drama, My Name, stars an anti-hero who has his own agenda and helps others along the way. ..
While the film primarily focuses on the military’s stringent rules and its impact on the human side of the story, our leads have their own revenge agenda. ..
The military recruit in question is in a difficult position, and the humour does not quite land. The scene is lightened by the use of humour, but it’s not really funny.
The story feels like it is hastily written to lay emphasis on the battles fought by the leads. The scenes switch from one to another rapidly and it takes a while to understand the chronology of events.
